Republic of Ireland squad for a training camp in Dublin from the 20th to the 25th of May. Celtic's Colin Healy and Hibs' Nicky Colgan were not considered as both are still involved in the Scottish league title run-in. Republic of Ireland squad: Shay Given, Joe Murphy, Stephen Carr, Ian Harte, John O'Shea, Richard Dunne, Andy O'Brien, Gary Breen, Kenny Cunningham, Steve Finnan, Lee Carsley, Matt Holland, Mark Kinsella, Alan Quinn, Kevin Kilbane, Stephen McPhail, Steven Reid, Damien Duff, Glen Crowe, David Connolly, Gary Doherty, Alan Lee, Robbie Keane.
No Kelly? I heard rumours he's not happy about McCarthy leaving, and he has withdrawn from every squad since the Swiss game, despite rarely missing a game for Leeds, now he's been excluded from this get together, very strange.
no kelly..no big deal. we have plenty of good right full backs. steve carr, steve finan and even jeff kenna are better than kelly.
didn't look injured against Arsenal, Duffs had a worse season with injury and he's there. Very strange, as someone said we've better players there alright I was just wondering about his attitude, skipped every game since the Swiss match, he might aswell just come out and retire really.
Healy out for the training camp and both of the matches because he is involved with Celtic....i must have this wrong? Will it be not be over by June?! When was the last time he played for Celtic anyhow?? Closey
I think Kennedy deserves a call up. Some great performances for Wolves, esp today..... what a cracker of a goal he scored. I'd play him ahead of Kilbane on the left any day, if we're putting Duff in the free role and need a a left sided midfielder. Seems to get back well to defend also. Has speed and can dribble and cross, deserves a look in IMHO.
