jarvis1981 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Well it's about time. You need to get these young guys in the mix. Katso and Kara are bench material at best at this stage of their careers. I prefer that they aren't even on the National team because their influence will be too great. It's only a practice game but we'll see how this affects the games that count down the road. It's a winnable game but Ireland will be pumped.

mangas21 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 who is the L E A D E R of this team? someone will have to emerge... where is fetfa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover22 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 He'll find a way to f uck things up for the NT when we get to the next qualifier, and yes his two bitches, Kats and Kara, will be back. As you can see he calls Dimoutsos, Kone and Iam-very-well-connected-but-a-below-average-player Vyntra, but once again leaves out Fetfa. I'm not surprised; this is the same old sh it, so WHO CARES?

js1000 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 why are you guys pining for fetfa he doesn't play for his club side, how do you expect him to get picked for the NT? he does not deserve a call up. as for a leader papadopoulos or papastathopoulos or torosidis can lead from the back. samaras captained celtic the other day and does have the experience.

Irlandos Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 @irlande are you gonna make the journey south to see the match?? Nope, already got the tickets to go see NI - Azerbaijan - one of the few competitive matches this Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangas21 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 fet: the only guy that dribble around someone, left footed. fast. very good passer.. thats why....he adds a dimension we dont have...its a friendly game so in form does not matter, he gets a chance to play with the NT and integrate with the new crop of young guys. i thought skills mattered......this non call suggests santos has NO use for him whatsoever...

mangas21 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 kone - head is a bonehead.....everywhere he has gone he has been trouble - lack of teamwork, getting sent off etc etc...i watched him play against ecuador - confrontation almost EVERYTIME he was involved in a play....i know i always bark about "attitude" and confidence, but he is waaaaay overboard... fet is the perfect substitute for him.....anyone who disagrees is just not being intellectually honest with their response......

I was at that game, Kone was good, and set up our only goal. Definitely agree on Fetfatzidi, though. Somebody needs to give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangas21 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 om, kone has skills....he does....no argument about that....just he is a hothead and our team really needs cohesion, not dissension. If he can get his emotional act together, i think he adds alot......as i said, i LIKE his brashness and moxy - u need that and we need that on this team.....we dont need someone who throws his hands up in disgust every time he does not get the pass HE thinks he should have gotten, or his pass goes awry; i ve been on plenty of teams where attitudes like that disrupt chemistry, and eventually, these types of personalities get frozen out by everyone else....but he has skills, and i would be willing to give him time to mature....... fet is another story....
