I'm aware of that but the OP said "Nobody is injured". Just highlighting one of Stans plethora of nonsensical decisions.Quote:

The obligatory target man plan b type striker is Alan Lee who i think has more right to feel shafted at not being in the squad than anyone else given he is in very good form this season.
Why is it that alot of people think that Daryl Murphy should be in the squad? The guy hasnt been playing regularly this season and when he has played he has been on the wing alot of the time. Its an eircom league bias imo.
Ummm, Daryl Murphys plays for Sunderland?
An eircom league bias based on him playing for Waterford prior to SunderlandQuote:

(1) Kevin Doyle
(2) Robbie Keane
(3) Stephen Ward
(4) Jason Byrne
(5) Anthony Stokes
Like all those people calling for Michael Reddy to be called up!!:rolleyes:Quote:

Alan Lee is a more effective target man in my opinion. I am not trying to be smart but i could only imagine the howls of derision if people were saying that Murphy should be called up had he not played in the eircom league. I have even noticed an anti Leroy Lita sentiment on this board ffs just because he cost Reading more than Kevin Doyle.Quote:

Id select Stokes on the fact that he is definetly going to be in the Ireland setup in the future. He is a bit young now but if you are talking about bringing players into the squad to develop them he is defo one. He was good against San Marino when he came on and he is still one of the topscorers for in the SPL.
Present day isn't the future. It's up to the clubs to develop players. Then they should be picked for the international team when they are ready.Quote:

Clinton Morrison shouldn't be let anywhere near an Ireland shirt IMO, nor should Lee Trundle.
Both are opportunist journeymen.
Agree 100% with this. Morrison is a joker, I actually find it embarrassing that he represents our country.Quote:

id love to see Doyle/O'Donovan alongside either Murphy/Ward as a front 2 for ireland
Ceirtlis get a grip, people a putting down the players who they think are the best, not because they like them or what league they play in/have played in. i wouldnt put down o' donovan or keane if i was picking 'favourites':rolleyes:
Murphy when played in his correct role (which he hasnt consistenley been for sunderland since he joined) is a quality player
he needs a transfer to a manager who knows where to play him ASAP
