FAI...New Manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson

[ludermor]

He has only scored goals in the Scottish league...........

He still scores goals, some of which are top drawer.

only in the scottish league, he has scored the grand total of 3 goals in 36 premiership appearances and a miserable 1 goals in 25 appearances in the championship. Id sooner have David Connolly back rather than Stokes.

[Clown]

Stokes was a wayward youngster when he last played in England
He has by his own admission, and Lennons, knuckled down and improved drastically this past few seasons. Always had the talent, just didnt work hard enough

I dont think he has any chance of going to the euros, he had his chance and didnt bother turning up, Cox did turn up and impressed. Ability wise however i dont think theres much between him, Best and Cox, Stokes could turn out far better than the other two if he keeps improving.

People think if you score a goal in the english premier league all of a sudden your a superstar and must start in the Ireland team

In fairness when he had a couple of appearances for Arsenal he was only 17 I think and even at Sunderland he was only 18/19. Still a kid bascially.

He's matured a lot since then but I think he'll always be held back a certain amount at the very top level by his lack of pace.

When you look at some of the paceless clowns with less ability that Trap picks you just wonder.

Your young fella Shane Duffy is going well. A big push from him this season should see him in Poland. He can play anywhere across the back which is always an added benefit.

You're more stuckk than you think.....


Villa - Clarke (Correct spelling is Clark - a Londoner -has never figured at full level yet) Given Keane Ireland (Irish in namee only - complete tosser - goodbye) Dunne
Wolves - Doyle (Nice guy - as threatening as a daschund at a bulldog party) Hunt (All puff and no wind) Ward Foley Keogh (Keogh couldn't even cut it on loan to laughaloud Leeds)Everton - Coleman Duffy Gibson (Only Coleman could be rated)Fulham - Kelly Duff (Kelly suspect, Duff too cosy with his salary, edge gone)Norwich - Hoolahan Pilkington (Has Trapp ever heard of either - won't count)WBA - Long Cox Reid (Reid is the best and he's retired)Stoke - Walters Wilson Whelan Delap (Only Whelan feels the need)Sunderland - Meyler McClean Westwood OShea (McClean looks the biz, the rest are journeymen)
Wigan - McCarthy Sammon (On both counts, you are having a laugh)Newcastle - Best (Far from it!!)QPR - Kenny (Badly treated by FAI after one bad game, a super goalkeeper, if he was been in Rialto instead of Rochdael he would be a super-hero)

And apart from adding something constructive to this bit of trivia, what is it that you have to offer? Oh yes, i spelt Clark incorrectly!.. Thank you.. (I particularly like the "Best - far from it!".. Great play on his name )

Class. No doubt we'll get a big dirty 3 logo across it....wish you could buy them without the sponsor.

Looks like a cheap Dunnes Stores t shirt IMO.

Only friendly before squad named is in a few weeks.

Would be good to see Duffy,Meyler,McCLean,Pilkington and Hoolahan given a run out. Maybe a B game will be organised before th summer.

These players deserve a chance to stake a claim especially when they are arguably better than McShane,Keogh,Lawrence who will all be going to Poland.
