Norwood absentee

[Pittsburg Blade]

Just curious - Why?

Nowt fer nosies

 

[chesblade]

Thought I read somewhere that he was not going to play for his country as he needed a rest so had informed them he would not be available for selection

 

[Torrix1889]

Maybe he’s got a family member who needs medical treatment or something like that so he can be away for the odd day but not longer.

But he's just been to Valencia with the squad...???

 

[BushBlade]

But he's just been to Valencia with the squad...???

Has he? Not sure then.

 

[sitwell]

Hes part of the backstop ,he will play when Junker and Barnier says he can.

 

[BangorBlade]

Just

Premier league football is more important to him than fighting a losing battle with Ireland.

Just as well he plays for Northern Ireland then

Yeah, Ireland, not England or Wales, Ireland, whether it be North South East or West, it's still Ireland.

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Maybe the reason is "personal" and he chooses not to share it with all and sundry.

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Yup, United or Wednesday, it's still Sheffield eh?

Geography not a strong point I'm guessing.

Different scenario isn't it, Sheffield United or Sheffield Wednesday, not really England England or England Ireland is is it?
So your strong point is??............Cos it's not pointing out fact is it.

 

[BigBed]

Oh, and if you type "IRELAND" into Google, you get this..
Not 2 "IRELAND's" just "IRELAND", so it actually seems, geography is a stronger point of mine, than yours.
But thanks for your effort.

I never actually said that did I................

 

[diode_blade]

Perhaps he doesn’t want to be associated with a tin pot international team.

din't know he qualified to play for the porkies....

 

[bongleblade]

Is he playing tonight against Netherlands? Not seen his name anywhere! They'd be crackers to leave him out

Fancy them leaving out Premier League pass master Norwood in favour of Mark Pembridge.

It's a bloody disgrace!

P.S I presume it was a joke......right?

ahh had no idea! seems early to but he wants to be playing league for as long as possible, fair play to him

 

[I should coco]

seems early to but he wants to be playing league for as long as possible,

Which won't be that much longer if some on here had their way.

Along with McB, Robbinson and of course Lunny, he is now 'crap'.

"B" careful Scott.

Sorry, but I haven't got the foggiest what you are on about.

If this is honey related, you are on the wrong board.

 

[Manuel Azaña]

Maybe his decision to retire from International football wasn't completely football related.
