Searched in case he was mentioned elsewhere but there was an interview with him in last Sundays Indo
I know most Ireland U19's don't get a thread of their own but there is a novelty value to this lads situation I suppose. Seems to be seen as quite a prospect as well. Pretty level headed kid too.

its always cork people causing trouble lol

It was a very interesting article that. Smith makes La Masia sound like a carpark in Saipan by the way he speaks about the atmoshpere around the Rangers training ground. Out of all the clubs that he spent time with on trial, he felt that Rangers would be the best place to learn his trade, which is as good a reason as any to join a club.
Best of luck to him!
I'm not a fan of his commentating in the FIFA 12 demo...
I'm still amazed he got 19 caps for England, probably just because he joined Man Utd from Leeds...

In fairness that's not a bad article considering the publication.
Was thinking the exact same myself. Good luck to the lad. The more Irish lads making the big time the better.
I wonder if his Polish housemate knows exactly what the Rangers fans think about Karol Wojtyła....
I'm all for saying fair play to the lad and I wish the religious divide wasn't there but....
I was most surprised to learn Rangers had a Dublin scout, and seemingly have had for many years.
Me too, you would wonder what justified his wage up to this point. Or maybe he has reccomended countless Irish lads who went on to make it but would not go near Rangers.
That's what I was thinking - even Smith went to Celtic as well as Rangers. You'd think the success rate would be ludicrously small.
She is on performance pay only.
I meant someone looking to get offended and turn a thread OT.
You're absolutely right - I called him an effing C, it is indeed obvious what the C means and I stand over it. So -what am I trying to twist?
No I didn't -Yard of Pace posted a comment that was slightly, but scarcely criminally, OT. I offered a counterpoint. You then took the hump.
It's a big boys forum. My language may be unparliamentary but I stand over the sentiment entirely. But like yourself and in keeping with my previous post I too am happy to leave it at that.

Don't mention the 'R' word.
Or the 'C' one...
Wow. I return to this thread after a couple of days absence to find billowing smoke, sirens ringing and ambulances everywhere.
Let me guess: Stephen Ireland?? , NI Eligibility?? David Connolly should start???
Quoting years at random since 1975
Close. David Connolly has announced his desire to play for Northern Ireland following the acrimonious break up of his affair with Stephen Ireland's granny.
There really aren't any winners here.

Bringing the thread back down to Earth with a bang -young Alan shipped 5 at home to Hibs U19s at the weekend.

A shame. He's broken his cover too early.
Think I preferred him when he played for Leeds...
That particular gowl is a true blue Rangers supporter. Was so impressed by Hately and co. back in '92 that he's followed them loyally (no puns) since. Made a career of being a switcher. They're welcome to him now and forever more.
