Chippy and Eamo scrap over Trap

Right from the opening exchanges, the night held promise. Key men on their games, getting stuck in, making their presence felt.

“I’m here to analyse. By the way, that’s what you’re paid to do as well, not be a PR man for Trapattoni.” Eamo rattled Brady with a few early reducers, but much like the Swedes, Chippy didn’t really look up for the fight.

“Beatable, if we stop Ibrahimovic,” was his verdict on the home side. If Liam could nail the name of the man who has twisted his tongue on so many European nights, you sensed anything was possible.
