IRELAND WILL LINE out for their final Euro 2012 match tonight, taking on Italy in the final game in Group C.

The match will have no bearing for the Boys In Green, who have already been effectively eliminated from the tournament after their defeat to Spain last week.

But Giovanni Trapattoni has said the team will be playing “for honour” against his native country - and more is at stake for Italy, who could miss out on qualification if they don’t get a win tonight.

Many fans have been bitterly disappointed by Ireland’s performances, and Trapattoni has faced criticism over his tactics. But there have been calls from many quarters for Irish supporters to keep up the atmosphere ahead of tonight’s game.

So what do you think? Will you bother watching the Ireland match tonight?
