In my opinion Stephen Ireland is a great player who is on top form in the Premier League and it would be great to see him play for Ireland again. But where would he fit into Trapatoni's system of two holding midfielders? Would he change it around to suit Stephen Ireland or would he play him on the wing?

So lads where has been the best place ye have ever been to and why?

Mine has to be backpacking around South East Asia.
The craic was 90,food was excellent, mingling with different nationalities.
Scenery and historical sites was breath taking fom Vietnam to cambodia.
Floating down the river in a tube(like a big rubber tyre) in Laos with a bottle of beer in one hand and trying to paddle with the other!
Full moon party off thailand, never seen a beach go so mental
Not to mention the lovely cailiní in all these places!

Well Woops apart from the lovely parish of Firies I'd have to say Croatia.

Lovely country - absolutely stunning scenery. Mountains, lakes, coastline - all unbelievable.
Very cheap too. Bottle of beer - 1 euro. Dinner in a restaurant - 10 to 15 euro for 2 courses. Apartment for a night - 20 euro. Taxi - a third the price of Dublin.
Women - stunners (they put the girls of Firies to shame). Great nightlife. Everyone's up for the craic.
Weather - blue skies and 30 degrees. Water is crystal clear, although it's a bit cold and fairly salty (blame the whales).
People - very friendly, love the Irish. Croatia, along with Poland, has something like the highest proportion of Catholicism in Europe, and they know all about the Irish and our history with England. The people treated us like we were relations.

To anyone that hasn't been there - do go.

This post was brought to you on behalf of the Croatian Tourism Board! :)

Yes I agree.Was there. Great place. Met a Croatian who is a big Meath supporter, believe or not. He spends part of the year in Ireland. One negative about him is that he called the Gooch a pussycat.

I met a tall enough Croatian lad, late 20's/early 30's on the main street in Dubrovnik with an old Kerry jersey, he had the cúpla focail as well. He was all chat with me, he said that he worked for the Kerryman for a while and lived in Listowel. He also called the Gooch a pussycat! Hmmmm..........

Never been to Thailand but lived in Australia for a few years. Did a bit of travelling round South Korea , Singapore and finally Japan to and from Oz. Absolutely loved Japan. Great people and culture. Used to dabble in martial arts in my younger days so especially enjoyed Japan & Korea. Good tip for the 'ladyboys' woops. Every man's nightmare is a 'crying game' situation!!

Go away out of that! The reason it was built in lovely Farranfore was because they needed a prime site of good level land! And they knew they'd get plenty of business from all us rich Firies men!
