Trap casts his eye on Long and Coleman ahead of Ireland squad announcement

The veteran manager is at Goodison Park today.

IRELAND MANAGER GIOVANNI Trapattoni was pictured with England boss Roy Hodgson at todayโ€™s Premier League game between Everton and West Brom at Goodison Park.

Trap will undoubtedly be keeping an eye, in particular, on the two Irish players on the field today โ€“ Shane Long and Seamus Coleman.

However, any hopes he might have of persuading Darron Gibson to return to the international fold will have to be put on hold for now โ€“ the midfielder is unavailable for Everton today due to injury.

The Ireland manager announces his squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Austria and Sweden in Dublin tomorrow.

    The main problem with ravel at Wigan is location heโ€™s only 20 mins away from the influences and problems that had him shipped out at old Trafford , best of luck to him but I canโ€™t see him being anything near what he should have been

    Well hopefully heโ€™ll look at pogba who he won the fact youth cup with. Compare their respective careers and wages, and start to cope on.
