Given the current crisis that Stan is facing between the posts, Givens and Kenny not available, who would you consider from the eircom League to fill the position.
We know it wont happen, as the eL is always snubbed in this situation, but if there was to be a serious replacemnt from the league ..... who would it be?
Stan will go to the lower divisions over the eL, i reckon he'd go to conference level first to be honest, but that would be his mistake to make.
Thoughts ??
Darren Quigley, B and U-21 International. Although Randolph is ahead of him in the pecking order.
Quigley for me aswell, I think we all know that Henderson will go in goal.
I bet someone like Colgan is next in line after Hendo.
The 3 keepers named for the SWAI award were Forde, Ryan and Devine. So probably one of them. I'm biased but can't see anybody better than Ryan
They'd be my top 3 too, but I'd have Devine first choice. I wonder if Forde now has a better chance given that he's playing in the English leagues!Quote:

Barry Ryan , Michael Devine and Darren Quigley are the best in the League and were last season in spite of the choice of the soccer writers.
The best on form would have been Michael Devine and Darren Quigley. But any of the three of them would be worthy of a call up. Better first team football in Ireland than reserve team football cross-channel .
:ball:Barry Murphy:ball:
john o'hara imo..
one of the best keepers i've seen play
Im biased but Devine IMO. His european experience would stand to him I think. He was excellent in europe for the past 3 years
I think Ryan would do the job too. Both would be well ahead of Colgan and imo ahead of Henderson in quality too.
Play a keeper who hasnt played a competitve match in 2 months, wow thats a great idea.

These threads always end up the same with everyone favouring their own goalie
no..i honestly believe that john could do the job..
devine as well..
barry ryan.. dont make me laugh
Didn't seem to bother Jason Byrne too much last week. I could buy the argument about lack of match-sharpness for outfield players, but I'm not sure it applies as much to keepers.Quote:

So what will he choose.. A keeper who is better but is 2nd choice and lack of first team playing or the 2nd keeper on his list.. who gets regular matches?
When's the San Marino squad get announced anyway? And is it confirmed that Given and Kenny are both going to be missing?
I'd say call-ups for Henderson (to start; did alright against the Czechs in fairness), Colgan and Randolph.
Quigley would be the logical choice imo.
How has Randolph exploded onto the scene? He only has Conference experience from a season on loan at Accrington & Stanley? He seems to have overtaken Quigley at U-21 and B level for no real reason.:confused:
