    I think there is a place in the side for either him or O'Dowda.

    With the idea that a point is a great result I'd go with

    ------------- Randolph --------------
    ---------------------------------------
    Coleman -- Duffy -- Clark -- Brady

    -------------- Whelan ---------------
    SH/CO'D Arter Hendrick McClean

    "SH"? Getting confused with a rugby winger? 😀

    Nice to see both Clarke and McGeady in the EFL Team of the week: http://www.efl.com/news/article/2016...016-11-08_0956

    Not too happy about Mick McCarthy being the manager of the week He was under a lot of pressure coming in to the game despite the miracles he had performed there with no money. Some fans have short memories. They were rock bottom of the league when he took them over a few seasons back.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Gartland is very prone to making mistakes and has done so in the last number of games in Europe that he's played in!

    Another case of a manager who has raised the expectations of a club up a few levels and then when the club drops off the pace from that raised level for a period (mainly due to dwindling or overtaxed resources) the manager then takes the flak for not meeting those expectations which he was responsible for in the first place.

    That's exactly what happened there.

    I've hit the same fence as all those southerners down the years talking about David Trimble playing on the wing for the rugby boys.

    Strange how Cunningham can't make the squad.

    Acquitted himself well any time he has played for IRL.

    Very consistent for Preston.

    Hourihane is another bizarre omission. Especially considering he possesses the ability to score goals and the composure to pick a pass in the final third - something I don't think O'Kane or Arter have.

    Hard to get hopes up about Horgan (or Boyle) when you see likes of Pearce, Gleeson and McShane making squads.

    Egan too. Someone who clearly has more up side than the aforementioned.

    Hoping to see something justifying the hype re: Arter.

    I thought he was average enough against England and Oman. Slightly better against Holland.

    I suspect that McShane is in the squad because he is a versatile player who can play at either full back or centre-half and is currently playing well in a Reading team which has risen to 4th in the Championship.

    I know but he's been in squads for over ten years and made no progress.

    He's 31 in January and it's abundantly clear he is a last resort option.

    It would make so much more sense to blood Doherty and Egan rather than keep lads like McShane and Pearce around.

    I know there is a good lot of lads with half a dozen odd caps around the squad already, and maybe that factors in MON's thinking when it comes to this.

    But this is what happens when you keep guys like Green, Cox and Kelly around squads way past their sell by date.

    The squad is still too old. Work needs to be done to bring the average down in line with other teams.

    The Austrian football federation says Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic has been ruled out of Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Ireland and a friendly against Slovakia because of a knee injury.

    Coach Marcel Koller has called up Karim Onisiwo as a replacement for Junuzovic. The Mainz midfielder made his debut in a friendly against Switzerland a year ago but hasn't played for the national team since.

    Junuzovic is the third regular starter for Austria to miss the Ireland game because of injury after goalkeeper Robert Almer (knee) and defender Sebastian Proedl (groin) were sidelined.

    No room in your top three for a certain Adolf H? (Admittedly, it's hard to knock Polster off top spot!)

    Nothing Adolf did comes close to Stoeger and Polster.

    But Toni is a special kind of bast4ard!
