Long hoping to catch Trapattoni's eye
Shane Long has warned Robbie Keane and Kevin Doyle he will push them all the way as he attempts to snatch a place in Giovanni Trapattoni's Euro 2012 team.
The 25-year-old West Brom striker stated his case eloquently on Saturday when he came off the bench to head the Republic to a 1-0 friendly victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina at the Aviva Stadium.
