Super International Keeper

Bohemians’ super-keeper Brian Murphy will end his time with Bohemians on a new high. He was today (Friday 6th November) called into the Ireland squad for the two World Cup qualifiers against France following the withdrawal of Coventry City’s Keiren Westwood.


Brian Murphy goes into his last game with Bohemians tonight against Bray Wanderers with a remarkable goalkeeping record: 63 clean sheets in 96 games. The 26-year-old will leave Bohemians after the season, joining Roy Keane’s English Championship side Ipswich Town in January. Brian Murphy has previously been capped for Ireland at under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels.

Fair play to him, great to see.

Delighted for him, brilliant news. Now all we need is for one of our gank midfielders to get injured so Fahey can get a call up

Great experience for him, hopefully he won't have to play though, no offence to him. At least he's in the picture for the future anyway.

Its about time if you ask me, Great keeper! if joe murphy was at Bohs i honestly think he would be second choice! Best of luck!

Brilliant. Raises the profile even if he doesnt get within an donkey's roar of the bench.

Well done to him.

Wonderful news. Congratulations to the player.

Great for him.

Great news on a day of bad news.

Fair play to the lad. Great achievement.

Well with Paddy 'The Chemist' Kenny otherwise engaged next weekend Trap didn't have too many other options...can't really think of any other Irish keepers playing at a decent level in England so whilst great for Murphy I think its based as much on performance as on limited selection options...!!!

Fair play to Keano...he keeps signing the Irish boys. Thats why the no's on the live register are going down...

Congratulations to the lad delighted for him.

Great for him. Suppose he is ahead of Graham Stack (Hibs) which is progress. Fully deserved. Amazing what a proposed move across the water does for an international career :D

Great to see an Eircom league player on the squad. He deserves a chance.

True, but even seeing players called up before moving rather than when they step of the plane is progress of a sort.

Could see him going straight into the Ipswich team because that Wright lad has been doing pish recently.

Lets hope it doesn't go to penos or he might have to nut Thierry Henry ;)

Couldn't have called him up BEFORE he signed for a foreign club?

No, I suppose not, (hope you can feel the fuming anger under these words)


Pleased for Boh's Keeper mind; just that it's so long overdue

That lad Wright has been **** since he signed for Arsenal in 1998...why Supple legged it is beyond me...

Well done to him. I'm sure he'll be training with a point to prove.
