Why don't Wales play in the Millennium Stadium anymore?
Surely they would sell it out for a game like tomorrow.

Apparently they do usually but chose this ground.
I think all of their games have been at Cardiff City's ground for the past few campaigns. Just thought with how well they did at the Euros that they would go back to the Millennium as interest would surely have been at an all time high.
Tomorrow's game would definitely have sold out there. The Irish would have nearly filled it on their own!

Talk about jammy. Bet they arse it up in Cardiff


Ireland's World Cup hopes received a massive, dramatic boost as Scotland hit an 88th-minute winner against Slovakia.

Martin Skrtel's own goal in the dying stages at Hampden Park means that if Scotland fail to beat Slovenia away on Sunday, wins against Moldova and Wales will be enough for Ireland to secure a play-off spot.

Scotland's last-gasp win, coupled with England's similarly dramatic late victory at home to Slovenia, were the best possible results for Martin O'Neill's Ireland in Group F.

Scotland's group now looks the most likely for Ireland to reel in for that coveted top eight runners up spot.
------'
Scotland's failure to take three points in Slovenia this evening means that Ireland's fate is now in their own hands as they head to Cardiff tomorrow. 

If Martin O'Neill's men beat Wales, by any scoreline, they will be assured of a spot in the World Cup play-offs.

Theoretically, Ireland could have qualified for the playoffs by winning 3-0 in Cardiff even had Scotland won but the result in Ljubljana means any victory will do for Ireland tomorrow.

Long out.
Big blow

No goals in 42 games, I wouldn't have been surprised if MoN dropped him anyway.

I'd go for...
                 Randolph

Brady    Duffy    Clark       Ward
           
                  Meyler
    Hendrick            McClean

                Hoolahan

     Walters            Murphy

Not so sure it is a blow. His confidence is in ribbons. Gortnahoe could have done with him in the Intermediate Final on Saturday as well, they got scutched by St. MArys.

4-5-1.
Christie, Duffy, Clark, Ward
?, Hendrick, Meyler, Brady, McClean
Murphy

Hoolahan, Arter and Maguire to come off the bench.
Not sure who to play out wide

Pretty sure Walters is injured so you are looking at Maguire or Hogan - not ideal  to be throwing one of them in at the deep end for such a big match

I thought he was one of the players who missed the last game with suspension. I'd go for...

               Randolph

Brady    Duffy    Clark       Ward
           
                  Meyler
    Hendrick              Arter
                 Hoolihan

                           McClean

                     Murphy


Callum O'Dowda did very well on Friday night and could make a surprise appearance as well

AZOffaly

I'd go.

                                 Given

Irwin   McGrath    Lawrenson   Moran   McCarthy   Staunton
                   Keane      Whelan      Brady









                            Hoolohan

Absolutely. It shouldn't happen. Annoys me greatly.
