A week before a huge game against Austria and having the panel travel across the atlantic. The FAI would do anything for a few bob. Ridiculous.

Doubt any of the First XI will be invovled. Would be more like the fringe players getting a run out. Likes of Randolph Brady Coleman etc.. will stay behind in Dublin IMO

I'd send over the kids like O'Dowda,Kelly,Egan ect. over, meanwhile we have a different group with the likes of Brady,Coleman,McCarthy,Hendrick,Long etc. stay home and prepare for Uruguay and more importantly Austria. Maybe to attract more viewers Ireland should play Doyle!

Long time between end of English season and Austria this extra games means most of the squad fot Austria should get at least 60 mins under their belts. A few days training in the US away from the hype building up for Austria could be a good thing

It's 10 days beforehand and I wouldn't be against it tbh. I do think this'll be the game to try out any new players who may have another opportunity in the Uruguay game incase we need unexpected back up on the bench for Austria. |

Seems a bizarre suituation before such an important game.
If this happen I'm sure none of the first XI would travel. An extra game is no harm for the fringe and up and coming players to get game time. They could even let Javier pick the squad! |

Agree with Missy. Its 10 days before the qualifier. The trip to Georgia 3 days before Serbia will take them longer.
Yes tha FAI are doing it for a pay day and a jolly but O Neill had to approve it and it serves zero harm. |

Why do you asune that? How long do you think it takes players to recover from playing in a match  You do know we play in Georgia on a Saturday and then Serbia at home on a Tuesday? |

In important qualifiers. Its a little different from a trek across the Atlantic for a pay day |

My view is that they are either sitting on their arses for 22 hours a day in Abbottstown or in New York. It shouldn't make a blind bit of difference to professional footballers. A night out on the town would be a lot bigger a hindrance on performance than a 6 hour flight, of which we know they all embrace, and I don't see anything wrong with that either.

Heard this is confirmed this morning. Some very obvious con's in this, but hopefully some pro's aswell.

Apart from the world rankings I can't see too many negatives at all. A good trip for a bit of team bonding and to alleviate the boredom before Austria, another chance for some fringe players to get a run out and stake a claim, a chance for some US based fans to see us play and the FAI will make a few quid to pay for JD's bar bill at the Four Seasons.

Agreed that world ranking is only con. The FAI will have some amount of egg on their face if this is difference between seeded in a playoff in October/world cup group stage and not. |

Cant see what the fuss is about.
Does anyone believe MON and Roy would agree to the game if they didn't want it Personally I reckon we need two or even three games between the end of the UK season and Austria. It should be good for team bonding and I'm sure the players would prefer somewhere different than the Castleknock hotel and Abbotstown for a few days. It also makes far more sense for the FAI to take a guaranteed payday than risk a loss making game in LR.
