You can't be serious :D Just because he played for your beloved Hibs don't let that cloud your judgment. Granted that was his best spell but he would still be there if they had wanted him and he was average at best while there. I've seen him have regular howlers and he's twice been beaten by 7 goals in recent times if my memory serves me right.

According to BBC Henderson is getting the nod??

Either way they are inferior keepers

I'd put Colgan on par with Leicester's Rab Douglas (ex Celtic) and I certainly wouldn't want Douglas in goal for us. :) I'd prefer Henderson for tonights game. He was attracting interest from a few Championship clubs in the summer.

Hendersons positioning was poor for the Czech goal imo.

After Devine's performance tonight, it was best he wasn't picked in the end. Made a complete ****-up for our second goal and was clearly uncomfortable anytime a high ball came into the box.

Every keeper has a bad day though.

always though Stephen O Brien was the best shot stopper - probably a bit passed it now though ( not suggesting him for Ireland )

His first big mistake that I can remember over the last couple of seasons and look how distraught he was at the end. He is entitled to an off day like everyone else and is still certainly a better choice than Henderson and Colgan.

He was at fault in Belgrade and was poor for Pats winner last year. Better than Colgan certainly, wait and see with Henderson

Well except for Shay Given. ;)

If adamcarr is right and it was his first big mistake in a year or 2 then he should be in the squad without a doubt. You don't need world class opposition to judge a keeper. I found that plenty of people rated Steve Williams though when I thought he was very ordinary.

Barry Ryan is the best keeper in the league.

In fairness that goal only stood out as it highlighted how few mistakes he makes. His performance in Prague last season would be worthy of an Ireland squad inclusion. I would say the weakest part of his game is kicking.
