NICK Colgan has again been omitted from the Republic of Ireland squad despite an outstanding start to the season at Oakwell. Nick, who has not featured at all under new coach Steve Staunton, has been overlooked again as Ireland prepare to face Germany on September 2, 2006. Republic of Ireland squad: Goalkeepers: Given (Newcastle), Henderson (Brighton), Kenny (Sheffield United) Defenders: Andy O'Brien (Portsmouth), Dunne (Manchester City), Carr (Newcastle), Finnan (Liverpool), Kelly (Birmingham), Doherty (Norwich) Midfielders: Kilbane (Everton), O'Shea (Manchester United), Reid (Blackburn), Kavanagh (Wigan), Liam Miller (Manchester United), Douglas (Blackburn), Ireland (Manchester City), Duff (Newcastle), McGeady (Celtic), Alan O'Brien (Newcastle) Strikers: Elliott (Sunderland), Keane (Tottenham), Doyle (Reading), Morrison (Crystal Palace).
Must be gutted... He was told by Staunton when he first took the job that he had to be playing Championship football to get called up, yet Henderson at Brighton gets in.</p>
What more does he have to do? He played brilliantly last season and has started well this. Well their loss, let's hope he keeps playing well for us.
Sounds awful but let's hope everybody keeps overlooking Barnsley and their players. We can catch a lot of people off their guard if they keep thinking they are up against "little old Barnsley"
RE: Sounds awful but 1. Brighton went down and we went up. 2. They let in lots of goals and we kept over 20 clean sheets. Lets keep having our players overlooked by national bosses. Would much rather they be resting up with us.
RE: Must be gutted... Colgan has been in fine form must be gutted i would be the lad deserve's a chance
