FORMER IRELAND MANAGER Jack Charlton was presented to the Aviva Stadium crowd before kick-off this afternoon.

And fans of both the Boys in Green and England — with whom he won the 1966 World Cup, of course — gave him a much-deserved standing ovation which prompted an emotional reaction from Big Jack.

    Clonlara and Cratloe between them could probably give a decent game to the likes of Offaly Wexford and Antrim with that amount of quality in their club teams

    Hard to believe there are no players from Clarecastle, Sixmilebridge, Barefield & Wolfe Tones in the starting 15. The 90′s team was predominantly made up of players from these clubs.

    Why don’t you do your job properly? You forgot Eire Og!

    Hi Kieran,

    Just went with the clubs that supply players to the starting side as the substitutes have not been officially announced yet.

    Am aware that Shane O’Donnell of Eire Og will probably be on the bench.

    Thanks,

    Fintan
