And as the "Which forum should we put Stephen Ward in?" row rumbles on, foot.ie finally crawls up its own backside and dies. Rather like Dublin City come to think of it.

Of course, such as thread wouldn't be possible without a Rovers fan to fulfil their foot.ie role of putting everyone straight.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
and than we have Sheridan to put them straight. I've lost track of the score at this stage. Sheridan 67 Assorted Rovers Fans 0???
But he no more plays for Ireland now than he did last week. I think he should be discussed here when and if he does anything to suggest he is worth calling up (which seems unlikely). Until then the main interest is surely from an eL point of view.
He's an u21 international, you do know that don't you?
Whats wrong with having two threads? One for those who know, who for those who don't

Jamie McCarthy , a 16 year old playing in Scotlands lower divisions warranted a thread
Sheridan cant see straight at this stage.
WAR is spot on there. How the fcuk can anyone argue why a thread on Ward is in the Ireland section? Mods here should be deleting crap like that. Wont hold my breath though.

A pincer attack by wws and Sheridan? We're doomed....
I'm bringing my class prejudice off to an Irish cricket forum to start having a pop at posh people for no reason other than the chip on my shoulder.

sheridan's doin a pretty good job all on his own
I'd never p;ss on another man's racket, he's got the rovers fans in their box
Well they do seem to appear when either a) he posts or b) he's mentioned.

Why? What's the difference between this thread and this:
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=37217
or this:
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=37541
or this:
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=37483
...or any thread to do with the transfer of an Irish player in the Ireland forum? EL fans need to really look at themselves before slagging off the rest. He's not just mentioned because he's moving to Wolves. There's also a couple of U-21 threads where he's discussed. I thought he had a great game against Belgium. If I thought he had a great game against Pats I'd post it in the EL forum.
I can understand your all feelings on this as I have similar opinions on Irish football fans who don't support the national team.

This thread is an absolute joke. Who cares where the threads go? Its not exactly pivotal. Of course he warrants a thread here. Pretty much every single post has been about whether or not the thread should be here! Could we have a bit more discussion about the actual player please?! Because its been fairly minimal so far!
He's a minimal sort of player IMO

I think he is an U17 international.
Technically this is in the International section.
Anyway back on topic please...(i've made my point now i'll move on)
jamie has only been selected in a squad, so no appearances as yet..so not an international??I think he is an U17 international.
Technically this is in the International section.
Anyway back on topic please...
is the topic whether ward is now automatically more deserving of a call-up as a wolves player, or that wolves paid the 'right' amount, or what?
unfortunately instead of clearing things up early on pete's pedantics precipitated petty posting preventing productive postulations
As you can see from a few links I posted we discuss pretty much every transfer of Irish players oversea's on this forum. Once you're Irish you can be discussed here but if it's more relevant to the Eircom League then it's obviously better off in that forum.is the topic whether ward is now automatically more deserving of a call-up as a wolves player, or that wolves paid the 'right' amount, or what?
The "Bohs to Wolves" thread in the EL forum will usually be a discussion on the fee paid for him and things like that. The equivalent thread on this forum would usually go into a debate about how this move will help his progression and if he has potential to be good enough for Ireland.
Ward has been discussed plenty on this forum.
Probably most recently here:
http://www.foot.ie/showthread.php?t=48638
EL fans don't like Irish football followers that don't follow the national league so as soon as this thread was open they see him as only being recognised as soon as he leaves Ireland. That's not the case. I think anyone that posts regularly here will know of Ward.

Does playing cricket mean you are a posh person and what is a posh person ? Reason I ask is that I played cricket from the age of 7 and also rugby in addition to soccer (no GAA sports mind you !!), I've also follwowed Rovers for more than 35 years ???? I'm not in anyway unique... lots of guys I grew up with are the same and the idea of us been described as being posh would make us laugh... guess the reason was the location of Milltown..within a few minutes walk of our leafy D4 and D6 slums....
