    Trapattoni names 24 man squad to face Czech Republic in ‘Three International Friendly’

    Giovanni Trapattoni today (February 10) announced a 24 man squad to face the Czech Republic in the ‘Three International Friendly’ on February 29 in Aviva Stadium.
    Making the announcement, the Republic of Ireland manager said, “This game is the beginning of our Euro 2012 preparations. As we face this fixture, it is important for our players to remember the attitude and performance that brought us qualification. The Czech Republic are a strong team, and their system is similar to Croatia and Spain. This game is vital in helping us choose our 23 player squad for May. We will continue to monitor our players afterwards, and keep a close eye on their fitness in the coming months.”

    Totally agree - have to wonder what more he could do to get in the squad, hope MON can keep him focused and keen to force his way to the Euros.

    Feel a bit sorry for the lad

    Think he will be ok, he seems level headed enough to realise he has only be playing at the top level for a few games now. Sure he will get in if he keeps his current form up until end of the season.

    Have to say that whenever I have seen the boy on TV, he has looked a class act. Maybe one of the finds of the season.

    It's not a complete surprise he isn't in the squad. Trapattoni has to look to the qualifying games the ROI have coming up. MacClean has only played a handful of games in the top division and hasn't got the experience yet that is needed to play at the international level.

    Typical ****ing Trappatoni <grr>, stick with the same proven Internationals (proven completely average). The instant an excitiing player raises his head (Shane Ferguson, James McClean) its too much of a risk. God forbid the RoI fans might want to see at least a couple of their players display adventurous attacking football.

    Don't get me wrong, Trap has done well in his stint with the team but half the time half the fans don't experience the final whistle of the win because they are asleep

    I'm pretty shocked that he hasn't made the squad when you look at the players who have...Great for us though because he will need all his energy for our up and coming league and cup games...
