I have a Brazillian friend who is football mad and could only name Robbie Keane and Damien Duff. After he went to the Ireland -vs- Brazil friendly in Croke Park last year (or was it the year before last?) he still couldn't name anyone other than Robbie and Duffer :P

You're talking crap mate. More people dismissed him him than praised him. The ones that didn't dismiss said that he's a fine footballer and could do well for himself at a decent level in England. Nobody said he was a world beater. I happen to think he is the best passer of a ball that could play for Ireland, and I've seen nothing to say thats wrong. I also said he wouldn't get in an ireland squad if everyone was fit. I'd stand by that comment too

The people who dismissed him without having seen him are being proved wrong.

Look I nearly didn't even mention your "main league" comment

"Fahey can pass a ball better than all of them except Andy Reid.

Delap had his chance,and did sfa,Andrews has done nothing to date at Blackburn(he could do with bulking up)Treacy does he even play senior football??

He will run the show,tomorrow against better players than,the ones you named"

How does one poster saying he's better than Andrews, Delap and Treacy equate "some people" saying he's Ireland's best player? Even that post indicated Andy Reid was a better player...

Which you haven't done. Because you can't. Because it didn't happen in the first place

He'll drop out of the first team before long, then when Birmingham get promoted he'll get offloaded on loan to some crappy SPL side where he'll continue to look awful before getting released on a free and rejoining pats.

Gone way off topic and I think the threads purpose has been served well enough so probably needs locking
