Super International Keeper

[Mark]

it's great news but his contract ends tonight after the Bray game
so is it correct to say he will be unattached when those two internationals will be played? he won't be a bohs player anymore and is not yet with Ipswich

[galwayjames]

Still he's been picked while playing for Bohs

[Mark]

yep and thats the main thing anyway. I suppose i was looking at it from the history books point of view!

Well done Brian, well deserved. Nice to have another waterford man in the squad...

[BohDiddley]

Great experience for him, hopefully he won't have to play though, no offence to him. At least he's in the picture for the future anyway.

I'd be perfectly happy to see him play. He's easily good enough.

who was the last Bohemians player to be capped? Wasn't Crowe and Byrne with Shels when they were capped by Kerr and McCarthy?

Absolutely terrific news. Even if he doesn't get near the bench, to be part of the squad will give him the confidence that he belongs there.

No, Crowe won 2 Ireland caps during his first stint with Bohs. He started in a friendly away to Greece in 2002 (when Don Givens was caretaker manager), then made a late sub appearance in a friendly at home to Norway in 2003 (when Kerr was manager). Prior to that, he had also been in the squad for qualifiers against Portugal and Estonia when McCarthy was in charge. All of that was during his first spell with Bohs (which ran from 1999-2004).

Byrne, however, was with Shelbourne when he won his 2 caps (the first in 2004 under Kerr, the second in 2006 under Staunton).

PS: Bohs have also had players capped by other countries in recent years.

Where did Kalonas end up do you know? He was a fine player.

In the Ukraine, with FC Metlaurh Zaporizhya. No, I'd never heard of them either.

I think hes back in Lithunia or playing in Ukraine. He scored Lithuania's last goal in the qualifiers I think aswell as a goal against Romania earlier in the group, not a bad player at all. Boco would be another player capped regularly by his country (hard to leave him out considering he's captain and all ).

Fairplay to Brian Murphy for getting called up for the Ireland squad.
Great news for the LOI.

I just want Given in there, wasn't suggesting Murphy wasn't good enough. If Given were out I wouldn't have any particular problem with him playing ahead of Joe Murphy.
