Strachan blamed bad luck for his country’s latest setback.

That’s the sound of the police.

The Danesfort dynamo was in top form.

Take the rest of the day, Longy.

Marco Reus scored a brace against the Boys in Green on his last trip to Dublin.

The Poland international has scored 10 goals in his last three games and could do Ireland a big favour in Glasgow.

The West Ham full-back speaks about his time away from the Ireland squad.

The West Brom striker was initially left out of the provisional squad for the Aviva Stadium friendly.

The Ireland defender is facing up to three months on the sidelines. A little less if the Stoke boss gets his way.

Oh dear. That’s our record goalscorer, America.

The Italian coach is here to stay, whether Irish fans like it or not.

Today, Germany coach Joachim Loew cancelled an appointment to appear on German television this evening, because of a fever.

The Italian will be in East Anglia today to run the rule over the Irish in action for Norwich against Arsenal.

Hang on in there… it’s almost the weekend.

The manager’s going nowhere for now.

The FAI announced last night that the Italian manager had their backing.

Trap avoids the sack, Punchestown to go ahead and the day of reckoning for Lance Armstrong.

Trapattoni must interpret last night’s events a warning that he must deviate from his stubborn ways, writes Paul Fennessy.

Trapattoni survives for now, and many of the Twitterati were far from impressed.

It has been confirmed that Trapattoni will stay on as Ireland manager. What do you think of this development?

The Ireland manager has come under pressure since the team’s 6-1 loss to Germany at the weekend.

“Our aim now is to kick on and to beat the teams around us, Sweden and Austria. Our main objective is to finish second,” the skipper said.

It was bad news for Ireland’s World Cup hopes though.

The former Ireland boss reckons the German game was the ‘end of the line’ for Trap.

Letting slip a four-goal lead, Jogi? What’s the German for schadenfreude?

Two out of three ain’t bad but is the Trap era over for Ireland?

“I think he was the manager after Friday’s game and after getting a great result tonight I can’t see him not being the manager to be honest with you.”

The Wigan midfielder was the stand-out performer as Ireland got the job done in Torshavn.

The Boys in Green face the Faroe Islands with some reports suggesting the Italian will be sacked whatever the result in Torshavn.

“I am sure we will have a very tough game tomorrow,” Lars Olsen added. Don’t patronise us, Faroe Islands.

The trip to Dublin seems to have a galvanising effect for the Germans.

“The FAI have a big decision to make and if they don’t make the right decision — which is to pay him off and get a better manager — the consequences will be dire”

The Fulham defender was ultimately persuaded to leave for Vagar ahead of tomorrow night’s game.

There was a sense of deja vu about recent criticisms leveled at Giovanni Trapattoni, writes Paul Fennessy.

Meanwhile, Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff has admitted the Ireland game was easier than expected.

Irish football fans at last have a reason to be cheerful, thanks to this hilarious parody.

“Every player loses many, many games,” trumpeted the Irish manager.

Meanwhile, Kevin Kilbane, who played under Trap, also believes he should resign.
