Sir Bobby to discuss position as Ireland football consultant
Sir Bobby Robson is to consider his future with Republic of Ireland at the end of the current Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.
Robson has been Ireland's football consultant since January 2006 but he has missed a number of games as he has undergone treatment for cancer.
He travelled to Croke Park on Saturday to see Ireland's goalless draw with Germany, and will also take in the game with Cyprus on Wednesday.
Robson then plans to watch Ireland's last Group D match against Wales on 17th November before sitting down with manager Steve Staunton and Football Association of Ireland chief executive John Delaney.
He is not under doctor's orders to quit, but accepts that he must discuss whether to stay in post.
"I'm fighting, which is as good as I can say," said the 74-year-old. "I'm fine, doing as well as I can, making progress, but delighted to come over for these two matches.
"I've been on chemotherapy, so that dragged me down a little bit, and I have to think about the future.
"I'm here to see the campaign out. It was important I should come and I'm looking forward to Wednesday, and I shall certainly take in the Wales match.
"Then I will overlook it. I've not been told to stop. But it's something I must discuss with Stan (Staunton) and John Delaney, and see what's in store for me."
