I think it's a touch early for Duff to be in the running for Greatest of All Time yet IMO. He's done brilliant so far but he's still got half his career ahead of him.
Johnny Giles or Paul MGrath : :)Quote:

McGrath should definitely be in that, hard to choose between him Brady or Giles really but not even having Mcgrath in the top three is a joke.
McGrath is in the poll.Quote:

Has anyone voted for Paul Butler.
He made the most cooolest debut i've ever seen.
Jackie Carey, John Giles, McGrath and Brady are streets ahead of the rest!
The problem with such polls is that most people have only seen very
recent players play a lot, you don't have to go very far back in time
to when basically you had MOTD (In the UK anyway) and thats your
lot.
Nowadays you get to see a lot more football on TV either at home
or down the pub if you don't have sky.
Might be different in Ireland but I have seen virtually nothing of some
of the older (or not so old) players listed.
Works both ways though as you get to see players not so good games
whereas in highlights of older players they will generally be shown at their
best.
However in terms of winning things surely Roy Keane should come
out on top? He also broke the English transfer record transfer fee.
Those kind of things are not subjective.
Also why was Ian Harte not on the list?
Or Kevin Kilbane for that matter?
Then why are they not on the list?Quote:

Probably not in my opinon.
Mind you, Man U seem to be doing OK without him ;)
How anyone can argue with Terry Phelan's contribution to the Irish set up is beyond me. Same goes for Mick Milligan, Liam O' Brien, Alan Kernaghan, Liam Daish, Eddie McGoldrick, Keith Branagan, Curtis Fleming, Alan Moore, Owen Coyle, Paul Butler and all the other realtai (Irish galacticos) we have had down through the years. Paul McGrath, Roy Keane, Chippy Brady ******. Forget it.
These men are the true soldiers of destiny.
Terence and your band of merry men, I salute you.
Paul Mc Grath for me, He played in 3 major championships, in midfield and defence. He was player of the tournament in 1990, and had an absolute cracker of a game against Italy when playing with a broken arm I think. He was an absolute legend for Ireland and I would vote him the best player that I have seen play for Ireland.
Breen without a shadow of a doubt...anyone see his diving save against rotheram I think it was...pure class..only got a yellow cos the opposing striker was no where near the ball or the goal...still nothin gets past him. the underdogs underdog and irelands greatest
