he wants back in after the euros
“I am buzzing about the European Championships and I will be supporting the team all the way.”
He's a madman. It's not that long ago he was saying when he sees us on the telly he feels nothing! He did say that, didn't he? I'm 99% sure he did. Anyway, I guess this story will just run and run. It must be the longest saga in Irish football history at this stage.
I wouldn't mind the baldy runt returning to squad duty after the Euros.
But I'll believe his promise to commit when I see it happening.
Is it just me or is he not that good anyway? I don't see what all the fuss is about. As the great George Best would say he can't tackle, can't head the ball, doesn't score enough goals (anymore), is too slow and drifts in and out of games but other than that he's okay.

I think that is conclusive enough. I don't ever want to see this guy in green again. We really don't need him! A total 'mé féin-er' who now wants to join a ready-made successful team and would most likely just cause disharmony in the squad. Even considering recalling him before the Euros would be nothing short of madness.
Even if he begs to be considered for selection and apologies for everything that has happened...
Trap is NEVER going to call him up. Look at the grudges he has held in the past and still holds (Wilson)
I hope I've emphasized the 'never' enough :)
I don't think Trap does hold a grudge against Wilson. I recall someone on here stating that Trap said it was a misunderstanding. Can't find a media reference though. In saying that, I agree with what you say otherwise. I doubt Trap would have much time for a player who's insulted him publicly.Quote:

His passing, movement and vision are amongst the best in the EPL. It is my belief that he's better than most say he is, his potential is staggering and he'd be very dangerous if he got to work under a talented technical coach. That may be unlikely to happen and combined with his attitude he may always just be someone whose career sparks occasionally but never really delivers, but there's certainly good reason why he can't just be discarded and forgotten about.Quote:

So he doesn't want to play friendlies, just Germany in October I guess. Any other games he is willing to give up playing against Stoke and Sunderland reserves for? Brazil 2014/France 2016/Russia 2018 maybe???Quote:

That is great! How long did it take to do that Worm?! :clap:
Where's the 'thank' button gone?Quote:

I'm sure he'll be spectacular in the post-Italian era though.
Whole process (including gathering pictures) took basically the duration of the Shrewsbury - Crawley match which I was hoping to watch but once I got the picture in my head I couldn't stop. Probably could've made it better but rushed it a bit so I could pay full attention to the end of the match.Quote:

It's disappeared a bit of late, but like you infer Danny, this is certainly worthy of appreciation!Quote:

Oh Christ, my non-Christian education has screwed me over. Actually, I think the alteration makes it look better. I figured Judas would be the guy in the back whispering. Some Newcastle fans might like the original though.Quote:

So if we are to believe the Da Vinci code, Trap and RK are secretly married?
