Yeah he was in great form until he got injured. Hope that streak will keep him in the Prem, maybe with a Norwich or Swansea.

West Brom are interested in signing Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given, who would cost around £3.5m.

No way Given commands any sort of transfer fee. Man City will be very lucky if anyone takes them off their hands for free.

Shay Given's wages are too high for him to command much of a transfer fee.
For example, Messi would have next to no transfer value if he was on wages of a million pounds a week.
Given is a great player who is on very good money, too good in fact. You can't blame him for sticking it ou on the bench at Man City when he's making so much money.
Robbie Keane is in the same boat.

There are plenty of former League of Ireland players playing in England currently. In fact, quite a few of them feature in the international team. In fact, Seamus Coleman attracted more attention than anyone would have previously imagined in last season's Premiership.

£80,000 a week is an obscene amount of money.

Can't blame em. As i just said they are on an obscene amounts of money. It's no wonder so many players put club before country.

Playing 9 games in an entire season because of injury is hardly going to endear him to clubs. He seemed to roll from one injury to another.

Hull interested in Darron Ambrose while QPR may be interested too. QPR would certainly help his career more.

Was meant to be getting his papers sorted http://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/ambrose-is-set-for-trap-door-2525639.html but no recent developments that I've heard about.

Ah balls. Pilks is a huge player for Town, I really hope he'll stay and get us promoted (finally) next season.
It's also worth noting that he suffered a desperate injury a few months ago and it'll be a good long while before he's back to his best, if that's even possible.

I've no doubt he is on the radar of Premier LEague clubs but surely not on the basis of a game where he only had to make one save in injury time.

True, but also not on the basis of coming in as first choice keeper maybe. But you never know.

Also what's with the reference to shut-out?
Clean sheet anyone? This isn't hockey.

Nothing like a shut out on a road game. Nothing like it.

...and on our winningest run in a few years.
I like the look of Forde. Solid, unfussed and a mammoth kick out. He has a presence, an inner confidence that calms his defenders. OK, I've only seen him play about 100 minutes, but that's what I noted in him!

I saw him play once last season at Leicester, conceded four that day and one was very saveable. However his kicking was spot on all day, there was a lad on loan from Man City making his debut for Leicester at CB and he was struggling, really struggling, and Forde kicked repeatedly, and accurately just in over his head all day long, causing all sorts of problems, spotted it very early and punished it.

Nicely judged. Is like to see him given a run out against Croatia.

I don't know. It almost seems like more of an achievement when the centre has been ejected from the game by the umpire before the halftime.

Is there anything better than a short-handed goal when that happens?
Charlie Darwin
20/06/2011, 4:54 PM
You're right. There is nothing more dandy than a heel-kick short-handed goal right on the hooter, after regulation time.

all things considered, everyone being fit and well, I wouldn't. The imperative against Croatia has to be getting the team right for Slovakia and then Russia.
If they go well, hopefully there will be plenty of friendlies from November - May to experiment ahead of the Euro's.

Ireland always have someone on the Injured Reserve list though.

"winningest" the most contrived word I ever heard. What ever happened to 'most successful'. What is happening to the English language?

THE EVOLUTION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
In 1350 Aristotle (the Greek philosopher) said: "To do is to be."
In 1450 Sartre, the French impressionist, said: "To be is to do."
In 1575, Sheakpeare, as we all know, said: "To be or not to be."
And in 1966 Frank Sinatra capped it all off with: "Do be do be do"
