Mcshame and wheelan surely theres better out there

Crap defence,whelan not up to it, not filled with too much confidence here

And why didn’t we play these lads in the last game of the Europeans!

Some awful players going to drag down the few decent players we have to there level. Mc Shane,Kelly,whelan,O Dea,simply not good enough for international team, not there fault though, they try their best.As for the majority of the subs, just useless and embarrassing.

Get behind them!

All quick to criticise the lads aren’t we. Sure it is the easy thing to do. These are decent pros representing their country. Support them and look forward to the future and stop the old nonsense of slagging for sake of it.

Coleman will be replacing mcshane in the squad for rio and Whelan won’t start any more as Gibson will push him out. With Gibson in there that would be a quality midfield. Shay will be back in 6 months

We need to get Gary Waddock in as technical director

McShane, Kelly and whelan should not be let wear an Irish jersey. Inspires as much enthusiasm as a yeast infected spud.

Not a bad team. O’Dea needs games. I think he has potential. Whelan might be better suited to sitting a little deeper and not having to cover as much ground what with the youthful energy of the rest of the midfield. I think McShane deserves another chance too. He had a good season last season. Kelly is the weak link imo. Not to worry, we have plenty coming through.

Try to stay positive fellow fans. The future is not as bleak as you think if you lower your expectations to realistic levels. Qualifying for tournaments is punching above our weight. Don’t expect miracles.

We will always have Sopot.

Has anyone ever seen McGeady do anything decent on the pitch?

4 4 2? How many teams play 442 these days? Man Utd do but hardly have a Rooney type player to drop off the main striker.

We need 433 with McCarthy as a ball playing holding midfielder then Gibson and whoever as the third midfielder. McGeady and McClean on the wings with Shane long up the middle.

It just isn’t going to happen however. Whats the point in having all our youth teams playing 433 when we abandon the idea at senior level. We beat Estonia to qualify and haven’t beaten a team ranked higher than us since 2001. Things need to change.

Awful team….

Mcshane!!

Joey O Brien had a great season with west ham (post injury) and has premier league experience. Maybe trap wants mcshane to cover all positions :)

McShane?!? Oh dear God! We.Have.No.Hope!

Yawn!

How the hell can u leave Coleman Houlihan pilkington out… Trap will u ever wake up and get rid of Whelan, mcshane and o dea
