In fairness, it's widely agreed that Murphy has been more impressive than Keogh when called upon for Ireland, such as in the US tour.
Besides no matter who came on against Slovakia, they wouldn't have made a difference at that point. Though I agree Keogh should be in the 18 for Wednesday.
Amazed if they get that for him. Has he improved to the tune of £1.9m in 2 and a half years?Quote:

well see, QPR are loaded now :D
I hope theres a few quid in it for Waterford United.
As a QPR fan of 15 years, I can tell you that nobody is happy. A lot of us are saying that it is about 250,000 now up front and then the rest if he shows to be a success in the future.
We may have plenty of cash but this is no way to spend it.
Will be delighted to see a ROI player on the team again though. At the moment we only have Martin Rowlands and he has not played since the time of Kerr. Once we had Dominic Foley on loan, but he fired a lot of blanks
:D:D:DQuote:

That's very true Deekydee. As of now, well since two minutes ago, I'm a lifetime supporter of QPR.Quote:

Great player, shame he missed a sitter in the '92 FA Cup Final. He could have been only the second player to score in every round from 3rd round onwards.
Gary Waddock, Michael Robinson and Paul McGee would be a few other ex Irish Internationals that had decent spells at QPR.
Sure weren't QPR sponsored by Guinness for years too!
Not forgetting the great Terry Mancini :DQuote:

It was a home game against Poland and it was his debut.Quote:
