Why is Galway's Stephen O Donnell not in the Ireland Squad

**Galwayutdcelt** · 22/03/2007, 9:09 AM

i think it is an Anti-Galway thing, if he was a Dub he would be in the squad. An excellent game for Falkirk against Celtic he had at the weekend may i add.

do you have anything else to back up the anti galway thing?

maybe its an anti stephen o donnell thing?

or maybe sure he had a good game against celtic - but hasnt consistently performed

eitherway - stans selection policy is all over the place at the moment - so nothing should surprise us

Now if he was from Cork I am sure Stan would have picked him , or have I got that wrong somewhere or other .

I reckon this post is a wind up. Actually the player who got motm is a Dub and he is not in the panel either. Clegg.

Claret I think Corby hasnt woken up yet.I thought Stephen had a poor game against Celtic except for the time he clattered Neil Lennon.

In the words of John McEnroe You can not be serious!!!

i didnt see the game - thats why i was saying "sure" as in he could have had a good game against celtic

anyway what im getting at really is if one player isint doing well and isint selected - its a county bias thing - now is millar east or west cork?

Having a good game for Falkirk does not mean a player should
get a call-up for the senior squad.

Outside of the Old Firm, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen, the standard
of the SPL would be close to League One or the Premier Division
of the EL.

I'm inclined to quote Student Mullet here.

and Roy Keane while I'm at it, "When you look at the players who are getting in ahead of the likes of Liam Miller, I scratch my head. Maybe they leave him out because he's from Cork."

Very funny, Galwayutdcelt. Even if the posts above don't really get it.

for that alone he should have been given man of the match.
the ginger whinger has little respect for many oppossing players or fans

folks i was ripping the **** out of Roy Keane. Miller should be in the ireland squad even though he cant get a starting place on the sunderland team.

Nice One

Totally Agree. As things stand the boy Roy has achieved exactly the same as Steve Staunton in football management i.e. zero. For one whose defenders always talk about his plain speaking, he comes across to me as a total hypocrite on this one.

No doubt there would be constant whinging about TOO MANY international call ups if he had genuinely class players at his disposal - at least it was always the case with Sir Alex that international fixtures somehow impaired his stars' performance at club level

Corby must have been watching a different game than was on setanta. A newborn baby could have had a brilliant game against celtic last sunday as celtic were so poor it was frightening. This is coming from a celtic fan aswell as a gufc fan.

Your comment was nothing more than "cammy frazer"

tribal are you sure your not still asleep - seems like we are all getting a touch of narcolepsy according to gufct
