It has been reported that the Republic of Ireland will play England in a friendly at Wembley next year.

It will form part of the English FA's 150-year anniversary celebrations next May.

The two nations have not played each other since their February 1995 clash in Lansdowne Road which was postponed after 27 minutes when England fans started rioting.

It is a coup for the FAI who had tried to arrange a meeting with England prior to the European Championships, but was shelved when the draw for the competition brought the possibility of the two facing each other in the quarter-finals.

With the game being played in Wembley, it means that the FA will owe the FAI a return game at the Aviva.

Is that the closest we have had to an all irish born team since the granny rule came in?

[Forever Green]

I know I deserved it but the Under 21s let my accumulator down yesterday, the bastards. They must have a pretty decent team to go win 4-2 in Italy with 9 men ffs

9 from 11 Irish born so fairly close to a full XI alright.

And they were without Robbie Brady, the best player in that squad,. hopefully he does well tonight. The U21's had a chance to qualify for the euros up till the Hungary game, when 3 players pulled out but played with their club a few days later. They had nothing to lose last night and it was a team made up of lads from the u19's who got to the euro semi's last year.

McGlean must feel like a clown now, his rant on twitter cost him a start tonight and it will probaly cost him until Trappatoni remains. If Brady does well tonight he will be down the pecking order more..

Screamer

Good to see there is more talent coming through. We should still have a strong squad once the likes of O`Shea, Dunne and Keane decide to call it a day

[Capt Pat]

It is in Antrim but I suppose a lot of people might consider him to be from the nearest main town which is Lurgan in Armagh. I looked this up.

I am really looking forward to seeing what Brady can do at this level. Hopefully he does well enough to get considered for competitive fixtures.

When I saw that under 21 result in the paper I thought Italy had won only after looking a few hours later did I see we beat the Italy under 21s away from home???
