I think we should avoid calling up the likes of Colins and Judge, there are already better players, playing at higher levels in the 21s.

In all honesty, who else does he call up? Apparently Knight and O'Shea from the 21s have already been contacted. There must be more to the Obafemi thing. You'd think now of all times he should be called up.

Expect James Collins and Jimmy Dunne to get called up too. Michael Duffy from Dundalk could be an outside bet.

Also, can Idah and Connolly come back into contention?

Collins should be called up I agree, he will score given the opportunity. 

LOL

I love this forum.

I’m crying here 
 

We should also call up Conor Sammon - he would net a shoal of goals

If you mean Obafemi, he isn't playing at any level he's benchwarmer. And he's very unproven, even Kenny doesn't rate him too highly.

Who are you referring to here ? 

The U21s have the Italy match also, hardly fair to ruin their chances for a few lads who probably won't play

That would be O'Shea, Knight, Smallbone, Obafemi, Masterson and Collins.

We'll never have a better chance to integrate some of these lads into a senior squad for a competitive game. 

Call them up and give ourselves options for future games,  with Covid here to stay for a few months we're going to need as big a playing pool as possible.

Hopefully we can get Connolly and Idah back too.
Couldn’t agree more, get the work experience lads practiced in the art of sitting in the correct seats on an aeroplane.

I'd be surpised if their game vs Italy takes place now.

Knight plays a similar position to Judge at a higher level.

Obafemi has played a number of Premier League games and has scored at that level. Collins will never do that.

He has a lot in common with the people there.  He'd feel at ease amongst the finns.

Folan. Think he did alright when he came on vs Italy in Bari. Don't think he started that game from what I remember. 

For a fairly tall fella, I don't remember Sammon winning anything in the air. It wasn't for lack of trying but he was nowhere near good enough for international level. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Folan won a header which set up Robbie's equaliser against Italy so I'm going to say him. Well bigger impact anyway.

I'm confident we are due to click and no reason it won't happen this Wednesday.
Tomorrow should shed some light on the makeup of the squad and answer the Connolly/Idah question.
If both are available I'd say they will start so it's a big call.

I thought they went back to their clubs no? I assume they're out for Wednesday.

FAI looking into it with UEFA if they can become available due to the test being a false positive.

Doubt their clubs would be all that happy though

I would say call ups and phone calls will have gone out just after the game as if they need to be in Dublin in the morning as not sure when the team fly out

Yeah, the FAI are looking into the situation with the two lads I believe.
I agree the main issue would be with their clubs - I'd say clubs are lookin on in some distress at what is unfolding here.
Having sad that, I can see no health reasons why they should not be allowed join up.

If we got those two back, and Knight and O'Shea, I'd say we will be looking good for Wednesday and I'd say all would start bar Knight.

I'd say you could be right.
