Thats a lot of words you're putting in my mouth there.

What I said was that Ireland would do well with a team who were passionate and knew the anthem. How does that imply that McGeady isnt passionate about Ireland? (Still don't think he should be allowed play for us) Or how do you think I wouldnt let Duff in for not knowing the anthem?

All I stated was that players should have to play for their country of birth and it would be nice if they knew the anthem.

Stay on topic!

In regards Potter is Benitez going to let him go on loan? maybe for one of the Championship sides and he could show then what he could do in first team...sitting in reserves waiting for the chance to get maybe into first team isnt the best!

Because he's so close to the first team, I'd guess Benitez would be reluctant to let him go. He was on the bench for 2 of the last 3 league games, and got at least one run, maybe 2. However, with the likes of Nunez, Smicer and Kewell coming back from suspension/injury he's less likely to get on the bench from now on.

Bit of a coincedence that I only mentioned him but it will really test if you're not happy to see 3G players play for us:

Gerrard hit with paperwork problems

The budding Irish international career of Everton youth team star Anthony Gerrard looks to be dead in the water after he failed to unearth the necessary paperwork to prove his eligibility for Sean McCaffrey’s under-19 set-up.

Gerrard, the cousin of Liverpool and England star Steven, had appeared for Ireland in an invitational tournament last summer.

However, frantic efforts to prove his eligibility to attain an Irish passport have been in vain, with red tape surrounding the nationality of his grandmother preventing him from continuing to represent Ireland.

The 19-year-old, an adept central defender who was named in Everton’s Premiership squad for last Saturday’s clash with Chelsea, will not now be eligible to take his place in the Irish under-19 squad for the Uefa qualifiers against Serbia & Montenegro, Poland and Albania in April.

He told the Irish Sun: “It is very disappointing. I’ve been told I’m not eligible to play for Ireland because the documentation to do with my Nan can’t be found. I was under the impression that she was born in Ireland but we can’t get the paperwork and it means I won’t be able to play for the Irish now.”

lol ah that lenney what a laugh what next

get back to the subject i never seen Paul McShane playing is he good passer or what

the next Rio

The last time I saw him I was impressed. His strongest attribute was his tackling he kept his passing simple. Overall he looked like a decent player but that was last season in the united reserves. I'm sure he played center midfiled in the games I saw him

I actually seen him partner Keane at centre half against Bayern in pre-season. He had a nervy start but did quite well.

I,m not one that believes in comparing Players. At the time I saw him he was playing a similar style game to keane nad he looked comfortable. I,m not sure anyone can replace keane.
