With both the manager and his assistant Roy Keane having their contracts up after this campaign some had speculated that a poor finish would result in the FAI looking elsewhere, but speaking to FAI TV ahead of the Moldova game O'Neill confirmed that both will be continuing in their roles.

That said, two wins against Moldova and Wales would go some way to repairing that damage, although the timing of the contract extension is a bit strange, as most would have expected this decision to be made after we know where we finished in the group.
