All hail Robbie Keane

If we had a Bernie Slaven now we would be singing .

John Egan and Duffy are better

Top players to play for Rep of Ireland. In no order:

Paul McGrath
Roy Keane
Robbie Keane
Mark Lawrenson
Kevin Moran
John Giles
Liam Brady

Didn’t see Giles play but know enough to say he was one of our greatest.

Richard Dunne had some performances that put him right up there

I don’t think so. I think O’Shea was as good, if not better than the others during Trap’s time.

From Trap’s time onwards Sheasy was good for Ireland.

My bollix. He was the one who let the ball bounce in the 6 yard box for Henry’s hand ball goal wasnt he?

He always had a major fuck up in him

McShane

O’Shea was a grand centre back and goalkeeper, but, nutmeg on Figo aside, was a nuts and bolts full back, which suited Trap grand

Correct. Apologies to Josh

O’Shea was never better than Dunne ffs

I’m not saying overall but during Trap’s reign O’Shea was as good,

I don’t see how. O’Shea was shunted out to right back where he was solid but unspectacular in favour of a championship player in St. Ledger at centre half

St Ledger was excellent when he played for us - that’s why. That way all three of them could be accommodated.

O Shea was terrible at centre half in traps first few qualifiers. Bombscare bad

I’m sorry I don’t recall that at all!! Kerr’s time yes.

@RaymondCrotty

Getting greater by the game

o’shea was a coward

We seem to have a lot of cowards

Ronnie Whelan was a better player than any of them bar Brady
