Richie Sadlier joins us in studio for an early-morning gameday scene-setter.  We touch on Gareth Bale’s greatness, and whether or not we have a plan to keep him quiet.  James McClean’s emotional week will have an impact – but will it be positive, or negative?

Devastated and heartbroken right now! So close! So honoured and proud to be a part of this amazing team. #IRL pic.twitter.com/QD9wAgtJKT

And while our injuries have dampened expectations, a win tonight would take us ever closer to a ticket to Russia next year. Come for the preview, stay for a classic Richie Sadlier power-play at the expense of Eoin.
