Eligibility Rules, Okay

So you were shooting down the (implied) suggestion of pre-emptive legislation by being humorous. Hmm. Where could I possibly have got the idea that you were laughing at me/ the idea I proposed from...

Seeing as you have remembered a perceived slight all this time, did not mention it in the thread at the time and still cannot accept when I say I was not poking fun at you, then I say take your pick from the following possibles.
a. Cynicism, taking the worst possible meaning.
b. Oversensitivity to perceived criticism.
c. Hypersenstivity to perceived reprimand.
d. You like holding grudges.
e. You are perfect and no shadow of doubt should ever be cast upon your judgements.

Attack the post, not the poster. Is that not the unwritten rule for a discussion forum?

I'm not a goldfish. I can remember my last post on a topic when new information is brought to my attention and I make my next post.

Have fun with your psycho-babble. I only deal with the facts of a situation, i.e. what a poster actually writes, rather than making up baseless speculation about them from the comfort of my keyboard in an attempt to discredit them and make myself look good.

And we come full circle as you cannot refute that this is indeed an attempt to laugh at me. Maybe point that psychoanalytic finger of yours at yourself next time.

I require knowledge of Irish Nationality Law in my new job.

Easy.

Do you work for the English FA?

[Charlie Darwin]

Well he certainly doesn't work for the IFA.

[ArdeeBhoy]

Do you work for the English FA?

No. Qatar's.

[BonnieShels]

Well he certainly doesn't work for the IFA.

That is the dream job. one day. one day.

[gastric]

That is the dream job. one day. one day.

Bloody Protestants, always get together!

[Charlie Darwin]

That is the dream job. one day. one day.

In that case your knowledge of Irish nationality law with not only be useless, it will be an impediment.

[geysir]

Any knowledge would be an impediment in that case.
But, Bonnie has just stated that knowledge (of Irish nationality law) is a requirement in his job, he doesn't claim to have acquired such knowledge.

[peadar1987]

Exactly, it was a requirement of my job not to turn up drunk, and to wear trousers every day. Ha!

[geysir]

And, dare we mention,
that's it's a requirement of the job not to log onto discussion boards.

[BonnieShels]

I've managed, somehow to avoid logging on during the day. Killed with the busy.

The requirement isn't as in-depth as it was first mooted. Pretty annoyed.

so NB only fits into 8% of the population.

Interesting that more people in Northern Ireland consider themselves "Northern Irish Only" or "British & Northern Irish Only", than those who consider themselves "Irish Only".

What's all that got to do with us continuing to nick your best players?

Which of our "best players" have you "nicked"?

Well we tried to nick Kyle Lafferty early in his career but decided against it cos he was crap.

Oh.....right.

I think Kyle Lafferty might just have "decided against" your imaginary approaches, had they ever happened.

Well, they are a majority, albeit on the basis of an enforced situation.


As for 'nicking' players, had they been bothered, Duffy, Gibson & McClean would all have been selected.
