Ward V Wilson

[Murfinator]

If Wilson was a mercenary he'd have gone back to the north, or just retired from international football.

Why would he retire when through repeated no-shows he just stops getting picked? All of the perks of not having to train and travel to sit on a bench in macedonia and none of the aggro from fans for not representing his country. The Irish public take up arms if someone says they don't want to play for us, but are happy to accept the fellow with a groin strain on every international occasion that magically goes away a few days later for stoke.

It's not magic, it's the standard recovery period from a slight strain.

In the last 7 internationals Ward has played we have conceded just 2 goals -a pretty good stat.
