Anyway who the f**k does this Redmond guy play for at club level. I'm sure someone out there has at some stage refereed to them as "us"

Ah, here! That's even more embarrassing! Whole internet in front of you Tod!

Southampton.........

Lads would anyone know how I’d get tickets to a Southampton game? I saw someone refer to Shane Long earlier in the thread and then later someone mentioned Redmond playing for us. I presume it’s Nathan who also plays for us (Southampton), but I’m hardly to be expected to trawl through everyone’s post history!!

Edit: If it’s actually Charlie Redmond, would any of you know if he gets any spares for Croker that he’d sell cheap.

Why would you have to pester players for tickets? You can buy them from the website. Still tickets available for Derby and Everton games .

Told Dennis Irwin to "go out and prove himself".

That really was an idiotic thing to say.

Imagine having a player of Irwins talent now in the squad.

It worked. He did. I think the converse, saying X will be picked no matter what, is much worse.

It was a time when we had Staunton, Kelly and Kenna at Blackburn vying for 2 full back slots..

Im not a fan of Celtic or the SPL but I don't think it is, he's 31 this year and Everton are a midtable team the last few years challenging for piss all in any compitition. A move to Celtic would at least bring him some silverware while getting to play in CL and EL. Might be a change of scenery he needs.

The SPL is a massive step down from premier league football both in terms of quality and exposure. It would be a backwards step in his career whatever way you slice it. He'd also have to cut his wages substantially so I don't think it's a goer personally.

Like Seaman vs Nayim!

On Sky Sports tonight from 7 & over the weekend there's a International Masters tournament on including an Irish team. Might be worth a look.

Niall Quinn, McAteer, Babb, Harte, Carsley, Hunt etc playing for Ireland.

Also Richie Partridge (most famous for being Michael Owens brother in Law) and Tim Dittmer (no idea who he is).

Hunt isn't in the squad on the website.

Rest of the World squad looks unreal!! Mendieta, Pires, Okotcha, Baia, Albertz, Van Hooijidonk, Negri, Petrov, R. De Boer

Head of goalkeeping at the FA according to his twitter, Shay must be busy this weekend

That confused me too & he seems to be some kind of GK development coach with the FA. No links with us at all from what I see.
You'd think they'd have managed to get some random Irish keeper to play instead if all the main lads weren't available/interested.

Surely 1 of Nick Colgan/Keith Branagan/Paddy Kenny/Dean Kiely or even Gary Rogers who was in a squad or 2 could have stepped up

yabadabado

I think all those mentioned above are involved in football day to day so probably can't be involved in this tournament. Most of the players involved seem to be pundits etc.

Stevecw

Haha Steven Hunt losing his mind there! 1st yellow of the tournament in 3rd game

Stevecw

Hunt sent off,only he could do it in a thing like this!!

Mushy

Redmond goal assisted by Long, wouldn't mind that for us (Are we allowed say that)

McAteer & Owen having a bit of argy bargy, worth the watch

Mushy

Can see why Mcateer is going mad now. Just turned it on, lads saying he's right to be aggrieved. At least it means nothing.

Quinn had an hilarious miss too

The Talking Bread

Is it me or does that video look like a game of FIFA ! It just doesn't look real!

Osmosis Jones

No backing down from McAteer in his interview or on Twitter, you'd have to imagine current players would talk like this a lot more if it wasn't for the fines

It was a joke not to send Owen off, was watching it when it happened live. Quinn was awfully pissed off too in the post match interview

And James should have gone in the final too.

Burnley’s Jimmy Dunne should be joining Sunderland in a few days.

He has a couple of caps for the 21’s and was on loan at Hearts the first half of the season.

Anyone know much about him?

Would be a great loan signing for Sunderland. Was very good during his loan spell with Hearts and formed a good partnership with John Souttar while there. From some of the games I watched he looks comfortable on the ball when playing out from defence but is also a physically strong player. Can play on either the left or right, started off as the lcb and moved over to rcb when Souttar was out injured.

Was hoping he'd get a loan move to a Championship club but seems Sunderland are pushing for automatic promotion so might be a good move and then get a full season with them at Championship level if they get promoted and Burnley want him to get more first team experience.

Thanks for the information. Sounds promising!

CB is the one area we really need to strengthen in and have been caught out a few times this season there with injury and suspension. We also need to get much more physically stronger in the position as our current starting CB’s, while fine, are not the strongest and have tendancy to get bullied a little.

The backup CB’s have cost us points a few times when called upon.

The_Kew_Tour

Don't rate Dunne. He is very average. League 1 is his level

That was Stephen Ward I think, played up front for Bohs.

In other news Cillian Sherdian has signed for Wellington Phoenix in the A League, probably him effectively finished in an Ireland shirt but fair play to him.

He'll do well there. A good signing for the Nux.

Came on for his debut with 25 mins remaining vs Western Sydney Wanderers. He set up his team's second goal to put them 2-1 up. Then played a lovely flick in the build up to his team's third goal to win the game 3-2. Impressive debut.

Nice little finished today - leaning back. Played well today - becoming more and more essential to the irons.

There’s an Irish flag before his name on the team sheet graphic on sky sports. Therefore he’ll defo declare for Ireland :cool:
Accents English as fook though.

Mr.Nice Guy

Long scored? We are in the end times.

Wish Rice had chosen a few months down the line to hit such a rich vein of form. Don't think he's going Ireland's way.

I see Southampton gave a new contract extension to Kilkenny teenager Thomas O'Connor who is a defender.

https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1083771111714811905

Don't know anything about him but hopefully he can get some games like Obafemi.
