In fairness; in this situation it's not exactly ideal to be ringing up a player putting them on the spot on a huge decision. Text him, let him know he needs an answer and follow it up in a few days if he hears nothing.

I think he deserves more respect given what he has done for his country. Trap should be pencilling a meeting with him to discuss face to face in the US if needs be. He is our captain and record goalscorer and has given us 15 years ffs No longer a certain starter for me but what a man to bring on for last 20. I still think he has plenty to offer if played in the role villa used him in last season, was made to look bad in euros because of our system and inability to keep the ball. |

Trap apparently (what I read anyhow) texted Robbie recently when Robbie scored twice and Rob never replied or acknowledged it. I can't see really why he'd have to reply if the message was something like "well done on scoring" or similar. More likely to reply if Trap asked him something, which appears he didn't. We all know Trap's lines of communication are seriously flawed. ------------- 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..... |

Remember Shay didnt reply to a text a few weeks ago from Trap I wouldn't bank on any of the trio staying on until the day they turn up in Malahide. Though Given's quotes on Dunne sounded promising enough.

The people who have been calling for Keane's days to be numbered, be it self inflicted or from Trap or simply whenever father time has caught up with him, might do well to reflect on what we have to replace him with. Based on all previous international form, we'll struggle for goals from any combination of Walters(10%) Doyle(20%) or Cox(20%). Only Long (26%) who has had to live off scraps and mainly sub appearances has decent pedigree for us. Not to mention any combination of midfielders and wingers whose international scoring record is pretty dire too.

Posted By: Humpy Gussy
Date Posted: 23 Sep 2012 at 10:55am
O'Dea was very poor from what the highlights showed. No urgency at all and very much looks like he is lacking in confidence. On that showing, if he plays against Germany at CB we are dead. Also, what's the story with what I presume are the away fans behind the LA goal in the second half?

It'll be a farce alright. With Dunne looking unlikely to be back it's a 99% certainty that he will start alongside Sledge. I recall people saying prior to the Spanish match if we can keep them scoreless for 10 minutes it'll be an achievement. I'd echo those sentiments for this. But let's all be positive because there's so much to be positive about our setup at the moment
