....interesting but not surprising. When the Republic recently qualified for the Euro's it was very noticeable how the players and staff appeared to focus on Coleman. Lots of respect there I think.

The captain decides who takes spot kicks. Step forward Belgian Kev
If you advocate a model with separate club and team captains, you are asking the holders of the two posts to do two different things. The club captain would presumably be the one that speaks to the media, attends functions on the club's behalf etc etc. Essentially a PR role? This needs to be someone who is media-savvy and also perceived by the media in the "right way" - not so young to be seen as inexperienced, not so old to be seen as past it. Neither too safe and boring nor too fiery and controversial. Must be able to speak with some eloquence and intelligence. In this squad I'd say you are looking at Jagielka or Barry
The team captain carries out a match day role, primarily on the field, and some of the various aspects of that role include handling the referee and leading the team. You also need more than one person capable of taking on this role because your chosen captain may come off injured or be sent off. The main issue for me is that different players have different psychological needs and triggers, so respond in different ways to different type of leadership. Some people need a blood-and-thunder type of captain who will "lead the charge". Others are very capable of self-motivating and may need a calm, cool-thinking captain on hand to ensure they remain in control and focused. The media side of things is far less of an issue, but obviously the team captain has to be in the starting lineup on merit. At the moment the choices are Jagielka, Barry, Coleman and McCarthy. I would personally add Mirallas to the list but it's barely worth mentioning as Martinez is dead set against letting him play and many fans want him gone.

There was a very good post here earlier on that made a good point by @Coachmarkjohnson - he removed it from public view but us staff can see it. Your post here was one of the things he said.
@Coachmarkjohnson - you made an interesting post mate, no need to have removed it
He captained Ireland in one of the qualifiers I think, although it may have been a friendly.
Rom should be Supreme Overlord.
So you're proposing an anarchosyndicalist commune?
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
Leaders don't need permission to lead, but wearing the armband is an important role. As far as "Club Captain" is concerned, I'm not impressed with the title but a guy like Baines is heavily involved in the community through the club, so seems like he qualifies. I'm not arsed with who specifically wears the armband if the squad is filled with the right kind of character.
...you're right, I think he did.
