He should not be in the Ireland squad! O'Malley or Slingermann are better than him .... and way younger!

O'Malley hasn't even overtaken Clarke as the no.1 for Pat's yet. Clarke still starts most of the league games!

If it's too early to make a judgement on Supple after 10 odd games, it's definitely too early to make on a call on O'Malley.

O'Malley is number one. He's just been injured most of the season.

Suspect Swinford has a bit of a regional bias in picking the the 2 Mayo men

O'Malley is growing into a
Good goalkeeper but it looks like his performance on TV against rovers recently has elevated him to being a top class goalkeeper in some people's eyes. I saw O'Malley play for Rovers B and while he had no protection at all in front of him he always looked Shakey (again probably down to the lack of protection in front of him so maybe a bad example) but he also made a howler or two in his early days playing for Pats. He's clearly growing in confidence the more and more he plays but for him to be considered the best in the league is just silly talk. No doubt he can go on to become it but he's not there yet.

He was 19 playing for Rovers B. His performances then aren't really relevant to now

But they're not completely irrelevant either. It's proves he's capable of making howlers. Just because he was young doesn't mean his performances can be excused, even if he has improved since then.
AC Milan had a 16 yr old in goal for most of last season and he's been flawless.

Hold on...

..did you just make a comparison between someone playing for AC Milan in Serie A and Shamrock Rovers B in the League of Ireland First Divison?

I'm not comparing their ability.

My point is that you cannot ignore what happened in a players career because he was a few yrs younger then. I'm not saying you need to dwell on it either, but just recognise that if he's made howlers in the past there's more chance he can still make them in the future.

He's not in the squad now for next 2 games and another Rogers Danny who I never heard of is in instead of him.

Every goalkeeper makes mistakes.

Can't believe MON snubbed Shane Supple again.

I completely agree, but some make less than others.

If Conor O'Malley wasn't making any mistakes, he wouldn't be at St Pat's. Nor would he be in the League of Ireland.

If he wasn't making any mistakes he'd be the best goalie in the world.

For me Supple is well ahead of O Malley. Is that Connor Gleeson from Galway(Dunmore) who has been sub for Shamrock R recently?

Of course you can. Not just for keepers but players should be judged on what they do now

As has been stated loads of time, there's very little between most of the keepers in the premier division

I'll swop you Winn and Ramsbottom for Clarke and O'Malley for a month and see do you still feel the same

At last it appears sense has prevailed - Ian Lawlor brought in from 21's to senior team squad - Lawlor not eligible for next 21's campaign so good for him to join the senior set up. Liam Bossin is eligible for next 21 campaign - Drogheda Utd's Stephen McGuinness called up to 21 squad.
