    He might still be available for our first two qualifiers, if he recovers in 4 weeks or less. If he is not, we are obviously in a lot of trouble.

    This is dreadful news. Is it 4-6 weeks from now, or from the start of the season?
    'cause the Swiss match is 39 days away - just over 5 weeks.

    Still, Robbie must be highly doubtful, if not definitely out of the Bulgaria, Cyprus and Switzerland matches.

    What should Kerr do to replace him? I think he should start with Duff and Morrison (or Lee) up front. I don't trust Connolly.

    I would like to see Duff where is at best - that is wide left. Morrison up top with Lee, as Lee being a more physical type of player will cause problems for opposing defences.

    Is the match in Lansdowne or Switzerland? If we are at home, I could live with Duffer up front with Morrison, since we now have Andy Reid and do not need to worry about starting Kilbane. If it is away, however, it may be a better idea to get a big man like Lee up front and let Duff cause havoc in midfield.

    If Duff is played as a centre forward we may aswell give up now.

    Surely Kerr is intelligent enough not to repeat the mistake McCarthy made time and time again....

    Is there anyone who wishes this dickhead wouldn't just "go away gracefully", no matter what his name?
