The Boys in Green face Finland and Greece in the coming days
Richard Dunne has doubled down on comments he made earlier this week that Heimir Hallgrimsson could lose his job if Ireland do not record a win from their next two games.
“I’d be shocked if John O’Shea isn’t ready to step in again when needed after how he handled himself when he took charge of the team before. “That's the industry,” he said, dismissing Dunne’s sack warning. “Your job is trying to get subscribers, to listen to you, to buy your papers, whatever you write, whatever you need to get subscribers. And we need to respect your opinions.
He said: "I just think it's the nature of the beast. If he doesn't win games, there always going to be looking for people elsewhere to come in. I don't think his start has been impressive in terms of how he's handled them.
