The Norwich players dominating the International scene thread

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 7:57 pm

Snodgrass with a goal already, Hoolahan bossing the Ireland game, Martin and Whittaker part of the Scottish brick wall.

A place to discuss Norwich players, playing for their country Cool

(The Wolf played 45 mins for Holland today as well)

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:06 pm

My god Alan Hutton is awful

by Guest Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:22 pm

How many players do we have representin' tonight Olly?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:24 pm

4 playing as we speak I believe. Snodgrass, Norfolk Cafu, Whittaker for the Scots, Wessi for the Irish

The Wolf has already dominated for the Dutch

by Guest Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:27 pm

I was expecting the Republic to get a bagful tonight. Still time mind.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:31 pm

They are missing McCarthy and Long. Keane, Walters and Cox is hardly the most potent of attacking forces

by Guest Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:32 pm

Still. This is the Faroe's..

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:34 pm

Need to put Wessi in the hole where he is most effective, rather than in a sort of deep lying playmaker role, which he never plays

by NickisBHAFC Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:35 pm

I love Robbie Keane's celebration.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 8:41 pm

Russell Martin's gonna do well to come out of this game without a back injury. What with him carrying Grant Hanley all game

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:03 pm

WESSI!!!

What a playa

by Guest Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:12 pm

What a result for Scotland. The birthplace of my very own mother!

by The Special Juan Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:13 pm

l.m.f.a.o

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:13 pm

Told ya Russ Martin was good TSJ

by GSC Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:13 pm

The commentators celebrating like Scotland just won the Euros.

by The Special Juan Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:16 pm

He and Hanley were great tonight Olly. Croatia were absolutely woeful though. Is Modric injured or has he just been so bad for Real Madrid that he's not even getting picked? Aside from him, full strength Croatia team I think.

by Colan (niner) Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:18 pm

typical for us, we can beat the big teams but not the little ones

by Colan (niner) Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:20 pm

Very impressed by Russell Martin, didn't know much about him but he and Hanley stood up well to top class strikers like Mandzukic, Eduardo, Olic etc. I also just won near enough 50 quid on a miniscule punt on Scotland. Have faith in your own and you'll win big!

by NickisBHAFC Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:20 pm

Fantastic win for Scotland. Full credit to them. Shame that Gordon Greer and Liam Bridcutt both withdrew through.

Nice way for them to sign of for the summer though!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:22 pm

Russell Martin isn't even Scottish Laugh

by Guest Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:23 pm

My nan told me on her deathbed that there'd be days I'd bleed tartan. Today is one of them days.

by monty junior Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:27 pm

Croatia were pretty bad to be fair, if we had had a little more confidence we could have scored more. Great result though, i'd feel confident we could get something off them and with still Macedonia to play too we may yet scrape third.

One last thing

Get it right up ye Strimic ya f*d!!

by Colan (niner) Fri 07 Jun 2013, 9:56 pm

I'm still 50/50 about having English players in Scotland team. Guys like Rhodes may as well be Scottish because of how long he lived here but people like Martin just show up. Its a choice between playing for scotland with 10x more passionate fans and better atmosphere with dire football or waiting for the unlikely chance to play for England with comparably poor fans but better football.

by Kay Fabe Fri 07 Jun 2013, 10:13 pm

I thought Martin was excellent tonight, we are struggling for CBs and had no idea he xoukd play there, he was a calming influence, glad Snoddy scored, I know him well, good pals with my little cousin, excellent game tonight.

Scotland didnt even look in much trouble

by monty junior Fri 07 Jun 2013, 10:21 pm

At least it clears us from the danger of hitting our lowest ever ranking.

Just hope we can build on it, not give the usual lot a free pass back in to the first team. Would have liked to have seen GMS at some point, Conway was good when he came on, i like the guys who show a bit of intent to run at their man, Hutton put in some excellent runs too.

You wish.

You can feel the Scottish passion flooding through when they bandwagon whoever England play in a tournament

Which is no different to any club rivalry. Same sport.

Paint drying anyone? Been done.

I don't actively root againist England (sometimes......)but I know a lot who do. I must admit though that the reception Diego Maradona got was great at Hampden a few year back, got to love the guy. As for Scotland having more passionate fans than England, I'm afraid it is common knowledge. I've actually been lucky to visit Wembley during an England game twice (as a neutral!) And despite there being double the amount of fans at hampden or something, the atmosphere really is no match. Scotland fans are routinely voted best fans in world and are known for it. England known for better players by far, Scotland known for better fans by far, quite simple. Really no argument againsit sadly as I wish we had better players!. Not saying England fans are bad, well above average obviously but just not quite the same.

by Colan (niner) Sat 08 Jun 2013, 12:28 am

I'm just hoping Russell Martin keeps Gary Caldwell out of Scotland team after that performance. I'd love for Snodgrass to pop up with dome more goals too, always seems a threat at back post in particular. Barrel shouldered too

by westisbest Tue 13 Aug 2013, 5:27 pm

Should have the beating of Wales.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 13 Aug 2013, 8:03 pm

Redmond scored 3 minutes into the U21 game tonight.

He's gonna be good this boy

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 13 Aug 2013, 8:09 pm

Now an assist for the young lad

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 13 Aug 2013, 10:17 pm

Nathan Redmond with a goal and two assists in a man of the match performance for England U21's tonight.

Hoping to see lots of him this coming season

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 14 Aug 2013, 10:33 pm

ALL CAME THROUGH UNSCATHED

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 05 Sep 2013, 3:20 pm

Josh Murphy and Harry Toffolo get a start for the England U19's.

Redmond should be in action for the U21's later as well

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 05 Sep 2013, 9:23 pm

Redmond put in a strong performance, subbed off on 75 mins, needs to improve on his decision making tho.

Carlton Morris came off the bench and grabbed a goal on debut for the U19's.

Future's bright

by ncfc_Tooze Thu 05 Sep 2013, 9:25 pm

still plenty more still to play yet aswell

by westisbest Fri 06 Sep 2013, 12:21 pm

No Hoolahan tonight for the men in green.

by westisbest Fri 06 Sep 2013, 12:22 pm

Or Pilkington.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 06 Sep 2013, 12:27 pm

Please please please don't tell me Jon Walters is starting ahead of them

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 06 Sep 2013, 9:04 pm

Watching the Ireland game, how on earth McLean is playing ahead of Pilks/Wessi I dunno, awful awful player

This guy any good?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 07 Oct 2013, 6:05 pm

Pilks has been on great form the past two games West, as far as I know nothing wrong with him at the minute!

I don't think he'll ever be more than a lower league/non league player tbh West

by westisbest Mon 07 Oct 2013, 6:08 pm

Cheers:OK:

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Oct 2013, 3:43 pm

Martin Olsson scored in Sweden's win against Austria last night, many others involved.

West rumors Pilks has a hamstring injury?
