Striker Keane to put on a show
Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane is determined his side "put on a good show" as they prepare to make an emotional farewell to Lansdowne Road.
The antiquated, dilapidated Dublin stadium stages its last football international on Wednesday night before it is demolished and a new 260million, 50,000-seat venue is erected in its place. The unglamorous San Marino are the visitors for a Euro 2008 qualifier, although it is hoped a few goals will be scored to at least give the ground a fitting send-off.
"This game means a lot," said Ireland's all-time leading scorer Keane. "It wasn't that long ago I was watching the team and dreaming that one day I'd play at Lansdowne Road. So to play in what will be the last game for a couple of years will be very emotional for everybody, not just the players, but also the supporters. Hopefully we can put on a good show."
