James McClean - a standing ovation on his debut, people calling for Traps head when he didn’t pick him- now a squad player for Wigan
Shane Long- A superstar,touted for Seville and Lazio, people calling for Traps head when he wouldn’t play him - 1 competitive goal for Ireland,WBA tried to sell him at a loss to Hull
Wes Houlihan- the player touted now as the one to save us- great passer of the ball etc etc, in reality a journeyman who failed at Falkirk ,was ok at Shels,currently cant get his game for Norwich
Andy Reid- Similar to Houlihan, a championship player
M Wilson,C Clark- touted as solid EPL players that must start, reality is that they are below average journeymen who constantly
under perform
James McCarthy- EPL superstar who should have played all euros qualifiers for us- reality is that when he did play we were absolute muck(Germany,Sweeden,Austria)
Spot on mate.
Paul McShane - another debutant who got a standing ovation on his debut, despite getting beaten for the goal by Koller.
Darron Gibson - the passing midfield playmaker we’d been crying out for. Turned out to be an uninfluential passenger.
Soccer is losing out to rugby and Gaelic games. We are producing no decent players and all the talented kids are shunning soccer. There was more skill and effort in 5 mins of the hurling final then there was in Ireland’s entire campaign.
You can blame the shambles that is the FAI on that.

Blaming the FAI for the quality of the All Ireland hurling final seems a stretch.
funny how Oireland go to shit when the much maligned McGeady isnt playing
without him we have no creativity
And a fat cunt.

So Shane long was a good hurler but ‘muck’ soccer player…
I don’t see how the two correlate…
@Rocko on a completely different topic, when will the ignore function work on the app?
