After their brutal result against Israel Ireland (sorry, Republic of …) bounce back with a win in a friendly over China, thanks to Clinton Morrison again.

    Normally, I go along to the friendlies at Lansdowne, but couldn’t make it last night. I saw some of the ‘highlights’ on telly and it looked pretty woejus, so I’m glad I missed it.

    Still, France and Israel drawing tonight did us some favours, tho’ the Swiss win over Cyprus means they are now like us, on 9 pts with 5 games played, and a better goal difference.

    It’s all to play for, lads!

    Reports say it was a brutal game. Maybe their heart wasn’t in it after the Israel game. Certainly they’ll need to pull their socks up for the remaining qualifiers.

    p.s. welcome to the site Gerry!

    You’re welcome, maca. ;o)

    I see from your archives you’ve had this blog going for a while, but you’ve kept it fairly quiet…

    I wasn’t sure if i’d be able to keep it going or not so kept it as quiet as possible. I had other blogs which died cos of boredom/lack of interest ;)
