[Franco]

try this for starters..

nicky colgan (bit harsh, but couldn't remember many shit goalies)
def: chris morris, paul butler, alan kernaghan, john o shea (on current form)
mid: eddie mcgoldrick, gareth farelly,liam miller, alan moore,
for: micky evans, glen crowe

 

[Cormcolash]

No Phil Babb? Shocking.

 

[Hector Grey]

ah ah/the babber has a decent world cup under his belt.
kilbane deserves this tho.
and jon goodman.
and ken demange.
and .. well, where do we stop?

 

[Jerry Twig]

Kilbane? don't be ridiculous.

colgan shouldn't be there.

kernaghan should be captain of the shit Irish XI. And make space for Liam O'Brien and Gary Doherty.

 

[molateen]

What about Dave O learys brother . I think his name was Pierce .

 

[billygannon]

Up front... how about:
Johnny Glynn
Tony Cousins

And that goalkeeper who was the third choice during the reign of Gerry Peyton and Packie Bonner - he had an odd name.

Kwame Ampadu in midfield?

 

[nofriendo]

your forgetting mcateer, harte, DOHERTY!! definetly babb i would put robbie keane in there just because i hate him!

 

[Jerry Twig]

doherty said. a team that you HATE the most would probably be easier!

stephen carr as captain.

 

[coast to coast]

At their worst moments, these men deserve inclusion:

Phil Babb making his international comeback against Russia, his first touch is the ball smacking into his face for an own goal.

Ian Harte, for his general confidence-fest against Spain in 2002 and missing the penalty.

My friend H, has never forgiven Kilbane for missing the rebound. Hates him more Keano.

Kwame never akkerly played for ireland tho. he just is from ireland. much like myself.

Mickey evans tho, paul butler and that maken cunt.

i'd have kilbane ahead of babb any day.

 

[skinnerchinner]

just for being Hutch in a drunken rampage alone

my mates cousin is the cuntstuble who arrested starsky & hutch
on their night of infamy

Played for Celtic, Shamrock Rovers anyways
Capped 7 times.
Owns a sports shop in Glasgow last I heard.

Do you all actually realise how shit Babb is? Seriously? I think O'Shea is hankering for a place on the team too, if he doesn't figure out how the hell to produce an end product.

 

[Jerry Twig]

c'mon now, as bad as o'shea is at the mo, he's no alan kernaghan!

babbs own goal was a historic low for an irish footballer, no doubt, but who could forget terry phelans hands to the face against macedonia, that gave them their penalty to set them up for the win.
phelan was some headless chicken in his day.

 

[nuke terrorist]

Liam Daish. Cannot remember Mickey Evans.

Na I disagree. I think Terry Phelan was actually a fuckin great player whose entire international career was marred by two incidents, the Holland goal and that Macedonia thing which spelled the end for him. Apart from that I think he was solid and an excellent option on the wing. You could say the same about Harte, except that he is actually just shite.
You're right about Alan Kernaghan though!

 

[Jerry Twig]

Phelan was fast, and he could fairly tackle with a crunch, but that was about the height of it. my abiding memory of phelan was him pegging down the wing without looking up and running over the goal line. many many times.
but you're right. i definitely wouldn't put him in a 'worst 11'.

 

[Johnnyc]

Big Phelan fan here too. Me and a mate were at his last game for Ireland, the friendly against Scotland. We gave Terry a big cheer and plenty of encouragement when he came on (was his first game back after a long gap). We were by the touchline and he was bombing up and down the wing on our side of the pitch. He must have heard us cos at the end of the match he made a point of coming over and applauding us!

GO ON TERRY!

 

[Cormcolash]

What a legend. I remember that Scotland match, fuck that was shite. Best thing about it was that I was watching it in the pub, and after the match they switched it over to England v Australia and the pub started going nuts cause the Ozzies were 2-0 up or something! Then about 2 minutes later they scored a third, biggest cheer of the night!
