Irish soccerball nil - That boy Bazunu will save us (Part 1) ๐Ÿ

I know but it just highlights how much resources England have compared to us.

Limerick have more goalkeeper coaches than Ireland

Shur their goalie is the 3rd best centre back in Ireland

Rave reviews about Johhansen with the under 21s. Could be a game changer with him in midfield. Hopefully he pushes on with Seville.

Heโ€™ll probably want to advance his career and declare for Luxembourg Iโ€™d say?

We fucked Luxembourg up good and proper there.

If only.

Weโ€™ll have to settle for Stevies young lad.

100% correct
The โ€œcoachingโ€ players get at international level is more trying to get fellas used to each other , not to develop them as players
Hanging out with Dean Kiely and Keith Andrews would probably only give a young player bad habits and as we discussed earlier here unless you are Irish and want to play for your country which is great playing international football with the likes of the ROI/NI will not benifit your career or value ( the most important of all) in any way if you are a young lad doing well in the EPL, .

Now if you are the likes of Scott Hogan who cant get a game in League 1 then yeah it is attractive to have an irish grandmother as itโ€™ll keep you semi relevant, but apart from that - the likes of โ€œMipoโ€ at west ham, the club and his agent know this is probably best avoidedโ€ฆ at all costsโ€ฆ get an England cap, jackpotโ€ฆ but fucking hell an ROI cap brings utterly nothing apart from risk of injury as Spock gets them to run 40 laps or something with Dean Kiely doing 200 pressups in the background

I remember Bale saying in an interview before that his agent wanted to him to play for England as it would be worth more to him.

Match day

It appears he did ok without it tbf.

That is true and it was when he was breaking through at Southampton that this conversation took place. Same agent as Grealish.

TBF Bale appeared to be going nowhere at Spurs. It was obvious he had it, but his career was looking like it was never going to spark. Took fair mental strength to hang in there and turn it around.

No different to non match day

Spock was on the radio this morning. To say that he is not an accomplished media performer would be understating it somewhat.

Shits on for 70 odd seconds for an answer which should take 20. It is almost like these questions catch him unawares
