Trapattoni Press Conference in Tweets

Thursday, 21 March 2013 16:18

Team is confirmed.

Ireland: Forde; Coleman, O'Shea, Clark, Wilson; Brady, Green, Whelan, McClean; Keane Long.

— Alan Smith (@alansmith90) March 21, 2013 He's named in the team but...

Trap says Robbie Brady's place not confirmed because he wants a reaction from him to not being named in the team. Or something

— Dion Fanning (@dionfanning) March 21, 2013

Keogh will start if Brady doesn't make it.

— David McIntyre (@DaveMcIntyreNT) March 21, 2013 Apparently Green > McCarthy for this particular job.

Trap on McCarthy omission: "McCarthy also plays well but I couldn't ask him to stay in this position." Seems to be about marking Zlatan.

Trap likening Green's style and attitidue to Gennaro Gattuso and Nobby Stiles. "Not stars like Messi".

— David McIntyre (@DaveMcIntyreNT) March 21, 2013

Trap asked if the team lacks creativity without James McCarthy. Says he has great respect for him as a player but 'he is not creative'

— Dion Fanning (@dionfanning) March 21, 2013

Trap now makes a show of us ignorant hacks by leaving a female Swedish journalist skip ahead to ask a question.

— Alan Smith (@alansmith90) March 21, 2013 You sly Italian fox you.

Gentleman Trap interrupts a Swedish male journalist to let a lady who had her hand up for some time to go first. #chivalry

— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) March 21, 2013 Huh?

Swedish journalists asks about Ireland scoring a lot from set-pieces - Trap responds with 'have you a statistic for this?'

— Alan Smith (@alansmith90) March 21, 2013 A perfect way to end the confusion.

Trap: a win is 100 fathers. A defeat is an orphan". I'm lost.

— David McIntyre (@DaveMcIntyreNT) March 21, 2013 Fingers crossed for tomorrow night. *Picture from www.balls.ie
