As in Anthony!
Part of statement where he said 4 games wouldn't be good for his preseason.....huh?:rolleyes: as if he was going to play 4 games... as if, what was that all about??? Dogs in street knew that he was only going to play England game and then leave squad and get married 2 days later...
Well if he's in for one game I'd imagine he's in for them all. I have no doubt that Pilkinton's long term fitness will be aided by having a rest this summer, but I reckon it is also a convenient excuse to avoid confrontation with his wife-to-be. I still don't think Trapattoni has fully forgiven Jon Walters for attending the birth of his own child - such trivialities don't factor into his thinking.
You can forget Pilkington for rest of campaign now IMO

You could see this one coming.
"Impressive victories over Georgia and the Faroe Islands." ;)
But in seriousness I am surprised Cox pulled out.
He's either Darren Anderton or a complete joker.
He's either Darren Anderton or Darron Gibson, even. :p
That is disappointing though. Has he always been an injury-prone player?
He hasn't played in Norwich's last 4 games. Last played on 20th July.
This guy won a bet when he gained and posed with that passport. The wager didn't specify what was to happen after that, so he's improvising as best he can for now.
Didn't he do this last season too and then play for Norwich on the opening day?
Well that was a week later and it's unclear where he'd even have been eligible in the first place. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for that.
Still good news about Madden. (assuming he isn't injured)

Whose idea was it to go to Norwich last winter and do an Irish photoshoot with Pilkington???
It was certainly a first in terms of an Irish player declaring for us.....
Was it an FAI idea? Did they smell a chance to stick a jersey on his back before he got cold feet??? Struck me as odd thing at the time.... perhaps I'm just a conspiracy theorist...
Kind of reminds me of politics, if you are not going to do something the more you have to talk about doing it!!!
Even they couldn't even get a top for him without the sponsor on it.

I solidified my Irishness motherf**ker! What have you done?!
Looks like Trap believes it's just an injury issue. He suggests Pilkington is getting from game to game with injections and should probably just give himself time to recover.

Sounds like he's a permanent injury concern and will not be available for international duty as he will need that time to recover.
