Ireland squad for Gibraltar and Germany:
GK: Forde, Westwood, Elliot
DF: Keogh, Wilson, O'Shea, Pearce, Clark, Ward, Lenihan
MF: Hendrick, Whelan, Gibson, McGeady, Pilkington, McClean, Brady, Quinn, Meyler, Hoolahan
FW: Walters, Keane, Long, Murphy, Doyle, Stokes
McCarthy, Coleman and Given are out injured.. Brian Lenihan a 20-year old right-back who joined Hull a month ago from Cork City is in.
Gibraltar did manage draws with Slovakia and Estonia and a win over Malta in friendlies earlier this year but they lost 7-0 in their first competitive 'home' game against Poland last month and it's a country with the population of Bray and 2 pro players.. You'd imagine that if ever we're going to get a chance to run the score up, this'll be it. The biggest score I can remember seeing Ireland win by is 5-0 (against Turkey in 1991, and the same against San Marino under Stan), could be a chance to top that if Robbie wants to rack up a load of pointless goals.
