brian_a_mul added 15:36 - Mar 28 O'Dea played very well on saturday. I think he has the ability to play at a higher level than Championship. He is still young player and if he is available we should be interested. Than again I would prefer St Ledger. He was out injured hense O' Dea starting

Eireannach_gorm added 12:32 - Mar 29 O'Dea did play well but at centre half. Ironically McAuley normally plays right back for Northern Ireland.
