Two guys in a row with exotic accents...you feel inadequate. Someone mentions that he watches DVDs of them together. That dirty b@stard you think to yourself, as the boats pull into T�rshavn. She's not taking as many beatings these days but hell, that's small consolation.

And then you happen to run into her plump, illegitimate cousin. She's got identity and abandonment issues. Some say she's trouble.

But you think hmmm...

I'd hit that.

I just read this post again and it made me laugh so hard again. Bravo sir. Pity you didn't keep it back for 3 weeks.

I'm confused. I scanned through the article and I couldn't find the letters 'EPN' anywhere. :confused:

Clearly, Gerry still has a lot of homework to do.

Fifa and Uefa recognised this dual nationality.

8 weeks in and still this crap is pedalled.

Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!

Heads up guys - there's an article coming up in the next issue of When Saturday Comes which is going to cause keyboards to be flung across rooms in frustration.

It's simply another flat out incorrect, incomprehensible and incoherent 'woe is the IFA' mess, written by an NI fan. Don't want to say much more but you can see for yourself in a couple of weeks. Something to look forward to eh.

EDIT - Actually it's out this week. Tevez is on the front cover (of course) so have a look out for it.

Just had a read of that article. I actually feel somewhat sorry for the IFA reading it. I've no idea what Gerrys salary, retainer, stipend or other form of remuneration package is like -but if it were me paying it out to someone to do a somewhat unique job that requires tact and consideration -well I'd expect them to acquaint themselves with the facts to a far more diligent degree than is evident.

Why? Gerry has been coached by the IFA - he's only reiterating the party line.

I would fear for the welfare of your local friendly IFA spokesperson from the wrath of the rabble, if he/she came out with,
'eh well, actually it has nothing to do with the GFA',
'actually, there are no loopholes in FIFA's eligibility rules'
'maybe we should move a few steps away from victimhood here'.

Wah wah Ferguson won't call me back wah wah.

"If he wants to be involved, great. If he wants to go somewhere else, that's his decision."

Indeed Nige. So stop calling him and let him come to you if he chooses.

I'm pretty sure that's been lifted from Wikipedia and isn't actually correct.

Maidens? where?

I tried to tell you all earlier, you can't trust a northern fenian, especially the Derry wans.

He was with the Maiden City Academy, which I think is separate from DCFC. Same as Gibson.
