QuoteAs well as internationals we have Hoolahan who's been on the bench for Ireland but not an international, yet.
I stand corrected. Maybe it's the international cap the examiner wants Eur12,500 for?

Crowe played against Norway in 2003 and Byrne's cap was away to Poland in 2004 so they would be the most recent.Originally Posted by Hibs4Ever
I said they're not internationals ANYMORE. They had their frendlies moment, thats it. They won't be picked again.
In your opinion.
This is Pat McCourt I realise.

"It's impossible to make a man understand something when his livelihood depends on him not understanding" Upton Sinclair
And what proves otherwise?? Look when they got there caps. Haven't been NEAR getting a look in since.
They weren't NEAR getting a look in before their caps, either. Doesn't mean they will never be capped again.
Yes, they showed potential when they were capped, but it was proved wrong obviously. They won't get chance again. Think about it, Alan Lee and Jon Macken are ahead of them
.. and will remain so until the end of their careers. At what point of your playing career do you change from being an international into a former international ?
You only become a former international when you retire from football and/or international football.
Dean Kiely retired from international football so is therefore a former international but Byrne and Crowe are still internationals until they retire.
Lets make a new name for these "internationas"
I've nothing on the top of my head,any ideas?
Glenn Crowe played in the friendly away to Greece in November 2002 and ahd Ireland's best opportunity in a dour 0-0 draw in Athens.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
Rutherford is with Pats!!!!!!!!
McCourt is not a full international.
The last DCFC player to be capped was Liam Coyle against Chile in 1989.
The IFA have a habit of capping vaguely promising players at underage/U21 level quite willingly, in order to claim their scalp for the north over the south. Not to diminish Paddy's abilities, but that is the truth....
Paddy McCourt is a full international - he became the second Rochdale player ever to win a full International cap, when he came on as a sub against Spain at Windsor Park.
The first Rochdale player to get capped was Lee McEvilly, who beat Paddy by about 10 minutes - in the same match.
I know cos I was there.......................................
Norn Iron didn't draw - they were stuffed about 5- 0 on the night - and it was just prior to the World Cup in 2002.
Kildare County had a player called James Igwilo, he played in the 2000 Olympics with Nigeria, does that count?
Technically, the olympics is an U-23 comp. So I suppose it wouldn't be a full cap. But teams were allowed have 3 overage players. I wonder do they get full caps??
