Austin O'Callaghan reports from Tallinn Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni is yet to decide who will partner skipper Robbie Keane in Friday night's Euro 2012 play-off first leg clash with Estonia in Tallinn. Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni is yet to decide who will partner skipper Robbie Keane in Friday night's Euro 2012 play-off first leg clash with Estonia in Tallinn. Stoke forward Jonathan Walters or West Brom's Simon Cox will get the nod to replace the suspended Kevin Doyle, with the Italian making that call on Friday. Leon Best and Shane Long are also unavailable to Trapattoni. Stephen Kelly will take over from the injured John O'Shea at right-back. Shay Given will play in goal, with Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger and Stephen Ward joining Kelly in defence. Keith Andrews, Glenn Whelan, Damien Duff and Aiden McGeady start in midfield. Best is ruled out of Friday's first leg in Tallinn as he awaits the birth of his first child. The Newcastle striker was already a doubt for the game after suffering groin and toe injuries during Saturday's 2-1 win over Everton. However, Best's wife is due to give birth imminently and he will join the squad on Saturday. West Brom striker Long had already withdrawn from the squad after failing to overcome a knee injury. Portsmouth midfielder Liam Lawrence reported on Sunday to have his ankle ligament injury assessed, but was swiftly sent back to his club. O'Shea may still be involved in the second leg in Dublin <b>...</b>

Jason McAteer says he's delighted for Republic of Ireland's stars after a 4-0 win in Estonia put them within touching distance of Euro 2012. Ireland ran home comfortable winners in the first leg of their play-off tie after seeing the hosts reduced to nine men, and now look certain to book their place at next summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine. A brace from Robbie Keane and goals from Keith Andrews and Jon Walters has put Giovanni Trapattoni's men in a commanding position. And McAteer says after the heartache of recent play-off defeats, it's no more than they deserve: "They've only won one in six so it's been a bit of a nightmare time," he told Soccer AM. "The only one I played in was in Iran and that was amazing, but they're horrible things, because it's a two-year campaign and it's hard work. "So to play in the play-offs and it get down to two games to play in a World Cup or a European Championships - which is the pinnacle of any footballer's career - and then to get knocked out, it's an absolute nightmare. "But it looks as though they've given themselves a really good chance of going through." Tough ask Estonia will head to Dublin ahead of the return leg on Tuesday knowing they now face an almost impossible task. And McAteer, who won over 50 caps for the Ireland, believes their task will be made that much more difficult with Trapattoni likely to revert back to his preferred defensive tactics to see out the tie. He said: "He's very Italian in the way he plays <b>...</b>

Ireland V France South Africa Damien Duff Eamon Dunphy John Giles Post Match Analysis

Republic of Ireland too strong for Italy Keith Andrews and Simon Cox teamed up to fire Giovanni Trapattoni's Republic of Ireland to a 2-0 victory over his native country Italy. The Blackburn midfielder's sweet 36th-minute strike and a second from substitute Cox at the death secured a fourth successive win for the Republic and extended Trapattoni's unbeaten record against the team he once managed to three games. Once again, Ireland's industry and commitment saw them through against technically more gifted opponents despite nine changes to the side which defeated Macedonia in Skopje at the weekend. Cesare Prandelli's men may have dominated possession but they failed to make the most of it and when the chances came their way, the Irishmen took them with some aplomb in front of a crowd of 21516. The large contingent of Italian expatriates at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium in Liege made their feelings abundantly clear on the final whistle on a night when Sean St Ledger led a gritty defensive display in his first game for 11 weeks, while midfielder Stephen Hunt turned in another terrier-like performance. It may not have had the significance of the Republic's famous 1994 World Cup finals win over Italy at the Giants Stadium in New York, but it served to illustrate a depth to Trapattoni's squad which many of his predecessors have not enjoyed. He in effect fielded a second XI, having dispatched senior men Shay Given, Kevin Kilbane, Aiden McGeady and Robbie Keane on top of the absent <b>...</b>

RTÉ News Short - Six One News (17/11/11) A stolen tracksuit and a bag of balls helped one ticketless Ireland fan to the best seat in the house for their Euro 2012 playoff win over Estonia - in the opposition dugout. Corkman Conor Cunningham travelled to Tallinn's A. Le Coq Arena and managed to bypass security after sneaking in a stadium side entrance. After sitting next to Estonia manager Tarmo Ruutli for Ireland's 4-0 first victory last Friday, he was spotted by TV cameras on the pitch afterwards celebrating with the Ireland players. "I just spotted an open door and I thought I will stick my head through there but it was just a closed-in room but I found an Estonian tracksuit and I just threw it on," he told the Mirror. "I threw the bag of balls over my shoulder and just went for it. I didn't know what to do, to be honest, so I thought I'd better go into the Estonian dug-out." "No one said anything to me and then I realised I was sitting beside their manager (Tarmo Ruutli). "It was about 10 or 15 minutes into the match when a UEFA official got suspicious of me. He came over and, after talking to me, told me I had to move. "Even after the match I just strolled out on to the pitch." He was unable to travel to Dublin for Tuesday's return leg as Ireland qualified for Euro 2012 with a 5-1 aggregate win. www.rte.ie
