Kane Ferdinand eh..always makes me wonder, why hasn't anyone looked into calling up Anton Ferdinand into the senior squad? Surely he's still eligible?

How can Brady and Hendrick play two games in one day?

It is just the panel for this year

I'd be more impressed by John Egan playing on a broken leg.

No, got it from a website which is nearly always up to date re Irish squads

**IsMiseSean** · 22/01/2013, 6:11 PM

Is Ryan Meara to old for the U21's?

**Charlie Darwin** · 22/01/2013, 6:25 PM

I think he's still eligible for this year but he may still be injured. With the MLS season finished he may not have played any football in a long time, and I know NYRB have prevented him joining up with the squad in the past (though I don't think they'd be entitled to on a scheduled international break).

Fair enough, but it leaves out a couple of LOI players that I know have been on standby for recent squads (and as such part of the 'panel')

Yep, excellent site for underage squads. I wasn't being funny with inital request. Just looking fo info

Nice gesture from the FAI to allow Poland ticket holders to take this game in for free.

Overall, the above RISSC site's panel looks strong in all areas of the pitch.

Anyone know much about this guy? http://www.coloradorapids.com/players/shane-oneill
