Darron Gibson starts in Midfield

[The Watcher Pat]

Wilson is highly regarded by his manager but it looks like he will have to make the breakthrough at club level.
He is too old for the u21´s, is not part of the current senior squad or even part of the B team that played Notts Forest.

He was Portsmouth young player of the year last year and your right very highly rated at Pompey...He was 21 in August there. I'm not sure about the rules for U21 level. I was speaking to him at the weekend there and he told me Don Givens has been on the phone to him. NI representatives have also been in contact with him but he assures me he wont play for them.

we could have steven ireland and kevin nolan in there. could carsely not still do a job or even rory delap?

Kevin Nolan doesnt want us and Rory Delap has hung his international boots up afaik.

[Main Street]

Wilson can't play for "them" now. He has been capped at underage level for the Republic and he is over 21.
Even if technically he could play for the u21´s, Givens is looking more to the younger players.

No the NI game is on sky sports.
Germany wales is the only one on free tv - BBC3

RTE is free to view as well - no?

Sorry meant in the north! and you can get rte on sky and virgin but they are blocked.
The ROI are on sky sports up here.

Ah your f**king kidding me!!!


Whats the story with Kevin Nolan?


Seriously Nifan, your kidding right?

[Main Street]

Kevin Nolan is over 21 years old and cannot declare for the Republic as he has already been capped by England at underage level.
But he can apply for an irish passport

Don't worry GDA, while we're watching the match you can watch 'Diary of a...Groom' on TV3 

[stiffler]

Heading down to the game here now, heres hoping for a good atmosphere, performance and result!



oh- and good luck to norn iron as well (although i doubt many of them would repeat that shout!!)

Can't get TV3 up here in deepest North Belfast!

Seriously are those cnuts in Virgin going to block the match on RTE?

[Main Street]

Now you have a good excuse to go drinking again.

[nifan]

Well they certainly block the CL matches on rte, which they didnt used to even when sky did for years.
I expect the international matches will be the same.

They are only blocked on Digital channels...Terrestrial aerials are ok

[his holiness nb]

lets be honest, Darron is just not good enough for this level and is an embarassment to our shirt.

Lucky for you so that he is playing for the Republic tonight!

I'd prefer to give the guy a chance before declaring him not up to it.

[fred the red]

Is there no rule to block WUMs on this site???


that lad has been at it since day 1.
