Excellent news.
I look forward to the day when this thread is accorded its previous and rightful place at the top of the Ireland forum.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?

Always seem to be the case when a tread about a new Irish prospect is posted here that before the first page is compete we hear either
a) He is thinking about switching allegiance away from Ireland.
b) He has broken one or both of his legs!!!
Which brings me onto my second (or possibly first) point.
Milk!!!
Ireland has one of the highest (3rd) milk consumptions in the world!!
The countries which drink the most milk (surprisingly) have the highest rates of broken bones and osteoporosis!!
So perhaps it would be a good idea for Irish player to stop drinking milk?
On the other side of the coin the countries which drink the most milk win the highest number of Nobel prizes.
Perhaps there is a link here in that you have plenty of time to study whilst incapacitated by broken bones? (wonder if I can get a Nobel prize for making that link?).
What would be useful is the correlation between milk drinking and footballing success please?

Well, as we can see, only 8 of the top 20 milk drinking countries are in the top 20 FIFA ranked countries. However, as there are 209 FIFA associations, the chances of 8 randomly picked countries being in the top 20 are approximately 0.000000703%. Or, if you prefer, the chances of those particular 8 countries being part of the top 20 are about the same as you dropping a one euro coin onto Ireland and having it land on your house.
(Statistics: You can use them to back up any point you want!)
Well, it could also depend on how many footballers are available in any country, to cover for the broken bone attrition rate.
All he needs is Ringo and John and he's a band.

Well of course there are a lot of factors which contribute to football success so it's gonna be complicated.
Winning Nobel prizes suggests intelligence which should be useful in football to a limited extent.
Bone strength is not going to be too big a factor as breaks are not that common and there are lots of other types on injury possible, ligaments etc...
I am trying to think of player who have had problems with broken bones but I can't recall too many successful ones.
Beckham had his metatarsal broken, think Michael Owen did too? (not sure)
SkStu will tell you his bone is sharp and he has done nothing but drink milk for 40 years. Just saying since this isnt a stupid discussion.

Now cheese is a milk product so not good for bones.In his autobiography, Keane said that before a World Cup qualifier away versus the Netherlands, the Irish players were eating cheese sandwiches because pasta, the proper diet before games, was not available
Triggs said it was good for boners. We must keep that in.

Another aspect of this is that countries often field teams from an immigrant population so that may skew the figures.
I seem to recall that basically Northern Europeans drink more milk but that Africans drink hardly any, a lot of people do not have the
gene which allows adults to digest milk properly, the northern Europeans tend to but the Africans tend not to, same goes for Asians I think.
I think generally the more fair haired or fair skinned you are the more likely you are to have that gene.
It is odd thought that the common conception is that milk is good for bones but the actually statistics strongly prove the opposite.
The idea is milk contains calcium so it much be good for bones, but I think it also contains lactic acid which dissolves your bones,
as does fizzy drinks apparently. But whatever there is a statistical connection between dairy products and weak bones.
The statistics also show that pirate prevent global warming though, so I wouldn't be too trusting of what they seem to suggest!
It is interesting though, I wonder what the actual link is.
My bone is sharp and i have done nothing but drink milk for 40 years. Just saying.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
signed for Hamilton Academicals on loan until the end of the season: http://www.acciesfc.co.uk/index.php?...ews&Itemid=140
was released by Celtic, and has signed for Dunfermline until the end of the season: http://www.dafc.co.uk/story.php?t=Pa...rmline&ID=8305
Signs were there when he couldn't get into the Hamilton team on loan last season. Hopefully he can kick on now.
On trial with Derry City, playing in a match for Mark Farren against Greencastle FC today.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Just seen that George has signed for Ballarat Red Devils in what is the equivalent of the 3rd division of Australian football after not making a single appearance for Cliftonville.
His career has really gone down the drain.
