That's the sad reality as far as hamstrings are concerned. We will have them assessed but you have to fear the worst.

They have just gone out of Europe so I am convinced they will want to try and win this competition, that's for sure. Whatever team they put out, when Man United come to town, it is going to be a tough, tough game but one that we will relish and we will look forward to the challenge.

Clemence will not play again this season. He has torn his hamstring and you are looking at 28 days out of action with such an injury which basically takes you up to the end of the season.

Ultimately it will be Kenny's decision. We'll review the situation at Christmas. He has been a fantastic servant for us and Ireland and he is good enough to carry on after this season.

The reality is that for small violations of these temperatures, the products are fine but get thrown away anyway.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
