Does anybody know the Location and date for summer training camp ?
Why do the FAI always leave these things to the last minute.

Does anybody know the Location and date for summer training camp ?

how do you know it's being left to the last minute? It just hasn't been announced to the public.
Maybe he's waiting to hear if he's being called up by Trap.
Would it cause any aggro if we held it in Northern Ireland ? ? ?
Dublin
A carpark somewhere.
The FAI have now confirmed that the squad will train at their usual base in Malahide from May 16th to 21st, to prepare for those friendly games on May 25th (Paraguay) and 28th (Algeria).

If it is a rookie only squad i woula like to take the following:
B Murphhy
Westwodd
Foley
Ward
Coleman
Duffy
C Powell
Fahey
Cunningham
O'Dea
S Quinn
Sheridan
Tracey
Garvin
Wilson
Tabb
Mc Carthy
Meyler
Yeates
Walters
Best
Cox
A Rooney
If possible Darren Ambrose
The majority of the training camp will in my opinion be mostly the squad of players who played in the world cup qualifiers, minus some of the senior players.
I think Tapp has already stated that he will go into the Euro Champs with the squad from the World Cup campaign, as they all know his system, and follow his "Leeetle" Details.
I think he means that it won't be an Irish B squad or development panel.
It's more likely to exclude maybe Kilbane, Dunne, Duff and Keane, but include everyone else who usually makes the squad with 4 players normally outside the squad replacing 4 of the more experienced players that may be excused. That could open the door for Cunningham, Duffy, McCarthy and Meyler.
Whereas the likes of Garvan, Cox, Treacy, Ward, Quinn etc. won't be included.
''The manager will not be using the training camp to prepare for the friendly games per se.
Instead, he will use the five days to run the rule over some 20 players, mainly comprising fringe squad members and new faces, before the more familiar first team squad assembles in the immediate run-up to the Paraguay match on May 25. The game against Algeria follows three days later.''

Unsuprisingly Brian Murphy has been named in the squad

McCarthy will definitely start for us in the next Euro campaign.
I'm beginning to feel very positive about our upcoming campaign. It's been a while since we've had such a good young batch of players coming into the senior squad. We're 4/1 to win the Euro 2012 group
Coleman, Cunningham, Duffy, Meyler, McCarthy, and Wilson have all made huge progress in the last six months but haven't been in a competitive squad. Even better is the fact that they fill the full back and centre midfield positions where we are weakest.
Whos Paul Green?

Paul Green, never heard of him before. Seems to have played plenty of games for his club this season
Bit of info on how he qualifies
http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/sp...l/article.html
Paul Green info: Born in Pontefract West Yorkshire on 10th April 1983 (now 27). Was a trainee at Doncaster Rovers and then made breakthrough to senior team.Now with Derby county.Right sided midfielder.
So Paul Green of 17th placed Championship side Derby is the only one the FAI scouts could get on the granny rule? Not even Simon Cox......
disappointed that seamus coleman didnt make it. should have been included.
He already called up 3 right backs in that squad (Kelly, McShane, Foley) and has O'Shea and St.Ledger who can play there from the senior squad. Why on earth would he call up yet another right back in Coleman?
Right well despite his vast experience of a combined 11 premiership and championship appearances I don't think he quite fits the bill of players ready to be thrown into a grueling european championship qualifier cauldron. =P
We have 5 more experienced right backs and with the exception of McShane probably more talented. We simply don't need him at the current time, it's unfortunate for him that he's playing in a position we're so well covered for. I think if he was a left back he would be in this squad.
I don't think so, I just don't think there's any likely use for Coleman in the squad for the foreseeable future. It's not a summer camp where you call up anyone and everyone whos halfway decent just for a bit of craic. Trap's planning his squad for the next campaign, hes looking at newcomers and fringe players who can challenge for a team place and putting them through their paces. He's already going to be trying out a new right back in Foley in this camp as well as giving much needed game time to fringe players Kelly and McShane there. There's no room for another and I don't see a situation in the next two years where we'll have that many injuries at right back where we'd need to use him.
Colemans one for the future but he has a lot to prove at the top level before I think you can reasonably expect him to leapfrog the likes of Kelly, McShane etc.
Why did he call Greg Cunningham up for the Brazil friendly and then not include him in the training camp? Is he injured? You'd think this would be the best time to see new left-backs in action? Well at least he included Ward :P
