Finally... Some common sense.

Not so much on the Ireland come back, but the size of the first squad... Everyones on the same page going into the quals...Criteria for selction, acceptable behaviour etc....

No one bitching in six months time cos they're being ignored and need a hug..

No guarantee he'll turn up.

It's good to have a 40-man squad, to cope with his and other withdrawals.

Not a whiff of an eL player in the 40 man squad. I guess that puts pay to any hope we had of Trap even considering the players in our League

I'm happy for Worm. It's a vindication of sorts for his years of unswerving belief in the wee mans ability.
We'll see if he make the cull down to 28 for the friendlies.

Good news about Paddy Kenny though.

Would the teams want an EL player to miss EL games for an Ireland friendly. The structure of the EL season really rules out EL players for International selection. Of course there would be exceptions.

Do they know that Liam Lawrence is eligible? 14 goals and 15 assists this season.

some surprising/encouraging selections there. Scannell looks to be getting on the fast track.

Liam Miller is in their & Liam Lawrence isn't??? If they'd watched a Stoke match in recent weeks they would of had Delap in ahead of that over hyped has been Miller

Yes - he should be included. I would have also called up more defenders - Paddy McCarthy, Alex Bruce and St Ledger spring to mind. We're weakest in defence so we really need to know what's available to us and what they can do.

That's why Russia, Norway, Estonia et al don't bother fielding national teams at all, I suppose...

Anyway, the clubs concerned would have their games postponed if a player was called up.

I am not saying that. These game are on in the middle of the EL season. I am not sure I would be happy if Murphy, or Joxer or Crowe were to miss games against Pats and Galway in May for these friendlies.

Again, they wouldn't. The games would be postponed.

Nice to see Garvan finally called up into the senior squad; hopefully he'll get a chance to show what he can do.

Some surprising enough inclusions - didn't ever think Connolly would get called up again tbh.

Im sure there is a good reason why Lawrence isnt in the squad. Im a bit disapointed for him. I have always been a fan of Connolly in the past but there is nothing to be gained from bringing him. Id be happy with it though, nice to see Wes Hoolahan get the recognition he deserves.

Wow wow wow, I have just realised that there is no Alan O'Brien or Joe Lapeira. I detest this squad
08/04/2008, 3:30 PM
NeilMcD

Why what is the rule and would Galway and Pats be happy that a game is cancelled due to one player from the other team. I don't think you can just get a cancellation just because you are missing 1 player. When would the games be fitted into the calender esp if its St Pats or Derry or Cork who are in the Sentanta Cup.

Hopefully he will be given time to make the step up to international football.

Also i think McCarthy from Charlton surely deserves a call up, even more so ahead of O'Dea. Delaney as well perhaps. We have to work on our defence

What are you on about? Liam Brady picked this squad, Trap is his assistant. Its the Liam Brady show now.

Totally. I'd say Tardelli had some say all right, but the bulk of those players would have been picked / dropped based on Brady's thoughts.

No Lawrence, is a surprise.

with the way theyve looked at sunderland, its a wonder there is no place for ian harte!

also, i would read into no andy o brien or finnan that they are indeed finished.

what's david connolly doing there?

also the lack of defenders is really worrying. Surely they should be looking at Bruce, St Ledger,McCarthy and maybe even O'Halloran.

I assume the 40 are going to Portugal and then he'll cut the squad for the Serbia game.

no gaurantee any of them will turn up. id have money on it that the same robbie keane that turned up a while back to play albania only a few days after his dads death will be there for sure.

do tell me... what prompted this ridiculous post?

Defensive options are despairing,could definitely of done with calling up more defenders in the hope of unearthing one that can do a job.

Also when was the last time David Connolly actually scored a goal? What exactly is to be gained by having him in the squad?? He's hardly gonna dislodge the likes of Keane, Doyle & Long - would of been better off leaving him at home & calling up some younger players (James McCarthy) or fixtures permitting some of the more promising home based players (i.e. those that will be snapped up by cross channel teams soon) to give them squad experience rather than that whingy little tool

well O'Halloran's out for a long time but agree with the rest of your post (bar Bruce maybe - don't think he'll ever be good enough...)
