I noticed nobody has a thread about this guy. I'm sure he knows his limitations but he's probably the worst defender playing international football. There is more technical ability in a budgies knee cap. People can point at Duffer, Henry, McGeady etc but IMO this idiot is 150% responsible for that goal.

Bread and butter clearance for a defender, what in gods name was he doing letting it run not knowing where Henry was??????.

If Trap does anything of use it will be banish this guy from International Football, he's simply not remotely near that level

Paul Mcshane from hi de hi would be a better footballer I reckon than this plank.

like everyone, when george hamilton said he was coming on, i was shouting no at the telly.Traps priority must be to find a suitable replacement at right back, so oshea can switch to the left side. Kilbane has been a fantastic servant to the country, but his time is surely up also.

Doubt he retired, he's only 26 i think

Hes actually the worst player i have ever seen.

Im being 100% serious in saying a LOI right back would have cleared that ball last night.

Very brave gutsy player. He blocked a near certain goal just after coming on. His tackle for the booking left him on dodgy ground.

Obviously should have done better for the goal but then again Dunne was no genius either.

Hate to see this lad being made a scapegoat when 2 bob Thierry is the villain of the piece.

He is a **.

This guy is a total donkey.Himself and Gary Docherty are the two worst players ever to wear an Irish jersey.How they have made it as professional footballers is a complete mystery.

Had 2 texts from ppl as soon as McShane was stripped and ready to come on. One said 'I smell an OG' , and the other read 'Oh fk no, not McShane'.

His defending for the goal summed him up, brainless. Too worried about what was behind him when all he had to do was clear the ball with his big fat ginger head.

distasteful,leave the guy alone,i'm sure he is well aware of his limitations

The poor man didnt do so bad at all,its easy to be critica;l from ones sofa.If Henry hadnt controlled with his hand and lets face it that was the only possible way he could have kept it in play,then there wouldnt be a word about McShane.Its quite obvious that he isnt Ashley Cole but he tried his best in difficult circumstances.

I don't know how this guy has managed to make a career as a professional footballer.
Report The Great Daylami November 19, 2009 10:41 PM GMT
Among all the controvesy over the goal I almost forgot George Hamilton actually accused him of scoring an OG despite being 3 yards behind the goal?

I guess George didnt know what happened so took an educated guess.

no mention of Shay Given in all of this. Take a look at the goal again on youtube. You will see that Shay is starting to raise his right hand when Henry handles the ball...instead he should have played the whistle and been closing Henry down to stop the cross getting acoss the box...he would have been able to do so if that was all that was on his mind. .....I'm a fan of Given, but he is not blameless here and it is too easy to have a pop at handy targets like McShane...
