Even on this, the most hyped up week in Irish soccer since Saipan, the photos of the squad training are chewing gum for the eyes on best. So bored were we when looking through them that we decided to needlessly speculate what was really going on when these snaps were taken:
Roy gets back to basics by showing Robbie how to stand for the national anthem.
Despite Trapattoni confiscating his beard after his last game, Shane Long is well on his way to growing a new one.
'Man tells a doctor he thinks that he's a pair of curtains. Doctor replies ''Pull yourself together man!'''
Kevin Doyle realises Joey O'Brien is culpable for stealing the rest of his bottom teeth.
After spotting John Delaney approaching Roy aims straight for the head.
Martin recites the lyrics of his favourite Tinchy Stryder song but Roy refuses to sing the N*Dubz part.
Robbie soldiers on after Roy chops his hand off for losing at headers and volleys.
Seamus Coleman however, was not so lucky.
All fun and games come to an end when Fr Frost calls everyone in for their tea.
