The moment that spelled the end of Andy Reids international career. Trap hates Damien Rice.

Can someone please explain to me why Kevin Doyle is in the squad?

trapattoni wants the irish medical team to asses him, the same thing capello does with england players

**Crosby87** · 18/05/2009, 11:58 PM

Any chance whatsoever Doyle can play?

Andy should bring the guitar on to the football field with one of those straps on his back.

Then when he really wants to mesmerise the opposition he can slide it around front and give them a tune.

Sure it would not make him any slower

No, the Nigeria game is only on Steanta but as far as I know RTE will be showing all the qualifiers.

according to this - http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/prelimi...esresults.html - it's 8:30
doesn't say if it's local time or GMT, or whatever though.
I can only find TV listings only up until the end of the month

**Stuttgart88** · 19/05/2009, 11:41 AM

Thanks. FAI website says 8.30 local time, 6.30 Irish time.

**Wolfie** · 19/05/2009, 12:57 PM

The inclusion of Nolan, St Ledger, Lawrence and Foley is encouraging.

I'd have like to have seen Delap rewarded with a call up also. I still think he could do a job for us in the short term.

It's definitely 6.30. Have a pre wedding course that day finishing at 5.30 so will be straight out the door and to the pub! Made sure to check the kick off time before telling herself I was free that day for it!

They are, RTE and Setanta both have the Bulgaria game, Nigeria is Setanta only.

trap and doyle have said there is a small chance that he may be fit to play. A player of doyles quality has to be included in the squad no matter how small the chances are of him being fit for bulgaria

trap has said he wont play doyle unless he is 100% fit --- so the chances are very small - but still should be in the squad to prove his fitness..

Why? he is muck and there are better options in that position including Fahey and Garvan to name 2.

He is far from muck and has put in alot of excellent performances in an Irish shirt.Im not going to start running down players like Fahy or Garvan because I believe that they will eventually be in Irish squads as they are quality players but Andy Reid has proven to be a good Premiership player which those lads havent and when Reid was in the Championship he proved every bit as good as those lads if not better. He has also shown in the past that he is a much better option on the right wing than Andy Keogh ever will be and he is head and shoulders above Liam Miller.
He deserves alot more respect than people saying he is muck
