    More than likely having a look at JP Kelly, the Bohs lads, or even Gareth Farrelly....
    Or just down to have a look at the game and pretend that he is still interested in the eL.............

    He probably doesn't even know there were matches on last night - he thinks the seaosn ended in June and we start up again in August

    He should have popped in to The Cross. If he did he would have seen one of the most entertaining games of football for a long time.

    Fairplay to Bohs - they always play entertaining football like us and try and make a game of it. They were really up for it and it showed.

    Very few sunshine supporters disapointed last night, I would say.

    Delighted that he is finally getting coached.

    Hopefully he'll learn something and will put it to good use with the Irish team in September

    Who's coaching him though.........Ruairi - Oisin - Prendiville

    Brian Kerr was at the Cross last night. He was interviewed on the radio after the game and quoted Counting Crow exactly, saying it was "one of the most entertaining games of football he'd seen for a long time."

    What are you people on about? He still attends league games when he can. He was at one of our First Division games at the backend of last season.

    He'll be on his own so !!

    Passed him on the steps at half time in the cross and said "alright biy .... jeez, you're not down this way much, are ya ??" ... just to let him know he is not down this way much.

    To be fair ... i'd say he is full of it !!

    Have to agree (with Poor Student) to be honest, although George should be on the fringes of the squad IMO (as should Owen Heary)
    As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.

    There's no way of really knowing that. He's rarely been measured up against high quality opposition competitively in his entire career. The last eL player who was tested properly at international level was Crowe against Greece in a friendly. He looked distinctly average at best. Sadly we don't really have the liberty of testing and finding out if eL players are capable as international games are so rare. Whereas we do know those playing in the top two flights of England are at a level where we know they are being tested adequately to be able to judge from that environment whether they are worthy of being given an attempt to see if they can cut it at national level.

    So why not play him (even as a sub) against China and other noncompeditive fixtures (or even the Faroes) instead of Kilbane/Kavanagh or Holland who will just stroll about with no conviction? Or take a look at him during training?

    You could use your argument to keep McGeedy and Maybury out of the squad too btw.
