    Madden called up and still no Joe Mason? Something up there. Maybe he's in the same boat as Connor Smith was refusing the under 19 call up, citing fatigue.

    FAI confirm Madden's call up, along with Ronan Murray: http://www.fai.ie/international/under-21/102538.html
    Cian Bolger and Kevin Long are going to train with the squad until Sean Murray and Samir Carruthers join up after completing their U19 duties

    How do you mean "until" the others join up? Will they leave then, or what?

    It's an interesting choice. I think Bolger and Long are both centre backs, while Carruthers and Murray are midfielders. Other players in the squad who can play CB are: Connolly, Oyebanjo (both mainly used at RB), Canavan, Duffy, Egan (used at LB when Duffy & McGinty were 1st choice CBs for Doolin). I suppose it can do no harm to have competition.

    I'm very surprised that no LOI players have been included.

    Not sure about Bolger but Kevin Long is a centre half.

    Lots of young talent in the LOI so yes somewhat surprising nobody from the league is included. But in saying that, the selected squad does look quite strong on paper (attack wise at least).

    dunno, it's from the FAI press release: http://www.fai.ie/international/under-21/102538.html
    King has also invited Cian Bolger (Leicester City) and Kevin Long (Burnley) to train with the squad prior to the Denmark game as Sean Murray and Samir Carruthers will still be involved in Ireland under-19 duty.

    The two things are related. Only lads who were back in Ireland and doing nothing else were called up as 'extras'. They're not really in the squad but ing is having a look at them.

    Some LOI players were on standby but they've been allowed stay with their clusb (who all have games this weekend) rather than just be called up for training

    Unfortunately I won't make this game in Tallaght tonight. Is anyone going? 7:30pm kick off, pay at the gate.
    Also, according to the Independent, Michael O'Neill is going to be at the game...

    Yeah, I'm going. Looking forward to it too, should be a good build up to the Italy game for the team

    Very strong line-up by Ireland, considering it has 12 players!

    They got it wrong in the panel down the side but right on the matchtracker; Kevin Long doesn't start.

    be interesting to see how these lads fare, especially the prospects Duffy, Cunningham, Hendrick, Brady and Aidan White. Very strong team though overall.

    Very surprising that Mason isnt there, maybe he is tired after a long season? Wonder why he was excluded...

    Was at the game last night. I thought the teams were well matched, very little between them. The two central midfielders, Towell and Hendrick formed a defensive shield in front of the defence, with very little coming through the middle to trouble the centre half pairing of Duffy and Canavan
    Greg Cunningham captained the side from left full, it's the first time I've seen him play for Ireland since the friendly loss against Norway at home, and he's definitely put on some muscle since then! He linked well with Aidan White in front of him, and overlapped well to get into the last third of the pitch.
    On the other side, Brady pushed forward from the right wing to support Eunan O'Kane and Rhys Murphy in attack, but I felt he left John Egan at right full exposed quite a bit and the majority of the Danish chances in the were coming from there. Brady did have the ball in the net in the first half, a long shot taking a wicked deflection off Murphy but it was unfortunately ruled out for offside against the Arsenal frontman.
    Brady opened the scoring with an excellent free kick, drilling home from outside the area after Murphy had been fouled. Unfortuantely, the Danes equalised almost immediately. Cunningham conceded a free kick on the left side, and the subsequent free kick took a deflection off the wall, wrong footing McLoughlin and into the far corner of the goal.
    Brady was again involved in the final goal of the night, conceding a soft penalty after contesting a ball in the air.
    A rash of substitutions saw the game peter out, but not before a claim for a penalty for the home side when Aiden White was fouled, but a throw in was the result.
    Of the introduced players, James Collins made the biggest impression, offering movement and ability in the air that was missing with Murphy playing alone up front.

    I'm unable to make this game either. Huge game though.

    Tets, based on what you saw in the Denmark game do you think King knows his team? He's played pretty much the same group for most of the games of his tenure.

    It was also interesting to hear Egan play at right back. It just shows that he is capable of playing anywhere along the back.

    I'd say Rhys Murphy will be dropped for Collins, and possibly Egan won't start, but other than that it'll be the same XI that started against Denmark.

    Big game today, in Sligo v Italy. A win will set them up nicely. They don't get the attention they deserve, partly because they massively undrrform, and partly because Don Givens was such a goon.

    Tets, in the last game, Denmark, did they play a system similar the seniors, i.e two centre mids sitting.
