Anthony Pilkington placed on reserve by Ireland for Euro 2016
Disappointing but perhaps not unsurprising news as Anthony Pilkington is placed on the standby list for Ireland.
He had been selected in a 35 man squad, but Martin O’Neill has started to trim that down towards the 23 that he can take to France.
I thought he was a genuine dark horse to make the squad not so long ago, but I think that drought towards the end of the season has ruined his chances.
With Shane Long in such superb form O’Neill probably feels he needs to prioritise other positions.
