    Curtis Fleming

    I've seen Fleming play about 4 or 5 games now - including some fairly key ones - and I have to say, he looks rather average.

    I know a player in his position isn't supposed to set the world alight, but he is supposed to be solid, which he's not. His tackles are often not decisive, he's not difficult to run or dribble around, and his passing is at times woeful. I really don't see what he's brought to the league that wasn't already here...?

    What sort of yo-yo's is he on at Shels ? Can't be cheap surely...

    Dunno what he's getting from Shels, but he wanted €900 from us afaik. Glad we got Frosty instead.

    Was loooking for 900 a week from pats and would only be in ireland for 5 days of the week. Not sure about transport costs tbh...

    He was as good a player as there's been in this league back in late 80s/early 90s but now he's past it. Great to see him play a role in the Shels downfall though, showing he's still a Pat's man at heart

    Strange choice to play him in midfield tonight, thought he looked a bit lost.

    Yeah but that's Nutsy's fault for playing him there. He's never played in midfield in his long career

    Great defender in his day but over the hill now. Strange decision to play him in midfield in such a big game.

    I think anyone playing for Shels now would look crap. However i though Fleming was brought in for left back & defensive cover. says a lot that Fenlon would play him in midfield ahead of Moore, Ndo, Ryan, Reynolds etc...

    Fleming should be at left back ahead of Crawley, Ndo or Moore in midfield.
    All $h€l$ fans seem to know this, most eL fans do as well, why can't Nuttsy and the ballboy figure this out?

    Exactly Patsh, why is it obvious to everybody apart from Fenlon and Bosco?

    '‘I gave up my wedding to make my Irish debut - it may have been a once in a lifetime chance'': http://www.the42.ie/curtis-fleming-l...37672-Apr2017/

Some people say you can’t make the step up from schoolboys to League of Ireland, but I am going to play you in the first 10 games of the season. If you don’t do well enough, then I may drop you, but I can’t see that happening.’ I signed and then had a wonderful time with Pat’s. I probably didn’t appreciate it enough back then, but there was so much laughter.

    ...

    I had calls to play for Jamaica – who went on to play in the 1998 World Cup – because my father was from there. I was asked to play but I wouldn’t. I was brought up Irish and I am mad about Ireland, so I wanted to wait. I knew if I just got one cap for Ireland I would be buzzing and luckily enough I got 10. And making my debut against Portugal was an amazing feeling. Standing there singing the national anthem with the shirt on – being one of the 11 Irishmen that can play – for me that was a dream. I gave up my wedding, it may have been a once in a lifetime chance, I had to take it. We were due to get married in Las Vegas but I got a call from Mick McCarthy, so we ended up getting married in the Middlesbrough Registry Office.
