Eh... anyway.
The U15s came from 3-0 down to draw with the Aspire academy.

Except myself & the family have always known it thus. We did live there too.
Sorry, old chap.
Clearly you missed the 'Eligibility' thread...
Jesus wept. Some forum for Ireland's BNP-equivalent neanderthals must have stumbled across the link to that Irish Times articles. The comments section has been flooded with embarrassing talk of "anti-white genocide" and "forced assimilation". Surely such though is not prevalent in modern Ireland?

It's not to an extent. As a public sector worker you may find that our attitudes (I am not saying mine) may toe a line similar to those comments due to the very nature of the jobs and contact with immigrants but in general society I've seen nothing to suggest that there's a white-Ireland agenda. If anything it's gotten more positive as the years have gone on.

Who can save us from the public service?
Those replies Danny referred to are from racists who believe in a Zionist Occupied Government (ZOG) conspiracy to commit genocide against (so called) whites, thereby further facilitating ZOG's exploitive ambitions. Anti-racism is regarded as anti-white.
If you don't accept this conspiracy theory, you are regarded as a brainwashed drone of the ZOG machine.

DI's right.
Anti-Conspiracy/pro-the stuff Geysir articulated have invaded that forum. Crazy...
I still thought he was on about yer man from yesterday.
I haven't bothered looking at the article's comments today.

How does the concept of "forced assimilation" work exactly? Are there breeding pens on the streets of Dublin yet?
Yes, but we don't like to boast about them...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Must be a north Dublin thing.
They have them in Dun Laoghaire too.
Councils are rolling them out on a pilot basis.

ah yes, but at the time it ruled Arteta out, it was article 18!Hold on there. I can't find any 2013 update of the statutes. The regulation concerned is 8.1(a) in the 2012 version. Stutts?
Yes, but by day they double up as bus shelters.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Its like the Borg, from Star Trek. Picard was lucky to avoid them but Trap is old and less nimble, and may be assimilated.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Another take with most of the usual suspects...

Seeing this thread again reminded me of a point I wanted to make.
Front page of the Sunday Times Sport from a couple of weeks back there was an article on 2 Irish U15 players who had to pull out of this tournament because they screened positive for a possible Heart condition. They were forced to pull out of the squad and went for further evaluation. They subsequently were given the all clear, however, the tournament had come and gone by this stage. The article went on to praise how great the FAI are for having this screening program in place for a number of years, etc.
The fact of the matter is that two talented soccer players missed out on the tournament even though they were perfectly healthy. They had a screening ECG which probably showed a bigger than normal heart (common in athletes) or less likely a conduction problem. How in God's name did it take so long to get an Echocardiogram and a cardiologist consult to give them the all clear??? This surely could have been sorted the same day or the next day at the very latest for these international sportsmen considering what was at stake. It stinks of amateurism and certainly did not deserve the praise the article bestowed upon it. Bottom line, yes it is important to screen every soccer player with an ECG (and fair play to the FAI for doing this), but with the volume of false positives associated with this test, surely the confirmatory tests need to be done a lot quicker to avoid a similar situation in the future.
Rant over.
That was last week (i.e. a week and half ago) if I remember correctly. The FAI were absolutely right to withdraw the players from competition - I don't know how quickly confirmatory tests can be made available, but they acted in the kids' best interests and they should be commended for it.
once the alarm was raised, the FAI acted correctly in withdrawing the boys from competition until the all clear was given. if anything,your argument is with the specialists who examined their cases. Consider the opposite, they let the boys play, even though they knew something was amiss, then who is to blame?
The point I was making is that it took too long to give these boys the all clear, if it meant them missing out on the tournament. Surely the FAI don't just simply refer these boys to the HSE for further care, I'd hope that they would take a more hands on approach and ensure they get quick assessment. Judging by the article, the likely scenario was that the ECG showed a big heart, so HOCM (a la Marc Vivien Foe) had to be ruled out. This can be done promptly with an Echocardiogram and a consultant to confirm. Don't really see why it should have taken so long. .
