Can you imagine dunphy if these guys dont go. His head will explode.

If Trap ignores McClean for the finals he deserves a clip on the ear.

Whatever about being loyal to those who got us to the Finals, there is always room to add strength to the squad.
It’s always good for squad morale when new talent is introduced.

How the funk would the papers know? They’d want to stop stirring sh1t! Come on the boys in green.

The pressure been hyped on him is ridiculous alright. But I think the reason why there was such a big cheer for him was because it was such a patethic game. You’d nearly want to get paid to watch an irish friendly these days. We got torn apart by a pretty average team, but they can string passes together and the atmosphere was brutal. He should have started McLean and McCarthy- I think it’s fair to say we know what Andrews, whelan and mcgeady bring to the table. We don’t know how the other two lads might fit in there. They could be brutal or excellent, but let’s find out. The Mexican wave and mcleans introduction said it all about the game. There’s no buzz to our play. Like fair play to trap, he got us to a major championship with a huge slice of luck(not been beaten by Russia away and drawing Estonia) but now the monkeys off our back they should go out there and play with a bit of freedom!

I’d hope Trap and FAI are not on collision course like Capello and FA regarding player selection. While it’s been effective in getting us to the Euro’s our style of play is not good to watch. Delaney & Co. need to fill Lansdowne and the fans want to see the team having a go especially when at home. McCleans introduction got the biggest cheer of the night on Wed.

I hope we don’t get into The ScumSun gutter tabloid bullshit like across the water. Trap is the boss, support the team and anyone that wears the jersey.

its like Trap says. Nothing is set in stone. Still another friendly and plenty of club games between now and May 29. Deep breaths everyone. Hopefully McClean can build on his 15 games played in the EPL and can push hard against the established pros who got Ireland to the Euros

Paul green over mc carthy or mclean..come on trap. Every team brings one or two wildcards to major tournaments cause we might need a game changer at some stage. Both players are playing in the premiership, only a few weeks ago Paul green said he thought trap had forgotten about him after his injury and loss of form. If I were McCarthy and Mcclean I’d be wondering if I made the right decision. Let’s hope these two play well for the rest of the season and that trap sees some sense. We need every decent player that’s Irish out there.

It is important not to hype young players up too much but this will be a huge mistake for Trap. Take him anyway and give him a few games.

It won’t be surprising if he’s not included. Trap works a system and he picks players that suit the system. This is demonstrated by the fact that we never get to see the best 11 players on the pitch at the same time. While its great that we’re in a major tournament, Traps attitude towards selection will negatively impact any future talented players such as McCarthy, McClean and Coleman.

Sounds like a asehole that was shooting mouth of earlier in the week,,,,,, papers have destroyed good coaches to me I’d love to see Martin o niell take the job think he’d do wonders for the job,,,, Mick mc carthy done a good job for us but never had a chance after good old Roy ,,,,,but that’s just what I think ,,,, what ever happens I’d love to see us do well just to see the ppl of this land to smile and cheer just for a couple of week ,,,,, we need it with all the doom and gloom

Unbelievably ignorant if true! Give the lad a chance!

Trap done really good to settle the team down and got much needed results after the Kerr and Staunton era.Were in the Euro 2012 even though it isn’t the easiest group.
Trap as manger of Ireland had more positive’s then negatives on our team so far .
On the negatives he can’t ignore the the up and coming young talent,Select the youth in some friendlies.I watched the Ireland match last Wednesday and it was like paint drying,then you have Pilkington and Hoolahan that should in my eyes be called up,This is Trap’s down fall our youth and selection of players.

if he stands a chance of being as good as ppl reckon he can be, this would be invaluable experience for the kid! trap reckons he’s.one for the nxt tournament or even the nxt euro campaign, if he doesnt have experience of being at a big tournament his chances of losing his edge at the nxt one are too high! we dont want to see this guy mismanaged like ste ireland! (altho i am aware that ireland is a looper on top of everything else! ;-) )

You’ll never win anything with kids!!!!! Seriously though – if he’s good enough he’s old enough. Shame he’s not a Toon player but can’t have everything !!!

I’ll support Ireland when they give Ian Holloway the job.
