Who would ye slot in so lads from the ireland team that might make the german team, dont think anyone.
None.. but on last nights performance, there are a few of the TSDL players that could slot into the Irish team.. Chalkie or Breen couldn't be any worse than O Shea and O Dea
Aye.. the same Germany that beat the Faroes.. 3 - 0 .. at home
They would be better, and thats not an exageration, what was o shea on when he should of been sent off but ref said the german dived, shocking defending for a man who has premiership medals. Darren o dea, o lord save us, simpleton of a man. Def better junior players in ireland, i wonder what he is earnin weekly in toronto?
I have never, ever, ever, understood how John O Shea lasted as long as he did at Manchester United.. I still cannot fathom how he is collecting a wage from a Premiership club.. Darren O Dea is simply nowhere near International class..
I know the FAI won't contemplate this.. but if I were in a position to make a decision, I would more or less write off this campaign.. and here is why
1. We are not going to win this group.. but then we probably never were
2. We are unlikely to come second in the group, because I simply cannot see the current players (with morale on the floor), getting past both Austria and Sweden.. even if they did.. they would need to be absolutely poxed to get another soft draw in the play offs
3. Even if we managed against all the odds, to get to Brazil.. what would we do there ? Get hammered is my considered opinion
So...
Write off the current campaign as lost, and concentrate on building a squad of younger players that will qualify for the next Euro's in France
Because..
1. We are likely to be a second seed in that draw (because of the way the seeding works on a 3 campaign rolling average .. play offs in WC 2010, Qualified for Euros in 2012, in the top 16 in EUFA rankings currently)
2. There will be an extra 8 places for qualification for those Euros
This will allow us to build a squad through two campaigns, and have a decent crack at qualifying for Russia in 2018
Lets see Clark, Wilson, Coleman, Mc Clean, Mc Carthy, Pilkington, Brady, try to get Stephen Ireland back, Samir Carruthers, Conor Clifford, Conor Henderson etc...
All these players are in the right age bracket to be brought through over the next 6 years with an eye on Russia
Sorry for going way off topic in the TSDL forum..
Lads will ye stop for crying out loud,for the love and honour,ye'll want em playing for barca next,roll on the 11th nov.and they get another pasting.
according to the star last week o dea is on around $350,000 dollars a year in toronto.
$349,000 to much!
Seriously guys, is this a Limerick, Rep of Ireland or TSDL forum?
Aye bilko, i started the ireland talk as a smart comment reply to the limerick dung on this thread wasnt expectin it to esculate so much. Place is a mess, remind ya of clonmel of a saturday night.
tsdl from now on everybody ok,,,,,,FAI 3rd today lets worry about that
Was at Wilderness v Michaels match. Result was never in doubt but I wasnt that impressed with Michaels. They did enough to win and i suppose thats all can be asked of them.
Have to agree good 1st half poor 2nd but I suppose it was game over wants saints went 2/0 after 20 mins at end of day it's about the results , also heard Rosegreen beat old bridge any truth in that ?
Is that coming from you or one of the
Mods??this is a public forum not yours.OK
Lads,there's loads of threads about the Ireland game elsewhere on the forum so can we take it there please?
Yeah, mea culpa, my fault and I'm sorry about it.. was just so frustrated after Friday nights (non) performance
Good performances for the TSDL sides in the FAI Cup today.. 8 games played, 6 TSDL teams progressing.. With Redmondstown taking Nenagh Celtic to extra time, and Nenagh Town only getting past Galbally by the odd goal in five..
Rosegreen's win over Bridge probably being the stand out result on the day.. but Rosegreen are funny like that, they get into good runs and can get a good head of steam going every now and a while (remember they were only beaten by eventual finalists Salthill a few years back, in the last 16 of the FAI)...
6 teams to get out of the area and 3 Premier teams already through to the last series of games before that.. So, without wanting to be disrespectful to lower league teams, I am sure some of the Premier teams (especially Cashel) will be hoping to see their names come out with Vee or Moyglass.. or even a local derby with Rosegreen... interesting draw ahead
By the way.. how have Michaels only 3 games played when most of the others have 5 or 6 games played ?
was @ tipp town and celtic yesterday ,,very good game both team played football, game was left to flow by ref which was good,,,,goal of the season so far was scored by vinnie godfrey of tipp town whe he rocketed a shot from 25 yards into bottom corner of the net,,,,,CELTIC best wishes from everyone at ttfc hope ye go all the way this year.
just want to say well done to redmondstown, they gave us a right scare yesterday and are a good football side, they put on a serious spread back in the pub for us and were a sound bunch of lads, i think the effort they put in in the first 60 minutes was brilliant and they were the better team either side of half time, unfortunately i think they just ran out of steam in the end, thanks again lads
