Fancy yourself as a football pundit? Three want you for the Kazakhstan game

Reckon you know who the next Ireland boss should be, and fancy talking it over with Ger Gilroy and Kevin Kilbane at Aviva Stadium next Tuesday? Then step this way.

It has been a traumatic few months for Irish football fans with our hopes of going to Brazil 2014 dashed beyond repair, and now we are the hunt for a new manager too. The list of candidates is lengthy, from the ridiculous to the sublime, and who is to step into Giovanni Trapattoni’s fine Italian loafers is the big question in Irish football right now. So, we want you to pick who you fancy from this shortlist of 10, and give us a few reasons why in the box provided. The person who does the best job of convincing us their man should get the job wins and gets to play the role of 'Armchair Manager' in the pre-match Dugout show with host Ger Gilroy, ex-Irish international Kevin Kilbane and runner David Gillick before the Kazakhstan match on October 15. Yes, you will be asked in front of a crowd of Irish fans to back up your opinion if you win, so make sure it is a solid one. As well as getting a chance to pretend you’re Eamon Dunphy for the day, the prize also includes some pretty sweet tickets to the game, an Ireland jersey and access to the Player’s Lounge after the game. So, get cracking and we will contact the lucky winner on Friday. This competition is with thanks to Three, primary sponsor of the Irish football team. Winners must be at least 18 years old. Winners must be able to attend Aviva Stadium at least 2 hours before kick off on Oct 15th 2013. Prize is non-transferable. Winners will be announced on Friday, October 11^th 2013.
