Currently Brian Murphy is easily the best player in the league and without a doubt should be in the squad.

If there were then one or two injuries, I would say that Joe Gamble, Gary Deegan, Brian Shelley and Ger O'Brien would be the league's other players that could do a job.

If the likes of Peter Thomson are good enough to sore against the likes of Georgia who our current panel had a lot of problems with, it suggests the gap isnt as big as you think.

If these players were playing in England do you think that people would be posting saying they should be in squads?or is it because they are playing in the LOI that LOI fans want them in the squad to give the league some sort of recognition?

hes not even saying they should be in the squad, he is saying if a few players were injured.

The only one he thinks is up to it is Murphy.

Personally id love to see a couple of the players in the squad but the only way of KNOWING if they are good enough is if they are performing well in the Championship at least.
 
I think Fahey will get capped but I think its important to realise that he will become a better player playing for Birmingham for 6 months than he would have playing in the LOI.
 
When players leave Ireland they generally go to a better standard of football,training,facilities,attitudes,theres more pressure to perform,bigger crowds.So they will undoubtably improve as players.A lot of peoples point when it comes to LOI players is that "how do they suddenly become good enough just by going to England".I think there would be almost immediate improvement when you go away.

Couldnt agree more.
 
I am not bashing the league, i just think it devalues the cap and would be embarrassing for a player to get a token call up just cos he plays over here.
 
Everyone hammered Stan for playing Lapira but want substandard players from LOI to get into the squad just because they play here.
 
Jason Byrnes  one minute cap against Poland was embarrassing IMHO

If he was called in to the squad for an upcoming game he would not look out of place at all.
I am not trying to undermine or talk down the achievement of any Irish Keeper this season
Its not an us against them debate which you seem to think it is i just think he is good enough for the squad regardless of what league he is playing in .As for Heary probably a little harsh that he never got a cap over the years when you look at some of the jokers that have but if i was picking a squad tomorrow he would not be one that springs to mind for Right full

Have you seen much of Westwood  at Coventry ?

i think deegan could be a very good player,if he adds goals to his game id say he has the potential to do very well..
