    wow EG - you need to find yourself a life from somewhere. I would be ashamed to put a reminder in my diary for a years time to say "i told you so"... thats borderline insane.

    When exactly did this happen? And EG for once you have my sympathies in your altercation with IFK. the boy was clearly educated by Jesuists.

    I am "over it". The fact that Gibson is not (yet at any rate) a top class international player made the process that much easier...

    Yeah, and I'd be embarrassed to be a Bohs fan living in Saskatchewan...

    the worst part about it is that you put this reminder in your calendar just to score (weak) points and then proceed to rehash the same old bitter, petty rubbish that you've been posting on the same subject for the last 2 or 3 years.

    Its pathetic and as tiresome now as it was then.

    Oh, and attacking my location? Seriously?

    I really don't see the big deal about EG setting a reminder or whatever. Brendan 82's original post was a bit provocative anyway and EG obviously just saw an opportunity to prove him wrong. Who knows maybe Brendan 82 set a reminder too but didn't follow up on it due to Gibson's obvious lack of progress!! guess we'll never know. I think people are just disappointed with the amount of progress Gibson has made, which is minimal in fairness from this time last year.

    EG- Just on a side note I think Ferguson definitely sees Carrick as one of his First XI. He has played every big game I can think of since joining at the club, even at the expense of Scholes, Fletcher and Hargreaves. I definitely agree that Gibson is in Pot 3 though.

    The earlier suggestion of borderline insanity might be a clue? I don't agree with either of them, btw.

    Kingdom Kerry- any chance of you getting over being a witless ****-stirrer?

    It suits you to understate Gibson as a player. I think he will be invaluable to Ireland on the road to poland and ukrane.

    Correction, "Gibson is a Republic of Ireland player the same as etc etc"

    Have a look at the new Ireland jersey. Nowhere does it say "Republic of Ireland". We are Ireland short and simple.

    Source?

    I wont be giving my source, dont believe me if you dont want to. Why not put a note on your e-diary for a couple of months time and we'll see if I was right or not.

    Calm down, it was only a joke - if I were more used to the new layout, I'd have included one of these:

    For the record, I've been to Canada four or five times and hope to go again next month - it's one of my favourite countries.

    (Mind you, I've never been tempted to venture down Saskatoon way...)

    If I'd been posting a year or two ago, I'd definitely have agreed; it's just that I got the impression he's regressed a bit this season. Maybe you're right, though.

    Evidently you're not aware of what Saskatchewan's reputation is really like, so here's a clue.

    When I Googled "Saskatchewan Jokes", this one was top of the pile:

    http://www.indefual.net/canada/jokes/saskatchewan.html

    That's right, even "Patriotism Canada" takes the rise out of Saskatoonies...

    P.S. I'd have used a couple of smilies in this post, to demonstrate that I am still only joking, if only I could find where the Hell they've gone!

    Whether it "suits" me or not, I'm still of the opinion that Gibson is not (yet) international class, an opinion evidently shared by a certain Signor Trapattoni...

    Possibly, possibly not. Either way, I won't be making any confident predictions. Then again, I'm not "Brendan 82"...

    (Unless, of course, by "invaluable on the road to Poland and Ukraine" you mean that Darron is a good man with a shovel and a barrow load of tarmac!)

    You may call yourself whatever you like. Personally, I prefer to go by the authority of these people:
    http://www.fifa.com/associations/ass...r=m/index.html

    P.S. I didn't know you were "short", though I've long thought of you as "simple"...

    Actually, I don't believe you.

    You see, only a week or two ago, Shane's Da wrote a long post about him on OWC. I referred to it on the Shane Duffy thread (09/02/10, page 12, #225). My post included the following direct quotation from Duffy Sr. (my emphasis):

    "...right now the dicision is purly in shanes hand what ever he dicides to do we will back him 100%.one thing is for sure there is no way shane would be were he is todayif it was not for n/ireland.from paddy mcgongle in the milk cup to dessie currie in the victory shield then paul kee u/17s to steve beadlehole u/19s 21s and nigal himself shane has so much respect for all these men any rightfull so all topmen,shane loves to play for n/ireland and always has done"

    It might not take a couple of months. As I say, I try to avoid extravagant predictions, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see you embarrassed further come the 3rd March...

    Being called a begrudger is not ad hominem. Talk about over sensitivity!
    Begrudgery is an accurate description of your reply. Your opinions predictably begrudged the quality in Ireland's qual group and considering a very good performance by France at Croke Pk, you begrudge the efforts in the play offs, claim that France were there for the taking. All too predictable opinion. It took a very good performance from Ireland in Paris to have France for the taking.
    You begrudged Gibson, saying it would take 3 or 4 injuries for him to be considered to start in the NI team. Maybe yes, maybe not, but it sounds embittered and coloured rather than having a semblance of objectivity, much like your opinions on Ireland's qual campaign.
    On the contrary compared to ours, NI's group was there for the taking as both top seeds Poland and the Czechs failed to get going. NI recovered well but let a great opportunity slip to finish second.

    I'd say Gibson will still be in the Ireland squad for the next campaign. No mean achievement, he is still a work in progress.

    Yawn, are there people still giving this poster the time of day? Can you not get back to the topic; I think it's only a matter of time before the inevitable headline of "Gibson to leave at end of season"

    Has there been an official declaration on Duffy? Wasn't Moyes in Dublin recently too?* I had been hearing rumours a while back, but nothing official. Care to share some of your 'insider' knowledge? I should hope that in the event that he does declare for RoI, there would be no sour grapes, since it is, as Duffy's father pointed out in EG's quote, entirely the kid's decision.

    I don't have any issue with EG's post in response to Brendan's one from a year ago. I watched the 'Cwying' youtube clip and had a chuckle - great scene!
