You are right. Folan, Cox and Green really changed Irish football |

Probably to the same extent Christie and McGoldrick will but That wasn't really my point.

What was your point? That Trap deserved credit for unearthing 3 awful footballers and a lad who had made it clear he wanted to play for us?

I think my point was very clear. If you can't gather it from Re-reading my post, then I don't think my reiterating it now again will help your situation.
Don't worry about it though. It was merely a point and not an invitation to engage in a one to one conversation between us! Edited by Lenny82 - 19 Nov 2014 at 11:48pm |

Ah here, I know how a forum works. Clonbhoy missed my point though and I wasn't arsed spelling it out for him. All he did was take the piss out of some Irish players.

Madness. I apologise. Mr. Trap did very well calling people up too. I will try and get Eamonn to say so |

You are right Dunphy is a clown and builds up Irish managers but in the end always turns against them. However the four players you mention are hardly a ringing endorsement of Traps recruitment policy. Lawrence was a decent find alright (not sure he was much of a find) but he did play well for us for a campaign. The other three, well the less said the better although Green probably had 2 decent games for Ireland. MON has got these 2 lads on board and they had promising debuts and we will see what happens. By the way MON has not done the business so far for Ireland as in my view we look directionless and we do not seem to have a style of play or any philosophy. |

I think MON problem is, he doesn't know his best 11 or they haven't all been fit at one time to play them all together. Fingers crossed v Poland we'll have the full squad to unleash at the Pols including McGoldrick and Christie. Dunphy is just a clown, nothing more. Gives the papers something to write about, complained about Jack Charlton back in the day to.

There is a lack of a tactical philosophy too. There was obviously a system in place for Germany that worked defensively until Whelan went off. Friday night was naive. They hoped the Scots would go toe to toe physically and forget about all else, they didn't. Our midfield injuries were a massive problem but Gibson should not be in a game like that, not when he isn't fit enough. |

I think with Charlton the success we had was unprecedented. We had never qualified for anything and here we were getting to Q/F of World Cups. The football was caveman stuff but you cant complain if you had never qualified for anything before. Beggars cant be choosers. If we had a history of qualifying regularly and playing nice passing stuff then you might have a case say like Spain or Italy.
We have qualified a few times now for finals and I think the public want to see us do it with some good football now. |

Anyway Cox made it known for a long time that he was eligible to play for us, Green supposedly wrote to the FAI informing of his eligibility, Lawrence was called up before Trapattoni came along and it was Steve Staunton who ''discovered'' Caleb Folan & wanted him for Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. Trapattoni did not find anyone.

Only watched Tuesday highlights last night. Sadlier right about Keanes stuff not having an impact on the players other than giving them a laugh. Dunphy talking through his hoop as usual.

Wilson, McCarthy, Coleman and Hoolahan and many many others were first capped by Trap. AFAIK about 52 players played under Trap. |

When Sammon was capped for Ireland he was, at that time the highest scoring Ireland person AFAIK.
