KilbrideJambo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Forgot we had a fixture with them scheduled for 9 Feb in Dublin. Do they have a better squad than us? Looking at this list they have players at as many clubs with top pedigree as us or indeed more? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/9382191.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think Dublin is hosting both Carling Nations games (Eire v Wales the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Garcia Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Dublin hosts the whole tournament. We play Wales and ROI in May after season ends. Going across for this one, mainly to get a point to increase my chances for the Spain game or England if it ever comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_jambo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nice one. Shame ROI is so expensive just now. I might of fancied this. Is the game during the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this list they have players at as many clubs with top pedigree as us or indeed more? http://news.bbc.co.u...ish/9382191.stm You think? Craig Gordon & Phil Bardsley (Sunderland) Alan Hutton (Tottenham Hotspur) Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) Are all first picks for top 10 EPL clubs. I don't think they have anyone in that bracket. We also have McFadden (before injury), Dorrans, Morrison, Adam, Berra and G.Caldwell who are first picks for EPL teams, Steven Fletcher is starting for Wolves now as well and Barry Bannan is in and out of the Aston Villa team. They only have Baird, Hughes, Cathcart and Brunt in that category. Davis is also a decent player. I'd say our squad is stronger in every area apart from defence.
