I'm intrigued as to whether Trap will use the same squad for the Uruguay game, or will there be a reserve pool of players to draw upon?

He's the main man for his country and is a good player but I suppose at Inter he's got to bow down to Eto'o, Milito and co. I think Inter signed another striker during last transfer window as well so he's probably not getting much game time at the moment which should be to our benefit. I hope the guy is rusty.Quote:

There is goals in this team
I don't know why Whelan is in everyones team. He's an average player who can't get a game for Stoke with nobody really in for him. Gibson and Fahey are much better options, but you know how loyal Trap is, it's annoying.
It's a predictions thread, not a "dream first XI" thread. So everyone is putting Trap's likely loyalties into their teams.Quote:

Whelan has personality.
I agree. Marty Whelan has plenty personality.Quote:

If we could just add 2 or so players of real quality before given/keane/duff/dunne retire, we could be in a very good position next summer - if we qualify.
Wiki also says they call him that because he loves Phil Collins.Quote:

Andrews
Duff
Mc Geady

Long
Doyle
Stokes
no McCarthy?
Sorry guys McCarthy and Coleman also, I dont like to jump at any "anglo blow in " but if anything happens to Dunne we are in major trouble, I totally welcome Stearman.
Predicting:
-------- Westwood---------
O'Shea Dunne St Ledger Clark
McGeady Andrews Whelan Duff
---------- Long Doyle---------
Subs: Kenny, Foley, Gibson, Green, Best, Walters, Fahey
mcGeady not a cert? Someone's been on the laughing salts...
One thing I would say on the team I've outlined above, is that it is small. I dunno how big the Balkans are, but we've the back 4 and Doyler for bulk and height defending setpieces. That is a concern. It could be enough for Andrews or Green to displace Fahey. In fact I think it will. Andrews to start, Fahey to bench, Coleman not selected for match day squad. Ireland to win, Kingdom to back heavily, drinks all round. :-)
Kingdom- Can you name me one game where McGeady has impressed everybody (not just Aiden/Celtic fans) in an Irish shirt? If Lawrence is fit then it wouldn't surprise me if McGeady is on the bench.
