    According to today's Indo, Stephen Ireland will not be in the squad VS Australia, to be announced on wednesday: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...r-1841400.html
    Stephen Ireland will not be in the Ireland squad when Giovanni Trapattoni names his panel in Limerick on Wednesday for the upcoming friendly against Australia, writes Dion Fanning.

    Speculation had intensified this summer that Ireland was ready to return following encouraging comments from the player and further contact with Trapattoni. However, the friendly in Limerick appears to have come too quickly.

    Privately, the FAI is not prepared to rule out a return at any stage. However, Trapattoni will hope that Ireland makes a quick decision that boosts his country's chances of qualification.

    I'll would wait until the squad is announced before making any judgements on it, Dion Fanning isnt the most reliable source. But if he isnt in this squad he shouldnt be considered for the World cup
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    This is ridiculous if true. Was there ever any chance he would be back? I dont even blame SI for the confusion. The only thing Im positive he said was that it was unlikely he would be back yet I keep getting my hopes up which makes no sense... Its like people ask him, so, you coming back? "No." Well great see you when you get back then!

    And what is it coming to quickly for? Thats stupid writing unless it came for SI saying that. How much notice does one need to play a friendly against Australia?

    This is obviously another complete fabrication because tardeilli stated he doesnt have to play in friendly as they have seen him 20 times this season, and to answer your question i dont think he ever hinted he was gonna come back now

    if he is going to come back for this campaign a friendly in his native munster would be the best place to do it. we dont need him returning just before a qualifier and the hype upsetting our preparations. its either for the friendly next month or not at all in my opinion

    He doesn't need to play in a friendly to prove his worth, he needs to play in a friendly to get used to playing with the current squad and get used to Trap's system. This isn't Stan-style Sunday league sh*t anymore.

    Getting the media frenzy over with in a non-competitive situation is also desirable.

    I'm surprised you can see the keyboard, it must be so dark up there??
    I pity the fool!.... But suggest ways that he might improve himself.

    It sends out the wrong message that Ireland seems to be allowed to waltz into the team whenever he decides it suits him to come back yet he has never shown any of the desire or passion you would expect as base requirements for an International footballer. Alternatively Andy Reid is still left out in the cold even though he seems desperate to get back.

    Why do we even assume this baldy, immature, insecure, idiot will even improve our team? I still see him as a luxury player, useful perhaps when you have the majority of possession but not the type of player you need in the team against Italy or Bulgaria when our backs are against the wall. I also sense he could be a disruptive influence to the harmony of the team which has no doubt been an important element of our success under Trap.

    Anyway point being even if he was Pele (which he's not) the lack of respect he's thus far shown for the Ireland team, management and most of all it's fans means I'd be far happier to never see him in a green jersey again and would rather pin my hopes on McCarthy or McCann emerging over the following season than waiting for super**** to decide to end his self-imposed exile.

    On a sidenote what sort of inbred, hillbilly, lowlife sends his brother photos of a sexual nature containing his long term girlfriend and mother of his kids?

    what is it that makes him a luxury player exactly? The guy works his socks off on the pitch, is a decent tackler, scores goals and has an eye for a pass.I understand the dislike of him because his attitude to the national team but he is very nearly world class already. All u have to do is see the Man City fans comments on him on any forum to see how highly they regard him and I doubt that would happen if he was just a luxury player that drifts in an out of games

    Exactly, he is definitely not a Berbatov, gives you the work rate of Tevez with the goal scoring ability of Berbatov.

    Also re. his personality. you have to remember, he is from Cork so can't be expected to behave like the rest of us!

    How many sorts are there?

    Made me laugh that did.

    I think the point above about Ireland needing to be integrated into the team in a friendly (or two) is a good one. Yes, we all know he's a real talent but team balance & dynamic is something else. The team plays to a system now and they all know how it works. Ireland's inclusion would introduce a wild card element - it could go either way.
