Malta vs Ireland: Stephen Kenny’s side locked out of training at Ta’Qali Stadium

“That’s never happened before,” said the Ireland manager. “I’ve never had that, even in European games. They’ve said we can’t use the stadium, the pitch looked fine in the match I’ve seen, but we’re not allowed train on it, we’ve got to train at a training ground here out the back.”

Sunday’s international friendly will be the eighth senior fixture between the countries, with Ireland winning the previous seven. Kenny will be making changes to his side with Seamus Coleman starting at the back, while he has also hinted at a goalkeeping switch and possibly some reshuffling around the middle of the field.

Early excuse

If we loose this , he has to be sacked

Arming himself with excuses already. It’s a friendly game,play the youngsters and be done with it.

Will we be having an article on state sponsored assassination in footballing nations? Why are we supporting such a regime?

Roy wouldn’t be happy

Wonderful photo.

Blessing is disguise. Pity they where not locked out of the aviva.
