Andy Reid needs to find some dead grandma and Trap wil be on the phone right away.

I cannot believe Trap is still mad at Andy. Maybe it was worse than has been reported.

This is also a smack in the face for Fahey, he starts everyweek and could easily do a job in the middle of the park, Some of Traps selections are an absolute joke

Where does it say Martin Rowlands has been called into the squad.

Rowlands and Andy Reid are not competing for the same role in the team.

I would prefer Andy Reid to replace Liam Miller.

RTE, first with the news :rolleyes:

Ah this is beyond a joke. A player is called up as cover, while you have two players in the same position that could/ should possibly start in the first team, and there not even in the squad.

For me, the real question is: should Andy be called up in favour of Duff? Trap (and it seems almost every manager in England) thinks of Andy as a wide midfielder, and not as a central midfielder.

Rowlands is being called up to replace S. Reid/Gibson's place in the squad as far as I'm concerned, and isn't really the one we should be comparing him to.

He has 3 caps. I can't remember them too clearly myself but probably the couple in Portugal (??) and maybe the Serbia friendly, as I think I heard he was involved in Trap's first match. Open to correction...

I was wrong about Serbia anyway. That wasn't Trap's first match, the Portugal training was before it so I got mixed up.

He played against-

LigaVitilas (presumably)
Lagos

Don't know who else.

3 caps under Kerr: http://www.soccerscene.ie/sssenior/player.php?id=57
I was at the Romania game (Roy Keane's comeback game), he came on and went through the opposing winger. Could have been sent off for that tackle.

Ah thanks tets. Put me out of my misery. I was thinking those training games could hardly count but it never occurred to me that it may have been pre-Trap, even though I heard he is 30:o

I'm not being smart here, but hopefully the FAI have good insurance cos QPR will be claiming the cost of his wages from the FAI cos he was injured on international duty.

It was Miller who first lost the ball, and Rowlands started charging round to get it back. The look on his face when he was carried off, he knew his season, and World Cup, was over.

get well soon!

Yeah, felt so sorry for the guy being carried off. He knew, judging by the look on his face, exactly what it meant. Season over. It was so strange how it happened too

Best wishes to Martin Rowlands. I hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

Said that on another thread, am so disappointed for the guy. He got a yellow card shortly before that covering for Miller too. I reckon thats the end of his career to be honest, he looked resigned to the fact too. Shame he never had an extra yard of pace, Ian Holloway said he was the first name on the teamsheet when he was at QPR, would have easily been a Premiership player he said if only he was quicker.

To be fair I expect hundreds of players have got in his way in his career, it's just one of those random things that seem to happen for no reason.

To blame Miller or McShane for the injury is pretty ridiculous.

Freak play and it could have happened at any point. Hope he recovers, but at his age it's going to be a tough road back.

Ah I know I have had a good go at Miller on his thread, but I'm not blaming him for the injury in fairness. Just pointing out what effect making a mistake in football can mean.

Rowland's injury had nothing to do with Miller, McShane or Don Givens.

Meanwhile speculation is growing that Martin Rowlands will announce his retirement from the game following a series of knee injuries, the latest sustained in the 30-year-old's first competitive start for the Republic of Ireland against Montenegro.

Firstly I hope he does not have to retire
and secondly I hope all the insurance regarding compensation is in order if he does have to call it a day.

makes you wonder where the reporter got the story from. Maybe Trap told him that players dont normally come back from that sort of injury.

Great to see him back and if he can get back into the first team could be playing premiership football next year.
