International break

[sports rehab]

From what I can see, Horgan on the bench but didnt play on Tues night.

Mavididi not starting OR on the bench for under 20's - who had a much changed team out.

Horgan should therefore be 'fit' and not tired for Sat (still on bench though).

Stephy ? Was he totally missing because he picked up a knock in the 3 - 0 win or in training, OR was he just one of a few totally rested. ?

Lets hope its the 2nd, but with our luck he will have got injured days after the window closed......

As for ROI - losing at home serves them right for not selecting Maguire and Browne (who are playing regular) and taking Daryl who isnt....

Nowt against ROI but I would prefer Wales to qualify for Russia than them - so that 'our Irish lads' get a summer break.....

Maxi can go with Wales but the Cork lads need a rest next summer!

I'd rather the Irish went. I wanted Wales to do well in the Euro's, having 3 British sides there was good to see, until Wales celebrated like they'd won it when England lost. Since then i want them to lose.

Totally agree on the Horgan Maguire thing. Why take the player who ain't playing and go with Mgoldrick over Maguire.

Martin O'Neill does seem to be over loyal to players who have done it for him in the past. You'll often see players who have hardly played for their clubs playing for Ireland. It also seems to take ages for the younger players to come in under him. This international break has probably cost Ireland the chance of the play offs, 1 point is a really poor return.
