    Crazy, do the FAI departments not talk to one another?

    There was a scheduled FAI Cup reception to promote the competition ahead of this weekends games in Dublin City centre. The time 2pm.

    Generally it's the same journalists and photographers who cover the game here and surely someone could see there was a clash in the two media events.

    Any bets on surprise inclusions?
    Darren O'Dea isn't in the U-21 squad, Scannell, Garvan, McCarthy, Treacy and Judge are in it though.

    Surely the squad is just being posted on FAI website, is there an actual press conference??

    Darren O'Dea would barely make the Finn Harps squad.

    Ya there always is............

    The most interesting thing to discover is if any of the three are named, other than that, I'd say there aren't going to be any massive talking points.

    He was poor against Middlesbrough, but so were the rest of the Celtic side. Supposed to have improved in later games. Still started the season on the bench though

    O Brien not returning, Finnan back, Ireland not ready to make himself availble for this squad "may still in future"!

    For ****s sake Stephen Ireland!

    Now as your chance, wipe the slate clean and get back on board. Instead, you turn your nose up at it.

    Disgrace.

    The only big surprise for me is that Glenn Whelan is in the squad.

    Other than that, you can't really argue with Trap on his squad selection.

    Oh, it doesn't sound like Andy O'Brien will ever play for Ireland again.

    Not too happy with the midfield selection- no natural right winger is a bad choice as you might want to change things round if you are looking for a goal.

    Team pretty much picks itself.

    Given

    Finnan Dunne O'Shea Kilbane/Delaney

    Duff Reid Reid McGeady

    Keane Doyle/Keogh
