Ireland will be in that squad, Robbie was the main instigator for all the crap when he was there and they are playing quality together so maybe they have kissed and made up, if Dunne Given and Keane(3most important players) were to give their blessing then that would do for me, the chap is pure class which we don't have simple as. |

So what about the player who he would replace in the squad- imagine how pissed off he will be after travelling all over europe including going to the arsehole of armenia and slovakia only to be told that a player that walked out on the team with a pathetic made up excuse 5 years ago is taking your place? ------------- It took City 44 years to win the league and 10 months to lose it |

Sono, your loyalty to Villa is palpable and understandable but FFS.........
How can you credibly state that Robbie was the "instigator for all the crap"? All the crap was at Ireland's door from the foolish fibs in Slovkia which we forgave him for given the miscarriage. What happened after that is crap all the way from Ireland and his pathetic crying about being bullied about his hair. For Jaysus sake, everyone gets stick in football at every level, what made him so precious and different? Then Don Givens rightly left him out cos Givens wouldn't put up with his crap. Then he himself said he didn't miss international football and then called Trap arrogant!!!
No doubting his talent, but equally no doubting his disrespect to the FAI, the other Managers (he seems to fall out with almost every manager) and to the Irish people most of all. There's great unity in the panel that qualified, Trap isn't gonna risk tearing that apart my making the "one phone call". He won't be on that plane unless he's going out to watch the games in disguise. He can go and sh*te. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

Like I said FW if the 3 mentioned above were to accept him which it looks like they have it would be good enough for me. Not saying he hasn't acted the bollox but he wasn't the first and certainly wouldn't be the last, as I said him and Robbie seem to be playing brilliant together which is fukin sickening to see and think what could have been, i don't really think he will make it but I certainly wouldn't rule it out either. |

| Yeah because the Villa dressing room is a real harmonious dressing room at the moment. He is a rotten apple in a barrell and no matter how much talent he has he will rot out a dressing room. Our squad are united together and lads trust each other, that is an underated quality in the modern game. When you match that to unreal talent you get Barca, but even ifyou have lesser talent you can still go far with a unified purpose and everybody pulling in the same direction and leaving their personal problems at home. |

Yes I would support him coming back if it was all sorted in the background HB what's your problem? You never made mistakes and apologized after and moved on? Some things go on longer than others but I know I have made some pretty big ones but have managed to mend it over time, Ireland if he is interested should be given same opportunity if Trap wants him that is. |

So you just backed up my point here Baldy, dressing room is shocking at the minute yet he seems to be getting on with the whole team including all the Irish boys, only going on body language and play on pitch but if him and Robbie really had problems they would not be linking up and celebrating goals together, Robbie is a big factor in all of this I reckon, only my opinion though, never said it was right but it's a real shame he fuked this all up the lad is an excellent ball player and really adds something to that villa side, they were brutal in midfield second half Sunday when he was taken off. |

Yeah . Ye can't be stuck in the past . Im sure we will see him come back in at some stage but the terms and the timing of his introduction is the key issue. Firstly, he's not gonna get any phonecall. If he wants to play for us he has to let it be known directly to Trap first and foremost. He would be a great addition to the squad but not for the Euros. If he came in as BSM said the shape of the team would have to change. That would be silly with only 3 friendlies before the games begin. The system in place got us there and should/will be the system thats played. It would crucify the spirit of the team if SI was to saunter into the starting 11 for our biggest games in 10 years. He will be back though for the World Cup qualifiers im sure of it simply because he plays club football with our 3 most senior players ... ------------- l hear you are a racist now, father ? |

Aston Villa: Stephen Ireland eyes Ireland return for Euros
http://www.birminghampost.net/midlands-birmingham-sport/west-midlands-sports/aston-villa-fc/#sitelife-commentsWidget-bottom" rel="nofollow -  Stephen Ireland Stephen Ireland could make a shock return to the Ireland fold after his fiancee called it his "unfinished dream". Ireland who has been in fine form for Aston Villa this season last played for Ireland in 2007 amidst controversy over a fabricated 'dead' relative. His fiancee Jessica Lawlor speaking to the Irish Sun claimed he ws older and wiser now: "I'd love for him to play in the Euros, so fingers crossed that something will work out - there's still time." "There's no news on the that front at the moment but at the end of the day it has got to come from Stephen and it has got to come from them. I can't answer for Stephen but if or when a phone call comes, it has to be his decision. "He has a lot to prove when it comes to Ireland - he is a lot older and more mature now. I think he could handle it all better. In my opinion he played his best and was at his happiest with Ireland." One thing is for sure if he keeps up his current form Giovanni Trapattoni could find it impossible to ignore him. |

only after the euro's.
Firstly of all there is still no quote from him. She is looking for as much publicity as possible because she isnt talented enough to do anything other than stand in front of a camera and she needs as much exposure as possible
Secondly, what idiot in their right mind regardless of how good he is would go and chase him. He left. Trap met him and asked him would he play. He said no. why in the name of jaysus is it up to Trap go after him

I 100% agree with mistakes can be made and you forgive and forget. However, He has a complete lack of respect for everything the Ireland team stands for. Trap and Staunton both tried to make there peace with him and get him to come onboard and he rejected the opportunity numerous times. He is playing the Irish public via the media like some sort of circus. Players past and present all think he is an oddball. His presence would be bad for morale and would be sending out the wrong message to players. His inclusion would cause unrest in the squad - I am sure a few players would have issue with his inclusion (Hunt for instance). In relation to footballing matters - I don't see where he would fit into our system. Even if the system were to change I would prefer to call up Hoolahan to the squad. He has also really done f**k all in the last 2 years or so - he has very brief spells of good form and will go off the radar again. Overall I just think it would be a bad move for everyone concerned. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Backing this fooker up in any shape or form is ridiculous. He fell out with Kerr at underage level, made a fool of Stan who pulled out the stops to fly him home at Grannygate, threw a wobbly when Don Givens left him out when Givens had temporary charge and as I said earlier, said Trap was "arrogant". Then was seen mouthing F off at Big 'Eck the weekend when his gaffer berated him over something during last Sunday's match. Sono, get your head outa the clouds pal, Dennis Bergkamp has more chance of boarding that flight than Ireland has. No amount of sucking up, apologising whatever can fix the damage this tool has caused and the ill-feeling among Irish fans. He's a waste of space and a troublemaker, Trap won't be wasting time or phone credit on him, I wouldn't even send the coont a Webtext.

I am not backing Ireland at all. He has been an absolute tool and seems like a tool as well. But he's a decent player and if he made the move to come back and it was approved by the senior players and management, then who are we to get the hump over it. They are the lads that need to trust him to give his all so if they give him that trust then I will back him.
Of course, if he tried to weasel his way in before the Euros then that is more foolish behaviour from him and anyway Trap would not be that stupid to include him over a regular.
I would also say that this could be Ireland sh*t stirring through his missus now that he is playing well again. I would not put it past him based on previous form

How many games has ireland played in the last 3 years? How many goals has he scored?

This thread is exactly where it should be IMO....he has made it this way and it should stay here until he comes out and genuinely apologises at length to the people of Ireland,the players,the manager,the FAI and then and only then should we consider bringing him back into the setup,I cant believe that this article with his woman has brought this sh*te up again,it makes it worse,if anything it should condemn him to international wilderness forever,if he feels like this pull his head out of his hole,call a press conference and apologise bcoz he has made a mockery of us all,instead his woman says well if he gets a phone call who knows....cheeky little f**ker...if he wants to play for this great country he should apologise,beg and plead bcoz if hes not gonna put the effort in to get back into the setup what is the point in having him in the squad in front of someone who actually cares and is proud of their country. ------------- The first two-syllable word I ever learned growing up was discretion."

Probably the only issue surrounding the Irish team these days that makes me genuinely angry. To say I hate this little c**t is an understatement. I hope he never plays for Ireland again after some of the stuff he has said and it will be a very very sad day for me as a fan if he ever does.

It's about the Irish team. A former player hinting at wanting to return and it is very much an Ireland issue. Like him or not, this is about our team and it goes back to the Ireland section. Should a mod change it again, they will be stripped of their stripes

On what he has done on the field over the past 18 months, then he shouldn't be in the squad - Simple as that.
You can say what you want about falling out with people etc but I'd have a lot more sympathy for him if he had kept his mouth shut and not started spouting off to daily rags about how he didn't need international football and how he didn't miss it etc.
He should be made stand in front of Davy Langan and explain himself ! If Davy says he would take him back then that's fine with me.....after the Euros and if he is showing consistent form at club level.

Some people take a while to grow up , SI being a prime example. He can be a fine player for us. Let old dogs lie , if he makes the call and declares himself available bring him in after the Euro's for his penance . ------------- l hear you are a racist now, father ? |

Agreed, he's said some stupid sh*te but after the Euros would be fine with me. Having Given, Dunne, Clark, Robbie all at Villa would probably be a factor if he's now missing being part of the international setup. Watched them a good bit recently and he's been pretty solid.

trap would never pick him. never. that is a fact. if he apologised for everything that has happened, and admitted he was a clown and is willing to contribute something positive to the team and showed the same kind of pride that the other lads are showing every time they come out in a green jersey then maybe....MAYBE....he could be considered for a call-up to the team. the fact that many people here think that his extremely unlikely return would warrant an immediate start is absolutely baffling. he would be part of a squad of 28 and then widdled down to the number trap always picks for qualifiers. if he thought (or any of the supporters of him) thought he would come straight back into the team based on his club performances and checkered history is definitely lamenting and smoking something strong. ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

Sono are you taking the piss or what. Some people have very short memories. Do you think he'd want to come back if we hadn't qualified? He would in his arse. If he does express an interest in returning (which he mightn't) his only motivation would be to further his own career. He's done it before by toying with the idea of returning for Ireland in the media, always conveniently when his club career was going badly. Some fans got their hopes up only for him to shut the door again. Then when his career would be flying he'd say the extra training he does during international breaks help him be so much "fitter than others". This chap doesn't give a fook about playing for Ireland - his only concern is his club career. Villa are not exactly flying high at the minute and you can be sure that's in his head. There is a very real chance someone of the quality of McCarthy, McLean or Coleman will miss out on a place in the squad for Poland, yet this eejit is being talked about. Aside from all that what has he done in the last two years? Played three or four half decent games with Robbie Keane. Sure he wouldn't even get in on merit. We've plenty of wingers and strikers who'd be in ahead of him and we don't even play anyone in his position. Fook him. ------------- 67% points to games ratio at the last Euro's (better than Portugal's) |

Playing for your country has NOTHING to do with growing up. In football, you can do so from the age of 15 and I know as a kid from as soon as I could kick a ball that it was all I ever wanted to do. So if someone needs to "mature" to realise that they want to play for their country, then they are most likely retarded. If for whatever reason you don't want to play for your country, that's grand.

honestly this whole circus is probably made up by some journalist trying to sell papers not by ireland himself... regardless....if he had earned the trust of the squad, and the management team than that is good enough for me. as fans we never get to really understand what has actually went on(see andy o'brien. it's easy to commentate from a desktop, but the fact is we only see what the papers write, and lord knows how distorted or factual they are.

I don't buy that. If he's been misquoted in the past, then I suggest he should have set the record straight before now. From what I read it was pretty clear where his allegiance lies and there does not appear to have been any attempt to "qualify" his statements in the past. This man is a bell-end and a publicity hungry prick. He probably feels the buzz around the Ireland team through Given and Dunne as well as the other players (more and more of whom are getting regular Premiership first team starts) and being the greedy **** that he is, he now wants a slice of it. ------------- Sean Og O Hailpin.... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold." |
