Came on after 55 minutes tonight against TNS
Shades of Keane to Inter, hope the new manager will give him a chance (assuming the new manger still has to be appointed)
Has been called in for the international games

The Gary Doherty option...
Ah, give him a chance. He has good feet, unlike Doherty.Quote:

No match report so far in the English language Bulgarian paper. Plenty about him in Bulgarian though:

I thought his touch was utterly atrocious against Argentina, but his headers were well directed.
Ive never seen him do anything in any game that justifies his selection in the Irish squad. Personally I think hes one of the poorest players Ive ever seen in an international shirt. I know hes young and that might sound harsh but even the basic stuff like work rate and first touch is awful. And Im not just judging his work rate on the Argentina game when he had played the night before, its been every game Ive seen him in.And lets not forget he didnt even score goals at Plymouth when he was there on loan, it should be a given that any player with ambitions to play for us should do well at that sort of level
Unnecessary harsh comments. Cillian Sheridan needs the routine and experience from first team football before a fair assessment of his future potential can be made. He's not a superstar in the making but he does offer something that is currently missing in the squad. Agree that he has a poor touch but let's be honest about it, how many of our players have a good touch? Richard Dunne's touch is truly awful for example. Obviously there's a host of professional football clubs that see something in Cillian Sheridan so trust their judgement and give the kid a fair chance to show his worth before whinging about his selection in the squad.
Im all for giving lads a chance to develop but my original comment was that I have never seen him do anything to justify his selection in the squad and I stand by that. A call up to the international team should be earned and I just dont think he has even come close to earning that selection
Only 3 strikers were originally named in the squad. Fact of the matter is that we don't have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to our striking options and Sheridan's current inclusion in the squad is justified and necessary. Yes call-ups to the international squad should be "earned" but common sense dictates we need to have a few striking options in the squad for the forthcoming double-header if, heaven forbide, Keane or Doyle should get injured. Sheridan offers the target player alternative that would be missed if he wasn't included in the squad.
justified and necessary ifk? Cant agree on either. Im with Razor on this one.
I would argue that if we are just gonna pick someone to be a target man then Jon Daly would have a bigger shout for a call up than Sheridan has. Daly is just the first name that comes to mind but he has at least scored goals regularly in the SPL, which Sheridan hasnt done. I by no means think Daly is good enough either, but he at least could justify his inclusion more than Sheridan
Well I'd rather have a fourth striking option in the squad if anything were to happen to either Doyle or Keane. It's both necessary and justified to have that option. I trust in Trapattoni.Quote:

Clinton did score for Sheffield Wednesday today but he wasn't in the starting XI today and only came on when they were already 4-0 up. He got his goal in the 93rd minute. I would have agreed with you at the start of Trap's reign but I think Clinton's chance is long gone at this stage.
He's a target man, he's not meant to be tracking back. By waiting up the pitch he gives the defence an option to boot it out to him, and in an ideal world he can hold it up long enough to win a free kick. And I don't remember Quinner having a great first touch. He's there cos he offers something different. He wins headers, he wins free kicks, and he is the kind of player defenders hate playing against.Quote:

It all depends though.
Good luck to the lad, but he's clearly not even close to the finished article. Are we to believe that he is better than Stokes (Celtic got rid of Sheridan and are ready to pay three times the figure they got for him for Stokes - so there's at least one club and its coaches who think Stokes is the better player - but his goals should tell us that anyway) and Walters?
I honestly think that since Brady left the set up there is a serious disconnect in translation and experience of the English League between Trap and Tardelli and the players they pick.
Match video here if anyone's interested.Quote:

It's not exactly an insult - GD scored some important goals under Kerr.Quote:

Само две минути по-късно ирландецът Килиън Шеридън вкара трети гол във вратата на Георгиев, след като бе точен с глава от 6 – 7 метра.
Just two minutes later the Irishman Cillian Sheridan scored the third goal in the door Georgiev after being accurate with the head of 6-7 meters.
Once he settles in, I'd love to hear his thoughts on what it's like to play so far out of his comfort zone. It may be part of the EU, but having been in the country a couple of times (albeit for a skiing holiday) large parts of it are very barren, very bleak. I've never been to Sofia though so perhaps it's a bit more pleasant.
Have to disagree with you regarding Quinn. May not have had a great touch at the start, but his touch became fantastic as he got older.Quote:

I think it was a brave decision by him to move to Sofia but it was a decision that indicates a level of ambition and determination to succeed. I hope the move works out for him and it's certainly encouraging for his future international prospects that he has quickly established himself as first choice with his new club.
Took it well but jaysis he'd an acre of space
Make of that what you will?!Quote:
Black Sea midfielder Yordan Yurukov claims the judge spoke of the match with CSKA Ahmed Ahmed. According Yurukov striker Cillian Sheridan CSKA hit a ball without a defender of "sailors".
"An Inconvenient loss. Stand well and missed many chances. If we had inserted them we would win. Sheridan hit our defender without the ball, but the side judge make it sees. There are videos and this can be seen," said Yurukov.</span>
