Heard Hoddle saying on commentary thd other day how players had to be playing regularly in premier league to get picked. What a load of tosh.

Bang on. Nothing to do with what league you play in if you have enough talent and someone that can put the right players playing together.

Who was the last non premier league player to get picked for England? (English based obvs)

[Shepherds Mush]

Who was the last non leagie player to get picked for England?

Non-PL.....Tom Heaton was in the Championship when he got picked? Before that probably Steve Bull!

So Glenns not actually chatting shite for once then.
Prem or no chance.

Sad fact really.

Does amaze me though if Oxlade-Chamberlain (who is sh*te) gets picked consistently why not give Tom Cairney (for example, who is probably a class above the Championship) a chance ?

Our very own Jay Bothroyd in 2010 played for England while still at championship Cardiff.

ha..doh! Born in England though wasn't he or was that something I imagined?

Point is, there are some quality Championship players that will get overlooked for absolute donkeys like Oxlade Chamberlain. Same goes for some of those at unfashionable PL clubs. Mark Noble consistently overlooked when he was performing better than someone like Henderson.

Manning playing for Irland U-21 tonight

Against Norway. Upfront on his own it looks like.

[FurtiveFox]

Shouldn't he be playing wing back?

[Shania]

Tactical advice from Ollie.?

[Shania]

Manning is quite lively in a nr.10 position, but Jake Mulraney has scored for Irland. I-1. Martin Ødegaard scored an excellent 1st. goal for Norway.

[Brian Wilson]

Mulraney ex QPR...turned down one year extension to sign for Inverness I think.

[Shania]

Mulraney was quite lively in the first 45 minute. Strong and dangerous (at this level) it looks like.

We don't have any young strikers coming through
