Darron Gibson

According to PhysioRoom.com, Darron Gibson is the third most injury-prone EPL player in terms of cumulative days players have spent on the sidelines over the past six seasons: https://www.balls.ie/football/most-i...-league-363824

Move has worked out great for Gibson playing lots of games great to see him start again tonight.

'Relegation for Ireland’s Sunderland Duo May Bring about Contrasting Fortunes': http://www.punditarena.com/football/...d-ireland-duo/

It is a shame given Gibson’s talents, especially now that he is back playing but the Championship could be a platform for the 29-year-old to finally resurrect his once promising career and get back in the Ireland fold.

Relegation will be the same result for O’Shea and Gibson but open up two very contrasting opportunities. Unlike Gibson, O’Shea does not have the time on his hand or the vision of career resurrection. His efforts over the past few years for his side cannot be ignored with his heroics putting off relegation for season upon season. O’Shea has nothing left to prove but a run in the Championship for Gibson could be a blessing in disguise.

Darron Gibson starting five games in a row from February 11th is the most consecutive games he's started since since starting six games in March 2013

That's a decent article in fairness, not sure I've ever read anything worthwhile from that website before. I didn't know O'Shea's contract expires in June, that's a bit of a worry as I would have thought regular football in the Championship might have suited him at this stage as well, still might happen of course.

Good to see Gibson put a few appearances together but there always a question mark hanging over him, certainly in the title of this thread.

nothing about recording a person without their knowledge?

He's in public. No legal expectation of privacy.

As a friend of mine said to me: Next comment will be "I am delighted to be signing for ( insert name of mid table championship club ). I have always looked out for the (insert nickname, hoping its right) results. The manager has big ambitions for taking the club forward and I want to part of that".

If a manger wants him out the door then he has been handed the opportunity......

Starts in the cup tonight, if ever a man could do with a decent 90 so he can relax and enjoy his feed of pints after, its Darron tonight.

**KrisLetang** · 10/08/2017, 9:16 PM

"Darron Tonight"
Maybe he could have a show called that discussing world events if he fails in the cup and can't find a new team.

**Philly** · 11/08/2017, 9:25 AM

Apparently played very well

**liamoo11** · 31/10/2017, 6:46 PM

I see Gibson starting again tonight 2 games in a row is he worth a call in with McCarthy and Meyler out of away leg?

**liamoo11** · 05/11/2017, 11:49 AM

starting again today 3 in a row. O Kane was subbed at half time yesterday if him and McCarthy are both out with meyler suspended I wonder will darron come into bench for first leg?
