I'm interested in the goalkeeping situation too and don't expect any surprises elsewhere but yeah, ditto.

From Daniel McDonnell on Twitter:

"David Forde and Darren Randolph called up to Ireland squad for Macedonia. James McCarthy/Richard Dunne/Keith Andrews also included.."

Is it on Newstalk?? I'm listening and they're on about some drag thing that happened last night

More from Daniel McDonnells twitter account:

"Absentees of note: Paddy Kenny, Anthony Stokes, Stephen Hunt - Trap to explain reasons shortly. Hunt is injured, though.."

No Paddy Kenny then. I wonder is there a problem between Kenny and Alan Kelly?

Nothing on newstalk anyway, useless radio

David Forde and Randolph called up. McCarthy, Dunne and Andrews also in.

No Stokes

Delighted for David 'Three Fish Suppers' Forde. Sounds like Kenny wasn't even sounded out though - have no idea what's gone on between him and Irish management, but would've been good to see if he was available at all.

Yes!!!!!!! Paul Green made it.

Westwood
Randolph
Forde

Foley
O'Shea
Clark
Coleman
Dunne
St. Ledger
Kelly
O'Dea
Kilbane
Wilson


Andrews
McCarthy
Whelan
McGeady
Duff
Gibson
Green
Lawrence
Treacy
Fahey

Keane
Doyle
Walters
Best
Long
Keogh

"Trap revelation: 'My English is not sometimes English'. Finally...."

"Trap: "Nobody has EVER said I'm arrogant in all my years of meeting with players." - dig at Stephen Ireland."

"Trap giving most of presser in Italian, admits there can be 'misverstanden' when he speaks in English (German)."

Looks like Trap is as fed up as the fans with the Irish press being so desperate to create stories they try to make a bigger story out of any misquotes.

Yeah, it would seem he only had eyes for Forde at the QPR/Milwall game last week on the basis of that squad. Kenny must be well, if not completely off the radar considering those selections and the injured players they're replacing.

I think it's massively important now that with this game Westwood and McCarthy get capped to end anymore debacle on the subject. Assuming Dunne is fit, the only question marks would be over Green and Kilbane. Ideally we'd see McCarthy and Clarke in those positions.

Givens input probably put payed to Kennys chances of selection.

No Paddy Kenny?

No McShane I see

Trap was hardly going to ask Kenny to come back to play second fiddle to Westwood, and in the long run, third fiddle to Shay. So no surprise Paddy isn't there.

He's the stand-by goalkeeper option.

Yeah it makes sense, just thought with three goalkeepers out they might have approached him. It pretty much ends any chance of him lining up for us again I'd say.
