simple Yes or No.
Yes!
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
yes, 14 goals in 14 games is impressive, no matter what level. what harm will it do to give him a try?
Course he should. If Doherty, Lee and Macken can make the squad, then surely Trundle can too. One of his goals on Saturday was pure class. I couldn't imagine many Irish players scoring it, regardless of the level.

He's better than Doherty so why not
That fact on its own is not convincing. If he wants to play for us then Yes.Originally Posted by shakermaker1982
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
those who voted no...how about some reasoning behind the decision...
playing devils advocate here but i presume its cos he isnt playing at a good enough level to be considered for international football
YES!! anyone who is scoring goals in the English PL or Coke C should be at least in the squad and should get a few cracks at playing too.
Yes..Of course he should why not.If he knows how to find the back of the net thats good enough for me.
NO!!!
No firstly because of his age - he will be 30 when the next campaign begins and is unlikely at 34 to be an option for the next World Cup which must be the goal of the next manager.
As most players say it takes 10 to 15 international games to really feel comfortable this seems like too much time to invest in a 'veteran'.
Secondly he has never played in the top two tiers in England and we have no history of players guys from the lower leagues in senior games. If Connolly played in League 1 he would be scoring as many as Trundle if not more.
We have Keane, Elliott, Morrison and Doyle that we can work with and I'm sure over the next couple of years we will have other youngsters like Stokes coming thorugh plus hopefully the FAI unearthing some Plastic Paddies with a better age profile.
And lastly the most serious reason, he prefers his left peg.
if u reckon connolly is a better option than trundle then u have never seen lee trundle play football. the man has such a quick footballing brain that it wouldnt matter what level he was playing at, his ability would mark him out. he has stepped up to this level effortlessly and will certainly do that again...and with regards to age...remember aldrige?
I'm slim and trim at 34. Will I do?

Yes. Top scorer across all Eng. leagues, great to watch with the ball at his feet and more competition in intl squad, might buck up the others at the same time..

well you obviously knew what i intended so it doesn't really matter does it, think of better things to comment on...I'm slim and trim at 34. Will I do?

Jonathan Douglas should be in the next squad,not a striker but showing good form this season in the midfield :-),good box to box player.

It does to me and to all those who wish for some maintenance of standards in written and spoken English.

i think he would offer something we dont currently have,certainly more than certain others currently knocking about, and i dont think the level he is at should count too heavily against him as ive seen him play a few times and i think he would step up to coca-cola league level and score regularly fairly comfortably...but,he is pushing 30. and i believe its vital Irish football now builds for the next w.c. campaign and he is by then only likely to be in the way of young talent pushing through.
had he applied himself and shed the extra tonnage a couple of seasons back and earned a move to a better standard i would have welcomed him but he didnt,he was an overweight lower league player in a comfort zone,and because of this i think missed his oppertunity with us.
No. I think Elliot needs to get a fair run-out in the team now and Doyle should be blooded. Keane and Morrison would still be my preferred strike partnership so I cant see how we can bring an-aging Trundle into the side. If he was a central midfielder or a left-full.....
well in this thread you have only made daft comments so maybe you could read the thread title and make a comment relating to that. i feel that may be more beneficial than focusing on how you would like your english language to be spokenIt does to me and to all those who wish for some maintenance of standards in written and spoken English.
