Huh? He think the other strikers are better. what more do you need?
I want him to be asked the question and hear his response, that's what I need.

[QUOTE=Ezeikial;1502756]There are few positives for LoI clubs in this farce.
... for some players (Danny Kearns for example) it could raise the interest level from cross-channel clubs.
So losing another of our better players to a foreign league is good for the LOI? (Although, of course I agree it's a farce).

You need the manager of a selection to tell you that he believes he's picked the strongest side possible?
Its clear he picked what he thinks are the best players. That you and I disagree is immaterial to his beliefs.

Once there is a significant fee involved - yes. The clubs need income and a six figure fee is good for any club who receives it.

I think it would be fun to hear Richardson pontificate about why he has not included Quigley.
In particular I would love to hear him articulate why he believes that Sheppard brings more to his game plan, or why he has opted for only 5 strikers.
Best news of all for me is that Quigley is booking a family holiday for that period and will not now be available for any call up.
Richardson is fun to listen to when he is spoofing and pretending that he knows best.

Mark Quigley says he is off on holidays and would not accept a late call up
http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/quigley-will-not-accept-late-call-2809613.html
Thats good news - if only Jason Byrne, Colin Hawkins, and Dean Bennett would cry off I'd be happier still.

Richardson was in Bray on Tuesday so he could see first hand what his squad will be missing

Quigley's first and the the last goal from Keith Ward should be MNS goal of the month contenders. A small flash here also of Mark Griffin's goalscoring as he gets his 6th goal in 8 league starts. Liam Burns and Aidan Price should be having nightmares about this guy come Friday night.

Great slide rule pass from Ward to put Quigley through for the first. Ward has great quality on the ball.

Ticketmaster is only showing a few sections still having tickets available. Surely that's not right?
Perhaps they only have access toa select few sectiosn. Celtic and man city have been selling their allocation

From a Bray perspective, the relaxed sauntering back of the Bray No. 8 (?) as Quigley was galloping on goal was disgraceful.

Best travelling support on the planet. It's official. 80,000 travelling fans and zero arrests. Dublin will roll out the red carpet. Bitter LOI fans are not representative of the wider Dublin public.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has suggested that Celtic Park is fit to host the final of a major tournament.
Blatter was in Glasgow to present the club's fans with the Fifa Fair Play Award for 2003.
Celtic's fans received the award for their behaviour before and during last season's Uefa Cup final, when their side lost to Porto.

The bold Sepp doesn't give out the award, he's there to award it as the FIFA President, he didn't decide gets the award. Seville was an amazing experience for anybody who went. 80,000 people in a hot day with people drinking all day and not a hint of trouble and not one arrest anywhere in the city. We apparently blew the UEFA and FIFA delegates away. I watched the game back and the BBC commentator said he had never seen a support like it. I suppose how could he, what other club in the world has ever brought 80,000 fans on such a distance to a European final before?
No doubt we'll do the club proud in Dublin as well. Folk should welcome the coming of the Celtic support. If ever a support comes in peace to Ireland it's the Celtic support :)
Gotta say I've taken more abuse and heard more sectarian bile from Celtic fans than from fans of every LOI club put together. Usually for the heinous crime of wearing a blue and white shirt. Never mind that it clearly wasn't a Rangers shirt.. doesn't seem to matter.

Because I lived in Glasgow for seven years and never seen anybody get any hassle for wearing a blue top. It's pure made up BS. Celtic fans do not go around abusing people who wear a blue top. They all wear blue tops themselves. It's actually laughable that claim.
Presumably Mr A doesn't live in Glasgow.

Actually I used to get it a lot too. Growing up playing football in big patriotic areas wearing a blue and white shirt was frowned upon and used to get absolute daggers of looks from people before they realised it wasn't a rangers shirt.
Celtic fans in my experience in Ireland, maybe not in Glasgow, but most definitely in Ireland are some of the most racist, abusive folk about at times.

They're surely not all Celtic fans though, in fairness. Anyone walking around the city centre in Derry wearing a Rangers or a NI jersey would get odd looks, and it wouldn't just be from Celtic fans. I'd probably look twice if I saw it myself, it'd just be so unusually brave or provocative, depending on whichever way one wished to view it.

I'd sooner walk around Derry in a Rangers jersey half the time than in most areas in Donegal.

Wearing blue tops do not have the same connotations as it does in Glasgow and yet I've never in my life seen it happen in Glasgow, yet you claim it happens in Ireland where Dublin and countless other GAA teams wear blue without any issues.

Theres a slight bit of difference in a Dublin GAA jersey as well you know. An old Harps jersey I wore had a striking resemblance to a rangers jersey.
