I might be going mad, but I don't see Ireland's name listed in a squad of 29 on FAI website.

Interesting comparison between Stephen Ireland and Antonio Cassano there.
Forget Andy O'Brien where's the other O'Brien from Bolton Joey? Surely more deserving of a place than the likes of Alex Bruce, Darren Potter or Glenn Whelan .
He's been playing regularly in the holding midfield role for Bolton this season under Megson when fit.
He says Duff and other Irish players have been working too hard and running too much for Ireland. They get tired too quickly. Running around even if they're not near the ball.
NO SI in the squad

Morrison still involved with the play offs, the final will be on the Monday in between the two matches if they qualify so that may have gone against him. Actually, just noticed Scannell in so that scuppers that theory, strange ommision.
What's up with Paddy Kenny, is he injured? Deserves a place ahead of both Doyle and Murphy. Agree with you about Lawrence.
Recorded the press conference here: http://media.putfile.com/Squad-Annou...a-and-Colombia
Pretty much everything, except the actual announcement of the squad, and a question about Stephen Ireland, the stream cleared up after that and I could record it
I said it after seeing him last week I fancied Damien Delaney to get in and Martin Rowlands has been outstanding this season won both Player of the Year awards at Qpr.
Delaneys reaction here http://www.qpr.premiumtv.co.uk/page/...308908,00.html .
Look at Delaneys reaction to have got his opportunity. Now compare this with S Ireland's attitude and judge for yourself on who deserves to wear the green jersey. Poor Ciaran will be gutted!!
I heard his pink underwear ran in the wash and he couldn't get either of his grannies to go shopping for him before the squad met up. That meant he would have only had his Superman jocks to wear and despite the fact he was happy for the whole world to see them when playing for Man.City, he was afraid the other lads in the squad would bring along the Kryptonite and as we all know how he is allergic to anything green. :D
all
did anyone get their serbia tickets in the post yet???
cheers
