Irish soccerball nil - That boy Bazunu will save us (Part 1) 🐐

The first generation Irish would have a strong Irish connection and be some bit loyal, beyond that the cunts are full English

99% of lads good enough to play for England are going to play for England. The lads not good enough to play for England will still be available to pick when they are older. I don’t see any upside to it

“Big” Mick McCarthy fucked up badly here.

Strongly disagree rating

@Watchyourtoes

MON should have capped him from the start simple as.

We simply need to stop picking English born players in underage squads barring exceptional circumstances. There’s absolutely no point to it

The lads who are deemed not good enough to be picked for an Irish underage team because there’s a couple of English born lads starting are not going to be good enough to play senior international football for Eire.

[the_man_himself]

They may or may not be. What’s the point in playing an English born lad there?

@the_man_himself

They may or may not be. What’s the point in playing an English born lad there?

i) Because the English born lad may well develop into a senior international for Eire.

ii) Because the English born lad is deemed good enough to be in the team and therefore will improve that team’s chances of doing well, therefore enhancing the other players’ development.

It’s a similar enough situation to Dublin underage hurling teams picking lads who are good at Gaelic football.

If he’s not good enough for England he’ll still be able to play for Ireland later on

Just as an Irish player deemed not good enough for international teams at the moment might improve playing alongside better players

‘We took their potatoes and now we’re taking their rice’ chants on Twitter from the Brits. Nice.

Ok, sorry … I just remember you getting very emotional about your grandfather (RIP) fighting for King and country.

No more paddy fields .

@Ashman

No more paddy fields .

Our Paddy field has no Rice
Which is not very nice
We went and threw the dice
And picked him for Eire thrice

We said “Eire is paradise
So come and have a slice
England you can sacrifice
That is our advice”

His passes are precise
We thought we had him in a vice
As Irish as a suspect device
But lately he’s been quiet as mice

Appeals would not suffice
We couldn’t afford his price
He was as cold as ice
So our Paddy field has no Rice

[backinatracksuit]

To what tune?

@backinatracksuit

To what tune?

There is no tune.

Try sean nosing it in a Sinead O’Connor voice like it’s about the famine, or something.

[Ashman]

It needs a good Connemara lament sean nós style . Joe Heaney singing the rocks of bawn comes to mind .

[backinatracksuit]

The future just combined for a superb goal at Deepdale, Alan Browne is in outrageous form lately

Connemara’s own Harry Kane the man for the job.
