Decision day looms on loan duo Sullivan and Kiernan

YEOVIL Town will make a decision on the future of loan duo John Sullivan and Rob Kiernan by the weekend.
Millwall keeper Sullivan and Watford defender Kiernan are coming to the end of their month’s spell at Huish Park.
Glovers’ manager Terry Skiverton said he was discussing with chief executive Martyn Starnes whether to extend their deals, and added there was still scope to add another player to his squad.
Sullivan has started all three of Yeovil’s matches so far this season, while Kiernan has made substitute appearances in both of the Glovers’ npower League One games.
Skiverton said: “We are in a good position at the moment and we still have a little bit left over for one more so we will wait and see what happens with that.
“Hopefully this week we will be sorting out the futures of the two boys on loan. I am discussing it with Martyn and by the weekend we will have a decision.”

the more the better  there are some gaps to cover up,  O'Shea, Dunne, Robbie Keane are not perennial players,  a keeper like Given is not a problem check the great Faryd MondragĂłn former Galatasaray keeper at Colombia, 42 and back to the national team. 

The outer replacements are still raw, but it is up to the managerial staff to make it work, smoothly.

Regarding this Kiernan fellow, I think he can play 1st center back  2nd center back in a back 4 defence, and also as a holding defensive midfielder as the Brazilians and Portuguese use to  call  cabeça-de-area (holding midfielder) to protect a back 4.

Martin O Neill was at Wigan game last night and Keane was at Wigan match last weekend. Probably looking at McClean but Kiernan might be looked at with a view of possible call up. From what I hear has been putting in good performances. Voted man of the match by Wigan fans against Leeds and came in for praise the week before from the manager. However he needs to keep it going and as it is early days still.

If Rob Kiernan ends up playing very well in the SPL next season then for sure, then start touting him for a call up but playing well against part time opposition against the likes of Alloa and Dumbarton is hardly a good barometer.

This will be the first chance a lot of YBIG members (ROI supporters supposedly) get to watch Rob Kieran play for Rangers. Watch this guy, he has as much potential as Shane Duffy for Ireland as I've said before, I'm looking forward to seeing him match v Leigh Griffiths. Himself and Wilson have built a great partnership together and next season Kieran could make a real push competing for the SPL title, and place on our squad.

He's English born, played at Watfords youth academy and then Wigan/Birmingham were he began to make an impression he's captained Ireland at u19/u21. A lot of Irish supporters would prefer we don't have a Glasgow Rangers international one day, I'm quite the opposite (As a celtic fan) its a sign of the times. I really hope Rob pushes on next season and makes an impression on the SPL.

He only started to show potential at Birmingham, until then like a lot of young players he was loaned thats were you have got that number from Rangers are his third parent club. 

If I was a 24 year old looking to kickstart my career, an ex manager (with pedigree) in Warburton wanted to take me to a project were success success would follow you'd be an absolute idiot to turn it down. Next year he'll be playing SPL (the same SPL Adam Rooney/Johnny Hayes play in and both were over 25 when they were called up infact 27/28) Kieran playing first team football in the SPL contesting Celtic season which they will is far better then having Alex Pearce, Green hopefully he now kicks on and pushes for a green jersey in the years ahead, Yes a Glasgow Rangers player playing for the Republic of Ireland Shocked 

That post has a sectarian sectarian undercurrent to it due to his club, surely we're better then that. Again Good Luck Rob Thumbs Up

The club whose polices were not to sign Catholics, the club whose star guest for the recent Gascoigne gig was Johnny Adair, the same club whose fans sing about glorifying murder Rob's fellow countrymen?

He chased the money rather stay and compete at a higher level in the English championships thus making him a mercenary.

Most importantly, Ireland has probably about 15 or more players playing at a higher level than him.

Who gives a flying fcuk who he plays for or what his motivations are, if the move ends up giving him a platform to display his potential and produces another decent option for our national team, that's the only pertinent consideration. All of the other childish, insular sh*te is utterly irrelevant. We're picking footballers, not cultural martyrs.

He has been superb today (so far), utterly brilliant. Composed on the ball, aerially sound and the ability to switch possession and shut down Griffiths, he's intercepted two passes and blocked another.

Congratulions Rob Kiernan, absolutely flawless today. Shut down the SPLs top striker proved the doubters wrong from your own country. Push on for the Green jersey next season, if Johnny Hayes can play for Ireland so can this man. Watched every game I could this season he was involved his composure on the ball is superb among other qualities.

Ill admit to playing Devil's Advocate here, but why should that be an absolute rule? Say of argument sake they return to the PL, and Scottish League Football returns to where it was just over a decade ago, and an Irish striker signs for Rangers and bangs home a load of goals, and does so too in the Champions League? A far-fetched possibility yet, but why should any Irish manager in their right mind spun such a player?

As for Irish players playing for Rangers? I'd rather they didn't, a scum club, bigoted to the core and supported by sectarian cretins - as could be heard throughout today's game.

Doubt it's going to be a problem in this instance anyhow as I doubt Kiernan is anywhere near the level required to play international football for us.

I agree that most players in the SPL wouldn't be good enough to play for us but if a player is one of the best in the SPL then he should be good enough to play for us.
After all, O' Neill is playing guys who are not first choice in championship sides in England.I accept we have to see how Kiernan does in the SPL next season first though.

He was in the crowd earlier going crazy, fairplay to the lad. 
He took a brave decision to move to Glasgow Rangers fully aware he plays for the Republic of Ireland and gets a tri colour beside his name, never mind the SPL this lad is playing in Europe next season for Rangers as they will win the Scottish Cup. He went off injured today also, if you go on followfollow.com theres numerous lads calling him the best CB in Scotland, human wall among other things, they don't give two fiddlers f**ks he plays for us, and I like most don't care if he's captain of Glasgow Rangers. 

He'll be our only defender in a European competition I believe LOL I've raved about this lad all year, how Rangers play makes his job a nightmare at times the expansive style of play. I don't know were on earth 15 players ahead of him comes from either, he's right behind Duffy.  If he's playing in the Europa League next season, O'Neill calls him up simple as that from my perspective he's comfortable on the ball you may of noticed Rangers play every kick out short they have all season Kiernan or Wilson usually receive it and play it out thats what we crave apparently lads who don't hoof it, he's slick with his passing and he's brave, aerially immense. 
I'm basing my opinion on hours worth of watching Glasgow Rangers this season, not one game and a few facts on wikipedia. 

I could genuinely see Kiernan,Clark and Duffy fighting it out for the centre back pairing in the future.

Rob Kiernan, Irelands own Rangers hero today Thumbs Up

He shut down Leigh Griffiths today, give the guy some credit. If he was a Celtic player he'd be the next big thing, as bad as the scottish league is.. its higher than whats in Cyprus and Ireland. Next season Rangers will be top or second in the SPL, if Johnny Hayes is good enough with a weaker team why isn't Robbie  because he plays for Rangers? Get real, next season he'll be smashing on the door for a call up we moan about hoof ball on this forum Robbie Kiernan will not hoof that ball.

Apologies Frank LOL follow follow has much better pieces on Robbie Kiernan, that piece only shows him doing the bouncy really.

I said earlier that the spl is a fading league. Players in the championship in England have much stronger credentials to play for us than those in the spl.

You're wrong about him playing for Celtic making any difference. When stokes was playing well for them very very few people were calling for his inclusion. It's not a high level of football anymore and certainly not a level to push ones credentials for international football. The recent additions to the Irish squad from the spl won't get within asses roar of the Euro squad. Also he currently plays in a league that has part time clubs so not much different than either of the Irish leagues.

One game against possibly the worst Celtic team of a generation and you go on about him marking Leigh Griffiths like he is Dixie Dean. Griffiths can't even get close to the Scotland side.

Anyway I've no time to waste talking with bi polar wannabe JP McManus internet Walter Mitty type characters so best of luck to you.

Just a few things (really dont know why im bothering but not much else to do)
Wouldnt call his move a brave one as he effectively went for the money, a brave move is what williams and carruthers did by refusing new contracts with a premier league club to move to league one to guarantee game time or jack byrne moving to a holland instead of staying in city u21s.
Your first post about him was in february so dont know how youve raved about him all year
Theres a reason he isnt at celtic and is in scottish league 1
There will also be dundalk rovers cork and pats defenders in europe next season so he is not the only irish defender playing in europe as they wont do much worse than rangers 
"He shut down leigh griffiths" sorry but if that is the standard to get an irish call up than we should just stop
Its amazing with your full time 'job' Wink that you have managed to go to local gaa games as well as county ones, ulster rugby games, bayern ireland celtic and united games as well as oxford and being able to watch hours upon hours of rangers as well as whatever other clubs people you follow as the list is pretty big.
Dont think the scottish league is higher than cypriot league as according to the uefa coefficient which judge how the clubs get on in europe the cypriot league is 19th while the scottish league is 25th
He is also behind clark, wilson, mcshane, duffy, keogh, o shea(if he doesnt retire), Pearce so while he might make a few extended squads he wont be forcing himself into contention while he is playing in scotland

It doesn't end, my life is brought into question again on a forum about Robbie Kiernan. Yes, I attend games of those clubs, a few times a year? LOL  I hold my hands up I only go to big games due to work. If I'm sitting in a hotel in New York or wherever believe it or not there is internet I can watch games if its on my mac if I'm home i'll go to a rugby game/gaa with my awl man I get my roster in advance I know when I'm off. If theres a big game on and I'm off and the missus has nothing planned me and a friend will call up or go for a round of golf I have that luxury as I've no kids, in the next 10 years that might all change. It's really not that extraordinary, yet its dramatised on here as if I'm Jordan Belfort mixed with Walter Mitty, which is fair enough if you think that I'll not be losing any sleep.

We'll agree to disagree on the prospects of Rob Kiernan. As for my life, would yous' ever all give over, as I've said numerous times, a number on here know me (somehow) feel free to say hello in France!

Rangers would dispatch Dundalk with relative ease. Warburton has built himself a fairly decent team there, and Kiernan is a big part of that. Will he ever be good enough for Ireland? Who knows, but he's an option to look out for in the future.

I genuinely don't know about that. Scottish football has gone very south very fast.
 
Is this guy good enough? Time will tell, worth scouting and bringing into the training fold. But don't be hanging all our hopes on him yet.

Well apart from SByrne I don't think anyone is "pinning their hopes" on Kiernan, merely pointing out that it's hardly rational to completely discount him.

As for the Dundalk/Rangers comparison, I suppose it's not really important, but looking even at Rangers goalkeeper and defence which is made up of Foderingham, Tavernier, Kiernan, Wilson and Wallace, I think they're significantly better than what any Irish team could offer. Who knows though, it's not a testable hypothesis.

True, but that's not really the important comparison. Barring Celtic, the games Kiernan has been having a good season in have been against teams that both Dundalk and Rangers would beat handily.

He's been utter sh*te today. Anthony Stokes has tore him apart, for the first goal I'm quite confident I'd of defended better or at least got a tackle in!

Rob Kiernan has played for us and only us, so he's more than just "eligible". He's captained our underage sides more than once. I haven't seen much of him play, but let's be accurate. I don't think he's knocking on the door of the senior set up, but I wouldn't sh*t my pants if he got a call up.
