    It's baiting, don't rise to it.

    The only baiting I saw was Gavin Shels us vs the world sniping at the senior squad, as if to differentiate between the plastic paddys who follow Trappos team and who have Sky Sports and the real salt of the earth fans who follow the under 23s.

    And yes. I should have ignored it. Id had a few though.

    someone tell me what the **** sunderland and roy ****ing keane has got to do with this thread:confused::confused::confused:

    Absoloutely **** all. Neither does the fact all senior team players are based in England have anything to do with it, but he still had to get the point across didnt he.

    people despise Sunderland because they are deliberately marketing themselves as if they are 'Irish club' and are attempting to take fans who should be on the terraces in Dublin, Cork, Galway or wherever every Friday. i want to Sunderland to do sh!t because i despise everything they stand for under their current ownership of Niall Quinn.

    So essentially you are pissed that a group of Irish businessmen seeking to earn a profit invested alot of money in a foreign club. Righto :rolleyes:

    Anyway, enough of this. The under 23 squad meets most of the requirements for entering Olympic football afaik. Why havent they? While I said (believe it or not) I wish them the best in this contest surely the Olympics has more prestige?

    paul keegan is 24 this year how is he eligible?

    plus he is rubbish
    Eligibility is the same as for U21 euro championships- once you are the correct age at the start of the competition you are able to play the whole campaign. That's why Reo-Coker, to give an example, played in last year's U21 championships, despite being 23.

    That would be sweet, Fenlon could select all the best players from Pats, Drogs, Cork and Derry leaving us managerless for a while but with a full squad.
