Like that scene from every cartoon you've ever watched when someone bashes a janitor over the head, steals his clothes and uses them to sneak into an abandoned funfair, ticketless Republic of Ireland fan Conor Cunningham somehow managed to make his way onto the Estonia subs bench to watch the Euro 2012 play-off first-leg using nothing more than a tracksuit, a half-inched sack of footballs and fair old pair of cajones.

This is episode 2 in our series as excitement builds ahead of the playoff clash with Estonia. On this epsiode, two dedicated Irish supporters join us to give their views.
We have John from YBIG.ie, a Raheny man looking forward to jetting off to Tallinn.

Irish boss Giovanni Trapattoni says winger Aiden McGeady is "100 per cent" and ready to play in the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Slovakia and Russia. The Spartak midfielder played three minutes of the Moscow derby on Sunday after missing much of the summer with an ankle injury sustained on June 10th, but met up with the Ireland squad at the first opportunity this morning and trained in Malahide.

Young Arsenal striker Rhys Murphy, who has recently declared for Ireland, is attracting strong interest from Glasgow Rangers.
Murphy, 20, has already been training with the Ibrox club and recently played in a trial game against Hamilton.
West Sussex-born Murphy, whose grandfather hails from Dublin has declared for Ireland, with sources saying the processing of his application by the FAI is well advanced.

Liverpool Football Club has struck a two-year co-operation agreement with League of Ireland club Bray Wanderers and St Joseph's Boys.
The link up was announced prior to the reserves' clash with Bray this week.
Coaches from Liverpool will visit both clubs in Ireland to deliver training sessions and boost the development of young Irish talent.

Kenny Dalglish wants Liverpool to go back to their roots.
Dalglish, who watched his young charges take on Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds last night, was speaking after announcing a link- up with the Seagulls and St Joseph's Boys.
The Reds manager is a close friend of Bray boss Pat Devlin and they had a similar arrangement when he was at Newcastle United.

Blackpool scouts will be in Dundalk this evening to watch Ireland u21 international Daniel Kearns in the Airtricity Premier Division clash between Dundalk & Galway United.
Belfast born Kearns has emerged as a Seasiders target and are considering making a bid for the 19-year-old winger who has caught the eye of Ian Holloway after a string of quality performances for Dundalk.

On this, the most greenest of days of the year for Ireland, it is important to remember that those just across the way from Liverpool have had a memorable impact on the club's fabled lifetime.

Hello,

here we are then. Yep. It's the Interlull. A few games took place last night. All our Irish players will be on their way back having played last night ... erm ... yeah. If we were a team made up of Peruvian, Panamaniacs, Romanians, Ukrainians, Cypriots and Swedes then all of our players would be coming back today.

Now we are well in to the second-half of the 2010/2011 season, who are this terms top performers racking up the points in various fantasy leagues, and putting themselves in the running for the EPL team of the year. Maybe surprisingly, as the debate rages about the influx of foreign players in to the EPL, many homegrown British and Irish players are proving that if you are good enough, you can still claim a place in the top English sides.
