Alternative Starting XI?

Given that it's the off season, try this teaser on for size

Below is a list of all the players Trapattoni has selected as a starting player for one or more of the qualifiers.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to name a starting XI, without using any one of those players.
Show your workings, and there will be penalties for bad penmanship

Code:

Shay Given Steven Finnan John O'Shea Richard Dunne Paul Mc Shane Stephen Kelly Sean St Ledger Kevin Kilbane Steven Reid Stephen Hunt Glen Whelan Aidan McGeady Darron Gibson Damien Duff Keith Andrews Andrew Keogh Kevin Doyle Robbie Keane Caleb Folan

Until Fahey popped up towards the end, I was thinking that gspain had made a team excluding all of the choices of Trapattoni and Pineapple Stu.

Here we actually do have some fairly good options in midfield(Whelan, Fahey, Reid, McCann, McCarthy(? bit young) Andrews, Andy Reid, Gibson) And 6 of them are born in Ireland, not bad for a country of less than 5 million.

Alan O'Brien is that blonde fella, I think you may be thinking of Joey O'Brien for CB?

You've got it buddy, the young lad from Bolton. Alan O'Brien is the winger, not the centre half.

Based on what I've seen of Roy Keane, it would be Staunton all over again.

We'd have a new lineup every game, and he would never settle on a starting XI.

Squad atmosphere? Not a ****ing chance.
