    Trap wants B game for fringe players before Cyprus

    Good news this. I hope he gives the likes of Lawrence, Tabb, Best, O'Dea, N Hunt, etc a run.

    Like the idea, and also would love to see B international frienlies everytime there is a full international friendly, making loads of subs means most of these friendlies are worthless in the 2nd half.

    not a bad idea really ...like they have with the A internationals in rugby. and since trap doesnt seem to want to travel to watch the premiership this would be ideal for players to impress

    I can't see him making any changes for the Cyprus game, but anyone who impresses in the B international could get a full call up for the Poland game in November. Whelan played in the Scotland game last November, now look at him.

    The use of the wording "B game" is a bit misleading.

    From reading the rest of the article it's said the game will involve "A" squad players outside the first 11 for the games in Georgia and Montenegro. I expect the team for this "B game" will be something like;

    Kiely,

    Kelly, McShane, Bruce, Delaney,
    Keogh, A. Reid, Miller, Duff,
    Murphy, Long.

    I'd love to see a B international, but id be of the opinion that players who arent really getting called up to the senior squad should get a look in.

    I'd rather see the team include the likes of Garvan, Lawerence, Noel Hunt, Geary, Quinn, St Ledger, Henderson, Walters, O'Toole, Tabb.

    A very good idea because we seem to have a lot of players with potential and Trap needs to have a look at them

    You see i would feel that these kind of games can be played on the training ground so i'm not so sure what can be achieved by this that cant be done behind the scenes? What Trap should try do is arrange a friendly purely for the B team against anybody but our 1st team. Big difference playing with a few nerves bumbling in the stomach. The B team would go out there with something to prove but it's easier when you're up against your team mates.

    We've played Scotland B in 2006 and 2007. Useful exercises.

    I think we should play more of these and less senior friendlies.

    I like the idea but why a club side if it's not possible to put out a selection from our own league? Would if not be worth giving Nigel Worthington and the IFA a buzz to see if they'd fancy doing something similar?

    I think that it would also be a good opportunity to bring an international game to outside of Dublin (Cork or Galway maybe)... but it looks like they want it to be in Dublin...

    Keith Fahy, Jason Gavin and Shane Robinson all deserve a run.

    Fahy in particular is as good as any attacking midfielder that Ireland have including Stephen Ireland

    Oh right, so we can expect Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland to start hammering down the St. Pat's door to replace Ireland, S. Reid and A. Reid?

    To be honest I would expect a lot of clubs to be interested after his recent performances, particularly against Hertha Berlin. Pats will ask for a 7 figure sum though.

    He's not even as good as Kathy Ireland.
