I would be expecting Lawrence to be in the next squad, the only two others I would take from that list is Kenny, with Given's injuries these days & McPhail. I may be wrong but McPhail may be a bit too lightweight for an international player.
Delap??? Please not Trap:eek:

as far as i know the kevin nolan thing is a no go now since the window closed....
Go on then. 20 Midfielders. With reasons why you'd have them ahead of Tabb, Delap and RowlandsQuote:

I personally think that Rowlands did okay the last time he was selected for Ireland. Not 100% sure, as they were a long time ago and I only saw them once, but he didn't seem to stand out as being a weak link.Quote:

He has to be one of the young players jockeying for a squad place.
I would have O Toole and Garvan in that list no problem.
What are you on about...You made a daft throw away remark, indeed an exageration; saying there are 20 players ahead of those mentioned above. Now when pushed on the matter you've managed to find 20 midfielders who are playing at a reasonable level and included them in there ahead of them. Your post is absolute sh*te. Coleman described Tabb last week as a 'little gem', whilst the other week removed the captaincy from Michael Doyle. Also, QPR have been subject to a recent takeover and despite a mass influx of players Rowlands has managed to keep his place.Quote:

Are we talking about a friendly here or a qualifier? If a qualifier (or one of Trapp's first two matches) I see no reason anymore than 3-4 of them should be called. If, for example, the Norway friendly, I don't see any reason why 6-8 of them shouldn't get called and play at least half an hour.
Ciaran I don't see a single player below 8th on that list that is a better player than Tabb at present.Quote:

not to mention the fact that he's currently captaining QPR aswell.Quote:

Ciaran - about half of your list is absolute bull and the other half is just obvious. I'd deffo be willing to give Rowlands and Tabb a chance in the squad ahead of most of the guys below #8 (bar Kilbane obviously!!)
What have their musical skills got to do with anythingQuote:

Anyway if you watched some of these players actually play football from time to time you would have a better idea of their ability.They should be given the chance and let Mr Trapattoni decide if they are good enough or not.

He is not good enough for this role imo and we need someone there who is.DD play's there week in week out for QPR,and is our only upcoming left back apart from O Halloran who is injured.Give me a reason why he should not be given a chance here apart from your seasoned international one?
