Oman Means Back to the Future for Ireland
If Ireland take three points in Tbilisi, the game with Oman might well have served its purpose. The last meeting came in Fulham’s Craven Cottage in September 2012 when Robbie Brady made his Irish debut with a standout performance. A month later the Dubliner was named in Manchester United’s Champions League squad list but the following January, following a second loan spell, he was signed by Hull City. Just as it has for Brady, much has changed in Irish football circles since then, but he may be about to step into the limelight.
