Don't know if its been mentioned

but george burley came to watch howard on tuesday

 

said in chron last week he was ineligible for scotland

 

why-I'm sure he is even though he played youth level for England? nt

 

Somebody said 'sumert about him being too old to change. nt

 

just repeating what i read. I hope he is eligible - would like to see his value go up nt

 

But thinking about it..

Can't be true because of the talk of Almunia playing for England in a few years?

 

we'll george burley defo came to watch us on tuesday night so i asume it was to watch howard, we havn't got any other potential scots, have we?

 

yes, Reidy, he was on the books at rangers, good enough link for a sh*t national footie team isnt it????????????

 

but.

Has Almunia played for Spain though? I don't think he's even played at youth level for them.

 

RE: but.

No, he hasn't, but youth caps don't make any difference towards changing the nationality you play for.

 

RE: but.

it does if you're over 21.

I thought if you played for under 18's or any youth side then you could change national teams as long as you were under 21. If you're over 21, like bri howard, then you can't change.

Almunia has never played for Spain at any level, so can still choose which national team, as long as he is able to play for them obviously.

 

In the Chron...

Is said that he wouldn't be able to play because oh his age and cos on the fact he'd played for England at youth level.
