Ireland ran out winners against Latvia in the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday night.
Evan Ferguson only has another 67 to go to reel in Robbie Keane, which may not be as mad as it sounds.
Giovanni Trapattoni used to bang on about the ‘little details’ but Kenny’s Ireland could do with tightening up on a few of them. Thankfully, super subs Mikey Johnston and Chiedozie Ogbene spared any blushes by combining two minutes after their arrival to put Ireland back in front. Johnston, late on, also showed glimpses of why Kenny was so determined to see the Glasgow-born ace switch allegiances but he’ll cook on the bench for a while longer.
And Ireland were cruising 11 minutes later when Ferguson bagged the goal that Irish fans were crying out to see him score. But Kenny’s Ireland have a frustrating knack of making life difficult for themselves when protecting leads and in the space of 11 ridiculous minutes, Latvia were level.
