Moldova vs Ireland, World Cup Qualifier, RTE 2 & Sky Sports 1, KO 7.45

Wales have been held at home 1-1 to our Georgian friends.

Great chance for Ireland to capitalize. Team news:

Ireland XI: Randolph; Coleman, Clark, Duffy, Ward; McCarthy, Whelan; Walters, Hoolahan, McClean; Long.

Very happy to see Hoolahan start. A win tonight would make this a great evening (and if Serbia can take points off Austria, a fantastic evening).

RTE player not working for anyone else?

Oddly, so far, the player is working OK for me. I'm sure it'll stop, never to start again, during an exciting counterattack though.

MON just cannot hide his disdain for TOD.

Agent Coulson · 09-10-2016 07:10PM

MON vs TOD isn't funny anymore it's just cringe.

Martin's hatred for Tony is just quiet sad now really.

II see O'Donough trying to get in and O'Neill having none. Strange interview

Debil · 09-10-2016 07:11PM

Vibes of "Are you an ostrich?" off MON.

Can't even get a picture to show for me. Must be because I'm up in Belfast at the OHs parents place

Very odd interview

In fairness Tony has been trying his big man impersonating and asking the questions that quiet frankly no other one does

Never feels the same not being able to watch this on RTE, i'll probably end up with some random american coverage if im lucky where they are referencing their debate every minute.

Important 3 pts here and despite injuries that side should be good enough to get him. Huge that Long (even if he isn't scoring much atm) is fit to start

RTE just showed Irish fans before going to ads...if there's a prize for cold sores one poor fellow is out on his own...

In fairness to MON, going against Tony is not clever. And used to think he was good with the media.

From the very start it seems like!

I think he either saw or got tipped off about TOD's interviews with Trapp and decided he wasn't going to take any s**t from him from the outset.

This, imo.

TOD was an awful stirrer during the Trap years.

It has gotten to the stage where TOD could say the most anodyne, upbeat comment like "So, great result tonight Martin, eh?" and MON would still find something beyond passive-aggressive to reply with.

No Ronnie on commentary. Big Jim Beglin back. Love it.

Trap was a desperate interviewee, he switched to using English in the later stages of his Irish regime when he could hide from hard questions by just repeating "passion" in the answer.

Come back home. Just think; you'll get to enjoy the wit and wisdom of messrs Hamilton, Whelan, Dunphy, Brady etc etc. And of course, the legend that is TOD!
