Cillian Sheridan

_blank_

Has he been in recent Ireland squads.

I reckon Sheridan + Delap's Throws would be an awesome secret weapon.

Frankie Lee

Bring back Gary Doherty too.

Kingp35

No don't think he has been in any senior squads yet. Is he that good?

Won a fair few headers vs ManU last night.

tbh, if he's good enough to be playing in the CL for Celtic, he should be in every Ireland squad.

Without people questioning it.

anonymous_joe

Would he be there without the injury crisis?

He looked alright against United last night, but he didn't ever look like scoring...

Would defo be a good option to have alright but in fairness he has very little experience as of yet, but he proved last night that he can be a real handfull

Yes, especially against defenses that are poor from high ball/set pieces. Not sure if there are any teams like this in ireland's group? I don't think so. Darly Murphy is way under rated imo. Hes going to loss at Sunderland.

You can see that Sheridan is on the Celtic team for 2 things; long ball hold up and high ball striking.

Eirebear

If he was that good why wouldnt he be playing for some mid table premiership team? :pac:

He does seem like a hell of a prospect, but to be fair to the lad he has only just broken into the Celtic team oer the last couple of weeks due to injuries to key players.

Give the lad a chance at club level before throwing him to the wolves that support Ireland.

Exactly, give him a few months of regular first team football and a few u21 games before you start declaring him the new Quinner.

A hattrick at Ibrox. That'll do it.

Des discussing Irelands national team shocker!!


Em, good idea in theory but I don't think we have enough big men to make use of this tbh. Folan, Dunne and maybe Doyler at a stretch, that's about it.

Seaneh

Zizu Kilbane, O'Shea, Ste Kelly's not bad in the air.

Kelly doesn't usually start and you can't move the whole defense up front, especially when you are playing counter attacking football.

Oh really. We shouldn't question the fact, even though he is playing for an injury ravaged second rate team in a second rate league (SPL), he should automatically be placed in the Irish squad. Give over. We are ok in the strikers department at the moment, give the lad some regular football before making such claims.

Delap shouldn't be near an Irish first xi. Bill mentioned it on RTE last night and the 3 lads broke their bollix laughing at him.

So, when they break their bollix about Delap, they are right, but when they slaughter Ronaldo or Gerrard, they are wrong

Have you seen some of the shi*e that have been in some of the Ireland squads lately

This thread is about Sheridan, bump the Delap thread if you want to talk about him.

Oh well if the three lads said so then thats the end of the arguement :rolleyes:

what's that got to do with anything? At least they back up their reasoning re. Ronaldo or Gerrard with footage, or points of view, wrong or not.

They just laughed at Bill last night. He's nowhere near good enough. It would be a ridiculous step backwards tactically. That long throw in is school-boy stuff.

From the o.p. they come hand in hand, no?

If you want to talk about Sheridan, no, he shouldn't be in the Irish set-up..... yet.

No they didn't.

Dunphy said he should be in the squad. The other two disagreed but didn't laugh at him. How can you laugh at a guy who has been giving Premiership defences nightmares?

Delap + Sheridan would be fine by me.

podge018

It was tongue in cheek Nice Guy, he ended up throwing his arms in the air shouting "Bombs away!!!". There's no way he believes Delap should play for Ireland. But my point wasn't well if Dunphy says so then it's true, I think Dunphy is a clown, my point was they didn't even give it the time of day.

It didn't seem tongue-in-cheek to me. The 'bombs away' comment was him having a bit of a laugh alright but to begin with Bill asked 'Delap for Ireland' and Dunphy replied 'Yes, why not?'

They did give it the time of day because Giles went on about how it's an effective weapon but he didn't see it working in our system.

You make it sound like it was a big joke amongst them which it wasn't. They did debate it.

And do you always take on board the opinions of ''a clown'' or are you not capable of thinkin for yourself?

Raskolnikov

Sheridan looks a fine player, has the qualities of a target man, but is quick enough and has reasonably good control and touch. He needs to be considered, but I would still have Keane and Doyle ahead of him.

I didn't even take on his opinions this time so what on earth are you talking about?

eirebhoy

"I don't think I can get too caught up in it all. There are three big players to come back; Sami, Jan and Killen and they are well ahead of me.

I don't think that I have done myself any harm over the past few weeks but I know that I got my chance because of the injury situation.

There is a lot of work for me to do and even in the second half, I really felt as though I was struggling a bit with my fitness. That's just one thing that I have to improve on, but there's a lot more.

It was a fantastic experience but I know that if I want to have more nights like that then I still have a fair bit of work to do."

The Volt

I defintely think he should be in with the senior squad for training at least, give him a run out in friendly games, ease him into it.

Frankie Lee

Honestly lads our under 21s could do with him for the next couple of years, his day will come for the seniors but not any time soon.

eirebhoy

I think Givens first choice midfield and attack for the U21s is something like:

---

O'Toole --- Garvan --- McCarthy

---

--- Scannell

---

Sheridan

---

Treacy ----

Not bad at all.

Why don't they win any matches then?

bobbysands81

Des posts about Celtic and there's no bile or hatred in the post? Fantastic!!!

Sheridan has not shown anywhere near enough to be considered for a full Irish cap.

What's the story with O'Dea?

I don't follow Celtic, but I thought he played superbly in their CL run a while back. He came off the bench midweek, but are there any signs of him progressing?

Not really, he could do with a move south, barring injuries he doesn't get his game at Celtic.

shane86

Him and Delap for Poland I say. Why play Robbie? He will do what he always does- scores in friendlies giving false hope he will be ferocious in the next competitives.

_blank_

Robbie shouldn't play against Poland.

Neither should Given, Finnan, Dunne, O'Shea, Duff, McGeady or Doyle.

The result doesn't matter.

giving "junior" players, and Andy Reid, a game does.

I find it pointless leaving out players who are going to play in the competitive matches. Make 2 or 3 changes at most just to see how the new players fit in playing with players like keane etc

What if there's an injury.

He should play fringe players to get them used to the system

But it's Givens. That's the problem. He's a muck manager.

Givens OUT!

O'Toole has only gone 20, Treacy too has only gone 20, McCarthy is 17, Garvan 20, Scannell 18, Sheridan 19.

Most of the players that'll be playing in the U21 championships would be 21-22. Because we got knocked out early enough Givens decided to play the above players in the last couple of games in the previous campaign. They drew 2-2 in Portugal against players mainly a few years older than them.

We'll see but if they're all fit and don't get promoted to the seniors that's as good a fantastic 6 players for the U21s.
