I should be made admin on this thread. It would drastically reduce the noise and pages on this. the thread should be called potentially never eligible.
On this issue we need to get real and go and get those who can improve our team.
I would get very satisfied if we can get bamford now that they called a Bellingham dude
redmond mikey johnston and Rory's son
Those four im very pleased
None of those have made no indication that they are interested in playing for Ireland, Bamford said it would be a dream to play for England, and Johnston has been out of favour at Celtic for almost a year.
Really need to stop engaging this lad's babbling. Must be the 5th time he's repeated the same thing in this thread alone.
Put it on ignore like I have done !Quote:

who were the people that jumped to conclusions? Were they longtime contributors here? Infrequent posters, frequent readers? They voyeuristic types? Outsourcing their opinions to others? Creating opinions through consumption of others opinions?Quote:

Yeah thats what it seems
Good, then stop asking for him to be called up
I see the Athletic have an article on Callum Robinson and Jack Grealish and their relationship. It references that Reece James has Irish roots and was approached by the FAI. Never heard that.

Lads, this guy was on the bench today for Getafe. 17 years of age. Big one.
First mentioned here more than eight years ago: https://foot.ie/threads/169227-Zak-GilsenanQuote:

Wonder are they just giving random youth prospects outings with the senior team?

Doesn't even have a transfermarkt profile.
Seems like the FAI need to get on the phone fairly sharpish. If Tipp beat Mayo next weekend then his aul lad might not be in the humour for a phone call from an association also ravaged by a son of Tipperary.
Getafe's Spanish wikipedia page - https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getafe...rama_deportivo - has this up arrow symbol https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...efence.svg.png next to Nolan's and Finn's name
According to the table legend, this indicates "Canterano" - but Google translate isn't coming back with anything for this, anyone speak Spanish?
<EDIT>
Apparently it means "reserve player" - https://www.collinsdictionary.com/di...lish/canterano
But can also mean "home grown player" - https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/canterano
Bielsa speaks SpanishQuote:

Talked to a friend of mine who speaks Spanish, it means a player from the reserves, or youthsQuote:

The difference between nolan and flnn
Nolan belongs to their b team and was promoted
Finn belongs to the first team, wasnt demoted or anything like that.
Actually Nolan is not a canterano because he did all his youth system progressions for Inter Milan
Yes, means reserve player or youth or a substitute of a very young age.Quote:

You speak Spanish. Let's nip that one in the bud.
ok but for instance, in Spain most people speak with posh the present perfect. That's very weird in Uruguay and Argentina people use simple past instead of present perfect.Quote:

The basques will speak euskera
the catalonians the catalá
and the galicians the gallego
We also have two extra tenses (recent past and continuous present) in Ireland that aren't used in England.
I still speak English. You still speak Spanish.
Basque is something completely different and not relevant to this.
Could you give some examples? Present continuous is standard English or are you talking about something else? Genuinely interested as I wasn't educated in Ireland.Quote:

Continuous (or habitual) present is indicates by "He does be" - "He does be working every day", from the Irish "Bíonn sé ag obair gach lá." So it's the difference between "Tá sé ag" and "Bíonn sé ag" in Irish.Quote:

They won't have a clue what you're talking about in England if you use either phrase. My book editor was English for example and the "after dropping" phrase is in the book; he didn't know what it meant. I had to assure him no-one in Ireland would think twice about it
Is this more of a Munster thing all the same ?Quote:

The other is quite common all over the country afaik
Thank you my dear flower of Ireland.Quote:
