Paul McShane

[geysir]

BBC rumours are a bit closer to the ground.
There Sunderland offered <£5m for Gordon.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Fair enough - I don't read The Star so I wouldn't have known that!
:rolleyes: Looks like youngirish has some competition for the saddest poster here.

Hearts are looking for £10m though.

[RogerMilla]

Hearts are looking for £10m though.

I dont rate craig gordan that much at all , and just because he has been handy for hearts and occasionally for scotland doesnt mean he would cut the mustard in the premiership. Over valued in my opinion .

[irishfan86]

Gordon is a top class goalie and will be worth whatever he sells for.

Anyone who has seen Celtic play Hearts can attest to this fact.

[Stuttgart88]

He scored an OG at parkhead last year to gift Celtic an undeserved win! I think he's a very good young keeper but nothing more at this stage.

[Dr. Ogba]

Can anyone say he's better than Shay Given?

[Stuttgart88]

Not even close, but he's a lot younger.

[Torn-Ado]

Gordon is a top class goalie and will be worth whatever he sells for.

Gordon usually always has nightmares against Celtic.

[paul_oshea]

turned again for the second and first was a deflection off him. still think he is prone to mistakes.

[eirebhoy]

He got another bonus point in the fantasy football...my source of reference. :D

thats it drop him he is useless what have we ever won with Mc Shane get rid of this ginger ****er.

[Billsthoughts]

Its a valid point to make that MacShane is prone to the odd error. sure we have seen that even for Ireland. Thats all he did was point this out.

[paul_oshea]

is it that time of the month Neil?! I was only pointing out what I thought.

[SunderlandBohs]

He was unlucky with the first goal but went to ground to early for O'Connor's goal. I think he's still a little raw for the prem & might need an experience head beside him but he has the makings of a good centre half. I thought himself & Nosworthy we're brilliant against Spurs.

[dr_peepee]

Nah. Wasn't his fault at all. He had to go to ground but should have done so safe in the knowledge that the covering defender would be ready for the turn back. Can't recall who it was but he just stood in the area watching McShane slide in and O'Connor slot home.

[Stuttgart88]

He was unlucky for Wigan's first, the cross deflecting off him straight to Heskey.

I never realised he was so short - the ref towered over him.

He went off with a cut forehead, the result of fearlessly attacking the ball in the air. He reminds me of Kevin Moran in many ways. I hope he is patched up for Wednesday.

you cant keep being unlucky though....

Tuff, it was just a point thats all, add something worthwhile rather than just sprouting.

he was turned too easy.

[eirebhoy]

That's why it's incredible that he found it so easy against Koller and Berbatov. He just reads the game so well.

[dr_peepee]

he was turned too easy.

Yes, he was turned easy. Watch it again though if you can (I can't find it online). He had to get accross, had to commit himself and was 100% right to commit himself. The other guy, can't recall who it was, should have been ready for the turn back.

I will garauntee before this season is out judging from his performance today Micah Richard is gonna get turned on a maverick defensive attempted tackle but Richie Dunne will be there to sweep up the left over. You're defensive partners can make or break your reputation.

[genethekerryman]

ive heard his shoulder is bothering him, may keep him out against czechoslovakia

[Carrigaline]

Being linked with a loan move to Crystal Palace. Clearly needs to start playing if he has a hope of making it to Poland.

[Stuttgart88]

McShane and McCarthy - no nonsense there!

[gastric]

Daily Mail also running witht this story. The defence could become very Irish with the above mentioned duo and John Egan.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2085954/Crystal-Palace-loan-Paul-McShane.html

[Carrigaline]

1 month loan deal to Palace confirmed. Good move, he needed to start playing football.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16554592.stm

[SwanVsDalton]

He needs it if he has any hope of making the Euros. Personally I hope he doesn't but at least he's going for it. Good to see the likes of him and Gibson seeking football. Any Palace watchers have any idea how he might fare in their team? Would he start?

[Paddy Garcia]

... he needed to start playing football.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16554592.stm

Indeed - every time he takes to the pitch ideally.

[zero]

mcshane and egan started at centre half for palace today away at blackpool. keeping a clean sheet so far with 10 to play, palace one up.

[Paddy Garcia]

They have just let 2 late goals in - usual story!

[geysir]

McShane had a very good game according to Palace fans who attended the game and who write legible match reports on Palace fans' message boards.

[Yard of Pace]

Anyone see his amazing last-ditch clearance on the Football League show last night? It was absolutely brilliant. With his long hair and headband he'd pass for a ginger Nesta.

[geysir]

It's here, 38 seconds into the highlights

[Paddy Garcia]

He is one for the heroics - like his run and assist against Italy.

It's his ability to defend on a systematic basis that worries me.

[Charlie Darwin]

The Bull McShane put Hull 2-1 up in extra time at White Hart Lane, but they couldn't hang on and it's going to penalties. Surely to be settled by a Paul McShane penalty.

[Charlie Darwin]

Well he hasn't scored the winning penalty, but he did convert his in style off the bar. Meyler and Quinn had already scored very well-taken penalties. Could be into a second round soon of kicks too.

edit: Elmohamady misses :(

[tricky_colour]

Shame Hull went out, they seem to be playing really well, nice to see an Irish central? midfield taking on Spurs and competing,
didn't see the match unfortunately wish I had!!

[Charlie Darwin]

I only saw the shoot-out myself, but as Meyler went to take his penalty, the commentators said he'd put in an immense performance and didn't deserve to miss. Thankfully, the Irishmen put in 100% of their penalties, and it was left to the English, Argentinians and Egyptians to miss the shots on goal :)

No doubt the Irish are saving their misses for internationals!!! :p

[geysir]

Typical McShane ......
Just after getting back into the first team and playing well, he gets seriously injured in a collision with his own goalie.
Stretchered off, after 4 or 5 minutes attention. Something with his ankle I think.

[sadloserkid]

Typical McShane ...... and playing well

Oh the lolz.

He's very injury prone. Like most Irish players. Second time this season he's lost his place in the team after a brief - and impressive - run.

That's Brady, Quinn and McShane who've had terrible luck with injuries this season. Henderson and Meyler who have lost years of their careers. Long, who took months to get back to his best after Hutton deliberately tried, and succeeded, in injuring him.

I thought he had broken his ankle.


HULL CITY (http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hullcity) boss Steve Bruce says defender Paul McShane may not have broken his ankle, but he still fears the defender has suffered serious ankle ligament damage in the 1-0 defeat by Southampton tonight.
McShane was carried off on a stretcher after a 12th-minute incident led to a lengthy stoppage, forcing City into a reshuffle and the Irishman off to hospital for scans.
The Tigers eventually succumbed to a 69th-minute goal from Jose Fonte, but their immediate concerns are with McShane, who has undergone x-rays which appear to show no break has been suffered.
When asked about the prognosis, Bruce said: "It’s worrying, he’s had x-rays and there’s nothing broken.
"We expect ligament damage but until we see scans tomorrow we don’t know how severe."

It's interesting how Bruce seems to understate injuries, there appears to be no break which Bruce takes as there
being no break. Some breaks do not show up well, however whatever it is it does not sound too bad, a minor break
should heal quickly I expect.

I think Bruce gave a fair off the cuff assessment. Considering McShane had just come back into the team, after 10 weeks out with ankle ligament damage, Trap possibly would have said 'McShane was finished - I have never seen a player recover from 2 such injuries in row' :)

The full quote from Bruce.
“Paul has had x-rays and they revealed no break,” said Bruce.
“But if you saw the incident like I did, the video evidence doesn’t look great and his ankle was in a horrible position, so we fear ligament damage and as we know, ligament damage can sometimes be worse than a break"

[Charlie Darwin]

That is absolutely rotten luck for him after working so hard to get back in the team. Hopefully it's one that looks worse than it is.

[IsMiseSean]

Unlucky for Paul. He looked to have got himself back into the team alongside Davies.

I think he gets unfair stick from some Irish fans. He has normally played at RB for Ireland which isn't his best position.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-City-defender-Paul-McShane-months-ankle/story-20622177-detail/story.html

Out for 6 months.

[Charlie Darwin]

********, that's close to as bad as it could have been.

[tetsujin1979]

The Guardian published a short piece today on the music different clubs listen to before games, McShane is in charge of the music at Hull: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/oct/26/pitch-perfect-footballers-pre-match-playlists

[Charlie Darwin]

McShane has been offered a new deal at Hull but won't stay if he doesn't have a chance of playing: http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/paul-mcshane-considering-hull-future-4705711

I don't blame him, Steve Bruce always picks his useless son along with the overrated and equally useless Davies.
