Agree its a terrible time for a friendly. Isn't this one being scrapped as part of the new TV deal
Pilkington and Wilson started today.
Wilson comes across as a right ******* in all truth, feigns injury for practically every call then whines when not part of the Euro 2012. The lads one of the fittest players out there as well playing over 40 games in both the last 2 seasons, its not as if he's minding himself from recurring injuries or anything.
Pilkington, Wilson, Hoolahan, Ward and Doyle all played today.
and Long...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
In interviews or what are you basing this on exactly?
He can have no complaints if he's left out now for the next few squads.
And it'll annoy the hell out of me hearing barstoolers moan about why he's not in the squad.
True he had his chance and he messed it up. As much as I think Stephen Ward is an absolute liability its even more damaging to allow fairly average players such as Wilson to start dictating what matches they want to play in.

Hold on. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Wilson hasn't been dictating what matches he's wanted to play in, nor has there been any suggestion that he'd do such a thing. As if Trap would let him anyway...
Reminds me a bit too much of 'The Boy who Cried Wolf'. He's, as stated earlier, one of the least injury prone players in the Premiership based on his Stoke appearances yet around Ireland friendlies he turns into Darren Anderton.

Perhaps, but let's not start accusing him of other things of which he certainly isn't guilty.
I meant dictating as in feigning injuries when he can't be bothered rather than explicitly telling trap as such.
I proved this theory wrong in another thread but you didn't bother replying to it. Again you claim he feigned injury to miss the squad. But on that point alone you are wrong. He had a virus. Now it's not my place to say whether or not he was sick, but anytime I've had a virus I have recovered within 3 or 4 days.
I appreciate your input Mrs.Wilson.
I don't get this guy at all takes a brave decision which comes with a lot of flack up here to play for his country and he was in the Irish News a few months back expressing disappointment at being left out of squads but saying that he was committed to Ireland and he would patiently wait for his chance but yet he isn't available for friendlies again. Is he just biding his time until Trap leaves or something?
Just to keep things in perspective, I think magicman's post from another thread is worth re-posting here: http://foot.ie/threads/152510-Should...=1#post1618307
I just went back through a bit and this is the info I could find.
Wasn't in the Euro's Squad
Wasn't in the Czech Squad
Wasn't in the Estonian Squad
Wasn't in the Andorra/ Armenia Squad
Was named in the original 32 man squad for Russia/ Slovakia but didn't make the cut.
Was in the Croatia squad. Travelled over, Irish docs declared him unfit and was sent home
He did miss the Carling Cup games against Scotland & Northern Ireland(that's one pull out)
He was in the Macedonia/Uruguay squad but didn't play. Can't find any mention of him pulling out or being replaced. Just seems he didn't play.
Was in the Carling Cup Squad v Wales and played.
Says Mrs Harte.
He wanted to play in the Euros but not be a part of any of the work to get there, basically.
How could he have gone about doing the groundwork if he wasn't selected in the first place?
are you ever going to address this post Murfinator?
