The Irish News of the World has ‘New Italian job for Trap,’ which is a slightly misleading headline. It reveals that several Italian clubs have asked Giovanni Trapattoni his opinion on Irish players. He’s recommended Sean St Ledger and Kevin Doyle in particular. It also has ‘Robbie deal on,’ in which Keane is still linked to Aston Villa, and ‘Crouch is Pool target,’ in which Peter Crouch is alleged to be a target for Roy Hodgson’s Liverpool.
In The Irish Mail on Sunday they have ‘Cork will pay for Cusack’s jibes, warns Carter,’ in which Charlie Carter and Kilkenny have suddenly got offended by Cusack’s comparing of Kilkenny with the Stepford wives in his autobiography that came out in October 2009. Eddie Keher has also been critical of the book which he hasn’t read.
The Sunday World has ‘Hill 16 fans get caged,’ which reveals that the fence in front of the famous hill is to be raised to nine feet to prevent pitch invasions. The paper also runs with, ‘Hogan’s a doubt’ which reveals that Kilkenny centre-back Brian Hogan might miss the Cats semi-final clashes with Cork.
