Uncle Albert Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Im loving this thread, worse than my ones I wouldnt go that far. To the thread. No. I'm followers of the Under 21's arent complaining that Micah Richards is in the squad or Lennon.
Finnegan Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 :laugh:So you think i'm suggesting a ban because it's giving Wales a better chance of beating England tomorrow? I'm guessing you also think i'm suggesting all u21's should be banned from returning to that level if they've played at senior level, unless they're English? :laugh: Moron. Yes. That's exactly what I was implying. No, you berk, it's about the size of different footballing nations and the player-base they have to select from. Your stupid little ruling would do wonders for nations like England, Germany, France, Brazil and co' who reel out hundreds of internationals per generation and who get to gift their players with experience in twice the amount of games through major tournaments; and then completely shit on the little guys. If you weren't such an obnoxious, obtuse little boy I'm sure you'd have worked that out. The current system enables lesser footballing nations (and, yes, I keep using Wales as an example because it's the one I know and the example YOU gave) to draw completely from their talent pool for senior level without stunting the progress and learning curve of their younger lads. The likes of Gareth Bale aren't exactly going to go and get to play at the next world cup, but he's a fantastic prospect and it'll do wonders for his career to get an opportunity to play in the U21 Euros - but the lad's clearly needed by his national side and, as still a teenager, should be honoured to have the opportunity to play for both set ups.

It's a very fair point and one I agree with. How much they develop from U21 games is another debate though... But do you have to come accross as this touchy adolescent that explodes every time Wales and the seven-letter E-word are mentioned in the same sentence?
Asha Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Look, there's no need to call him an obnoxious, obtuse little boy...it's a fair enough point he's making. Fair enough if you don't agree but you don't need to make it personal.

General Smuts Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Finners. Wales should be banned from all competitions in all sports solely to piss you off.
The People's Hero Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Finners. Wales should be banned from all competitions in all sports solely to piss you off. I like Finners best when he's pissed off.
Finnegan Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 But do you have to come accross as this touchy adolescent that explodes every time Wales and the seven-letter E-word are mentioned in the same sentence? I'm just easily baited down to the level of others.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 To tonight's game anyway, I am actually really looking forward to it.
Finnegan Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 To tonight's game anyway, I am actually really looking forward to it. You going?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 You going? Nah, I just reckon it'll be good entertainment, especially if the first leg's anything to go by.
Finnegan Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Nah, I just reckon it'll be good entertainment, especially if the first leg's anything to go by. Hopefully. We've not been bad on the road but if they're going to be intimidated anywhere then away to England's likely. Be interesting, I hope, but I can't say I'm all that optimistic.
lildave3 Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Nah, I just reckon it'll be good entertainment, especially if the first leg's anything to go by. Erm, is this even on TV?!?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Erm, is this even on TV?!? Setanta. Oh yes.
Finnegan Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Fuck just noticed this. Wankers ruined my evening.
davieG Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Setanta. Oh yes. WTF are the FA doing to us fans!
dandannieldanok Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 If you've got access to the internet during the game get on www.justin.tv, it'll be broadcasting on there.
lildave3 Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 If you've got access to the internet during the game get on www.justin.tv, it'll be broadcasting on there. Yeah it's not quite the same.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 I've got access to a TV during the game.
