No international return for Rovers star
Despite his stunning form for Shamrock Rovers in the eircom League over the past two months, Pat McCourt is not expected to make a return to Lawrie Sanchez’s Northern Ireland international squad – at least until he seals a move to one of the top two divisions across the water.
McCourt won one senior cap during his time at Rochdale, but has been restricted to the under-21 grade in recent times.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
what's that saying again...beggars cant be chooser'sOriginally Posted by A face
norn ireland squad is a pity. he should be able to make it playing in the EL
If McCourt isn't good enough for Norn Iron they must have some very special players.

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
He clearly didn't make it playing in Britian so I see no reason to include him in the Norn Iron squad after a few good preformances in the EL. Should have decided to play for the republic anyways.
wouldnt get onto ROI sideShould have decided to play for the republic anyways.
should walk onto norn ireland side
He didn't make it England cus he's supposed to have a bit of an attitude problem. It's a bit of a stupid story anyway, he got one cap in a friendly about 3 years ago, because 13 players had withdrawn from the squad. So it's not as if he was at any stage an established International.
Wont it b great to c rovers out of football and get that grabber collins away
from irish football
no. why?
Eanna i will answer u why when he went too dublin city
he tried too buy players not with his own money,he had no intentions of trying to develop youth football at the club,the same is happen s/rovers. i played against rovers in the eighties had great memories and a great club.
so let me get this straight, you want rovers out of existence because of your dislike towards our present manager?!Go and see somebody!!!
Back to McCourt, I suspect that If he were playing with an EL club in Europe and showed that he was capable of performing against international players then he would get the call up.
I'm hopin he stays in the league, but does'nt play agianst us
