Here's an example :D
the problem with football worldwide now is that there are too few men left. garto is a man playing a man's game like a man.
he is the epitimy of courage and determination to win. he may not be a great passer of the ball but he has a real Thou Shall Not Pass attitude that drogs fans love and that Ireland fans would love if he ever got the call.
just coz he made a high profile error in the Cl game doesnt mean he is prone to them. he also made damn sure he made up for it with 2 goals in Europe.
He's big, he's hard
he'll take a yellow card
Graham Gartland, Graham Gartland
Only a matter of time before we see him instead of muppets like Nancy O Brien, Doherty, Bruce and others who player at a lower level and have no european experience and no medals
since when are robust tackles out of order .....do you not remember keane on overmars????
Brian Murphy is the only EL player near a call up to a 23 man squad. The rest simply aren't at the required standard at the moment and won't be unless the standard of coaching in the country improves.
Does anyone have a list o the two u23 squads?
Alex Bruce,John O’Shea and Liam Miller are in the squad for the Norway game,there is LOI players beter than these three
Brain Murphy's a fabulous keeper, and amongst the best I've seen in this country. He was, however, released by Swansea in League one.
Barry Murphy made at least 3 errors in this game alone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPjD93Qmq9o
None of them deserve a call - up.
David Grincell deserves a call - up.
DAVID GRINCELL IS A LEGEND
Brian Murphy must be wondering what he has to do for a call up. Another howler from an Irish keeper.
The LOI players will do no worse than some of the lads currently on. Im not saying the LOI are great but the players on are not great either. Not a hope of reaching South Africa, they should concentrate in putting a squad together for the Euros in 4 years
Now that Dave Mooney has completed his move "across the water", expect a call up in 2 weeks. :rolleyes:
