    Not true.
    He will now no longer play for Ireland, but for his 'boyhood nation' instead.

    Today's the day where I finally became a 21st century man...because I was hit with a baseless copyright strike for something I posted on social media, and I'm expected to sit down and shut up about it even though it's clearly bullshit.

    The last part didn't work out as hoped...

    Puskas: 84 goals in 89 games, Koscis: 75 goals in 68 games, Klose: 71 goals in 137 games, Muller: 68 goals in 62 games.
    To be fair to Keane though, they were all out-and-out goalscorers playing in very, very good teams.
    Neither of those applies to our former forward, in my opinion. His record's still close to the only modern player on that list, too.

    Good to see we have no players in U21 squad.

    I am actually happy when no players go away on international duty-they get tired or injured and don't get to train with their club

    I went to a water park yesterday (I'm in Spain at the moment) and the rides were good but my experience was effectively ruined by the length of the queues. "What do you expect at this time of year" I hear you cry. Indeed so, but the queue time was significantly increased by not having a "speedy pass" (entry into a priority queue) which was given significant priority in this particular park.

    So do I have a right to be upset? Well not really of course because I did have the option to spend more and buy a speedy pass too. On the other hand, it does seem to be IMHO a sad reflection of modern society where the people that spend more can be so much in your face prioritised at theme parks. Sure people with more money have always had priority. They can eat at more expensive restaurants for example, or travel in first class on the train. I get that. But in all the examples I can think of the people with more money were somewhere else. In a queue at the theme park they are in the same place as you, just demonstrating that they can go on more rides.

    I'm probably getting upset about nothing because frankly the speedy pass people probably got to go on twice as many rides as me. However I'd so much rather the theme parks worked out how much extra profit they made from priority passes and divided that cost among all the entrance fees - I'd be very happy to pay that bit more - but I just don't think the two ticket system is fair, and above all it is visibly not fair. They also won't be calling the normal entrance ticket a "second class" ticket, because that it what it actually is!

    People sit around thinking up ways to extract more money from people. Added value is the word I think. They are only interested in the bottom line, that's the world we have lived in for the last 37 years. Younger people are starting to question it, at last.

    Airlines do the same-priority and speedy boarding.

    A day will come when that will be standard and a third tier will be created.

    I have to admit that I pay extra for extra leg room and that gives you speedy boarding as well.

    always a short back n sides for me but then I found gangster rap.

    However I would always wear a tailor made suit with the cockerel emblem proudly on my chest if I was Spurs gaffer....+1 from Spurcat.

    It was absolutely shocking to me in a good way (for once), that the easy winner in popularity between Sanders, Clinton and Trump was Sanders. I don’t know what’s more refreshing: that people, especially the young, look on a lifetime of opposing the plutocracy as a badge of honor, or that moderates and even some conservatives were saying, well, Sanders doesn’t believe what I believe. But at least he believes something.

    The plane cannot depart until ALL passengers are onboard and seated. :)

    I have been given priority boarding on flights from time to time and all it
    has ever given me is the opportunity to get my baggage into the overhead
    compartments first. Priority seat buying is a similar fallacy.

    That senator in the 50's would have been after Bernie Saunders as an outright communist!
    With Saunders and Trump,I always thought that one sounded like Hitler and the other acted like Hitler.
    But I'm an Englishman.What do I know?

  20. Jake Livermore has given a really insightful and quite moving interview to Jenas on BBC
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37204786

    Enfield-born and a Spurs man through and through, this guy was clearly in a very bad place, but seems to have come through it.
    Some would say that he was let off lightly and was able to continue his career almost without intervention. I would say that that it was a situation that was viewed and adjudicated on with an amazing amount of sense and compassion by the football powers that be - and the fact that the lad has been able to turn the situation around both on and off the pitch is the lasting testament that this was a good call.

    Wishing him the best for his future and I am sure that he will be warmly greeted at WHL whenever he returns :emoticon-0148-yes:
