QuoteDanny Murphy ? English......
Staunton has called up 22 year old unknown from Preston Sean St Ledger.
There must be better, more experienced full backs playing in the EL.
One of Owen Heary , Simon Webb, Brian Shelley, Danny Murphy, Kevin Deery etc must be better.
Danny Murphy ? English......
Heary has consistently been the best full back in the league for a few years now. Played well in any european game i've seen too.
Why was Don Givens not picking St Ledger for the U21 squad?
Danny Murphy is best full back in league IMO - even though he is now off to Motherwell. He has represented Ireland at underage level already. IMO he is def good enough for the squad - if he does reasonably well in Scotland he'll prob be in the squad soon enough
Neil Horgan, best RB in the EL last season. Unsung hero, shame the soccer writers can't see past Heary.Originally Posted by Tenderloins
In fairness I don't think any of the above are good enough, Owen Heary maybe but he is injured. Anyway with Finnan and Carr on right and O'Shea/Harte on left I cannot see the point in have 5 full backs in the squad. Its centre backs we need. I dont think many players in eircom league are quite good enough to make the full step up. O'Callaghan /Gamble maybe but their indisipline rules them out every time. Jason Byrne is def better than Connoly, Morrison or Elliot but still hasn't got the class. Can't see many call ups from eircom league although some of the current squad would struggle to make some teams in the eircom league. Strange but true
He has an awful tempermant, been carded numerous times this season. No way the best in the league.Eddie McCallion at Derry and Owen Heary are better players. Eddie has played underage for northern Ireland and has been super for the last two seasons for us. His performances in europe alone have been magnificent.
Why he has not picked for Northern Ireland is beyond belief. They rather pick a guy from lower league team in England who's english.
Ahem!
he'll be considered in about 6 stone from now i'd say
IMO Horgan is nowhere neargood enough for International standard - he is consistent at el level - no doubt about that but I remember he was extremley poor against Slavia last year and just dont think hes up to it at the highest level
Re Murphy I suppose you are right headtheball his temper is shocking tbh - but if he can control that - unlikely he is good enough IMO. Are you a Derry fan? Im not a Cork fan but think Murphy is better than McCallion - albeit I have seen more of Murphy
in fairness, hes the fastest fat man i've ever seen.
if he lost the weight he would be good enough......
Yep. same with me though.
Heary is miles better full back than any of the Coprk players. Much as I hate him

saw the st ledger on big ron manager last night..he seemed very good in the clips it showed of him.....english though ya?
Keith Foy Keith Foy Keith Foy Keith Foy Keith Foy Keith Foy Keith Foy.................thers your answer!
Heary the only one but he's injured. Should have called up Derek Geary, good player for Sheffield United over past couple of seasons and now playing in the Premier and still not getting in. Who this "my granny's from Cavan" is i don't know but regardless its laughable.
Jason Gavin - class act!!
What does the banner say ? Can't read it with that big full back in the way.
I haven't seen much of Shelley this season but he was excellent in a poor Rovers team during the 2nd half of last season.
I think Danny Murphy is english anyway. I was unaware he played underage for Ireland.
I think you can't get called up for Ireland with just an irish parent. Need to have english parents & irish granny - you will get called up to ensure you can't decalre for england later.
