I await the indignant outrage.
A terrible loss.
I believe he had the faroe islands lined up if the north wouldn't take him.
Aye what an awful loss. Quality player. Could have been the next Paul McShane
I am outraged and indignant.

Look on the brightside Nally at least he isn't playing for the tritor, gombeen, all its people are scum, filthy, unpure, westbrit, Freestate c***ts.
Is there any chance you could grow up a bit or maybe go and sulk somewhere else. At least then you could stop adding stupid threads to the board.

Ah Mayo, hello again. Haven't seen you since you avoided my question to you on the thread about TDs/MLAs and family member employees. Remember the one where I asked you to back up a claim you made? That one.

Alex Bruce

I understand he was inspired to try, try again to establish his international career by watching a spider trying to spin a web in a cave.

Did he have this epiphany on Rathlin Island?
I think so. Maybe if he doesn't make it with OWC, he could play for Rathlin.
He's s**te anyway.
NI have far better Defenders than him (Evans, McAuley, Craigan, Cathart) waiting on the wing should Hughsie retire. It's simply an attempt to win the Caps his Father never managed to win.
ps, Appreciating the irony of the comparison to Paul 'If I'd have done my Job the ball wouldn't have found Thierry's Hand' McShane. ;D
QuoteIt's simply an attempt to win the Caps his Father never managed to win.
NI would have bent over backwards to get Steve Bruce, as would the ROI i am sure.
He wanted to play for England, and unfortuntely it never happened for him.
Alex doesnt seem to have his fathers strength of conviction, obviously feeling ROI where the better team, and now changing as he doesnt look like getting picked there.
If he plays Ill support him, though it cheapens things a bit when he obviously has little respect for ROI fans or NI fans.
nifan, I presume the reaction on OWC (the website) is, er, less than generous?
I dunno - not really on there at all anymore.
From those I have talked to they arent that impressed with him. If he was a better player im sure he would be forgiven by more....
This is absolutely brilliant - it completely makes a mockery of the whole row over players going the other way. Surely another testament too to the stupidity of the IFA - if they had been planning challenges to the dual nationality rule (which wouldnt have been successful anyway in fairness), this weakens their case even further, surely they would have been better waiting to see what way it all panned out before bringing an average player in??!
A pub player for a pub team
jeez chaps,
he isnt that bad a player. there have been (and are) worse playing for england , let alone Ireland or the north of Ireland team.
he'd captain wales or jockoland.
best of luck to him.

As a NI fan, I agree with everything you say. Unfortunately, however, as i am sure you can appreciate, I would not describe it as absolutely brilliant. The stupidity of the IFA is truly astounding, as is their ability to misread the feelings of the fans - Many of whom are now considering binning their block bookings. However, I think neither team / association come out of this well. I think it demeans both teams if ballbags like Adam Barton and Alex Bruce are prepared to switch allegiance so readily.

Agree wholeheartedly.
