Dan Crowley

None of which were his first international match so aren't comparable. 

I gave my reasons for not wanting to risk him in a big game and said I understood why others would.

He always tried to play a killer ball, even when there was no need or opportunity. I watched him recently for Cambridge, before he f**ked the club over, and he did it again and it cost a goal.

I am well aware that every player misplaces passes, it is risk and reward though and I always felt he struggled with that.

F*cked the club over  Would you get over yourself you sad moper. You hate the idea of our national team being decent so much that you feel compelled to denigrate our best players. You really have become a running joke, shoehorning poisonous negativity, bitterness, and sarcasm into every post.

Crowley, or Byrne, Connell, Cullen, or anyone else with more or less zero international experience will not start against the Swiss in midfield, one of them would probably be doing well to even make the bench. A more realistic discussion would be whether McCarthy will play instead of Whelan, but because we all know the unglamorous job those lads do, its just not really interesting enough for a discussion for the fantasy football managers. 

One or maybe even 2 of the above might play V Bulgaria alright, that's kind of the way football works, young lads play well for their club, get noticed at international level, get picked in squad, get a run as a sub in friendly, start friendly, get a run in a qualifier, become member of first team. Anyone thinking Mick McCarthy is the man to change this formula hasn't watched much of his career. 

There's no doubt Stephen Kenny won't be as risk-averse, but it is doubtful he would have any of those lads starting either- where he might differ from Mick is by having them on the bench & not be afraid to bring them on if he trusted them & deemed them good enough. I'm all for having those lads in the squad ahead of a fella like Meyler, but they have a bit to go yet before they are first team material.

Not a single one of those players is even established at championship level, Byrne didn't cut it at that level, Crowley has only just gone there (though looks to have a very good chance of playing regularly), Connell has played 10 games for an already relegated Bolton and for Cullen, it is a step up from league 1. 

What will likely happen is a few of those lads, and some of the exciting forwards we have, will get a chance in the friendlies, and maybe move up to the bench for one of the later qualifiers, not the Swiss game on September though.  A bit like what I said in the opening paragraph. Meanwhile, lads on here will continue to pick fantasy teams and provide hourly updates on Ryan Johansonn's eligibility. Whatever floats yer boat I suppose. 

Rant; Bombastic extravagant speech or use of language, or to speak or shout (maybe even write) in an angry, impassioned way. 

I don't think a single sentence in that post would qualify for those criteria.
