Thought COnnolly deserved a shot ahead of Folan. Dont know much about him but Connolly has been on fore and shoudl have got the nod. WElcome aboard Caleb but I can see Stan giving him a run out ahead of keane, doyle , stokes etc whereas COnnolly would defo have been pushing! another gaf by the gaffer I think! -------------

maybe because he's not up to it, Connolly is a fine Championship player but isnt even up to premiership standard let alone international level!
He undoubtedly had the talent when he was younger but he's not up to it.

| Not true, Doyle has taken his chance in the top flight with both hands and made the most of it. Connolly on the other hand has had more then a few chances and has never been a success in the premiership, he's just not good enough at the top level simple as that, he's had his chances and never took advantage. |

and whose better, Andy Keogh off Wolves? He deserves a chance but cant see him like Folan even getting a run out against either SLovakia or Wales -------------

| true but he's a young player like folan who'll benefit from being in the senior squad |

thats all well and good but we do want to win matches yeah?
Even if Keogh comes in do you not think that for the immediate future (next 3 years) our top 4 strikers will be keane, doyle, long and stokes so if any of these are out or not on form , form players should be picked no matter who they are ie Connolly is most on for Irish Striker alongside Keane at the moment! -------------

connolly should have defo got the nod ahead of Keogh. Keogh will get his chance soon enough if Ireland lose any of the next 2 games as all games for the next 2 years will just be meaningless crap anyway if they dont qualify and all youngsters can be blooded then . FOrm players shouldnt be left out of squads. Remeber Sven picking walcott ahead of andy johnson, darren bent etc....great decision!

| but by stan saying that this campaign is only a learning curve then he's right to be bringing keogh, connolly doesnt need to be learning any more (or maybe he does) |

I dont agree, but he's already decided that this campaign is a learning curve, so if he's going with that attitude then he may as well make the most of it. ie bring keogh.
For the record i think the gaffer is a muppet, i just have to find the appropriate muppet. (it was so much easier with big mick/sam the eagle)
