Less than 12 hours after Ireland’s frankly incredible 4-0 win over Estonia it still is hard to belive how we actually beat a side away from home by that scoreline.
Trap has his side very orgainised but there is still no doubt that players are more afraid of making a mistake and being hauled of than actually playing soccer.
Andrews goal was the key but the ref has to be given the freedom of Dublin too-to play a team reduced to nine men and not score at least more than once would have been a total sin.
The match makes Tuesday’s second leg redundant so all that remains to be seen now is what players may come in between now and 2012 to stake a claim at if not starting then at elast make the subs bench.
Ward at left back is a nailed on starter now-Kevin kilbane may not even make the flight.
Seamus Coleman and James Mc Carthy must also think they will have a chance to impress- and they must be given the chance.
Walters may have done enough to show that he is a viable alternative to Doyle or Long-we are at elast a far cry from the days of depending on Clinton morrison to bail us out!
So off to euro 2012-plastic hammers-green hats and sparkly face piant at the ready-let’s just hope our luck keeps until next summer.
