i agree to a point..Murphy will not get a cap while playing the LOI.If he wants international recognition he will have to go away no matter how good he is.David Forde was Derry's keeper a few years ago and now hes doing well for Millwall and Murphy is far better than him..
I think Fahy will eventually do well in England too.Gary Dicker has done ok at Stockport,think he might be at Brighton now. ------------- Theres only one sport that matters.. |

wes houlihan, shane long ,noel hunt ,stephan ward, roy keane, paul mc grath, curtis flemming, roy o donovan (in scotland now) darly murphy, alan bennett,john o flynn (top scorer for barnet and several champinship teams looking at him) niall mc glynn and paddy mc court playing for celtic, anto stokes came from shels to name but a few.
by the way murphy had plenty of offers but would only leave for a championship or premiership club and has to be garenteed a regular place. also believes bohs can push on in europe.
gary deegan and murphy both turned down moves to kilmarnock as well.

I think we are getting off the topic a bit, but now that we are on it from that list I would give you Shane Long,Stephen Ward and Darryl Murphy. Houlihan was too good for the league here and is now in an out at norwich.
Alan Bennetts move has been a disaster.
Noel Hunt has been a sub more often then not.(did well in bari tho
)John o flynn hasnt done much IMO
Roy O Donavan has been a failure
Paddy McCourt isnt getting a jersey at celtic and has played THREE times for them
Stokes played underage for shels but he isnt doing well either and has had disasterous loans this year
And keane mcgrath and flemming are a different era, were talking about things as they are now, summer football etc

mooney wasnt getting a sniff at reading agreed but he is flying at norwich scored 3 from 8 including 2 in a row and one match winner. dont forget he has being playing nonstop since jan 08
and john o flynn. barnetts top scorer with 18 not bad for a team in 16th position. he will sign for a chapionship team in the summer in my opinion. norwhich and ipswitch were interested last time i heard.

Don’t think anyone expected any of these players to "set the place on fire". The Championship is most certainly a big step up from the Premiership. Doyle has just done exceptionally well to take to the league so well. Give the likes of Mooney and Fahey a chance. They need to get used to the league over there first. ------------- 753 |

the point is that the players in ireland are not good enough to play for ireland, and that they need to play regular higher standard football to be considered for a place in the squad.
The best players we have who go over are failing at lower english clubs, so the argument that the best irish players in LOI should be in the squad is poor in my opinion.
yis all had a hooly when lapira got a cap so if murphy was played instead of westwood or heary instead of foley does nobody else think it would be wrong?

put it this way, can you image jeff kenna registering himself as a player if he managed anywhere in england?!
i hate to say it but the standard of our league is not as good as the leagues in england, and that is the reason why people in the ireland management will not call up players from it because they do not think the bar is high enough so even if you are the best in the league you are a big fish in a small pond.

What are you basing that on? The fact that not every player who goes over there is a success isn't a valid reason for a blanket judgement. If we were having a discussion around which is better between the EPL and La Liga, the fact that you don't see Messi and Villa leaving for the Premiership wouldn't mean a whole lot. They're well-paid and happy where they are. Plenty of League of Ireland players are well-paid and happy where they are. They have the chance to play European football every year or two. Teams outside the top 8 in the Premiership cannot offer that. ------------- INVINCIBLE |

If you read over my posts you wil see i have commented on players like Fahey, Ward, and Doyle as being the exceptions (and in fairness ony one of them actually has a cap at this moment in time)
Others who have done ok would be Noel Hunt and Shane Long but both are subs.
Houlihan doesnt play every week for Norwich when he is fit.
Id love to see the league getting more focus and better players but the management think the LOI players are big fish in small ponds and thats why he wont get in.
Also on the Murphy thing, Joe Murphy was voted best keeper in League 1 last night by all the other players

if you read my posts you will see im saying that in my opinion that is the view of the management team. Ive praised Doyle, Fahey, Ward and Long, and Noel Hunt is also doing well.
These guys are good players and have shown this by going to big clubs and doing well.
There are a large number of players who are classed as top players over here and go to england and do not do well.
Houlihan
Roy O'Donavan
George O'Callaghan
Gary Dicker
Mooney
Can you argue that these were not top players in LOI?

Posted By: Honey Monster
Date Posted: 28 Apr 2009 at 3:34am

I’d argue that Houlihan has done well since he went to England, and Mooney has being showing good form lately despite their club in serious danger of being relegated. O’Callaghan did ok, but didn’t set the place alight at Ipswich. Think Georgie had a few personal problems along the way that didn’t help him. What about that young Meyler lad, is he anywhere near first team football?? ------------- 753 |

Point is that those guys were the top dogs over here. Houlihan has not been playing reguarly for Norwich.
O'Callaghan scored 1 goal in 31 games between Ipswich, Brighton and Tranmere.
These were top players over here.

Do you watch any football at all because you havent a clue what your on about. Couple of points - The Ireland national team aint no great great shakes. Houlihan was named in the league one team of the year and has. He was signed for £250,000 which shows he doing something right and he has 32 league appearances this year alone. Considering his wage packet could be anywhere between £6,000 - $15000 a week, i would call that a bloody good success. Roy O'Donovan is currently on the books of a premiership team and is playing football for a championship team. George O'Callaghan moved from a league one side to a team fighting relegation in the LOI. The league table suggests he is playing for one of the worst teams in the league and you wont find to many people saying he should be in the ireland squad. When he last played with Cork he wasnt Corks best midfielder never mind leagues best player. Not sure why Tranmere thought he could do a job for them. Gary Dicker. Firstly, he played for one of the worst clubs in the league. Secondly, no one has ever said Gary was one of the leagues top players. Despite been at best an average LOI player, he managed to play a key part of the promotion drive for Stockport. Mooney was one of the top players in the LOI. When he moved to reading, he had 3 excellent forwards ahead of them in the pecking order, its no shame not to be able to get on ahead of Lita, Doyle Kitson and Doyle, all with plenty top flight experience. Mooney has since went on loan to Norwich where he has been banging the goals in. Mooney's best days are ahead of him, if you want to do a bit of research, you will find that despite an awful run of injuries, his goals per game ratio for Reading reserves has been superb. A first team call up awaits. Now feck away of will you. U say that you have gave praise to the guys that have made it. Exactly, they have made it and you cant discount them from your argument. You have also failed to bring up that the league has recently had players who had played or current play international football elsewhere. The likes of Mindaugas Kalonas, Ndo and Boco have had pretty decent international careers. ------------- M.D. |

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. ------------- M.D. |

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. ------------- Theres only one sport that matters.. |

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 ? |

God you talk some awful rubbish. There has been big games that have passed the likes of Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi by, you cant play excellent every minute of every game. Big games can get to anyone, ask Zidane what he got up to last time he played a big game. Birmingham would not be in the premiership now if it wasn't for Keith Fahey. When people say outside the top bracket thats our way of saying that we aren't stupid and we realize he isn't better than Shay Given. ------------- M.D. |

Fahey has been excellent at times, but also annonymous at times too (Wolves game 2 weeks ago). Talk to birmingham fans about him, he has been brilliant especially at the weekend.
All the talk about murphy and LOI players is apologetic, nobody is saying he is good enough for the squad, its always "if we had a few injuries" or "i know he os not top bracket but.." But what!!
By all accounts he seems to be the best keeper in the league, but in my opinion does not deserve to be in the squad as a pat on the back for that, he should only be in if he is in the top 3 keepers available to us (which he isnt)
Can anybody tell me more about his career in england?

They will all say, great buy, doing very well, still needs to build up his body a bit to compete over there, but.. has also been guilty of games passing him by at times. Look over my posts and see what I think of Keith Fahey if you think I am not a fan of his But on the Murphy thing, whos place does everyone think He Deserves in the squad for the big qualifier we have coming up in a hostile area away from home.

HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT THE BIRMINGHAM FANS SAY ABOUT HIM, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SEE HIM EVERY WEEK!
I AM A FAN OF FAHEY AS I HAVE ALREADY SAID A NUMBER OF TIMES.
THE THREAD IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT MURPHY BEING GOOD ENOUGH FOR A PLACE IN THE IRELAND SQUAD!

As far as I can see from the LOI (and that's the only measuring stick I have, and it was the same for other players who went over and surprised many by being a success), Brian Murphy is an absolute class act and could cut it at a higher level. It does help when you have players of the calibre of Owen Heary in defence though.

Who is he as good as in our squad / playing in england?
Why do you think Trap and Brady cant see it?

Because they choose not to see it, like most Ireland managers, until he is playing across the water. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDDfoTdmG94&feature=PlayList&p=F8D10A025010B274&playnext=1&index=6 |

| The last time I read a Birmingham fan site I had to wipe my face after it such was the level of sperm that came off the screen on the Fahey thread |

So you were having a fondle and such was the level of excitement that the fruits of your labour leapt up to the computer screen and rebounded onto your face. A tad gross, but I like it! ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDDfoTdmG94&feature=PlayList&p=F8D10A025010B274&playnext=1&index=6 |
