Not named in the final 23 man ROI squad

As Roy Keane once said to Mick.. "You can stick it up your b*******."

Bang in a Hat Trick tomorrow Podge and make the next squad.

That's a shame. At 30 he probably won't get another chance. Having watched a few Ireland games of late I think he is worthy of the chance. Not for his goals against League 2 sides but because against Spurs, Leicester and Manchester City he has scored three times in four games against three teams who have all played in the latter stages of the Champions League.

Yes I think that he should have played---he scored 3 goals against top teams and I think he would have done a good job for his country team too........Keep it going Podge !!...a superb professional !!! Bob Bassett

Podge, You are a credit to both Newport County, and The Irish Republic, You will be revered for a very long time,both "in the Port , and in Eire".....Well done to you Sir.......Class, and "modern day Newport County Legend"

Agree with you there. I can't see him being seen as having kept his fitness up for the June internationals unless we make the playoffs. Can't even take joy in the fact he will be available for us.
Crying shame both these matches are qualifiers, a friendly might have made it more likely.

Their loss, our gain.
