joelswfc Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Seriously? The three keepers selected for Ireland are: Darren Randolph - 3 Premier League appearances for West Ham this season David Forde - 8 appearances in League 1 this season Rob Elliot - 21 Premier League games this season Fair enough for Westwood to be behind Elliot in the pecking order, but bizarre not to be chosen ahead of Randolph and Forde. Can only imagine he doesn't show that much commitment when he is with that squad. Can't think of another reason for why he hasn't been picked.

31Dec1966 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 KW seems to be picking up niggling little injuries this season so I'm glad he isn't picked for Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 KW seems to be picking up niggling little injuries this season so I'm glad he isn't picked for Ireland.AgreedHe's made of 'bone china' I'd rather he kept fit for us instead of risking injury with the paddys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Is it possible that Carlos or potentially even Kieren himself asked not to be called up for our benefit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 might be more to do that everytime he gets picked he ends up getting injured after been with them for 48hours, cause surely he is better than forde think his time with Ireland is numbered.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Eire. Do people still actually use that?Never really understood this. My understanding was that it is the Galic name for the physical island. Surely that includes the north and therefore can't represent one country.

FlyingOwl Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 hmmmmm, not sure about him, was the obvious choice to come off at half time IMO. I called it on 40 that it'd be McGeady for Nuhiu. But that's not due to McGeady being the obvious weak link. None of the 11 in the first half covered themselves in much glory. Wallace was equally as inaffectual as McGeady. But it was obvious that Nuhiu needed bringing on & we need Wallace, if only for his set pieces. That said, I'm yet to see a good home performance from him. Vs Birmingham he was apparently better & vs Forest he was apparently fantastic. He may just be on of those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 More of a sign that the Irish currently lack any sort of squad depth than his current form. He obviously still isn't match fit so the call up is probably a good thing for him and us in that it will go a long way to helping keep his spirits up and maybe inspiring more from him whilst he's with us.
