can you legally bet on sports in Ireland?

Yup, so long as there's not a conflict of interest or anything.

Maguire scored two goals for Den Bosch and set up two others in the club's 4-1 victory over PSV's reserves on Monday night : http://balls.ie/football/emerald-exiles-how-the-irish-fared-around-the-world-last-weekend/


Remember Barry Maguire? After scoring for FC Utrecht against Celtic in the Europa League a few seasons back, this Eredivisie based midfield man was earmarked as a potential senior Ireland cap. He flew to Dublin, even met with Giovanni Trapattoni. A move to VVV Venlo followed, as did injury troubles and relegation. Maguire fell off the radar.

Well, this year he’s back. On Monday night, Maguire scored two goals and made the other two in FC Den Bosch’s 4-1 win over PSV reserves in the Dutch second tier. Since returning to his boyhood club last September, the Dutch-Irish playmaker has found his fitness and form and was imperious as Den Bosch moved to within three points of third place in the race for promotion.

Looks like Roy will be on a charter to Holland post haste.

'Clockwork Orange: Barry Maguire still hopeful of representing Ireland': http://www.thescore.ie/barry-maguire-ireland-1431392-Apr2014/


...

“I played in the Europa League for Utrecht against Celtic two months previously and they told me they saw that game”, Maguire told TheScore.ie.

“They invited me over to Dublin in October to go and watch the Russia game. Afterwards, I spoke with Trapattoni in a short meeting. We talked about the game, my future, and maybe coming into the Irish squad.

“There were some upcoming friendly matches in March against Macedonia and Uruguay. But, there were some issues at my own club and I didn’t play again until the summer. Ultimately, I didn’t get an invitation because I was no longer playing regularly for my own team.”

Maguire, the 24-year-old defensive midfielder, qualifies for Ireland through his Dublin-born father. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Maguire dreamed of playing for Oranje but kept his options open, regarding Ireland, as a teenager.

“When I was younger, I went over to Dublin a few times. Mostly, it was every couple of years — not every year. Our family would come over to Holland one year and, the following year, we would go over to them.

“When I was 15, I played a friendly match for Ireland. It was a long time ago, but they had never seen me play before and only put me on for 15 minutes. That was a little bit strange for me. Also, I only spoke to Wim Koevermans [Ireland's then high performance director] once or twice when I was over.”

Ironically, Maguire even faced Ireland’s under-19′s with the Netherlands at Richmond Park in 2009.

However, despite previously pulling out of Ireland’s under-21 squad for a match against Germany, Maguire declared for Ireland in 2010.

Currently playing for his hometown club Den Bosch – who are fourth in the Eerste Divisie – Maguire remains hopeful that he will one day get a call-up to the senior squad.

“Being from a Dutch background might help, but the Premier League and Championship are good competitions and maybe even better competitions. The Dutch leagues are different types of competitions, but there are good players here and it’s an especially good environment for young players.

“I really admire Roy Keane a lot. I’m a United fan, so I always loved Roy Keane. He always did very well as a player and together with Martin O’Neill, I think it’s a very good partnership to lead the Irish national team.”

Is that a commentary on his career or the joke?

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

He only plays when he's ready.

[Stuttgart88]

If only more of our young players went to Holland...

[Philly]

Has signed for semi-pro Dutch side TEC, in the third tier Tweede Divisie. Pity to see things didn't work out the past few years.

From what I could Google Translate, he has had a tough time with injuries and hopes this puts him back in the shop window once he proves his fitness.

[osarusan]

Reported to be training with Limerick today.

Do we have to delete this thread now or what?

[NeverFeltBetter]

Is this a good thread to suggest the Limerick ban be revoked? No-ones adhering to it or enforcing it.

[irishfan86]

Can someone explain the ban to me? I still have no clue what it's about, the origin, or anything? Please send me a private message at the least so I can move on with my life.

Limerick's chairman sent a legal legal letter to the site to close Limerick discussion.

[irishfan86]

I can understand if a particular libelous line of discussion was a problem but surely an entire club cannot be "disappeared" from discussion on a football forum. This is absurd.

[pineapple stu]

Welcome to the internet.

Not the first time it's happened, here or abroad.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Limerick's chairman sent a legal legal letter to the site to close Limerick discussion.

The LEDP (crowd that owns Market's Field for the uninitiated) I thought?

Anyway, think an existing Limerick sub-forum with some strict moderation better to current state of affairs. If Bray came back, we should too.

A legal legal letter - that's doubly intimidating, we'd better take that very seriously. Is this like the old joke about the difference between single and double yellow lines - single means no parking at all, double means no parking at all, at all.

Start a thread in feedback.

And fare thee well, we shall miss you.

If only dubious discussion board content could be first directed towards an effective filtering program, for example, into a replica of an Taoiseach Varadkar's brain, after a few pregnant pauses, it should come out the front, squeaky clean, rinsed of all impurities, a perfected state of banality.
