Isn't he mad for pints ?
Isn't he mad for pints ?
Shame with Burnley now all but promoted.
I really thought he was a good player. Hopefully he'll get back into the squad with some eye-catching Premiership displays in the 2014/15 season
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Squad to be announced tomorrow (Friday) at 10.00am.
Do you blokes think that Turkish players ever eat Turkey as their pre game meal or that it would be thought of as taboo?
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Does anyone know if Richard Keogh was interviewed after tonight's game? If he complained about not being picked for the national team, we can cross one name off the list.
Because he failed in Scotland would the biggest indicator to me. Terrific LOI player. Maybe the spell here has helped him. On Forrester, he has the talent. A full time training regime with nutritionist etc would help him develop the physique needed. He couldn't play full international football yet

Quite a conservative selection, and Cox is a surprise.
"The U21s can wait" is the clearest message.
Gibson, Reid, Westwood and maybe Dunne would be expected to be in next autumn's squads and they would definitely strengthen things.
Apart from Wes and McGeady there is little creativity in midfield.

The Hull City lads will more than likely miss the Turkey game and there's a few there who will be involved with the play offs.
No Stephen Ireland, despite recent reports, no Grealish, no guarantees Pilkington and Joey O'Brien will be fit.
Duffy apart, there's little in the selection that indicates progress over the last seven months
It's been talked about for about two years now how Forrester needs to develop his physique. I know little about such matters but I can't understand how this hasn't been a priority for him. To me he has a lot of great attributes but he can be out muscled in games.
Another player who might have made the grade I always thought if he was stronger was John Dillon (I know he's English but just pointing out the similarity) but again, despite all the talk about him needing to bulk up, he never did for whatever reason. Beautiful footballer though.
On RTE O'Neill says that the squad will be reduced before 22nd May and that Stephen Ireland may yet figure but he hadn't had a chance to discuss it with him yet, or something like that. I'm saying nothing...!
Are any of these games live on rte/setanta? Thanks.
Lets talk about six baby
Setanta definitely showing the US games.
Does anyone know if Premier Sports in the UK does a PPV option? They show the big Setanta games but I think a permanent subscription is required.
