Coleman in Irish U21 squad

[happydays97]

Just been into town there and was chatting to a fella who said he heard that Seamie has got the shout for the friendly in Sweeden next week???

Anyone hear anything about this??? Delighted for him if he has. Totally deserved.

[sligoman]

This is the original U-21 squad named for Sweden:

Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad v Sweden (Uppsala, October 12th)

Darren Randolph (Charlton Athletic)
Shane Supple (Ipswich Town)
Keith Keane (Luton Town)
Darren Dennehy (Everton)
Darren O’Dea (Celtic)
Eddie Nolan (Blackburn Rovers)
Michael Spillane (Norwich City)
Stephen O’Halloran (Aston Villa)
Stephen Quinn (Sheffield United)
Patrick Cregg (Falkirk)
Owen Garvan (Ipswich Town)
Darron Gibson (Manchester United)
Alan Power (Nottingham Forest)
Alan Sheehan (Leicester City)
Billy Clarke (Ipswich Town)
Anthony Stokes (Sunderland)
Jim O’Brien (Celtic)
Keith Treacy (Blackburn Rovers)

So unless he's been called in to replace one of them then it's not true.

who was the fella?

[DRDoc]

Sligo will be looking to have their game that night postponed if he has been?

Unless of course he gets an additional ban for his recent red card

If he has been called up he won't be in that squad as Givens said no eL players would be in that one. He'd be replacing one of these (defenders) for the game against England on Tuesday if picked:

Darren Randoph (Charlton Athletic)
Darren Quigley (UCD)
Stephen O’Halloran (Aston Villa)
Conor Powell (Bohemians)
Darren Dennehy (Everton)
Eddie Nolan (Blackburn Rovers)
Richard Keogh (Huddersfield Town – on loan from Bristol City)
Darren O’Dea (Celtic)
Darron Gibson (Manchester United)
Stephen Quinn (Sheffield United)
Owen Garvan (Ipswich Town)
Shane McFaul (UCD)
Michael Collins (Huddersfield Town)
Patrick Cregg (Falkirk)
Billy Clarke (Ipswich Town)
Adam Rooney (Chesterfield)
Anthony Stokes (Sunderland)
Jim O’Brien (Celtic)

powell on it instead of coleman, again, the dubland teams get the favouritism

[pineapple stu]

Dubland teams/better players. Tomato/tomato.

[feo123]

Dubland teams/better players. Tomato/tomato.

seamus coleman is better than conor powell, end of. if you can't see that you shouldnt be watching football

[pineapple stu]

Wow. Great argument there. :rolleyes:

Seriously, there's no bias. If he's good enough, he'll get in. End of story.

[Rovers fan]

bit of a joke that coleman didnt make it ahead of powell. sure didnt fran gavin say that coleman is one of the best players in the league, yet powell gets on ahead of him!

[sligoman]

If he's good enough, he'll get in. End of story.Not true. Givens is an idiot that doesn't know the EL, just like Stan.

[pineapple stu]

He's correct in calling up McFaul and Quigley (though granted Sammon is a bit of a mystery), but he's clearly watching the league. Coleman just mustn't have done well in matches against the Dublin teams.

[showgies]

Seamie has been called up for the Sweden game alright.......Congrats Mr Coleman

[Midlandsred]

where did ya hear that?

[showgies]

where did ya hear that?

A trustworthy source :)

[life long red]

[sligo23]

well done shamie
you deserve it
great job all season

[sligo23]

now that shamie has made the irish squad
we can stop sining 'shamie for ireland'
and start singing:
'Fahrudin Kudozovic for Bosnia and Herzegovina'

[feo123]

delighted for him. bought him a cup of tea at half time tonight, i'll never wash my hand now

[feo123]

yeah 100%. games next friday in sweden i think. he said he cant wait

[DonalE]

delighted for him. bought him a cup of tea at half time tonight, i'll never wash my hand now

Milk and no sugar, the only way. Shame the tea wasn't great, not good enough for Seamie Coleman anyways but alright for me.

Have to get the Irish jersey now, Coleman 2 on the back :D

[happydays97]

Why is there nothing on the website about this????

[Only1Rovers]

Seamie is going to Sweden. Will miss a game for Rovers

Was announced on Ocean

[Da Real Rover]

Im delighted for the lad, nobody deserves it more than him for his 100% commitment in every game.

[feo123]

was he not suspended for the pats game anyway?

[DmanDmythDledge]

No word of from the FAI of his inclusion or anyone else pulling out. If the club have been told by the FAI why haven't they put it on the website?

[Rory H]

maybe the FAI want to say it first.....

[feo123]

he's too good to be mentioned on the same page as the rest of the squad you see

[DRDoc]

still no word on this any where else?

is he in the squad?

[Rovers1]

yes he is...he told us himself in Drogheda

[red bellied]

[Boo_Boy]

[sligoman]

I presume so as it's the same squad, unless he get's injured.

[Rovers fan]

he is on the bench for the game against sweeden

[Boo_Boy]

Ireland won 3 - 2

seamie came on in the 58th minute,dont know how he done but knowing seamie he was the star;):D

[DmanDmythDledge]

Different squad, he's not in it.

[Rory H]

Ireland manager singled him out for praise when he was talking about the newer players. said he hadnt seen him play but one of his staff did so thats why he was called up and that he accquited himself very well. not a suprise but good to hear!

Checked FAI website but Givens doesn't mention him in his interview there. Not doubting it, just wanna look at it.

[Rory H]

The Star. I know you'd never doubt me sligoman;)

[clubman]

I notice the game against England is on Sky Sports 1 on Tuesday night from Turners Croos. Is Shamie in the squad for this one?
