[Football] Bos-Herze v Ireland

[Mackenzie]

Just back from Wales v Holland. Tom Lawrence is an excellent player, very quick and good feet. Robben is pretty useful too.

 

[Hillian1]

Booooooo.

Soft

Ridiculous penalty for Ireland. No doubt the ref will even it up as he must realise it was a shocking decision.

Not sending off Spahic seems to be the payback there.

2 - 0 to ROI both goals scored by Walters an Irishman born on Merseyside.

Shame Scotland won't be at the party next summer.

You must really hate it when Jamaica born Raheem Sterling plays for England.

Have seen a suggestion that England will be pot 1 and the rest in pot 4, so not unless there's some repositioning to deal with political issues like there was in the qualifiers. Wales and NI are definitely pot 4 and I'm fairly sure ROI will be too.

 

[Simster]

And Scotland will be in pot FIVE.

Are you sure about that?
I thought it was more to do with FIFA rankings - so Wales wont be in the bottom pot....

I do and the same with cricketers born outside of England playing for England irrespective of colour or ability.

It reminds me of a story Mark Lawrenson told me;. on his Ireland debut he said to Paul McGrath, I think it was, standing next to him, this national anthem goes on and was told shut up it is ours.

Good or bad. I believe to qualify to play for a country you should HAVE to be born there whether mother was living there, working there or on holiday. I dont agree with this past family qualification.
