Fair play to him for settling the matter almost immediately after O'Neill's comments.
Imagine if Noel King said he was calling up to Newcastle to see Shane Ferguson and how he's getting on and keeping in touch.
Look, all these defectors have a right; James has as much right to a 100-pager as Gibby.
How long (was a chinaman, I know) was the the thread on Daniel Kearns? I think he might have run Gibson close.
It's a bit like the ending to Saving Private Ryan, when the last Ryan was told by a dying Tom Hanks, to justify the massive effort made to save him.
I am pretty sure the original eligibilty thread was a 100 pager and included the premature claims of victory by the IFA, gleefully recorded by local media subsequently proved to be rather embarasing as the FAI also claimed victory , think the current one was started to use as a reference point

So that's the end of that.Following my dream, mind was never going to change, latest barage of insults come right on queue #irish
Incidentally, he also posted this charming message that was sent to him: https://twitter.com/#!/Neil_GFC/stat...59476465811456
@JMcC_23 should have ****ed off and played for the ROI at youth level then!
He spelled "barrage" incorrectly. I don't think he's cut out for us.
The succinct and to-the-point hashtag is a nice touch.
And cue. The youth of today.
I harbor the fear that Twitter is the pre-sentient Antichrist (Facebook is the decoy) but some of it's emanations don't half make me smile.
Never mind Noel King. Trap should head to St. James' Park ASAP.
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
im lost here lads, is Shane Ferguson gona declare for us?
Also there was a close to 100 pager for CAS/Daniel Kearns in the summer of 2010.
Though the length could be more explained by filler posts, to fill in the time while waiting.
I think we could almost extract enough good lines for a 10 verse song, in the same vein as Joxer goes to Stuttgart.
Call it, The Day the IFA rode into FIFA-Strasse.
Not that we know but we could ask him just to be sure, I think we are allowed to call 3 times.
No, he settled the matter recently that he was sticking with the North. But my point was that people from IFA and supporters constantly wheel out this tired old line that the FAI have "poached" some underage players from them. There have recently been some media stories (Anton Rodgers, James McClean) which have demonstrated fairly glaringly that the North are more partial to the bit of "poaching". McClean clearly switched allegiances. O'Neill clearly comes out and says he's considering McClean and wants a chat.
But this conduct has, in the past, seemingly been qualified by people such as Armstrong putting forward a mad notion that the players born in the North are "their" players, when this is not always the case.
It's 'never' the case surely?
Well, is a player that commits wholeheartedly to the IFA "their" player? I suppose the player is not a possession etc. in which case 'never' is correct.
To the tune of the Martin Jol song:
James McClean, James McClean, James McClean
He can't spell, who gives a hell
James McClean
My Guarantee
Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
@ OO, exactly.
Anyone born on the island etc.
Is eligible for both.
And Worm, that ditty is even worse than most Ireland songs....
Maybe we should just give them back their players. I mean they do own them after all.
