[Billy-Green]

Is it just me or does anyone else feel we have a bigger/better selection in the championship

[seanfhear]

Has Ireland ever had as many players in the premier league and championship in our history(life was simpler when it was plain old 1st and 2nd divisions)

[third policeman]

Totally agree. Looking at players who are in the squad / team versus those not in it

Would much prefer Foley and St Ledger over McShane (CB) or McShane (FB)

Garvan, O'Toole, McCann, Tabb over Miller, Whelan, Andrews, Gibson

N.Hunt, Morrison, Walters over Murphy, Folan, Stokes.

Might be a stupid question but is the Southampton McGoldrick any relation to Irish "legend" Eddie. he looks kile a class player

[Rambling Along]

Don't forget Stephen McPhail and Mark Kennedy at Cardiff!

also known as? i think you meant "a la"............ :rolleyes: ;)

[Manc Irish Wolf]

Great Thread.

Foley and Ward over Kelly and Delaney for me. However shows how much good up and coming talent we have emerging.

Personal team for the future would be:

Westwood

Foley St Ledger McCann Ward

Scannell O'Toole Garvan Hunt

Doyle Keogh

Subs: Bruce, Tabb, N Hunt, Long & Walters

my mistake - don't know why I put aka?!

[cheifo]

Chris McCann seems to be scoring either 8 or 9 in Burnley fans ratings every game.They are raving about him.

[The Sheliban]

Wes Hoolihan at Norwich, though he might have fallen foul of Roeder.

Heard a bit about him recently - he scored at the weekend as well!

The pool of talent we have in the championship is almost like an embarasment of riches - sort of

Riches?

[irishfan86]

I'd call it more a healthy pool of potential.

We have players who are impressing at this level, and I'm optimistic a few of them can break through and help the national team in the future, but progress will be necessary.

We see teams time and time again break through to the top flight and struggle with a team that dominated at the level below.

Obviously Hull are pulling a Reading and are right in amongst them, but the cynics among us are waiting for reality to sink in.

Neither Hunt brother?
No def not
