    And he's like that in almost every game. Owen Heary is a class above any other full-back I've ever seen in this league. Yes, he may have lost a yard of pace and struggled with injuries this season but his tackling, positioning, organisational skills at the back and leadership on and off the pitch is still second to none.

    You simply don't win seven league titles in less than ten years if you're a "bluffer". As SkStu said earlier in this thread, anyone who cannot see what an incredible player Heary is knows nothing about football.

    Picking Jason McGuinness on the basis of the racism incident isn't controversial, it's just mind-bogglingly stupid.

    You win that many titles when you're in a team who simply buy the league each year!

    And with regards to McGuinness, he is over-rated as well, Oman and Shelley are far better in there for ye

    What like last year's Bohs side who had the fourth highest budget? Heary is a brilliant defender, not only does he win 99% of ball that comes his way but he also instills those around him with confidence and is a leader on and off the park. Like his mentor, Nutsy, he is a top pro and will one day be a top manager.
    TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

    The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
