Kilbane's reaction sort of gave it away, he just stood there with his hands on his head not giving out to anyone, especially St Ledger. I think he knew he fooked up. |

kilbane - close to record number of caps, St Ledger on his competitive debut? -Kilbane needed to, and should have dealt with it. whatever about him not dealing withthe ball, he was'nt even aware of the bulgarian behind him which i suppose is understandable as left full is not his natural position...
I think Kilbane is a hero, but on a side note,what is his best position? - I remember a few superb performances for us in the middle of the park..

I won't say too much on this matter about Kilbane but IF his legs are gone then Trap should not be accomodating him if he can't hack it at international level anymore.
Don't get me wrong I think Kilbane has been a great servant and seems like a great person BUT we are trying to make a World Cup here lads, no time to be sentimental towards any individual. |

Totally agree Sono- Kilbane has been a great servant to the Irish international team but if hes past it hes past it- cant afford anymore defensive errors- this is a results game- our defence must be water tight if were to have any hope of making SA

Agree completely lads, Kilbane has served the green jersey excellently over the years and Trap should try some new blood at left back for the Australia and South Africa friendlies.
You could clearly see at the game on Saturday that the Bulgarians were pumping loads of high balls in towards the left side of our defence with Kilbane and St Ledger there, the last thing we need is Pirlo doing the same come october

I absolutely love Killer, a legend in the green jersey, but he wouldnt be in my back 4 anymore. As someone already posted, IMO our most solid back 4 would be;
Finnan Dunne St Ledger O'Shea Just need all of those lads fit and injury free... |

Would be sad to see, but given our lack of depth in the our squad, i would hope he makes it. Even if Trap does drop him for the rest of the games, Killer, with his experience and attitude, has to go to South Africa if we make it.

Jumpin the gun a bit lads..
It was a momentary lapse on Killers part and he managed to get it out of his head and was solid for the rest of the game.
Let us not forget he is not a natural left back and to write him off at 32 is OTT. Finnan is the very same age, in fact older i think.
I admit with a fit back four, as previously stated, it would be difficult for him to secure a starting place but lets not write him off as a starter just yet.
More to come from Killer

If we make it to Africa he will come for his experience to share with the younger players, he would not be coming as a starter. McG he is getting on and can't get into his natural position, as I have already said we cannot accomodate him especially with costly errors. |

Ward? Ah c'mon i think you're the one getting carried away BSM! he's nowhere near the squad at the moment.
Why play O'Shea centre half when St Ledger hasnt put a foot wrong so far? Why change it? Stick him in the centre until he does a McShane which hopefully will never happen. |

2 games, even if one was only a friendly. If he can do a job against a very decent Bulgarian side in as hostile a venue as you will ever experience, then i dont think the fella deserves to be dropped and extremely doubt he will be...

I agree with the Honeymonster . . . Right back has been a problem for us and with The Sledge coming in and doin a comfortable job for us at centre half you can bet your bottom dollar trap will leave Josh out there . .
Could do with a bit of help at left full but maybe thats being a bit greedy !

100% with HM here..why drop him when he's played so well in the 2 games..i wasnt comfortable with breaking up the dunne - o'shea partnership but it worked perfectly..
bottom line is we have a lot more options now than we did 3 weeks ago in our back 4..
