Coleman in Irish U21 squad

**happydays97** · 04/10/2007, 7:58 PM

Just been into town there and was chatting to a fella who said he heard that Seamie has got the shout for the friendly in Sweeden next week???

Anyone hear anything about this??? Delighted for him if he has. Totally deserved.

This is the original U-21 squad named for Sweden:

Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad v Sweden (Uppsala, October 12th)

Darren Randolph (Charlton Athletic)
Shane Supple (Ipswich Town)
Keith Keane (Luton Town)
Darren Dennehy (Everton)
Darren O’Dea (Celtic)
Eddie Nolan (Blackburn Rovers)
Michael Spillane (Norwich City)
Stephen O’Halloran (Aston Villa)
Stephen Quinn (Sheffield United)
Patrick Cregg (Falkirk)
Owen Garvan (Ipswich Town)
Darron Gibson (Manchester United)
Alan Power (Nottingham Forest)
Alan Sheehan (Leicester City)
Billy Clarke (Ipswich Town)
Anthony Stokes (Sunderland)
Jim O’Brien (Celtic)
Keith Treacy (Blackburn Rovers)

So unless he's been called in to replace one of them then it's not true.

Sligo will be looking to have their game that night postponed if he has been?

Unless of course he gets an additional ban for his recent red card

If he has been called up he won't be in that squad as Givens said no eL players would be in that one. He'd be replacing one of these (defenders) for the game against England on Tuesday if picked:

Darren Randoph (Charlton Athletic)
Darren Quigley (UCD)
Stephen O’Halloran (Aston Villa)
Conor Powell (Bohemians)
Darren Dennehy (Everton)
Eddie Nolan (Blackburn Rovers)
Richard Keogh (Huddersfield Town – on loan from Bristol City)
Darren O’Dea (Celtic)
Darron Gibson (Manchester United)
Stephen Quinn (Sheffield United)
Owen Garvan (Ipswich Town)
Shane McFaul (UCD)
Michael Collins (Huddersfield Town)
Patrick Cregg (Falkirk)
Billy Clarke (Ipswich Town)
Adam Rooney (Chesterfield)
Anthony Stokes (Sunderland)
Jim O’Brien (Celtic)

powell on it instead of coleman, again, the dubland teams get the favouritism

**pineapple stu** · 04/10/2007, 8:38 PM

seamus coleman is better than conor powell, end of. if you can't see that you shouldnt be watching football

**pineapple stu** · 04/10/2007, 8:47 PM

Wow. Great argument there.

Seriously, there's no bias. If he's good enough, he'll get in. End of story.

**Rovers fan** · 04/10/2007, 8:48 PM

bit of a joke that coleman didnt make it ahead of powell. sure didnt fran gavin say that coleman is one of the best players in the league, yet powell gets on ahead of him!

Not true. Givens is an idiot that doesn't know the EL, just like Stan.

**pineapple stu** · 04/10/2007, 9:03 PM

He's correct in calling up McFaul and Quigley (though granted Sammon is a bit of a mystery), but he's clearly watching the league. Coleman just mustn't have done well in matches against the Dublin teams.
