Trap warns of tough times ahead

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has warned his players the hard work starts now after seeing them climb to the top of Euro 2012 qualifying Group B.

Tonight’s 3-1 victory over Andorra at the Aviva Stadium, coupled with Friday’s 1-0 win in Armenia, left the Republic with six points, the same as Slovakia, who claimed a famous away win against favourites Russia earlier this evening.
