I was looking at this article on f365 where it is trying to work out how important players are in the eyes of the england manager for 2012, so heres my list in the eyes of trap, for the rest of the qualifiers, possible playoffs and hopefully the tourno proper.
1. Richard Dunne - An absoloute colossus, one man wall, whatever way you say it he is crucial at the heart of our defence, for his leadership as well as defending abilities. Could be a blessing in disguise that he will miss Andorra where surely we can cope and not Armenia. Unreplaceable.
2. Shay Given - He's back on form and just as dedicated to the cause. Played a stormer through a niggling back strain in Russia. Experience is key in goals and Shay has it in spades, also with Westwood now warming the bench for club it's even more important to keep him fit.
3. Robbie Keane - He seems to attract hatred form irish fans, every striker will miss chances and Robbie is no different, but show me another irishman who will step up with goals in big matches again and again. he will be crucial to us qualifying, especially should we find ourselves in the playoffs.
4. Damian Duff - Opposite to Robbie, everyone loves Duffer. Scary to think that he will be gone soon. Lost the pace that made him so deadly in previous years he has evolved well to ensure his other attributes make him just as dangerous as ever. In a team of players scared of taking responsability duffer never shirks from looking for the ball.
5. Aidean Mcgeady - Improved no end since move to Russia, top quality player now who showed what he has added to his defensive side of his game in last match.
6. John O'Shea - Definite starter, but needs to step his game up now and become a leader in defence.
7. Kevin Doyle - Has waned a bit with the emergence of Long as a premiership force, coupled with poor form in last two games. Doyler's place is less certain than anytime in last five years.
8. Glenn Whelan - Continues to be Traps first choice cm despite everyone elses opinion.
9. Sean St. Ledger - Has been brilliant this campaign and pretty much everytime he has worn the green. certain starter.
10. Shane Long - Taking prem in his stride, the number 9 jersey is there for the taking as well
11. Keith Andrews - Much maligned andrews in the same boat as Whelan, the jersey is there to be taken if someone else can step up.
12. Kevin Kilbane - Nothing to suggest he isn't still first choice LB, only time will tell
13. Stephen Ward - Had his chances, did he do enough in traps eyes?
14. Stephen Hunt - Criminally underused, unlucky to have duff and mcgeady ahead of him. Needs to be utilised better
15. Darron Gibson - Will he ever make the step up, seemed to be ahead of Andrews, who knows now, needs a move.
16. Simon Cox - Has done well when given his chances.
17. Keith Fahey - In my opinion he is the ball player the midfield is crying out for, remans to be seen if trap trusts him for a more prominent role in the team.
18. Kieron Westwood - Number 2 keeper jersey is his own at the moment, won't be for long if he remains as unused sub every week.
19. Stephen Kelly - Traps mister dependable, Has been called upon on several big occasions and has always done just about enough. fair play to him.
20. Darren O'Dea - A strong performance in Moscow strengthens his reputation even more, i was'nt sure of him last year but have to admit he's done well.
21. James McCarthy - Undoubted talent, surely a matter of when rather than if, but that is just the question when??????
22. Liam Lawrence - Rose in to the team without doin much to deserve it, then dropped out of the team without doing much to deserve it, a trusted option.
23. Seamus Coleman - Needs gametime as fullback, that is the only place i could see him breaking into the team at present, hopefully he gets straight into form for toffees.
24. Kevin Foley - Good ball playing full back for wolves, had his chance and didn't take at FB or CM, i rate him but might be a while before he gets chance again
25. Andy Keogh - How he continues to get picked is beyond me.
26. Keith Treacy - Looks a decent prospect.
27. Ciaran Clark - Was being championed to go straight in at LB, got a chance , didn't take it. Will be a major part of team but maybe not this campaign.
28. Damian Delaney - He's done ok but hardly one for the future
29. Leon Best - If he can get goals for club will be hard to ignore
30. John Walters - Same as Best.
31. David Forde - 3rd keeper at present
32. Marc Wilson - Prospects suffered from missing friendlies, looks like has quality so bridges need to be built quickly.
33. Wes Hoolahan - Deserves a shot
34. David Meyler - Great prospect, hopefully will be fit and playing soon
35. Robbie Brady - From what i've seen of him looks the real deal, why not bring him into senior squad.
36. Paul Mcshane - Please not again Trap.
37. Shane Duffy - One for future, hopefully has good loan spell and breaks into everton team.
38. Anto Stokes - Other players have been forgiven for no shows, nothing to suggest stokes won't be , if he plays his way into contention, if , if?
39. Anto Pilkington - A prospect but well down list at present, a few good prem games could change that
40. Marc Tierney - LB ??
41. Mark O'Brien - Talented CB
42. Barry Maguire - Haven't heard much about him since he declared, presumably holland weren't banging down his door.
43. Joey O'Brien - Another chance for Joey at West Ham, Good Luck
44. Conor Clifford - Seems to have been on the verge of breaking through for an eternity without doing anything.
45. Joe Muphy - possible 3rd choice keeper.
46. Chris McCann - Good player hopefully he gets back on track after injury.
47. Connor Salmon - Needs games for wigan first of all
48. Darren Randolph
49. Brian Murphy
50. Cillian Sheridan - Don't even know where he is now, possibly back in Scotland
Without doubt i've forgotten someone

Sir Tony O'Reilly and his minions - without them Ireland doesn't exist, and the football team (and rugby team) are nobodies led by nothing. Okay, no more ranting.
Harte is gone, Andy Reid too, would have pushed David Meyler up a few spots but he's injured. Noel Hunt could be there.
The one and only David Connolly.Originally Posted by the bear
Cheek of you.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Actually was only thinking the other day that Connolly should be given a chance to proove himself in a friendly considering he's playing very well for a Southampton team that are at the top of the Championship.
51. David Connolly
52. Clinton Morrisson
53. BonnieShels
Darren Randolph and Brian Murphy would definitely be above Harte and Reid.
51. Connolly
Playing his was back into Trap's thoughts with some explosive displays for Southampton!
Folding my way into the big money!!!
agree , changed
We can only hope (and if he is in the reckoning, 51 my ass)51. Connolly

All those years of metrosexuality are catching up with our Paul, doesn't know which way the girls are swinging these days.
A bisexual lesbian?
That would be a heterosexual lesbian.
More rare than a bisexual monogamist.
This board is turning into Dan Savage's sex Q&A's (Shudders.)
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
I don't know any but I'm sure there are plenty of bisexual monogamists...any once-married guy "on the down low" would I guess fall under this category. For a man, finding a female bisexual monogamist would be called "hitting the jackpot." However, how could anything, much less a lesbian, be both heterosexual and bisexual? Surely its either one or the other. I suppose it is possible it was a transvestite whose female parts liked only women while its male parts liked both?
EDIT: After consulting Urban Dictionary (which I should've done in the first place), a bisexual lesbian is "a bisexual girl who, even though she likes both, she prefers women." We will, of course, need to confirm with Paul that this was his intended meaning.
