FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Maroon Manc]

Yes although as i noted earlier in terms of cv for alot of these lads an international career with ireland is better than no career at all with england. Thats why some need to think things through a bit more. Tabi under the existing rules cant switch back now, would he not have been better waiting a few years and then if he did develop into some top player then switch

This makes sense to me. So maybe, just maybe, Grealish has plumped for England because he feels a greater affinity with England?

I suspect the difference between lads like Townsend, McAteer & Aldridge etc, and todays young lads, is that years ago the lads listened to good advice, nowadays they listen to their agents.

It was a lot more difficult to get an England cap back then though, more English players players in the top division, far less rotation and players didn't pull out of squads as much.

All this had a knock on affect to ourselves, the 3 players mentioned would all have been good enough to make the England squad on a regular basis nowadays.

I'm surprised Noble hasn't declared for Ireland, he's never going to get an England cap.

I wonder has Danny Drinkwater been looked into, he's playing really well by all accounts; There's got to be some Irish in him as his middle name is Noel and he's from Manchester

He'd be Drinkporter if he was Irish.

I'm off to Orlando next year. I wanted to play a few rounds. The last time I was in the States it cost about $200 a round with club hire. Is there a cheaper way?

Yeah, don't play elite courses, I play excellent courses in Florida for thirty bucks, check online for specials and you will be sorted.

One more thing, they have demo clubs, tell them you are looking at buying a new set but want to try them out first, thye will take your License and when you get back and say they didnt suit you, you will get your license back.

Should we discuss Euro 2016 in the Golf thread now?

Michael Keane is been linked with a move to a number of premier league clubs in January, having a really good season apparently. I hope O'Neil and Keane are still on his case, its a position where we're desperate for someone coming through.

Alan Judge should be worth a look in the Switerzland friendly...

Draw on December 12th will be massive for logistics of getting to and from games. Booked free cancellation accomodation in every host city with the exception of Bordeaux where prices are ridiculous, booked La Rochelle instead for there.

What about his twin brother?

He's suffered a lot with injuries in the last 4 years, I was never that convinced about him anyway. Just checked he's 23 in January and doesn't appear to be doing that well at Preston. United must rate him as he's only on loan from the club. It was Michael who previously represented Ireland, I was told their father was from Dublin and given the School they went too over here I'm surprised they've not declared for Ireland.
