Kerr: It’s like Trap getting Italy

BRIAN KERR has admitted to mixed feelings about his Faroe Islands side drawing the Republic of Ireland in the qualifiers for World Cup 2014.

Top seeds Germany might be the big name as well as the biggest threat in Group C but the prospect of a former Ireland manager coming up against Giovanni Trapattoni can only add extra spice to the games against the North Atlantic minnows.

“It was only a nine to one chance but I kind of had a feeling after we got Northern Ireland the last time that it might come up,” says Kerr, who was Ireland manager when we last played the Faroes in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers.
