Thankfully Mccarthy didnt have that approach or Duff would be an international 'has been' many many moons ago.ABout the same length of time Stan got as international manager. Alas, international games come round once in a blue moon so a player has to make a quick impact (like a manager) or it's curtains. Can't afford a player to be putting in poor performances in the hope he'll get better because there just isn't time.
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Yeah I was wondering about that. I thought that maybe Scotland had declared independence on the sly.
I am not his accountant so I am not sure but if and hopefully when he moves to the Premiership in England, his wages will be doubled I suspect.

I went out there a few times, injun territory.
All I remember were the old fellas cracking jokes non stop.
My wife used to have an apartment in Inchicore. Once, purely as a Freudian slip, she said "Remember when I used to live in Insecure"

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Puyol:
"McGeady is a great player. I hope that we can control him, so that he does not cause us much damage."
From Henrik Larsson's recent diary entry: http://www.icons.com/HL/diary.html?1.03.08
Aiden McGeady is definitely a player I admire and he's been around for a while now with Celtic and the Irish national team. I expect him to really start making a big impression and these games in the Champions League are when he should be aiming to shine.
It really is up to him to show he can do it week in, week out and to be a crucial player on the big occasions. He faced Barcelona's Carlos Puyol and did very well. Puyol is a fantastic defender, so that's not too bad. He's still developing and I'm sure his time will come.

nor will it in the future....(just on this occasion I didnt want to drag it into a whose more Irish debate)
Really? So if one of the many Polish or Nigerian lads that have been born here in recent years decided to declare for their parents respective countries they'd get stick for it?
Are you quoting my response then asking the question?
I thought my question was quite clear.Are you quoting my response then asking the question?
and I thought my answer you quoted before posing the question was as well.
baZmo - Bill is up to his old tricks - don't get sucked it - you might just receive a warning from Eirebhoy. Tread carefully.
I was just expanding on the point by asking a question. Fair enough if you don't want to or can't answer it.
Don't worry EB knows that I won't do anything to warrant a ban.
how am I up to my old tricks? he asked me do I think Irish people would be the same if a son of an immigrant born here declared for another country whilst qouting me saying " Irish people would be the same if it was someone born here that declared for another country"
Not really like with like. But I suppose ya only have to look at the booing of players who have played for Rangers or booing or Roy Keane or no doubt what will be the booing of Stephen Ireland to see the Irish crowd are just as capable of booing players over perceived slights. Are Mageadys parents both not Scottish anyways?
True. But I suppose that just leaves us agreeing that there are just as many idiots in Ireland as there are in Scotland!
They are indeed. His paternal Grandfather is Irish. But there are other well documented reasons why he chose Ireland over Scotland.
Also what about the abuse shouted at some of our own players at matches? e.g. Robbie Keane and John O Shea. Our fans are well capable of shouting similar things to what was in the youtube clip. I think one of the factors that grates on the Scots more than anything was he was such a hot prospect and that he plays for one of the old firm.
He is a hot prospect Bill and not he was a hot prospect.
