I'd play
..........Forde
Coleman.....O'shea...Pearce/Delaney.....Wilson
............McCarthy.......whelan
Brady..........................................McGeady
...........................Wes H...............
.....................Long........................
Ward is brutal and not good enough to start, not saying we're blessed with left backs but I'm a bette rplayer then Ward.
I'd liek to see Pilkington get on and maybe Reid for Wes at some point.
As much as I love Keano he doesn't do enough work off the ball, he's still our most natural goal scorer and if it came down to 1 single chance you'd back robbie over Long all day but playing Robbie hurts the team overall IMO and Long works harder.
Was at the Oman game, 14.5k at it! Shocking stuff was awful to see th eground like that, hopefully McGeadys (a player I have heavily criticised in the past) late winner has generated a bity more interest.
McGready used to drive me mad but I think allot of the reason he was poor was down to trap and his awful tactics especially in the last few years of his tenure, already McGeady is looking a far better player and hope he continues to improve.

Preaching to the Choir Dave I've no time for him, always felt he was overrated here in ROI due to his celtic connections, I like Celtic but in many ROI fans eyes once a lad plays for Celtic they must be playing for ROI.

How you feel about strachan Dave? He's doing a good job, I'm really lookin gforward to the 2 games, the atmosphere will at least be good in the Aviva for a change when the Scotts arrive and think I'll go over for the away game.
