I think 3pm is the time of kickoff for the Welsh match. It should be interesting to see who he calls up. There were debuts for a few players the last time Givens took charge of the senior team.Originally Posted by tetsujin1979
will be interested to see if ireland is called up and if he accepts the call.... perhaps steven reid might be released by blackburn to aid his match fitness...
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

Jaysus where to begin.....
Steven Reid - hasn't played in god knows how long
Stokes -Does missing open goals in the prem entitle you to a call up these days??
Douglas -
Would have liked to see Alan Lee given a shot.
Plus points:
At least Colgan's finished...Murphy has been deserving of that call up for a long time.
And....Eh.......that's about it really....

Good to see Stephen Reid back but its terrible that Ireland is not in the squad, he should be really turning up, no excuses at this moment in time in my view and I have tried to defend him a bit but he should be there. No suprises, Jesus Givens has already named a better squad than Staunton managed to do. Cant really complain about any of it. Oh if we think we need a big man well then Daryl Murphy appears to be the only one who could play that role for this game out of the squad.
In Trap we trust
In:
Joe Murphy
Andy O’Brien
Steven Reid
Anthony Stokes
Out:
Nick Colgan
Stephen Carr
Alan O'Brien
Darren Potter
Stephen Elliott
Andy Keogh
Shane Long
Dont suppose David Connolly was holding his breath for a call up from Givens!!!
Would like to have seen Ireland, Lee, Kenny and maybe Yeates included. Just the same as Stans selections really in that it represents Givens favourites rather than our strongest squad, but it will be for only one match.

Shame he wasn't!

Shane Long is suspended so that rules him out and Carr has retired so that rules him out.
So yeah
Keogh and Alan O Brien and Colgan and Potter are the ones really dropped from the squad.
Not sure Douglas should be there ahead of Potter.
In Trap we trust
Gibson is injured as far as I know and Ireland is not playing for us due to tight underpants which makes his hair grow in strange ways, and thats not the prison near his house either.

maybe ireland has asked not be called up?? i cant understand it otherwise...

Isn't Paddy Kenny injured at present?

Paddy Kenny's carrying a knock hence his exclusion, dpending on his fitness and the fitness of Given he may get called. Douglas is playing great stuff for Leeds albeit in League One, has international experience and is worth his place as a destroyer in Carsley's absence. It's been obvious that Givens (an arse of a man it must be said) doesn't like Garvan considering how long it took him to call him into the Under 21's so not surprised there.
It's only one game and not indicative of anything that may happen in the future when the new manager's in place so wouldn't be worried about any ommisions, clean slate for the WC qualifiers.
And fcuk Stephen Ireland if he doesn't want to play, what is it about some Corkonians attitude when it comes to representing their country, people's republic me hole.
stephen ireland will be off saving Planet Zog that night, so was unavailable for selection.
Am i right in saying that Givens never picked Ireland for the u-21's?
