Through a variety of circumstances, Ireland were short 13 players yesterday. And it's a moot point what appetite Kenny will now encounter in his players for this week's Finland trip given how last week's events degenerated into circus. These are unprecedented days and, for Kenny, probably the worst imaginable in which to be trying to work a revolution. If Long or Robbie Brady or Daryl Horgan take those that fell their way yesterday . But we live in a hopelessly frazzled world, one doing the new Ireland manager few favours.
