What have they said?

Republic boss Mick McCarthy: "I want to play football, I do, but I'm pragmatic as well. I’ve got eight games to get us qualified for a major competition. I think it’s important that we get results. I haven’t been sacked yet when I’ve been winning games and top of the league, no matter how we have been playing."

Gibraltar boss Julio Cesar Ribas: "It’s absolutely amazing to play at home - this is where we live and play, it’s where the players grew up and this is the air that we breathe. It’s very important that we play here, not only to develop as an international team but also to connect emotionally with the people."
