Perhaps we can bribe him with free hair plugs.
Ask him to come back. And don't pick him...
Unless he deserves it on merit, then treat him as a newbie and use him as a sub in friendlies etc.

He's being a bit non-committal, but I'd imagine at this stage it might be to avoid the embarrassment of not being picked. If he was playing well enough, I'd gladly have him back.
Agreed, though news to me - is it an Irish granny?Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
It was, sadly she has passed.

Irony alert...
back of the net, as regards your signature and apropos of nothing other than this is a debate about Ireland, your country is actually Ireland, not the Republic of Ireland. Have a look at your passport and the Official name of the State.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Owlsfan............read all my signature...."Republic of Ireland Forever" is representative of my football team not the island of ireland.
In football terms are we not recognised by UEFA and FIFA as "Republic of Ireland" or do you know something that i dont?
He gave the ball away cheaply for Arsenal's 3rd. Looked tidy enough otherwise from the 25 mins or so that I saw. He doesn't mind being on the ball, which is often a useful attribute for a footballer. He still looks every inch a final-third player though, rather than a guy who can grab a game and influence it.
Thought he looked very tidy for his short appearance against arsenal ...considering the lack of game time he has been getting over the past while is good to see.
Must say at times during the 08/09 season at city i thought he did influence games albeit thats along time ago now
Ardee - cant access it - whats the photo?
Same photo, more about the comments...
You must know someone on Facebook, surely?
Seems his career began to nosedive when he ditched the wig. I'd only consider having him back if he came back with the wig, and only if it was a ginger wig too. Needs to do something to prove his commitment imo.
I voted yes to the poll, wish I could unvote that yes though. The lad is a tulip.

Reckon if he did actually come back, he would prove to be the first Irish player to be booed by the majority of an Irish crowd.
Which is a negative vibe which probably means it's not worth considering?
Probably wouldn't myself, but could understand why.
He is on record as saying he watched us play on telly and felt nothing so it'd be pretty difficult to endear himself to the fans again. That said, we've had such a drought of creativity that if the Divil himself was handy on the ball in the centre and had an Irish grandparent then we'd probably take him.
I've no time for him but it's a new start for everyone. New manager, new ideas (or old ideas but in English), clean slate for everyone. Game on.
That's my opinion too, but he should be one to contact the FAI to make himself available.
Therefore, I don't think it's going to happen.
If it did happen by some outcome, I think there would be little to bother about, he's a small personality in the scheme of things and we have managed in the past to get over the return of an infinitely larger and more divisive personality.
