I can't see why he'd be preferred to McCann or Hendrick.

Or Andy Reid and Stephen Ireland for that matter...
I almost feel that a separate subsection of Godwin's Law [(Bonnie's Law)] needs to be formulated solely for the purposes of Ireland squad announcements.
Godwin's Law when pertaining to Ireland team or squad selections:
As an online discussion about an Ireland team or squad selection grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Stephen Ireland or Andy Reid approaches.
In other words, It has been observed that, given enough time, in any online discussion pertaining to Ireland team or squad selections, someone inevitably makes a comparison to Stephen Ireland or Andy Reid.

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
What does Liam Miller have to do to get a recall?? FFS!!
Didnt mccann refuse to sit on bench for one of givens 21s sides?!!!Agree though would have been excellent reward for good last 2 seasons after his bad injury
Stupid call up but then again this is Trapattoni

its not much different to robbie brady being in the squad and most fans welcome his inclusion.
on the one hand trap is slated for ignoring new players then when he calls in one of our prospects its met with comments like yours. he really cant win
If this is the stupidest call he makes this week we'll be blessed, very anxious for the team selection.
In fairness to Clifford hes played a lot for the U21's
Not that I agree with his selection but hopefully it helps kickstart his career again somewhat
Yes but he couldn't get in a poor Portsmouth team in League 1

I think it's more a case that there are more suitable new players who have been overlooked in his favour. Not saying Clifford isn't good enough but he seems like an odd choice given the alternatives.
Are you Liam Brady in disguise?

no sorry. you richard sadlier?
Not in the past year. Unused sub for two qualifiers v Italy and Turkey at home before he withdrew for the qualifiers in Sept when he would have been on the bench again anyway.
Brady in contrast played every U21 game and scored in most...therefore deserved promotion.
Another joke decision by our senile manager.
Surprise call-up, but no harm in it. He's not going to play. He was called up for the Croatia game last year, so Trap is familiar with him, and he must have impressed in training. Would have liked to see Hendrick or McCann in there instead, but he looks like a really talented player from what I've seen in underage games, no harm having him around the set-up.
Edit: I would have been ecstatic to see Conor Henderson called up, because I think Henderson is an outstanding talent. But he's playing at the exact same level as Clifford, i.e. on loan from huge club, not immediately getting his game in League 1.

It must be true, Lawrence has really been sent to Siberia.
Clifford was hot sauce eight months ago - now he's garbage. That first Trap call up was a kiss of death.
Calling a young prospect up for a decision we're short in isn't stupid, even if people feel he should be down the pecking order.
If he plays him up front on Friday, then it'd be stupid.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?

Wonder if the Germans are going to be a little over confident after snickering at our roster.
