Hasn't played Right back in a while,hes a decent CB though.

Bleacher Report is a decent website for football imo. Alaba,Baines,Lahm,Debuchy along with Alves,Marcelo and Alba are on the list. Hardly a list of nobodies, you must not watch football at all if those names aren't recognizable ones to you.

The Scots could learn alot from the Irish, like how to get their Independence, we had to fight for ours,you lot couldn't tick a box. . Leinster should be playing Scotland next November as its hardly fair that the whole nation of Ireland has to play against a province of Britain. James and Aiden, Real players,for a real country.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1933451-dani-alves-and-the-top-20-buccaneering-full-backs-in-world-football/page/10 There you are lad,Seamie number 12, I'd have him higher than that to be honest. But realistically can you think of any Irish or Scots who would be included in such a list,in their respective posistions? McCarthy might get on a "Under rated defensive midfielders of the world" list.

"Marshall is one of the best goalkeepers in the world",thats another cracker I've seen on here.

Agree,don't think McGeadys that good myself,however he played alright vs Georgia.

Seen that Robertson is better than Gibbs on another thread.

I'm guessing your watching Liverpool vs Real Madrid, Coleman is better than either of Moreno,or Arbeloa. Are these two teams a massive step up on either of Ireland or Scotlands squads? Yes. But then again I suppose Bardlsey,Hutton and Robertson are better than any of the fullbacks in this game too..

"More than matching them" would mean a result in my opinion.

Only having a joke lad,don't know why you would take it so seriously.

McCarthy has a higher rating on Fifa 15 though.

I'm not saying Browns a bad player either just incase anyone thinks I am. He will give everything hes got against us and have always admired him as a Celtic player,but country before club,I hope he gets sent off and injured in the process of trying to two foot Jimmy Mc or McGeady.

You must be reading the wrong forum pal. However if you think that the Everton fans think Naismith is one of the first names on the team sheet,and if you agree with that, why don't you go and have a look at what they think of Coleman,and then come back to me. Snodgrass is a good player,but hes not better than McGeady by any stretch. Also I asked the scousers on GrandOldTeam who had a better squad,Ireland or Coleman and the majority said Ireland,just to get a neutral take on it like, have a read of that if you wish,its in the rest of the world section.

Far better Rb than Coleman Imo.

The only reason you are arguing with me is because McCarthy is Scots born. If Coleman was Scottish and McCarthy Irish you would be arguing with me by saying Coleman was better. I don't know how many times you have watched Everton or Ireland, but its no contest as to who the better player is. As for Naismith being a more important player than either, I suggest you head on over go the Everton forum (GrandOldTeam) the common view is that Naismith is a nice guy,who tries his best,but hes not going to help Everton towards top 4, most are of the opinion that as soon as Mirrals,Lukaku and Barkley are back to 100 percent fitness,Naismith will see less and less Game time. Scott Brown is not a top 6 player,he would be good for Stoke or WBA,hes like a Glenn Whelan or a Charlie Adam with abit of passion. Also you say Irish lads are 'creaming themselves' over Coleman but you lads won't shut up about Andy Robertson,who is talented,but come on,hes played no more than 10 games for City,and its the Hull one,not the Manchester one.

Didnt you say Hutton was better than Coleman? Or was it Bardsley.

Ask any Irish man who they would prefer,most would say Coleman. Your even biast in which Irish players you prefer,due to their Scottish ties haha. Coleman is hands down the best player in both squads. Better than that Piscek fella for Poland too.

McCarthy plays with better players,and plays against better players everyweek. You really don't know much about the Irish team if you think Keane is a better player than Naismith. Most Irish people would start Naismith over Keane,9 times out of 10. Only difference is Robbie will pop up with a jammy goal or two. His general play is awful,but as a finisher hes top class. Whereas Naismith just has a poorer record while being a better all round player, same applies to Shane Long sure. McCarthy is a better player than Brown, on his day he is one of the best Holding mid-fielders in the Premier league,many of the English papers were saying how he is a far better player than the poster boy that is Jack Wilshere after Everton2-2Arsenal. As an Everton fan we may not be 'footballing giants' but we bet Arsenal,Chelsea,Unitedx2 last year. Also hopped off Wolfsburg the other week and McCarthy is massively important to Evertons success. My main point has always been that Ireland have 2 players of the quality that Scotland don't have,them being McCarthy and Coleman. Apart from that we are two squads of journey men,at Mid to lower sides in the BPL and the higher end of the championship.

Disgusted that Ireland are playing England a few days before Scotland..

Will Ireland move up from drawing with Germany.

Unfortuneatly theres no way in hell that Uefa will miss out on 100 milliom Germans watching the Euros om the TV,in 2016. I'm delighted that they have been dragged into the fight but I really wouldn't be surprised if a wee bit of 'poor refering' aids them to win the group if needs be. Alls I can say is poor oul Gibraltar are going to get the worst backlash in the history of backlashes,next month.

Unlike the Poland game,the Germans had few clear cut chances, we did not deserve to lose. As for Scotland beating us twice, we will have to see about that...

6 of the world cup winning side was present,so far from a B side,we were missing Coleman and McCarthy too.

Luck? Ireland fully deserved that goal. Nice little draw in Glasgow and we're on our way x
