The great Alberto Tarantini was unattached when he played for Argentine at the 1978 World Cup. It means fuck all in the international sphere. There are numerous examples of out of contract players performing at World Cups particularly amongst the African nations.
Think McShane is unattached also
Delighted for McShane. He got a great ovation coming off on Saturday after a solid display and I think our support were acknowledging his commitment to the cause after the disappointment of not making the initial selection. Of course there were still a few utter cunts whistling and cheering sarcastically any time he did anything on the ball. A shame for Kevin Foley though.
It now appears Foley isn’t injured at all and McShane has been called up due to doubts over Dunne / O’Shea / St Ledger
I am unattached.
Makes sense I suppose. Very tough on Foley though.
If thats true its incredibly tough on Foley. Does anyone have Gary Waddocks phone number for him?
I’m very disappointed for Foley in that case but I understand our esteemed manager’s reasoning.

Looks like Kevin Foley is dumped for Paul McShane because of minor problems suffered by Dunne/St Ledger. McShane can cover centre half too.

Superb banter.

Very tough alright. I presume this was hinted at to him already over the past couple of days but that’s harsh. Not the wrong call though, just tough.
Ireland Team tonight:
Westwood,
McShane, Dunne, St Ledger, Kelly,
Hunt, Green, Andrews, McClean,
Cox, Keane.
Subs: Forde, McGeady, Doyle, Long, Foley, Walters, Gibson, Ward.
Kevin Foley has stuck around for the moment. Must be shit for him.

Talk that he’ll come off the bench tonight.
Robbie has us one up. Shot from outside the D with his left.
Are you watching Rocko? Is it being shown some where?
If he injures one of his one players does he get in?
2-0. Simon Cox.
Just thinking that the exclusion of a player so late on and the potential negative impact on collective morale was one of Trap’s stated reasons for naming his 23 so early. That said, I understand why he left Foley out but I feel very sorry for the young man.
3-0. Robbie Keane.
We’re going to fucking walk this
Probably not if its a goalie. Just guessing.
