Connaught? Turncoat!

Donegal looks like a bell.
I suppose that was unintentionally smart.

That is truly an awful product. Love to know which 'joker' designed that...Did they have family who were hard-core loyalists?

**DannyInvincible** · 27/09/2013, 10:04 PM

If it's any consolation, at least they didn't use Comic Sans!

**ArdeeBhoy** · 27/09/2013, 10:28 PM

That might be a little too much of an 'in house' joke, Danny...

Sort of an interesting case here: http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1572278?&cc=5739

MUFC's well regarded young winger Adnan Januzaj could actually play for four different nations, and one non-recognised one in the form of Kosovo. Is yet to decide between Albania or Belgium.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 04/10/2013, 10:55 AM

Surely Belgium, with their current squad.

Returning momentarily to Kosovo though, would it be more viable as part of a 'Greater' Albania, assuming that's what all parties wanted?

**NeverFeltBetter** · 04/10/2013, 2:34 PM

Wrong thread. And no. The problem is Serbia doesn't want to let the place go, and Russia backs Serbia up on the important international forums. Whether Kosovo is independent or joining some other country doesn't alter that problem.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 04/10/2013, 3:39 PM

You brought up yer man! But agree with the assessment in the last post, even though don't agree with the Slavs interfering.

i heard he once owned an Irish setter. Could do a job for us

**Newryrep** · 06/10/2013, 12:34 PM

What nothing on here about the young 'Belgian' lad being monitored by engand ?

**Charlie Darwin** · 06/10/2013, 12:56 PM

The Januzaj thing is bizarre. They're monitoring a player who might possibly be eligible in three years. Yeah, good luck with that lads.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 06/10/2013, 1:06 PM

Tbf, they did the same thing with Cudicini and some Spanish player?
Then never picked either!

AJ will surely play for Belgium before if he's this good?

**AlaskaFox** · 06/10/2013, 1:27 PM

Arteta is the Spanish player in question.

The young Utd lad has already turned down Belgium; wants to play for Albania allegedly.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 06/10/2013, 4:10 PM

Its an eligibility thread, and Janujaz is an interesting case. As was stated in the link I posted above, he might choose Belgium, but feels a stronger connection to Albania, much like many Ireland players born in England have in the past and today. English "hopes" for his naturalisation are moronic and arrogant.

**geysir** · 06/10/2013, 5:13 PM

Strange then that quote from the Albania fa chief was almost totally dismissive
"Januzaj “doesn’t love Albania”, “There is little chance of him playing for Albania. We haven’t talked to the player himself but talks with his family have revealed that he isn’t interested. The door isn’t closed but only a little glimmer of hope remains. Officially, though, he hasn’t made a choice yet.”

Though it's good to hear that some people love Albania.
