Maddison to Ireland? (11 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

They have as much chance - namely none unless we allow 48 teams in the next World Cup

It’s a country with what? A 10th of the population of the UK and other major European countries? And in which football is the 3rd most popular sport.

To be fair, England have as much chance of winning a major tournament as San Marino.

Well England made the semis at the last World Cup. Any team that Barry Quinn can play in isn’t really going to dominate the world stage

So is Denmark who have won a competition

To be fair population is never a convincing excuse unless it's in the tens or even hundreds of thousands.

 

[Sick Boy]

To be fairer, we have a better chance as you have to qualify to be in with a chance. Something San Marino and ROI wouldn’t know about.

Having to laud it over such a small country in which football isn’t even the most popular sport, pretty much sums the English national team up.

What sports are more popular than football there? It’s like a PL club with its resources trying to laud it over a League 2 team.

I don’t think I’ve ever said or expect the RoI to?

 

[Tommo1993]

Who are these world class Irish players you were on about?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

In that case no England manager is ever going to last for long.

They don’t tend to last that long.

 

[Sick Boy]

Who are these world class Irish players you were on about?

The likes to Roy Keane, Robbie Keane, Dennis Irwin, Damien Duff, Shay Given etc all played at the very top of the game

So did Willie Boland

Cyrus Christie, James McClean, Jon Walters too?

 

[suts]

So did Willie Boland

So did Paul McGrath, Liam Brady, Frank Stapleton & Mark Lawrenson.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just read James is seriously thinking of switching to play for Ireland. Would this have any affect on whether we would get monies for international appearances?

Tell you what he can play for them if he can name anywhere in the country except Dublin

 

[Sick Boy]

So did Willie Boland

Hahaha probably the wrong choice of words but any of those would have got into an England starting 11.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Dave Nugent

 

[Elvis Pressley]

Clearly has no real aspirations if true.

Bench warmer

 

[clint van damme]

Can't believe this thread has got to two pages regarding world class Irish players and no one mentioned Liam Brady.

Top of the game maybe, and even being biased with Robbie, I’d say Roy Keane only was world class.

If we're talking about true world class players, the England squad is very much lacking in that regard.

Poor form from Maddison to blackmail Southgate.

Typical petulant behaviour from him. Great player, but a right horrible little c**t.

Are we censoring swear words now on here @Nick?

Yeah, it doesn't reflect well on him whatsoever and just stinks of arrogance.

 

[shmmeee]

Robbie Keane, Phil Babb and Gary Breen to name 3

You mean 13?

c**t has been censored for a while.

That can't be true. I still see covcity4life around here most days.

 

[mark82]

Ireland presumably would like to retaliate for Damien Rice’s switch to England. Maddison was in the England squad this time last year but was not given a space on the sub’s bench and has not featured in a senior squad since. Sancho, Rice, and even Ward-Prowse have leapt ahead of him in Southgate’s view while Henderson, Dier and Lingaard are still features of the England midfield.

Whether Maddison upset someone or just failed to impress when he had a chance I don’t know but I can’t see him making the England breakthrough tbh and I suspect neither can he or his advisors

He got injured.

 

[Hobo]

So did Willie Boland

Carlton Palmer played for England.

Right....

Since Roy keane days

Surely, at least.......Owen, beckham, shearer, Ferdinand, a Cole, Rooney,

 

[luwalla]

He will be playing for England next championships, no doubt!

Looks absolute quality most weeks... his pass, outside if his boot curler which carved midfield open today, and set up vardy goal up was top drawer.

And most assist last season was it ?

I’m amazed he isnt already in the squad!

 

[skyblue025]

No quotes from Maddison. Looks like some made up bull shit. Southgate watched him today and he got a cracking assist setting Vardy up to score.

Oh. Whoops

The original point had nothing to do with comparing whether Ireland or England had more world class players.

 

[Macca]

No, world class passer, no, no, yes, no

In my opinion

Roy Keane & Liam Brady the only two you could say were world class for Ireland.
