im correct in thinking that he could play for england in these games and then go back to ireland..yes? does ireland have any games in this period? also, are these games also friendlies...im just thinking that if ireland had a game and england had a game then i always thought he would have chosen ireland...maybe he doesnt see the harm in playing in this game?
Livehead if your Irish why would you even consider playing for England? I wouldn't say he is desperate to pull on the green jersey like we all would be.
Extended highlights of QPR v Hull on ITV sunday morning.
I think you're right that he can still play for Ireland. I don't think we have an U20 side at the moment.Quote:

There's nothing on Southampton's site about him getting called up for England, mind you there's nothing about him going on loan to Sheffield Wednesday either!!
i dont think there is a prayer of him playing in the match when i come to think about it. wednesday have a game on the 13th at home to southampton...he can play in that game as long as it aint a season long loan. then they next have a game away to ipswich on the 20th. wednesday will not let him travel all the way out to russia for a game on the evening on the 16th. the under 20's aint that important in any country and he would not want to risk coming back tired etc...losing his place, injury. i cant see him playing even if he wanted to, which is another thing that hasn't been confirmed
According to the Southern Daily Echo (the local paper here in Southampton), part of the loan deal is that he CAN'T play against Saints, and I think it said it was either a 2 or 3 month deal.Quote:

No offence, but I think you're clutching at straws. I hope to be proved wrong but if Best didn't have any intention of playing in this match, he wouldn't be in the squad. He would have said that he wanted to be considered for selection - I doubt it's as if the coaches just pick anyone without seeing if they want to play.
I seen Best play in both legs of FA Youth Final and he didn't impress me. The guy who stole the show for me in the first leg was Owen Garvan, who made his debut for Ipswitch on Saturday to rave reviews.
Well, Best scored last night against Hull and then broke his toe. That's the end of him appearing again for Wednesday unless his toe has the same magical recuperative powers that Dunne's has.
hows richie partridge doing?
Partridge was an unused sub last night
he came on in the 79th minute for chris eagles
Sorry - blame The Telegraph!
