This is brilliant news. Now, I hope they don't start him and he gets a rest but great to hear he's in contention.

In contention to play today so must be back and fit. Ferguson has done a few things in the last few weeks that have made me smile and shake my head in disbelief. Hoping today is another day like that.
YBIG seem to have fallen hook line and sinker for the media’s line that the potential to deflect to England is a real one.
That kind of talk should really be made a ban-able offense at this stage. Does nothing but send the entire forum into a tangent over absolutely nothing.Quote:

But unless and until there is anything more to it than internet forum chat it's not really worth discussing too much further.
I don't think anyone claimed there was evidence though?
Agree with the rest of your post of course.
if i was evan, i'd remove all the pics of ireland and references to ireland from my insta - just for a day - just to see everyone absolutely lose their mind and then go back to normal like nothing happened
There was one guy on YBIG who claimed to have heard from a family member of Ferguson that discussions were happening. It is nonsense though, even just this week Richard Dunne was at some FAI event with Evans father Barry who works for the FAI, Dunne talking about Evan being the future of the Ireland team etc.Quote:

Yeah, touch wood March ends all this (like with Obafemi), but I'm still confused as to what tets was talking about!
I really hope England don't take our Massive Ferguson.
I think Tets, like the rest of us is sick of the shyte talk and will ban anyone that says Ferguson might declare for England unless they can show the evidence that its happening.... Im not opposed to that idea at this stage ;)

Ah ok - a pre-emptive warning seems fair. I didn't think anyone had actually claimed it here!
Nah, it was from the YBIG discussion. The guy that mentioned having the source of info there sparked 5 or 6 pages of crapQuote:

Yeah but can he do it on a (possibly) cold, wet night in (not) Stoke on a Tuesday night? Yes he can!
Simple goal, but you have to know where to be and how to time your run. It's like he's been knocking them in for years!

A very simple goal and a simple run but well timed and in the right area to give himself the best possible chance. I hope we've the players playing capable of making those runs so he can get in behind like that
His run was lovely to watch in isolation of the play. The look, the acceleration and the finish. Nice.
Its amazing how good strikers seem to get "easy" goals. His movement is brilliant and it puts him in right place at right time
Reminds me of Wayne Gretsky's famous comment: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”Quote:

He's finished Joe!
Watched the second half of the game and he played well. Great touches and link up play. Had a decent chance but the defender nicked the ball off his toe - would have been similar to the goal he scored earlier in the week.
Did ok in first half, kept it simple, had one difficult tame effort with his left foot. He did some wonderful link up play in second half and showed great awareness, his back heel flick to set March on his way the highlight. Had a tap in taken off his toe, another shot with left blocked, had a good low drive with his right foot saved well, and then blew one over prior to him being substituted when he tried to bend it into the top right. Good outing, continues to develop nicely. Starting against France without question
No goals but great overall play today. Holds the ball up well, two very clever/classy flicks including one in the buildup to the third goal.
Brighton have a brilliant possession-with-purpose brand of football, and Ferguson is playing an important role within that system. What’s encouraging to see as I watch him is that his contributions go far beyond goalscoring.
he seems fat and slow vs leeds good link with irishman WC winner good chemistry, looked weary and burnt out, and so fat, what are they feeding him with? feedlot? i much prefer skinny mobile EVAN from autrefois lads, he gained like 8 kilos, and his legs are so robust now, they used to be sninny skilful legs, dont agree with that, they are killing his attributes
I'm sorry, but this is truly idiotic stuff.Quote:

He's none of those things BI. retract that post.
