not every Irish fan wants us to lose just about the only current manager interested in managing us that could actually get us qualified for a finals thanks
Opportunistic timing

Given, Westwood, Forde, O'Shea, Kelly, Ward, Dunne, St. Ledger, O'Dea, McShane, Whelan, McCarthy, Coleman, Andrews, Fahey, Gibson, Keogh, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, Lawrence, Keane, Doyle, Long, Walters, Cox
Long obviously thinks he can make it, but if he doesn't, Best would hopefully be added. No surprises.
- No Kilbane is a surprise tbh, can't say I'm arsed though.
- Forgot Gibson was still alive.
- No way should McShane be there, he's a bench player for Hull, whereas there's several Irish centre backs in the Championship playing regularly. I know they're uncapped but still...
I completely forgot about Kilbane. Clark should really be in for McShane.
McShane's inclusion is a continuing puzzlement - though no longer a surprise.
Last time we were in a play off and we had to look to the bench the inevitable happened.
What, someone cheated?
You're right though - the moment JOS went off the tie changed. McShane could have had two yellows in his first 5 minutes. He did well enough in Liege though. Paddy McCarthy (Youngiriosh's favourite) is playing very well at the moment. Not saying he's our saviou but if O'Dea can hold his own - which he has so far - so could McCarthy possibly.
Some very questionable inclusions in there, and some premier league regulars left out for bench warmers and reserve team players. Awful stuff.
There'd be no point in calling up someone new right now. This squad was good enough to get us this far, it's certainly good enough to get us all the way to Polkraine. Only 15/16 of those players are going to see gametime anyway. Let's forget about who's not called up and get behind the lads for two massive games.
11 midfielders, can't deny Trap has a midfield obsession.
Squad as expected, and it's the right one for me. The guys who got us here in the first place so no surprise he's sticking with them. Interesting to see if Long makes it at all.
Is Gibson fit and playing again or is he just expected to be?
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Gibson - unfit - zero game time - perfect sense that he is there instead on Piks
aren't these squad normally 27?
no killer - is that the end of his ireland career? will he get a testimonial?
I've no problem with Pilkington getting a look in but it's not like-for-like.
I'm not sure if Gibson's fit or not, but I'd have thought Hoolahan would be the person missing out - at least he plays in the middle and we're coming down with wingers.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
There are only 7 back four players selected, the 8th spot is kept empty out of respect for KK.
May signal the end. He'll definately get a testimonial though and I for one, will be first in queue for those tickets. What an unbelievable servant of Irish football.
Calling up McShane & overlooking Wilson again is stupid. As for Keogh - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I really hope Trapattoni decides to give other guys a chance in upcoming friendlies after the Estonia matches.

Was the squad named prior to the change of Andrews yellow to McGeady? If so then at the time it would have meant both starting midfielders potentially being suspended for the second game. So on the surface it's a logical call on Gibson. However, the fella can't be fit - he's played no football at all!
Including Long is ambitious, maybe it's done as a shot across the bows of Best?
The recall of McShane is a tragedy. I've said it before, committed and all that he is, we[ve better options at centre back and fullback to make sure he's not included anymore. Allowing Henry the time to take the ball down with his hand 3 yards short of the endline was nearly as criminal as the act itself.
