Decisions to be made: O’Reilly

NOEL O’REILLY yesterday suggested that Ireland’s management team had not yet finalised their tactical approach to tomorrow’s Championship tie against Albania – but one wonders.

O'Reilly, a vital member of Ireland's management team with Brian Kerr and Chris Hughton, suggested after yesterday's training session that decisions still had to be made for a match that Ireland must win if they are to realistically hope to muscle their way into one of the two positions that count in the European qualifying campaign.

Ireland worked yesterday at the ground of the Malahide Leinster Senior League club, with the waters of Dublin Bay washing against the perimeter fence.
