Shane Long hasn’t an ounce of football in him. He ten times worse in the flesh than he looks on TV, there was one stage tonight where he was running in behind the defence for about 15 yards after we had lost the ball, going miles offside in the process, he is utterly devoid of composure or any semblance of technique.
Shane Long is a fucking dinosaur.
Long played hurling for Tipp enough said.
Shane Long was the saviour not so long ago according to many Irish ‘fans’. I think it was Coleman after that, McCarthy after that, McLean after that.
I would only rate Coleman and McCarthy as being decent and McCarthy is not really someone who excels in a 4-4-2. Irish football is at a very low point right now and there needs to be a big change in the way the game is being coached at grass roots.
There aren’t too many players who can come in and improve this team right now - Stokes and McGeady are the only two I can think of. I thought tonight really showed how devoid of ideas we were without the outlet of McGeady for all the flak he takes, he is the only player who consistently shows for the ball and shows the commitment to do something creative.
Westwood has to be ahead of fatty indecisive Forde, shit call Trap.
Looks like Everton paid £12.5m too much for McCarthy on tonights performance, he was a disgrace. Let down yet again by a Scottish cunt.
shane long & james mccarthy are imposters
Infairness to McCarthy there isn’t a central midfielder in the World who’d shine when the ball is being kicked twenty feet over your head all night
I see its not Mr Trapattoni anymore.
Even bandage has turned on him

I said decent. Those cunts have not done anything since 2008.[/quote]
Got to the semi of our primary competition and didn’t absolutely shit ourselves last season DK. How did Limerick go this year.
Youv a short fucking memory
Part of the reason why this was because McCarthy showed no willingness to get on the ball.

Boring boring shite.
All the people who criticised robbie keane over his career won’t have too long more to wait before they get a serious less on on how good he is.
There is no chance the old bluffer will quit and the fai don’t have the money to part him off.
It’s hard to build up money when you are paying delaney and bringing children from all over the country To dublin for club games

Is his contract only until September though?
If so fuck him out with the remainder of the contract and let someone else have a crack.
some amount of shit in this thread
they had the big Z ,we had Shane Long
no football fan in the world would expect us to do better than them
3 or 4th in the group is doing well
You’d think he was making Xavi like movement to get on the ball. Until he learns to get into position for a pass he will not be a good footballer.

Aside from Z, where do the other Swedish players ply their trade? Does anyone have a list there…
I listed it before the game in Stockholm. They have players generally playing at a higher level than our lads.
aside from Z?
Fair enough… Dig it out there while you’re doing nothing.
In fairness Elmander didn’t look like an international footballer. Desperate touch.
