Darron gibson: He looked very comfortable on the ball last night and picked out one very precise pass. Thought he fitted in quite well... Good player for the future.

if u feel the debate is over than why not just leave the debate - stop reading?
there is an element of the child who doesnt want to do something but yet doesnt want anyone else to do it either.
Bill, I agree with you on this, but you know some of the mods so you should be able answer that question better than some! :)Quote:
i dont see why it was locked other than the fact there seems to be a clique on here who seem to want to stifle any debate. if people dont want to debate it anymore why do they read it?
In the case of the DG thread being locked, he has a point tets, though i have to say i got bored of EG twisting every post and being blatantly stubborn and ignorant.

There is one good reason, Ealing G might return.
i happen to think he is a good poster. the wider spectrum of opinion on the board the better.
I find him fairly intelligent on most matters and he obviously puts a lot of effort into his posts. He also doesn't come across as anywhere near the ignorant fool as some of the company he keeps on OWC (though not all).Quote:

He doesn't seem to be particularly fond of our beloved football team either no matter what he claims.
This is my professional opinion based on the psychological profile I have built up using only the posts of EalingGreen on this forum and OWC over a number of years. A picture of how I think he looks is available in this link:

is this how you look tho.....?;);)

I presume Gibson will go out on loan this season.Sunderland last year seemed to benefit from two youngsters from Man U(Simpsom&Evans).I could see our Darren heading for somewhere like Cardiff to continue his development.
Aye - this is the most staggering, screwed-point-of-view, downright wrong post of the lot:Quote:

Many players from the Nationalist community have pulled on the Green Jersey of Norn Iron with pride through the years and gave 100% Some were the greatest we have ever had I have total respect for them all including those in the current squad . In my view the reason many of these defectors go to the South is Political. Basically they are sectarian bigots. Sad but True. They are the ones who need to give sectarianism the red card
Disappointing that Nigel Worthington tried to stir up a lot of difficulty for the lad during the week.
Gibson said he had told Worthington that he was not interested in playing for the North, yet Worthington went running to one of the Sunday rags throwing all sorts of lies around.

Pretty sad really, but well done to Darron and a loan deal at a championship side should be his next priority.
I think he could end up staying at Man Utd. He was very impressive in pre-season and many fans have been calling for him to be in the first team squad. I think he might get some action soon enough, and I don't mean the Carling Cup.Quote:

As for the eligibility issue - I'm simply not sure what the legal situation is. Gibson should, in my opinion, be allowed play for us -I'm just not sure that by the letter of FIFAs regs he's entitled to (assuming he doesn't have parents/grandparents born in the FAI jurisdiction for arguments sake).
I will say this -in the event Gibson plays in one of the upcoming qualifiers and we finish ahead of say the Czechs ...if I were a Czech FA official I'd chance my arm with an appeal to UEFA/FIFA claiming Ireland fielded an ineligible player just to see if I could get some points docked. It'd be mischievious and vexatious but it'd be naive to think it couldn't happen and I'm sure it's not the way anyone would like a case tested.

If you are not sure about the legal situation then do the research or ask a question.
Residency requirements etc. do not apply here.
He was already tied to Ireland before gaining a senior cap.
Lionel, dont be so naive about that one.Quote:

Man U have so many midfielders at the moment its hard to see Darron getting a run there.A championchip club would seen ideal.A midfield pairing of Gibson and Garvan at the next WC could be an exciting prospect.If you have a quality central midfield it gives the rest of the team a great platform.
There's a difference between nationality and citzenship.
Nationality isn't based on political borders whilst citzenship is.
Do we have Scots, English, Welsh and N.Irish players choosing which of the home nations they want to represent? All of these players are citizens of the same country.
FIFA rules are based on nationality - that's why there are the parents, grandfather rules.
Naturally I hope you're right. I genuinely do.Quote:

Naive about what exactly? You don't think a promising youngster from this jurusdiction wouldn't take dogs abuse here if he decided to play for Norn Iron? Now who's being naive.Quote:
