    You heard it here first-Leon Best has been called up to the Irish squad to face Estonia next week #IrlEst

    Interesting, would be no more than the lad deserves, and an admission of defeat from Trappatoni?

    Beat me to it!

    It's high time he was called up, playing as good as anyone in the Ireland squad.

    Trap is stubborn, infuriatingly so. As soon as Long is fit again it will be bye bye Best.

    Hopefully he can grab his big international chance with a hat trick like he did with his big club chance :D <diva>

    He is only being call-up as Long is out. I would be very suprised if he started.

    I hope Best plays and runs his little socks off.

    Also hoping Colo doesn't get called up. He's one player we can't afford to lose to injury.

    My optimistic side is pretty happy for him.

    My pessimistic side think's that's another player that can be injured over the break...

    :D

    He picks donkeys like Walters and to a lesser extend Cox over Best, he's clearly going senile.

    True enough Trap has blinkers on when he picks his team,just look at Walters on Monday just a big bruiser and he'll pick Keane regardless,I despair at times

    To be fair to Walters, I have been impressed with him everytime he plays. He runs for everything and is tireless and would have him in our squad, then to earn his place in our team.

    What's the betting he gets injured? I hate when our players are playing internationally.

    I'd guess it would be a WC qualifier? they were playing them in the week the Euro qualification ended.

    I think he deserves a call up- one of the best defenders in (arguably) the best league in the world. If Guttierez can get in the squad and get gametime as a sub then Colo should get a place.

    2 assists against Stoke and he also headed the ball on to Obertan for the cross for the first goal, and has generally been playing well recently without scoring much unfortunately.

    Deserves it 100% imo

    As most people say, he probably won't get any game time
