Keano out of return leg.

[BHManUNut]

Well, after a rousing performance on Saturday night, Roy Keane looks like he's going to head back to Manchester to see the specialist about his knee. Mark Kinsella is likely to be pencilled in in the centre of midfield to partner Matt Holland.

Roy Keane played a full ninety minutes and though he looked tired in the last 15 minutes, he did not look like he was carrying an injury.

Ireland take a satisfactory 2-0 first leg to Tehran where Iran need to score three without reply to overturn the tie.

Well kinsella is a good replacement. Him and Holland should hopefully do alright in the middle.

I just hope iran don't score in the first 30 odd minutes. The longer it stays 0:0 the more they'll push forward leaving more space for our pacey midfielders and attackers like Giggs, Beckham, Veron, Cole and Van Nistelrooy to exploit......

....oops wrong team!

GWAN IRELAND!!!!!
