Quotethe call up will mean nothing unless the EL lads get a proper game at the highest level
Ehmm i dont get your point ! PP afaik has never really expressed his dissillusionment at his continued (and of course inexplicable) absence from the Ireland squad .Originally Posted by Peadar

He called Gamble's call up a joke because he plays in the EL - yet mods a forum about Irish football. Do you not see the contradiction? Is there reason to debate with a little boy that knows nothing of the wider world outside his´' bubble?
My point is that some people progress and move up from their lowly status. Others don't. Therefore, it's ridiculous to use his past as a reason to deny him an opportunity now.

Classic .... that is pure gold !!
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
I'm also a mod on the board here and I dont agree with PP on that point but I dont call him a little boy , You can try to influence and maybe peoples opinions by making good debate and elequantly phrasing your point rather than name calling
Gentlemen and ifk101, if you can't see the wind-up for what it is then I suggest you spend some more time out there amongst the people. Honestly! And FWIW I'm shocked that the king of the wind-ups should fall for his own trick. Peadar, I'm genuinely surprised at you.
IFK, spend some time posting here first before you chuck the shît around. Cuss me all you like but I ask that you at least spend some time building up some on-board credibility first.
And as for the rest of you Corkie hot-heads... you should try some self-love before you all start spouting off to a straightforward wind-up. It might save an awful lot of tension!

There's a difference. Doyle was hugely impressive when he was in the EL and with the Ireland under-21s. In my opinion, Gamble is a mucker with nothing to offer the Ireland squad.

Alright lads ... can you all calm down on the mod thing .... Just because PP is a mod, doesn't mean he isn't entitled to an opinion. To be fair, if you're attacking him with that as part of your argument then it aint much of an argument.
Can we all just keep it football please ..... for the record, PP .... your opinion is cráp !!

Are you open minded though ?? ..... if Gamble has a stormer, if he has an unreal game .... with you change your opinion accordingly ??
To be honest, anyone that leads their argument "if he is an eL player ... " ... its complete cráp, if the guy is good enough then he is good enough, no matter where he is. You can do all the comparisons you want but it wont change the fact.
And one question, why is he getting called up so late if it is tokenism?

Fair enough so !!

Okay. So its a wind-up now. He digged himself too big a hole that is less than normal sized body (formerly called "little") realised that there was no climbing out. Classic!
As a mod, I don't know why I never thought of using that quote.No one except me when someone's challenging ma authoritay. Respect ma authoritay!

If the lad plays a stormer then fair play to him. Of course I will change my mind. I want the best players playing for Ireland. But that is the reason why I'm not happy with his call-up. I don't think he's good enough.
I didn't say that his call-up can be attributed to tokenism. However, I do think there are better players available to Stan.

To you I concede nothing. You should notice that my concessionary point on Gamble was made before you started this high-horse rodeo.

When I said fair play to Joe he deserves it, it was not a dig at you. Your entitled to your opinion!! You are being a bit over sensitive.
Apoligise? I stand by what I said - who does give a s**t if your a mod?
Answer: nobody - except for you
