Stan Collymore is way too old to start training with us. Anyway, he's got 3 caps for England.

The FAI have now confirmed that the squad will train at their usual base in Malahide from May 16th to 21st, to prepare for those friendly games on May 25th (Paraguay) and 28th (Algeria).

I would like to see as many new faces as possible. Players like Coleman, Duffy, McCarthy, Meyler, Wilson, Cunningham are a must for this squad. Would like to see a few granny rule players too if possible.

If it is a rookie only squad i woula like to take the following:
B Murphhy
Westwodd

Foley
Ward
Coleman
Duffy
C Powell
Fahey
Cunningham
O'Dea
S Quinn
Sheridan
Tracey
Garvin
Wilson
Tabb
Mc Carthy
Meyler
Yeates
Walters
Best
Cox
A Rooney
If possible Darren Ambrose

The majority of the training camp will in my opinion be mostly the squad of players who played in the world cup qualifiers, minus some of the senior players.

I think Tapp has already stated that he will go into the Euro Champs with the squad from the World Cup campaign, as they all know his system, and follow his "Leeetle" Details.

if that was the case (and I don't believe it is) why were Cunningham and McCarthy brought into the squad for the Brazil game?

I think he means that it won't be an Irish B squad or development panel.
It's more likely to exclude maybe Kilbane, Dunne, Duff and Keane, but include everyone else who usually makes the squad with 4 players normally outside the squad replacing 4 of the more experienced players that may be excused. That could open the door for Cunningham, Duffy, McCarthy and Meyler.
Whereas the likes of Garvan, Cox, Treacy, Ward, Quinn etc. won't be included.

''The manager will not be using the training camp to prepare for the friendly games per se.

Instead, he will use the five days to run the rule over some 20 players, mainly comprising fringe squad members and new faces, before the more familiar first team squad assembles in the immediate run-up to the Paraguay match on May 25. The game against Algeria follows three days later.''

I would prefer to see some experimenting, but the fact that you have put Liam Mackey's words in bold from the Cork examiner saying that FAI sources have told him the above doesn't really prove anything.

McCarthy will definitely start for us in the next Euro campaign.

I wouldn't be so sure that he will start the first few games but he has every chance of making a few competitive sub apperances and then playing himself into the starting 11 at the expence of Andrews.

I'm beginning to feel very positive about our upcoming campaign. It's been a while since we've had such a good young batch of players coming into the senior squad. We're 4/1 to win the Euro 2012 group

Coleman, Cunningham, Duffy, Meyler, McCarthy, and Wilson have all made huge progress in the last six months but haven't been in a competitive squad. Even better is the fact that they fill the full back and centre midfield positions where we are weakest.

He already called up 3 right backs in that squad (Kelly, McShane, Foley) and has O'Shea and St.Ledger who can play there from the senior squad. Why on earth would he call up yet another right back in Coleman?

eh because this would be a great chance to see him in action within an ireland squad and it is really a get together to have a look at some new faces. IMO coleman is better than all 3 anyway, going to be a star.

Murfinator

26/04/2010, 12:54 PM

Right well despite his vast experience of a combined 11 premiership and championship appearances I don't think he quite fits the bill of players ready to be thrown into a grueling european championship qualifier cauldron. =P

We have 5 more experienced right backs and with the exception of McShane probably more talented. We simply don't need him at the current time, it's unfortunate for him that he's playing in a position we're so well covered for. I think if he was a left back he would be in this squad.

Because he might be better than the rest? Its a training squad, there are no limits to the number of players for each position. Even then Foley plays regularly at right midfield and he already knows what the rest can do.

The play offs seem the likely reason.

Murfinator

26/04/2010, 1:06 PM

I don't think so, I just don't think there's any likely use for Coleman in the squad for the foreseeable future. It's not a summer camp where you call up anyone and everyone whos halfway decent just for a bit of craic. Trap's planning his squad for the next campaign, hes looking at newcomers and fringe players who can challenge for a team place and putting them through their paces. He's already going to be trying out a new right back in Foley in this camp as well as giving much needed game time to fringe players Kelly and McShane there. There's no room for another and I don't see a situation in the next two years where we'll have that many injuries at right back where we'd need to use him.

Colemans one for the future but he has a lot to prove at the top level before I think you can reasonably expect him to leapfrog the likes of Kelly, McShane etc.

I'm also a bit surprised by Coleman's omission. Isn't he showing fantastic promise on loan at Blackpool? We're all well aware of McShane's limitations by this point. He could have taken his slot.

RT�'s article on the squad (http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2010/0426/ireland.html) refers to eight uncapped players being called up, but they forget to mention the uncapped Keith Treacy in the story, despite him appearing in the squad list at the bottom. I think they somehow confused him with Kevin Foley, who has a cap, despite RT� stating otherwise.

26/04/2010, 2:43 PM

Why did he call Greg Cunningham up for the Brazil friendly and then not include him in the training camp? Is he injured? You'd think this would be the best time to see new left-backs in action? Well at least he included Ward :P
definitely not injured, he played against Man United in the Manchester Senior Cup last thursday: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Match-reports/2010/April/Man-Utd-Res-v-City-Res

Likewise. Maybe Brian Murphy will get a chance too in Given's absence now, although I imagine Westwood is first-choice replacement. Would Brian Murphy be ahead of Joe Murphy in the pecking order?

Is O'Dea seeing much first-team action at Celtic recently? What's the verdict on him anyway? Still hopes of blossoming into a solid international footballer? He'd probably be best to get out of there given the current state they're in. Would a Premier League side give him a chance?

In other unrelated news,

The Football Association of Ireland have announced that Don Givens will step down as under 21 international manager after almost ten years in the role.

He will take up a new position overseeing the FAI's UK based scouting network, continuing to work closely with the underage and senior international set up through High Performance Director, Wim Koevermans and senior manager, Giovanni Trapattoni.
