James Roche “No McLean starting bad management… Martin O Neill n Sunderland will be happy”

Sean Kinsella “Starting a championship striker Cox on the left wing ahead of McClean, a left winger in the premiership is a sackable offense in my opinion.”

Richard Garvey “It’ll be 1 nil, we’ll string about 10 passes together, Keane will be chasing the ref with his arms in the air, they will miss a sitter, Trap will be standing on the sidelines with his arms folded and that’s about it. 3 points and boring.”

Alan Mc Grath “I’m a season ticket holder for the Aviva, but just couldn’t be bothered with this game. No excitement any more!”

Dave Duffy “I’d rather celebrate people who might win something than people who might qualify for something so yeah, I’m giving up hope for them and getting behind the rugby players. I’m sick of Ireland celebrating mediocrity. It’s not healthy.”

Jamie Conroy “Yes we’re Irish so you should get behind the team whether or not you approve of the style of play or team selection by the manager its not the players fault he plays that system. COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN!!!!”

Rob Duffy “I’m shouting for England these days!”
