All discussion regarding Ireland, players, fixtures, results and the main man Trappers himself go into this thread.

According to bbcsport.co.uk
Trapattoni set for Republic post
Giovanni Trapattoni is in line to be the new Ireland manager
Giovanni Trapattoni is reported to have agreed to become Republic of Ireland
manager once his contract with Salzburg ends in May.
The former Italy coach is understood to have agreed in principle to a deal but his
current club, Red Bull Salzburg, told BBC Sport they would not comment.
Liam Brady is expected to be part of Trapattoni's backroom team.
FAI chief executive John Daleney said the name of the new manager would be
announced on Wednesday.
Trapattoni is reported to have met the three-man panel set up to find a new
manager in Austria on Sunday.
Delaney confirmed on Monday that a board of management meeting would take
place to approve an appointment.
He said one name has been endorsed by the selection panel and that a news
conference would be staged on Wednesday.
Trapattoni won six Serie A titles with Juventus and one with Inter Milan, while he
also won league titles with Bayern Munich, Benfica and Salzburg last season.
The appointment would be a blow for former England coach Terry Venables, who
had been hoping to be Steve Staunton's successor.
