Trap has indicated he wants to try Hoolahan in the infamous Totti role: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...325979912.html
Which means he'll probably get 10 minutes off the bench on the left wing.
Better than Tierney anyway. I'd have Harte ahead of him and I wouldn't have Harte anywhere near the squad.

Come on CD, Cox will get a full 90 at left wing.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin

Hopefully we will get our future captain back ready and fully fit soon.
Maybe we could organise for the rest of the team to wear St. Ledger masks while they are playing?
smoking! 😱
9 ex-League of Ireland players in the 26-man squad, with Long presumably to make it 10/27 now. >1/3 must be one of the highest ratios in decades.

Long called up. Clifford, Duffy, Delaney and Key-O cut.
Westwood, Forde, Randolph, Coleman, O'Shea, O'Dea, Kelly, McShane, Ward, Clark, Andrews, McCarthy, Fahey, Meyler, Whelan, McGeady, McClean, Brady, Hoolahan, Doyle, Cox, Walters, Long
Keogh, Clifford, Duffy and Delaney relegated to standby status for the game.
10/23 now ?
9/23, Delaney is ex-Cork.
Did he play for Cork in the LOI?
I'm not sure if he played in the first team to be honest but he was there for a couple of years.
I cannot for the life of me see why he has kept in McShane, for a friendly, and dropped Shane Duffy, when as a nation we're having kittens over Richard Dunne's fitness. He, and everyone knows what McShane can and cannot do, but less so Duffy, so why not do the sensible thing and give the big man another opportunity and run the rule over him?
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
But at least Clark, who Richard Dunne has been praising, has been playing at CB for Villa and is in the squad.
I'm as excited by Duffy as anyone, but Clark is rightly ahead of him and, let's face it, Duffy is supposed to have been poor in some of the recent U21 fixtures.
Now, if McShane is picked ahead of Clark that's another matter!
He was dreadful against Hungary, and the 21s hammered Italy with 10 men a few days later when he was suspended.
Slightly unfair on Duffy with the Italy comment CD. He played in most games during this U21 campaign and when alongside Kiernan I think they were both superb. It was a good combination and he even popped up with a goal against Liechtenstein. He had bad start against against Italy at home, but improved as the game wore on I thought.
He is captaining the Everton U21 team and is their top goalscorer, but should ideally be playing more senior football. Strangely though at the beginning of this season, Moyes, for whatever reason gave him a new three-year contract and said that he would rather he remained at the club than sending out on loan.
Clark is justly ahead of him in the pecking order, but let's remember that at 20, he already has more Premier League experience than both Darren O'Dea and St Ledger. He is the future and with Dunne struggling with injuries at 33 years of age, we need to see all our options.
End Apartheid Now! One Team in Ireland!
Just to clarify, I never made a negative sound re: Clark, it's all about McSham.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
McShane is reportedly playing very well for Hull.
I like McShane. You can't doubt his commitment, shame some of our other players hadn't his dedication.
