The legend has struck again.
he's on fire in fairness. Will be a nice swansong season for him.
Wavey Davey is back!!! Worm, I've been with you all the way!!
Call him up Trap.
He really is Ireland's Number One Striker
Top scoring Irish striker in top two divisions!!!! Trap get your bleedin' finger out!
He's defiitely more worthy of inclusion than Andy Keogh
4 in 5!!!!!!!!!!
video?
Wonderful assist by Connolly for Southampton's first today, one two with Lambert who finished it but Connolly was surrounded by three guys still managed to find him. :cool:
He's back! Steps off the bench to make it 3-0 to Saints
Finally got around to watching McCarthy's Park (thanks EastTerracer) and saw this which I was sure you would all enjoy

twas indeed! any link for his latest goal?
If this bloke ever gets called up again, the Worm will need to be acknowledged. Through thick and thin he has remained loyal to young David!
Why was he on the bench in the first place? Doing well mind you for a 34 year old but his international days are behind him unless we have a game against Liechtenstein who are his bunnies.Quote:

I hold a greater grudge against the Austrian referee that night, who gave what was a blatant Irish throw in to the Belgians. Whilst the Irish remonstrated, the Belgians took the throw quickly and caught us cold, leading to the Luc Nilis goal that ended our hopes of a third world cup in a row.Quote:

A fallout with David Villa in camp nou and Connolly is excluded "injured" a couple of weeks before the transfer window opens? Hardly all a coincidence!
Goal Connolly!!!! Very much deserved, whipped cross comes in from the right, takes a touch off a Soton player in the box, Connolly quickest to react as he pounces and provides the finish from 6 yards out. 2-0.
Also had a large hand in the first goal, nice run down the right from Martin(?)*** pulls its back, finds Connolly who smashes is goalwards , saved by the keeper's foot (really probably should've scored), Guly pounces on the rebound to put Southampton 1-0
Oh yes, and a funny little bit about the game that I think sums up Connolly's career. Forest fans have started booing Connolly whenever he touches it (before his goal). You may be thinking, oh he played for Notts County? No. He wound them up? No. His only crime was getting clattered in the side of the head with a flying elbow from Luke Chambers who was then red carded...Connolly didn't even pull a Ronaldo or anything.
Every time he scores, I imagine worm spontaneously screaming "Daaaaayyyyvvviiiiiiiidddddd Ccconnnnooollllllyyyyy" darts announcer style, wherever he happens to be.
i came across a stream of a epl match that had darts commentater Sid Waddell comentating on it the other day, he talks absoloute garbage, very funny though.
"phil the power taylor, he could hit a treble 20 on horseback with a 10 foot bow and arrow"
Finally completed his long protracted move to Barca today.

Am disappointed none of you low-lifes congratulated Connolly on promotion. Unfortunately it could be bittersweet, he's had another injury plagued season (has been out since February but nearly made it back for the last match today) which allowed Sharp to take his spot, plus his contract is up so not sure what the future holds. Played a big part through the first month or two with his goals until Lambert hit form.
If he's lucky, a League 1 team might take a chance on him for next season.
Worm, you're truly relentless, and for that I must applaud you. ;)Quote:

worm must be gutted, probably had a tenner on him to be the top scorer in the Premiership next season
Connolly has always had the approach of consummate professional. Unfortunately he was afflicted with so many injuries at Southampton. Nice to read the appreciation from the fans. Hard to credit that he's 35 years old now.
You can never rule out a move to Man Utd.Quote:

I wouldn't wish that on him, plus he's shown that he's still capable of playing at a higher level if he can stay fit. I'm sure there will be some takers in the Championship.Quote:

Just when you thought things couldn't get much worse for the Boys in Green, after months of fearing the worst, I received some devastating news today. David Connolly has officially retired :(
Sorry for your loss
Worry not Worm, David's clearly spotted a soon-to-be-vacant managerial post to kick start his post-playing career...
RIP David Connolly
We'll always have he's hat-trick against Liechtenstein...
Always liked Connolly. He was always up against it with a series of slights that meant he wasn't going to be remembered well. The red card against Belgium, the bust up with Givens (always found it hard that so many took givens side...)but the real killer for him was going to Feyenoord. Stopped his career in his tracks.
