Rooney has had a cracking season with Aberdeen, deserves a call up to the squad. Hopefully he plays shite against Scotland though!!

I agree with all of this!

I don't think he'll start against Scotland, even though Walters was pretty hopeless at Celtic Park.

Shane Long rarely sticks one in the net but is dynamic and causes problems with his speed & tenacity. Robbie Keane has been a legend and is arguably Ireland's greatest ever player but age has caught up with him although he is worth keeping in the squad to put on with 20 minutes left and we are chasing a goal. 

Walters is big & tough but not top level. Rooney may not set the international scene on fire but he's a very welcome addition to the squad and will surely be a starter in the near future.

Adam Rooney finally makes the Ireland squad!

Jack Grealish can bugger off at this stage tbh.

Netherlands vs USA starting in a bit, should be a good game. Also a chance to see Depay in action.

Only half an hour gone and already an assist for Memphis! Quality ball into Huntelaar!

Two goals and an assist for Di Maria. Good to see him getting his form back. Two goals for Fellaini as well.

Robbie Keane's cousin has died in a work accident here in Ireland and his other cousin is in a serious condition.

Stay strong Robbie! It must be written in the stars he will get the winner against Scotland this weekend!

Robbie's other cousin has passed away ffs
