Grammar yes. And it wasn't just lurcher.There's your answer Lurcher. We're very friendly - if you use correct grammer
Too easy
Their their Paul, arent you're troubles small, wait till ten tonight and you might really have something to cry about, and we all know how upset you can become when your cranky about The Eire.
Bazunu was City's third choice keeper at one point before the loan and got included in their Champions League squad at age 18. He played 14 times for their u-23s, which, given that City have a decent amount of wedge to go after players and he was 4 years below the threshold probably speaks to how highly they rate him. It wasn't even long after he arrived that he was called in IIRC. Rochdale fans have mixed reviews but they aren't exactly in love with their team at the minute. Not sure if he's ready to step up for Ireland but he's a very mature lad for his age.Agree with Randolph and the ball at his feet - see Helsinki if course.
But he's conceded what - 4 in 7 or something? Excluding England which was a silly game to play. He's played well, and we've needed him to play well. There's a lot more to goalkeeping than passing a ball.
I don't get the confidence in Bazunu; I think it's misplaced. I've seen it said Man City rate him very highly - I don't think that's the case; he's just another academy player for now. I've seen it said he's getting rave reviews; I haven't seen any. One Team of the Week award. A different Rochdale player got the division's Young PotM in January so it's not him plus ten incompetents in the team. And we know foot posters have a tendency to overestimate youth prospects. He's a promising player for sure, but that's no use right now.
I'm happy to remain pessimistic. I'll either be right, or pleasantly surprised. Win-win.
Lot of pressure on Kenny now, as there has been from day one. Have to laugh at the idea that he has somehow been able to fly under the radar. Not from you Stu but I saw something like that said. No LoI player or manager who gets called in for the national side is ever under the radar. A certain section of the Irish footballing community will be waiting with the knives out so they can go back to their insufferable LoI mates and say "I told you so, X isn't good enough". Sure there's even a leak within the camp/FAI out to get him. Every move has been scrutinized. People were treating Nations League games like WC group stage games and even claiming he wasn't unlucky with squad depletions. I also saw it suggested that his tenure has brought apathy...that's an odd one for me. Most of the people I know had given up during the Trap>MON>McCarthy years of dross.
I'm still not sure Kenny is up to it but the mere fact that we are debating which completely unproven keeper/strikers/midfielders etc to play is a sign that this is a difficult scenario. 5 players missing now is it from the team he put out in our best performance of his time against Slovakia? That we are disappointed about Conor Hourihane not being involved is telling...
I do agree with the previous post suggesting the players who are out aren't actually that great. They are experienced but have let us down many times. I hope Brady doesn't play today but I'm sure he will given the lack of options. I'm sort of delighted Kenny is being forced to play the younger lads this early as we need them to come on quick. We do have a decent enough back 4 for the young midfield to trust so........I'm excited to see what happens here.
I'm not confident of a result but I'm absolutely confident of an over reaction to a bad one.
is it accurate? Kenny is gonna do a 3-6-1 as Argentina in '86?
That's the price of schooling and a good education. Lucky art thou, don't even have the trouble of thought.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
another disadvantage for us is, in my opinion is both team can use 5 subs.
Surly their bench will be stronger then ours
But them are bigger then us, so it will be difficult anyway, regardless of whose on the pitch. : Roll:
I'm going with 1-0 Србија.

When did Zanetti play in the Second Division? Wikipedia says you're a liar and that he played with Talleres and Banfield in the Primera Division only before coming to Europe.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Almost certainly yes, and it's generally a better forum for decent debate too.
There are several types of poster here:
Almost everyone is well-informed and/or interesting in some way
Almost everyone is friendly
Some people are well-informed and interesting but can be a bit tetchy or confrontational
A small portion are just here to troll and annoy people
A smaller portion are just here to troll and annoy people but have decent grammar
An even smaller portion are just here to troll and annoy people and don't have great grammar
And then there's one person just here to troll and annoy people, who himself has terrible grammar but who has suddenly seen fit to pull others up on their own grammar
Welcome.
How important is Grammar on a Football Pitch ?
I think maths do have a lot to do with outcomes, mind.

I think the grammatical sniping is more evidence of pre-match jitters. This is a squad in transition, and while I'm excited to see where Kelleher, Bazunu, O'Shea, Knight, Mollumby, Connolly, Idah, and Parrott are in a couple of years time, this is probably a campaign too soon for them to be part of the core of the team. The lack of quality in the older players is the real killer. I hope Serbia are kack tonight and we're all welcoming a new generation of talent after a massive performance, but I am not confident.
You can't spell failure without FAI
I don't agree, I think it was a cheap shot at a new poster, a cowards punch and an absolutely lousy thing to do which illustrated a lot more about Paul than anyone it was aimed at and none of it good.
There was another "had of" on the page in fairness, but yeah, it did kind of come across that way.
Anyways, 150 minutes to go! (To the first goal...)
Holland losing in Turkey already, so could be worse; we could be Dutch.
There's a couple of older kaants as well LurcherLover, not saying whom.....^^^
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
I hadn't even read lurchers comments till stu posted after, go back over the posts there's a few more. Should of, would of, could of. its coming far too common place, not just here. Its getting tiresome the constant barbing here to be honest, and its all a bit lazy and far too easy. I think its time to say yourself and Stutts need to move on, let things go, it'll be easier if you do : )
And yes when I typed on the phone I often rushed, but I knew the difference, people using of instead of have, generally don't.
Welcome Lurcher
But lets get back to the football;
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Commonplace is one word.
bUt YeaH bacK to the f00tballl
& welcome Lurcher
Match day squad announced.
Parrott, Coventry, Curtis and Manning miss out.
Coming from a GAA background, I’ve never understood the point of this practice
Much more friendly than YBIG, but you'll have to accept that you'll only ever be half the fan of those lads over there. Though, if you are a fan of the manbag, you will certainly go up in the estimation of your harshest critic. Just a heads up.
Welcome aboard.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Of cutting people from the squad?
Two more games to come I guess. They may get a run yet
