    Cox was always going to the Euro's. Rightfully so, considering he was one player who was desperate to play in the Summer friendlies when the likes of Stokes weren't interested.

    The longterm damage that is going to be done to Irish international football by Trappatoni is going to be huge. I reckon there is a decent chance it will outweigh the short-term relative success we're currently having.

    Leaving Coleman and McCarthy, and pretty much McClean on the bench in a friendly is ****ing disgraceful.

    Having a good lol at this thread. As deluded as you may be about knowing more than one of footballs most successful managers and greatest tacticians of all time, someone who's only lost two competitive games with an average enough team over two campaigns, I can assure you that you don't and are coming across very silly.

    The game isn't really about winning. It's about blooding new players and getting the young guys clicking. Yet, Coleman and McCarthy are still on the bench.

    Totally disagree. Football is about results. Traps got the results. That's what matter most.

    Sure who knows we could be class with all the young lads playing, maybe world beaters , also maybe pure ****e but i guess we'll never know cause trap will never ever stick them all on together

    Grand so, every club should just spend every cent they can possibly raise over the next 10 years on their squad on top players in their peak. The manager would then get results. That is what matters most after all.

    They should be happy to be allowed train with the senior squad!! :rolleyes:

    Trap should be quizzed about why McCarthy and Coleman didnt get gametime because that will come back to haunt him if we get a few injuries later on in the season.

    Totally disagree with this. This is a friendly. The result has no bearing at all. Team and player performance is the only thing to take away from a friendly. If Trap won't give players like McCarthy and Coleman(the next generation of Irish players) game time now, why the hell would we expect him to call on them when a "result" is at stake.

    i, for one, am not claiming to know more than him.

    but just because he has got all the results he has, does not mean some of his decision making should not be called into question. he is not beyond reproach. he can still do better.

    and this is a friendly. while it's important to get a result, and keep momentum going, it should be used to experiment somewhat, and blood less experienced players into the system. not just do 99% of what he always does, with players from whom he knows what he's going to get.

    that's my opinion anyway.

    And he didn't stray far from the 12 or 13 players he has been using in every game in that competition.
    But who knows who'll be injured or not by the time the Euro's come around. He should be trying to use as many players as he can in these games. Instead, we have the same players over and over.

    No one can argue with the results Trap has gotten for us. However, if his plan gets derailed, he has an untried plan b.

    One thing that pisses me off is the treatment McCarthy is getting.

    He devotes his national career to us, turns back Scotland numerous times, and gets no game time. Absolutely disgraceful how he's getting treated

    Bull****!! Ireland have good players, he chooses to play average ones. You think Paul Green is better than James McCarthy? Stephen Hunt better than Seamus Coleman?

    Tonight was the perfect time to start Coleman and McCarthy and see can they play well in internationals. We know what Whealan and Andrews bring to the table. Result tonight was never important

    Spain cutting Venezuela to shreds. 4-0 now. Beautiful football to watch.

    Soldado with 2 after coming on as a half-time sub. If we were hoping that an injured Villa an off form Torres might help our chances I think we'll have to think again...

    Nobody told Trap because he was experimenting tactically with Robbie Keane & Shane Long tonight.

    Not utilising your squad in friendlies is not preparing properly for the Euros.

    Ireland didn't play for a good 50 minutes, imagine that against Spain in the euro's. I wonder what the worst defeat for a team in the finals actually was, Ireland will leak goals like a sieve and claim that coveted prize.

    Anyone can blood new players. He's been the one that's seen the players up close and knows the score better than anybody. Not everyone can get a country with our limitations mixing it with the best teams in the world and Trap has done so.

    I don't have a problem with people bemoaning his decisions as I disagree with some of them tonight myself, but those calling him a disgrace and saying he should be sacked ought to get a hold of themselves. Talk about ungrateful.

    Some of you lot don't know how lucky we have it at the moment.

    I don't think one person in this thread has said he should be sacked.

    Almost everyone has been asking for a look at different players.

    I understand the logic of keeping an established XI together and starting the likes of Whealan. It's given us a consistency, organisation and team spirit that we may not have qualified for the Euros without.

    And despite this being a friendly I think that consistency should be continued.

    But, like others, you have to tear your hair out at the subs when we're one down. Green?? FFS! What does he offer? I understand the thinking behind the starting XI and I wouldn't change it, but subs should be used to take some risks and try something different
