Has this poor lad had to give up football for good?
I hope he made some money out of it before this.

He's welcome to line up for us at Astro Park!Quote:

Im sure Sunderland were only happy to see the back of him after his unnecessary comments about Keane considering his position.Quote:

A good point there beautifulrock. I was maybe a bit flippant there in retrospect. Best of luck to him for the future.Quote:

He should be wheeled in ( not meant as a pun ) before Irish qualifying matches ( especially away from home ) and let them know how much it means, and how quickly it can all change. Represeting your country should always be the biggest honour one can have/give.Quote:

From what I hear, he's made plenty and invested wisely. Good luck to him...Quote:

Roy Keane's recent disgusting comments about Clarke got me to thinking.... were we deprived of a decent LB - or even CB - option in Clarkey?
I remember him being highly rated and linked to Liverpool early in his Stoke days... Didn't do well at West Ham and only got the Sunderland move due to Quinn. Don't think he would have played much for us even had he been fit and well
That was before the recession. Is that still the same I wonder?Quote:
