FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[imtommygunn]

Great to hear he's in the squad. We need all the quality we can get and I think he'd add a lot.

There will always be begrudgers like that. These people don't realise the irony of them coming out with things like that.

That's mild for a NI fan!

It's no wonder catholic players opt for the Republic.

[The Worker]

The abuse that man receives on twitter is crazy!

Do these so-called fans not realise they are turning more and more potential players against their wee 'country'?

[Forever Green]

Good news regarding McLean getting the call up, hopefully he shows what he can do. Paul Green called up as well? Only ever seen him play a few times. He wasn`t bad but he wasn`t great either, couldn`t be any better than what is there already. This is the team I would like to see for the Euro`s from the players Trap usually picks for his squad;

These are just parting shots in frustration.
They know there is nothing they can do and the haemorrage is only begining!
Each player that delares for the Republic sends a message out to the next up and coming player.
The only way for the North to change things, is to create strong bonds amongst the under age international sides and hope that by the time they reach senior level, they won't want to leave!

I'm a bit puzzled by the Paul Green thing especially as his younger clubmate Hendrick seems to be operating at a much more consistent level. If McClean continues to progress at the current arte then he is a real threat to Duff. Despite Wolves'  problems, Doyle seems to be coming back into form wheres Long has missed a lot of games lately, but on form Walters should be ahead of both. Looking at all these things would suggest there are more options in the squad, coming good at the right time.

Here's a team that won't  get picked (falling through the Trapp door for different reasons) but could do a job:
Kenny
S Reid, McShane, Delaney, Wilson
Treacy, Ireland, Meyler, N Hunt
Stokes, Rooney

Aye, a lot good players available and a lot of the younger players have a lot talent about them. The future looks good. A lot of these players are going to be at their peak once the other lads are ready to retire

Is No 2 not Damien Johnson (ex Birmingham & blackburn)?

[muppet]

Number 1 looks likes Jonny Sexton giving birth.

[SHEEDY]

gibson out of the squad for the czech rep game with a knee injury. reports are that he'll be out for 3/4 weeks.

[ziggy90]

If Keith Fahey keeps up the form he's shown for B'ham these past few weeks he might struggle to get his place back. I know it's not the PL & I'd be the 1st to say he's no world beater but he really has been at the top of his form lately. Btw is that No 10 Robbie Keane re-energised.

[ardal]

Is Number 9 not Colm Farrell

[randomtask]

Keith Andrews and Kevin Doyle with goals this weekend. Irish players seem to be really getting into great form with their clubs before the summer. Every week that go's by i get more and more confident of a positive euro campaign, starting to genuinely think we can pull of a Greece. Over the last few years Keith Andrews and Glen Whelan took a lot of negative comments but especially this season they seem to be getting better and better.
