it's usually around lunchtime, should be soon
Don't think there's a thread on this fixture yet.
Our squad is to be announced today in Trap's absence (due to the death of his sister). Anyone know at what time the announcement is to be made?
The Examiner reports that 'Keith Andrews has been ruled out of Ireland’s friendly against Poland, increasing the prospect of a debut call-up for midfielder Jeff Hendrick.
Andrews suffered a thigh strain during Bolton Wanderers’ scoreless draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday, forcing him to be substituted 14 minutes from time.'

Greg Cunningham back in the squad too
No Alex Pearce? I suppose he had his turn in the last friendly and Keogh seems to be doing well....but he is playing well for Reading at the minute by the looks of things.
Fair play tets, whats this keogh guy like, i see he got good reviews for coventry.

I've a friend who's a DCFC season ticket holder. Says Keogh is a solid, honest pro sort of a player. I saw their derby match against Forest on Saturday and Hendrick was outstanding in the second half.
23 outfield player in that squad,
the 3 extras, Sammon, Keogh and Hendrick?
Cunningham's getting closer.
No Shay Given - probably his mooted return was mostly fabricated by idle minds.
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

there ya go, I could almost hear the gears grinding into action. Supposed to be a solid pro, don't see him unseating any of the established centre halves, but a worthy squad player.
Trapattoni goes to see Norwich and calls up Hoolahan, goes to Derby and calls up Hendrick, Sammon and Keogh
So are you saying if he went to more games, like we all had been saying originally, then he would have called up more players ?
Anyway good to see so many fresh faces and that new players are being called up.
By the sounds of it I don't think we learn much from having keogh in there, but that might have been said about SSL before he was called up and he has done a good job for Ireland since being called up.

I have to say I'm quite pleased with this announcement. Hope he brings them through for the competitive game squads. Surprised by Pearces absence.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Mon the Sammo! Brilliant stuff.
Pleasing to see so many new faces. Might Enda Stevens have warranted a place?
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Thought Joey O'Brien would get a look in.
