No, that's reason enough to be in Glenroe.

Can't see much wrong in what Hunt said, really (obviously he shouldn't be commenting on the matter publicly at all, but he seems to be missing that part of his brain that would allow him to keep his opinions to himself when a microphone is put in front of him).. If S. Ireland wants to come back and play for us then the sooner the better, come back in for the friendlies after the summer and then play the remaining 3 qualifying games (plus playoffs, hopefully) and everybody will have got over the whole thing by the time the World Cup rolls around.

By choosing to focus on how it would affect the squad rather than how it would affect our qualification/WC chances, Hunt is nailing his colours to the mast.
Also, giving Stevie clear warning that many squad members will feel he's denying someone else a place. Probably not a lie but not exactly rolling out the welcome mat either.
He's in the "Fuck him, we don't need him" camp. he's entitled to be a prick, but I feel it does our cause no additional good.
I'm in the "S. Ireland coming back will be good for our chances, he's a quality player, and we need all we can get on that front"

I kinda wish everyone except Trap and Stevie would keep their mouths shut on this until it's settled once and for all.
This goes for Hunt as much as it does for Ireland's Dad.

More affectionate, don't you think?

When trying to persuade footballers, always talk like you're a guest presenter on Balamory.

 

[Hector Grey]

[ratmonkey]

Probably shit sick of putting up with jackeens. Understandable really.

Hugh O'Neill will desert the camp if things start going badly.
And they're likely to what with Robert Emmet's distrust of journalists and Boru's notorious injury problems when it comes to the big games.
Plunkett is a luxury.

'magine if he came back and was a huge fucking let down. 'magine.

No Wolfe Tone or Gavin Friday?

Wolfe Tone fell out with the manager, Eugene Lambert when they were both at Mother & Child Scheme Athletic and Gavin Friday is shite. Michael Collins walked out on the team during the Fish Finger Cup in Honalulu last year

Give Hugh O'Neill a break, will you?

 

[Jerry Twig]

Gavin Friday is shite.

Is it cos he reads the Guardian?

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Give Hugh O'Neill a break, will you?

A break? I gave him four fifths of Sligo and my only daughter!
And what does he do in return? He gives away a penalty in the last minute against The Beef Tribunal, that's what.
