Republic of Ireland Team 2023/24 [old thread]

U21s squad was named yesterday. Crawford needs to be asked about Tyler Goodrham. Hasn't been called up since the first round of games last September when he got injured in camp.

Goalkeepers:

Tiernan Brooks (Notts County), Killian Cahill (Brighton & Hove Albion), Josh Keeley (Tottenham Hotspur)

Defenders:

James Abankwah (Udinese), Sam Curtis (Sheffield United), Anselmo Garcia MacNulty (PEC Zwolle), Bosun Lawal (Celtic), Alex Murphy (Newcastle United), Connor O’Brien (Accrington Stanley), Connor O’Riordan (Blackburn Rovers), Sean Roughan (Lincoln City)

Midfielders:

Baba Adeeko (Wigan Athletic), Matt Healy (Royal Francs Borains), Joe Hodge (Wolves), Andrew Moran (Brighton & Hove Albion), Conan Noonan (Shamrock Rovers), Rocco Vata (Celtic)

Forwards:

Sinclair Armstrong (QPR), Aidomo Emakhu (Millwall), Calum Kavanagh (Bradford City), Johnny Kenny (Shamrock Rovers, on loan from Celtic), Mark O’Mahony (Brighton & Hove Albion), Ollie O’Neill (Leyton Orient), Armstrong Oko-Flex (FC Zurich), Tony Springett (Norwich City).

Tayo Adaramola, Zak Gilsenan, Sean Grehan, Killian Phillips, and Andrew Wogan are ruled out of the trip with the latter due to sit the Leaving Cert.

My 2 cents is JOS is playing to win a contract and maybe not doing whats best for the squad this summer. Now whether a permanent manager would have picked him we will never know but there is no logic in reality in picking Stevens and then mentioning McClean is kinda embarrassing.

I hope Ireland lose these matches because I don't want O Shea to get the job.

He's probably on great money in Saudi Arabia. Why would he go for Ireland for peanuts.

That is without a doubt. 4 matches wasted as if had the job he could experiment and figure put his best team and formations. If he doesn't get the job then anything he learned is lost. As is he will take no risks with the prospect of a permanent deal if he beats Hungary.

Fairly farcical situation 7 months after previous manage left.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I hope we lose as I will never want to see an Irish football team lose but I can see the reasoning if it will force to FAI to make a ******* decision.

I am hearing than Canham is one of the few in there that actually has a clue what he is at .

Ugh Duffy starting instead of giving O'Brien a start after a great season in Ligue 1. Very disappointing.

Coleman also starting at CB it looks like.

Ive no major issue with Doherty or Brady as the obvious alternatives aren't that obvious. Coleman and Duffy starting in a 3 is daft when you've O'Brien available though.

Yep O'brien and Scales should be starting. Both had a great season and will be involved in European football next season for their clubs.

The line up tells me I don't won't JOS on a permanent basis.

We already know, but what a cock up the manager appointment has been by the lads in the FAI

33 mins gone now and its been brutal stuff.

Idah is definitely in form at least

Great cross, probably the first one all night and Bang! IDAH

No way you get that space in a competitive game

If we conceded a goal like that, I'd be horrified. Nobody picked up Smallbone and Idah was completely free for the header. Amateurish. It's good from our perspective, but jeez.

And our lead lasted all of what, 3 minutes.
