I couldn't tell you, to be honest, I wasn't there. If you ask in the Series 11 thread over in the LOI forum, I'm sure there's a Bohs or Derry fan who can tell you :)Quote:

Alan Connell is English. He has never played at any level for Ireland.Quote:

He is supposed to have played well Gastric. Also played against Pats on Tuesday and impressed in a 3-2 win. "Looks comfortable" is the most common assessment...Quote:

Glad to see Joey O'Brien back for West Ham, A lad called Liam Agnew on the bench for Sunderland but I dont think he played for us ,ditto for Conor McAleny also on bench for Everton
Conor McAleny is ineligible. Hmm... maybe we should give Liam Rosenior, Liam Ridgewell, Liam Sercombe and Liam Bridcutt a call to see if they are eligible too?
Ineligible, you mean. Illegibility is a lack of quality in one's handwriting.
Well he is a footballer...Quote:

On a personal note I remember been taken by surprise back in Augest 1997 when a Keane appeared on aertel with goals for wolves always hopeful since that irish eligible players will appear from relative obscurity and am grateful when lads post info about young potential international playersQuote:

I think we should all reserve our energies for Irish born players, players playing for Ireland at underage level, players who have declared for Ireland or at the very least players with Irish sounding names who have at least played at some level in the English footballing pyramid.
Patrick Kluivert has an Irish first name too. Should we enquire about his eligibility too?
I apologise to bwagner if what seems blunt to me is belligerent to him.
So we just work to your rules and dismiss others' interests and opinions? Grow up and if you don't like someone else's interests. don't post.
On a related note, I'm disappointed we were never in for Patjim Kasani. With a name like Patjim he's got to be from good midlands stock.Quote:

Agnew is a Scottish surname anyways so Scotland have first dibs on him.
I am creating dissension and stirring things! How many times have you been criticised for the dismissive and immature nature of your posts? Maybe it's time you started to listen to the criticism. On the basis of your Agnew comment, Cascarino should have only played for Italy as it is an Italian name. What planet are you on?Quote:

"Immature posts" and "What planet are you on?"
Seriously, gastric. You are saying I'm attacking other users and you come out with stuff like that.
I'd say the "Liam" part of his name is more indicative of Irishness than "Agnew", although the latter is pretty popular here too. Then again Connor Wickham is from pure English stock so who knows?
As it doesn't seem to be sinking in, why have liamoo, crafty, paddy among others criticised the nature of your posts? Why don't you reflect on their criticism and stop giving us your opinion on possible eligible players ad nauseam? And don't use the term 'semantics' as an excuse when you make a generalisation about Agnew being a Scottish name.Quote:

And again, is there really any need to speak on behalf of other posters? Or indeed, was there any need to create this dissension after liamoo had already made his point eloquently and without the hostility that you are projecting?
Now it's a humorous comment? It certainly escaped me. Vitriol, no just honesty. You are certainly welcome to your opinion, but how many times do you have to make the same point? I am not speaking on behalf of other posters, more just trying to get you to understand that your dismissive attitude to the interests and opinions of other posters is not warranted.
As an example, Ole's comment about Slattery at Arsenal (post 270) and your particularly rude and dismissive response (post 271).
Philip Roberts signed for Dundee, will be playing SPL football next season after being released by Falkirk a few weeks ago: http://www.dundeefc.co.uk/news/roberts-signs

Kevin Feely may switch code and pursue career in the GAA.

You spoke on my behalf anyways. I second it. Without wanting to gang up on TWOK, it can be a tad deterrent when someone notes something and is consequently met with an utter dismissal and I honestly cannot fathom what purpose such dismissal serves to anyone only to deter discussion of anything similar. Luckily, I chose to ignore it. Which is probably your best bet gastric.Quote:

First of all, Scott Hogan is eligible for Ireland and Padraig Amond said he was called up to our U-21 National Team - which I was looking to clarify. Liam Agnew is not eligible and just happens to have a vaguely Irish sounding first name. I think there's a bit of a difference there as I would not have posted anything about Hogan if he wasn't/didn't know he was eligible.
Second of all, I don't think I was rude to bwagner. I think I was blunt.
People have said worse things to me - routinely calling my posts ridiculous, ridiculing me for possessing an unpopular opinion about Robbie Keane on threads/discussions that have nothing to do with Robbie Keane, wrongly accusing me of attacking posters. It's not just me either. I routinely see other posters attacking other people's posts when I go through old threads. It doesn't seem to be a problem until now for some reason. :confused:
Without wanting to start another argument, I hope all posters feel happy to use this thread to comment on all potential players with even tentative links. It's all good fun and creates interest for many on here including myself. I still remember how one poster on here rang Barry Maguire and spoke to him about declaring for us. Pure gold! Keep up the comments and research!Quote:

While frequently spouting absolute nonsense in other threads I might add.Quote:

I get it lads. You have been here longer than me. I am an easy target. You pay absolutely no respect or tolerance to my opinions and never have.
Really, there is genuinely no need for the rudeness. What I said to bwagner did not warrant this tirade.
Not quite. You weren't ridiculed for expressing an unpopular opinion. The problem was not the popularity of your opinion; it was due to the fact that your claim was suspect. You offered a very ungenerous interpretation of a Robbie Keane quote relating to his eventual international retirement and were rightly challenged on it. Despite this and being presented with cogent reasons as to why your interpretation wasn't at all appropriate, you persisted to insist that you were right. If it was raised in other threads, it was most likely to serve as an example of your continued and irritating stubborness in the face of your denial.Quote:
