Who is he referring to then?
It's not an explicit reference, these were your terms of description, your phrase, and it's inaccurate.Quote:

Yeah. You're right Charlie. He was probably referring to Kathy Ireland. How would anyone come to the conclusion that Keith was talking about Stephen?Quote:

Out of favour Anthony Pilkington is out of favour at Norwich.
Something something Richard Keogh.
Excommunicated would do.Quote:

SI's reticence? Give over.Quote:

The door has been opened on numerous occasions for him since the nastiness in SEPTEMBER 2007 and he has yet to do the decent thing and either retire or get called up. It has gone on far too long and I wish that MON would kill this stone dead once on for all.
The most recent example of this was during this international window.
SI is an asshat. (http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/irish...reland-return/)
Your criticism of Keith Andrews here is way out of order.
How you can champion SI and berate Robbie for "scoring against minnows" is actually mental. Mypost kinda mental.
Ah yes, Anthony Pilkington. I couldn't remember the player earlier when I made my initial post when I was trying to engage in some smart assery.Quote:

Captain material Andrews wanted by Huddersfield; Scannell transfer-listed by Huddersfield.
Our Keef supposedly on the way to Watford on a season long loan. I think they have a very good chance of finishing above Bolton this season!

His signing and subsequent exile from Bolton is bizarre. I can only assume they signed him drunk on parachute payments and now they need to get him off the wage bill as they're still, I think, losing something like £30m a year. He should really have learned his lesson from Blackburn and just stayed away from any team in Greater Manchester. He has much more luck in the south.
loaned to Watford for the season: http://www.watfordfc.com/news/articl...d-1777492.aspx
hmm, ip, dip, donkey tail there I go. Waheey!!!Quote:

Don't think so. Too many younger guys playing at a higher level. I suppose Paul Green's inclusion could generate a debate but even he's a good couple of years younger at least.
If I was him, I'd definitely be pi$$ed off not getting near the squad after being Irish player of the tournament in 2012. i think he deserves his place in the squad myself ahead of Paul Green anyway. I think he can do the same job as Whelan and offer more of a goal threat
Who were those players? I couldn't see.Quote:

This was his first start following a 2-month injury. He's hardly been able to play his way in.Quote:

The no 5 is Andrews who flicks the ball into he area, the no 20 Vydra applies the 'classy' finishQuote:

That is certainly a reasonable view, he is top of the Championship with Watford, he has only playedQuote:

by my estimation and that flick through for the goal, well we could do with a bit of that couldn't we?
He is pretty decent on the defensive side and gets the odd goal too.
Well they are currently 22 place above Bolton so your thinking has proved pretty accurate so far!!Quote:

As far as football decisions go the one to loan him out because "he has no future at the Reebok Stadium." is about as bad as
it gets. However in a way they were right, Andrews is way too good for League One whcih is where Bolton are currently
headed. Watford seem to be headed in the other direction ie into he Premiership.
He should be making the 36 man squad.
It seems he is nowhere near the manager's thoughts
Andrews disappointed by Watford treatment.

Jokanovic insecure about Andrews influence behind the scenes it would seem.
Keith Andrews is an unwanted man: http://balls.ie/football/keith-andre...ootball-limbo/

It is one of those jobs where you really really need to want it.
He was on Off the Ball the other day saying he has his coaching badges but he's not sure about management yet. He says he's enjoying the media work for nowQuote:
