In the event of penalties, who should be Ireland’s five takers? Have your say…

Not to tempt fate

Conan Doherty

Where’s Packie when you need him?

Listen, penalties are not an option. Ireland’s Euro 2016 fate is in our own hands. Let’s just go and do the job over 90 minutes.

But what if… just in case… we need to be ready.

Thankfully, with Walters and Long and Keane not featuring in Bosnia, we didn’t get an opportunity from the spot but a 1-1 draw at the Aviva for the return leg, a stalemate extra time, and Martin O’Neill could be scribbling five names on a piece of paper as his last act of this qualifying campaign.

So who would your five takers be?

A solid start

1

Two lefties?

2

Deploy Robbie for penos

3

4

The most logical solution of all

5

Blasphemy

6

Love

Compromise

7

Reckless

8

Dreamers

9

And not one mention of Gary Breen.

If it happened though, who would you select (granted they were on the field after 120 minutes).
