Peadar, Connolly has started less than 20 games for Ireland.

All I said was that he had 40 caps.
Morrisson hasn't started every game he's played for Ireland either.

I'm not comparing him with Morrison (although, Connolly does have a far superior goalscoring record in div1

). Saying Harte has scored more than him is unfair as most of his goals come from free kicks and he has started twice as many games than Connolly.

Clint probably has the best return in that he's scored 5 in 21 as opposed to 9 in 40 for Connolly.
"Specialist"!

It's getting tougher to distinguish between the tongue-in-cheek posts and the serious posts. They're not Galacticos for sure but Connolly and Morrison have shown they can knock them in a Division 1 level. You are being unfair to these lads and Lee has even had a decent run to be judged on.

Remember a few years ago when we had guys like Tommy Coyne and David Kelly regularly in the squad - Is Connolly or Morrison really worse than Aldridge or Coyne or David Kelly?

Peader - BTW I think 9 in 40 compares with Niall Quinn quite favourably. Most of Connolly's caps have been as a sub in recent years.

Aldridge? What i wouldn't give for an Aldridge?

Yes what is Aldridge, doing there. That is somethign i have noticed here people ruin a perfectly good post by throwing in one too many players or by not been factually correct. Alrdridge was one of the best strikers to play in the English game over the last 20 years, hardlyl a first division or second division player at the time.
