Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.

Where are you getting that from? Nothing up on FAI website yet.

Forwards: Folan, Doyle, Keane, Long, Noel Hunt

So thats finally it for Stephen Ireland.
Same team as the one that started against Gerogia barring injuries.
Yeah the only problem I would have with the squad would be the Liam Miller issue. It could be like the days of Eddie O Sullivan that its harder to get out of the squad more than anything.
Good to see O Dea in the squad, I have seen him a good few times for the U21s and rated him and I thought he was fantastic in the San Siro a few years ago and was not bad yesterday either.
In Trap we trust
He is supposed to start depending on his fitness.

If Ireland wanted to have any part of the squad he would have stated his true colours and said "I'm ready to play, Trap can pick me I'm available", he hasn't done this despite numerous interviews and each one seems to contradict the next, as good a player as he is, I think the lad has some serious issues, that's something he needs ironed out in my mind.
Even more alarming, why isn't Keith Fahey in the squad, hes been playing out of his skin for Bermingham each week since he arrived. Liam Miller, averageness personified still in aswell.
re. Ireland squad, looking at the midfield.......Andy Keogh and Liam Miller in before Andy Reid....I know it's been done to death, but it AIN'T RIGHT!!
So, the team is? (if Finnan fit):
Goalkeeper: Given
Defenders:Finnan, O'Shea, Dunne, Kilbane
Midfielders: McGeady, Gibson, Whealen, Duff
Forwards: Doyle, Keane.
?
Did it really take the naming of the squad for anybody to realize this! Forget about him. Lionel Messi had as much chance of making the Irish squad.....he's not available for selection for us either.

Why, is he injured? What about Lionel Richie?
He just called, to say, "I'm unavailable"..
He just called, to say, how much he doesn't care.
Or was that Stevie Wonder??
