The Irish Football Team Thread

I'd have Fahey in the team each and every time as I said in the other thread he gives us options as his passing is sublime and he is a threat from set plays with his delivery.
I'd agree with your comments on Keogh, O'Dea and Foley though and as for Long I think him and Kevin Doyle in together would be brilliant, they'd compliment eachother alot and they work hard as well, Doyle in his normal role and Long further advanced would be awesome.

 

Moyes doesn't seem to rate Coleman as highly as everyone else. I like Gueye, but he's nowhere near as good as Coleman, so what's Moyes playing him for? If he can't get in the team now how's he going to when Arteta, Cahill and Fellaini are back?

 

Coleman is injured is he not? He was back in Donegal last weekend saying he was givin the week off cause of injury. and listening to interviews from Moyes I would get the impression he rates him very highley.

 

Coleman played against Blackburn today I believe. He might have come off the bench but I'm sure he played.

 

Yeah, but Gueye started, which is a bit strange. Unless Coleman was being rested.

 

Long is * quality, just watching the Football League Show now. Hope we get him in the summer.

Latest squad. How the * can Trap get away with not calling up Hoolahan? Same old *.

 

Another two northern lads reject the six county team to declare for the ROI. Great news that must be about 10 in the last couple of years and 8 since the CAS decision months back.

Ha, love Worthington's smacked * face when he brings up players all through the youth system and then they just ditch him for the Republic.

Go to 0:40. "Duff is suspended. Dunne... no Duff. And also O' Dear."

 

is anyone planning to come to macedonia for the macedonia-roi match on june the 4th?

 

Brilliant I love it. Great quote from Worthington saying:


"I've left voicemails, text messages and made random calls to Shane (Ferguson) but at no time did we get a reply."

Haha I love it. Enjoy coaching your little sectarian team.

 

Will you go? You will support EIRE, I am sure.

 

yeah i'm going with an irish friend of mine who is coming from belgrade to watch the match.

and yes i will support eire

 

Croatian Football Federation confirmed friendly match against Ireland at Aviva stadium in Dublin (10th August 2011).. i'm really looking forward to this match, i hope i'll go to dublin

 

Stokesy blew it big-time. Idiot. Traps just as bad because he'll remember this until the day he dies.

What's the team against NI?

 

old cretin

 

Good to see. We need fresh defensive talent. Replacements for the likes of Dunne and O'Shea will be required in the next couple of years.

 

Looks like Trap doesnt learn his lesson. He is starting Kilbane of Huddersfield ahead of Ward, a decent premier league left back who was great in his the last two games for Ireland. * starts ahead of Long but thats expected as he was decent in the last two games. Also why is Foley not starting? Trap is so annoying.

 

Ireland team to play Macedonia in Euro 2012 Group B qualifier, Skopje, Saturday, 8.30pm:
Shay Given, Stephen Kelly, Darren O'Dea, John O'Shea, Kevin Kilbane; Aidan McGeady, Glenn Whelan, Keith Andrews, Stephen Hunt; Robbie Keane, Simon *




Back to * Whelan and Andrews in midfield. We'll need creativity to defeat Macedonia, as they'll have two lines of defence - maybe three, even. We'll need big games from Hunt and McGeady coming inside to open the cracks. Hopefully * has another top performance, and Keano can do the stuff.
