He should come back, but he needs to apologise to all and sundry for being such a clown of a human being first. That said if I were his team mate I wouldn't want him back, and Ireland's crazier than he sounds if he thinks Trap or Brady are going to go to him on bended knee

Yeah thats what I heard too. Brady told him ''its our way, or the highway'' or something alone those lines.
A well informed one apparantly
It shouldnt really matter if people dont like each other. Playing for your country should be the motivator. I'd love Ireland to come back. Just come back and play well, but I fear that he's another Roy Keane in temperament, and we cant afford that again.
Seriously????
I wish we had full squad of players with Roy Keanes temperament
Its really not that complicated!!!
Completely agree,,
To the lads above if yer so well informed id love to hear what was "really"
said,, although id say Brady couldnt lay down a table in fairness not to mind the law
That walks out on his country before a world cup, surely we don't need that s*** again.

Funny i thaught this forum was about stephen Ireland and his irish career or lack thereof and not that roy keane arguement AGAIN
Definately not going back into that arguement again
Its really not that complicated!!!
I dont think it matters too much whether Stephen Ireland comes back or not. He obviously doesnt have the aptitude or mentality to handle the pressure of professinal football. I'd be surprised if he is still playing in the premiership in 2 or 3 years, just like Thomas Butler, Sean Thornton etc
So are you basing that on the 80 odd appearances he has already in Man Citys first team ..... or is that not enough proof that he can handle it???
Its really not that complicated!!!
I don't think it's an issue of whether or not he can handle it.....I think it's an issue of whether or not he wants to do it.
It's a motivation problem, not a mental one.
I have the same feeling. Exept more like Liam Miller he will just plod along picking up his pay cheques and never really achieving what he is capable of. The guy is obviously lacking any serious ambition can't we just let this go and move on. We have players of the same level and in my opinion better than him coming through i.e. Owen Garvan and if the hype is justified, James McCarthy. Why must we as Irish football fans demean ourselves and our national team by going cap in hand to average players who have not got the neccessary heart and desire to represent our proud nation. SOD OFF STEPHEN enjoy what will surely be a middle of the road career capped at the end with a million regrets as you tell your kids and grandkids what could have been if only you had been a little more mature as a youngster.
Help something bit me!!!
Stephen Ireland has a lot more ability than Liam Miller and I expect him to do more than just "plod along".
At the same age, Miller was showing a lot more than Ireland has now. In fairness I have heard Ireland is meant to have insane levels of skill, but he's too light. He gets knocked off the ball so easy. He doesn't score enough goals.
His best ability is feeding in Petrov with quick one touch passes.
he probably has, which makes his attitude all the worse, as previously posted he will regret it in years to come especially if Trap and Co lead us to South Africa

Ye but, as has been said, we don't know the full story and he should, hopefully, be back in the fold shortly.
