Marius is Magic

Great result for Marius, well done that man :021: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

Congratulations Marius. :021: :021: :021:

:clapping03: :clapping03: :021: :021:  Well done Magic Marius!!!

But this is the "provisional" squad. Does that mean the manager has to drop some members of it for the actual tournament?

Yes but according to reports over there he will take 4 strikers which will include Marius, there will be a lot of midfielders in provisional and that is where majority of the trimming will be done, it is expected that the final 23 will be the same squad that was chosen for the Russia game which Marius was obviously in.

Aye, well done that man, i hope this will lift him so much he will score a hat trick this saturday to give us a nice end to the season.

Well done Marius!!  :021:

Good job lad  :003:

Will do his transfer value no harm when we sell him this summer  :tic01:

Great news for Marius.. He deserves it.....but as always there is a little cynic in me that thinks that some of the ICT board will be rubbing their hands if he plays a blinder at Euro 08

First and foremost it is brilliant to have a player in this tournament. Congratulations to Marius for choosing Inverness to relaunch his career.

Secondly, if Marius makes it to teamsheets it will once again put Inverness on the world map.

so who out of the forwards would you expect too drop out of the provisional?

Top work Marius, well done that man :003:

Well Done Marius  :001:

Top banana, I am now a Romania fan for the duration (provided the provisional Marius goes).

'The 26-man roster... will be cut to 23 before the tournament.  I will choose players who have worked hard and helped us qualify. There will be no surprises," Piturca said.'  :024: Out of the 5 strikers in there most likely it would be Marius that would be dropped

Joe by the way I didn't say I didn't believe your story was just wondering where you got it from

the part I bolded in the above quote comes from the link I posted .... International Herald Tribune (which got it from a worldwide syndicated AP article) ..... Interesting to note in another article that Marica got injured yesterday and his participation is in doubt !! [SOURCE]

Great news.  Australia says "good on yer, Marius"!

Thanks Scotty I misread Joes Post I thought the Romanian coach had said Marius was the most likely to get dropped, I have heard although not confirmed that Maricas injury is not as bad as first thought

fantastic news. Congratulations Marius  :clapping03:

Good for him. I hope he makes the final squad. When all said and done it would be a tremendous coup for ICT to have a player participating at these Championships.
