TObe fair, there's only so many hours in the day. If I started following the Championship the same way I follow other leagues, god knows what would suffer.

Bet they know when to use the word have though.

Think it has all come a bit soon for Hogan, another month or two of form half as good and he couldn't have been ignored. Would liked to have seen a new forward in though, we are lacking options. Well done to O'Dowda!

think its fair enough that this squad is focused on Euro's rather than blooding players for the future. on that basis u would have to assume that all players called up including odowda (who i have never seen play) have some chance of making the squad.

re dan crowley.....he probably can't be in the squad anyway as paperwork to change countries takes time (if he has even decided to join us). 

re inviting lads to train with them i.e. jack byrne - at least he is being straight up and saying "i dont see u making the euro squad" (not saying i agree or otherwise) but u are the future.

will be an interesting squad when finalised. needs to have a couple of utility players and then a couple that can give u something different.....and maybe something new ie odowda?

It's not me it's you:-)

No chance of much experimentation with the strikers with the squad for Holland game. With the euros only around the corner the most important thing is to make sure that your stalwarts are there, getting minutes on the pitch and getting chances in front of goal.

The next squad Ireland pick after the Euros will be very different to what we are used to I would say.

Dont know much about O'Dowda but MON must think highly of him to bring him along. Possibly sees him as a key contributor on the next campaign? Saying that though MON will probably cut him before the squad meets up.

Absolutely delighted to see O'Dowda called up, class oozes from this guy would have no problem in a lower PL side or high championship side coming from league 2. 

I'd of liked to off seen Crawley called up also, but he's barely played needs to make an impact somewhere playing first team football.

I'd of liked to off seen Mason or Scott Hogan called up for the training squad as id imagine one or both of them will be in the squad that goes to Serbia.

Because he's played around 10 games in league 1.

Delighted to see Callum O'Dowda given recognition. Looks a terrific player!

Shame about Jack Byrne not being in it tho.

No matter what anyone says, there are a handful of players in the squad who offer much less than Byrne.

Wouldnt be bringing Byrne to France but I'd liked to have seen him get a proper opportunity to show what he can do at least.

Think I heard that Alan Browne was invited to train with the squad maybe Byrne was too.

Delighted he's getting O'Dowda involved. Anytime I've seem him live he's been class and I'd fully expect him to move up the leagues this summer's. Obviously won't go to France but good for the future. On the same token it's strange he hasn't gotten Byrne involved
