Looks like Dunne will be out for a while, Clark also out for a few weeks with knee ligament damage.Quote:

Hadn't heard that from Trap about Wilson. Thanks.
I have a funny feeling that Trap will call up McShane to replace Dunne rather than the likes of Duffy or Wilson! :shame:
Sadly, both Damien Delaney and Paul McShane are probably ahead of Duffy at the minute. Saying that, you just never know.
Shane Duffy has replaced Dunne in the senior squad for Czech friendly.
huge chance for duffy to sneak into the euros squad, do you think he will get game time?Quote:

Delighted for the chap.
mccleans ears will be *****ed for news on coleman after this announcement
Delighted for him. Not least because of what happened the last time he linked up with the senior squad.
ha ha the censor got the better of me thereQuote:

Better off without him"
Our friend Sam Gamble isn't content with being a poor journalist, so he's taken to creating outright lies over on OWC. Talk about defamation of character...
I'd love to hear his proof and these accounts that he was privy to.
There is always a reference to the millions of years they spent in their youth set up, as if they'd been nurtured from childhood. Duffy played 5 times for their U17s, 4 for their U19s and 3 times for their U21s as well as once for their B team, in the space of about 1 year an a half and all before the age of 18.
Aye, better off without any lad who moped and whinged a bit when they were teenagers Sam. Who says you need eleven players to win a game anyway.
It's nothing but pure OWC propaganda, to use geysir's terminology, I strongly doubt the veracity of his claims. I suppose they have to do something to make themselves feel better about losing a highly rated player to the nasty FAI.
One guy even opines that every time he's seen Duffy, he's been "out of his depth".
It could be worse, he could be moping and whinging about "hate speech" on an internet forum. :)Quote:

Mostly likely is true. After all weren't we all a bit stroppy that day, not just our Shane? We gave away a soft goal in Bulgaria after taking the lead. A lost opportunity and ultimately proved costly for our hopes of topping the group.Quote:

Video of Duffy singing 'Build Me Up Buttercup' by the Foundations, courtesy of James McClean, at his first senior squad meet-up.
http://yfrog.com/0qs8pz
the crowd have to sing that if he comes on tomorrow!
That's a brilliant idea, ha! Apparently McClean sang Wild Rover. Shane "Buttercup" Duffy and James "The Wild Rover" McClean.
Shane Duffy: singer, defender and gravity defier extraordinaire!
Shane Duffy interviewed by Dominic Kearney: http://www.derryjournal.com/sport/it...hane-1-3831133
My God, he spent an hour waiting for him and all got was three sentences?
Poor piece, really. Rambles on about topics that he hasn't got a clue about. Lots of "I think..." - he's uncertain of his facts and he's got Duffy's debut wrong (debut was against AEK Athens in Greece).
The piece is more about the author than it is about Shane Duffy. And this man is getting paid to write for the Journal?
I doubt he got paid.

No "home debut". He's got it wrong.
It is his 'full debut' though since he started the game and played 90 mins. Agree that the sentence could do with this qualifier though.Quote:

"'Duffy's a great lad and he's going to be a good centre-back' - Everton defender Phil Jagielka": http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3942/...d-centre-back#
Quote:
Everton defender Phil Jagielka has praised his team-mate Shane Duffy after the 20-year-old tied up a three-year deal with the Toffees.
England international Jagielka said that the Republic of Ireland under-21 international was among the team's best players when he made his Premier League debut in January against Tottenham Hostpur and that the new contract will help to 'settle him down'.
"Duffy's a great lad and he's going to be a good centre-back," Jagielka told evertonfc.com. "He obviously went out on loan and did really well and then we got a few injuries at the back and a few people weren't sure whether he'd be able to step up and handle it.
"But, fair play to him, I think he was up there amongst our best players in most of the games he played in."
Duffy has made just one appearance for the Goodison Park club this season, coming on as a substitute during the side's 5-1 Capital One Cup victory over Leyton Orient and Jagielka believes that he can continue to learn from the other defenders in the squad.
"It's nice for him to get a new contract and I think it will settle him down again. And the longer he stays around the squad hopefully learns from the rest of the defenders and the rest of the team.
"Hopefully that will turn him into a better player," concluded Jagielka.

Interview on Everton's website. Talks about being on the fringes of the first team and such.
Burnley interested in taking Duffy on loan according to The Sun.
Duffy went on loan to Burnley last season for a 28-day period with the option of an extension. He played the full 90 minutes in one game but they didn't extend the loan. Hopefully, he'll see more first-team action this time around if the loan deal goes through.
