He should be in the Ireland team ahead of Andrews in the next qualifying campaign.

I don't understand what more andrews can do to get rid of his doubters after that wonderful midfield performance in paris.Quote:

Since when did one good performance make a good player?Quote:

As expected, Gibson starts for United this evening.
Remember - it's on TV3.
What are the odds that he'll score? ;)
he has hit a few wayward passes lads.
I think maybe a little tired.
In fairness it was a very hard pitch to pass on, everyone had wayward passes. A solid performence.Quote:

Ya i only saw the first 20 and hte last 30 but he hit a lot of misplaced passes for the last 30, in the first 20 he hit a ball towards the 18 yard line for scholes i think that went across when under pressure that was good.
he definitely hit a few shockers around the 75 - 85 min mark. tiring probably. hopefully he did well up to that.
Paul. I think your observation skills were a bit tired.
I would compare him to a young Frank Lampard more than a young Scholes.Scholes was always a much more complete midfielder than Lampard in my opinon. I always felt especially in his earlier days that if Lampard didnt get a goal(which he was excellent at doing) he didnt really add an awful lot more to the midfield area.Having said that he has developed into an excellent midfielder as he got older but at Gibsons age he was far from world class
Just watched the game. Very competent performance against the German Champions on their own patch. He hit team mates with mostly all of his passes and showed neat close control on a few occasions. Scholes influence on him is developing
Ah yes but its this type of consistency we need in Gibsons game;)Quote:

It's just a matter of him developing that sort of consistent play over the course of a full game, but I think this can come with matches.
How do you think he'd do in a more advanced position, similar to the position Gerrard plays for Liverpool?
Wasn't young Scholes a striker not a midfielder?
Yes. He was about Gibson's age or a little older when he moved back.Quote:

how is Ward doing geysir?
Not playing Stuey, Wolves made 10 changes from the weekend
6 pointer against burnely. could backfire against him though.
Burnley are in trouble though if they do lose. htey haven't been picking up points lately.
Ward is too important to risk in this game.
Gibson assist, from his pin pointed inswinger free kick, for ManU´s second goal.
Keogh out Injured for the next three months. If I remember correctly.
Foley is having an awful time with Evra and Obertan not getting much cover from the midfield everything is going down Wolves right, Uniteds left.
Vidic straight over to thank Gibson for his pin point corner.
Howls of shoot from the crowd every time he gets the ball. But Wolves are closing him down very fast.

gaiscioch are you sure about that? was he not playing saturday and did well?
The BBC say it's Keogh out for 3 months with an ankle injury.
Ward is just rested.
Edited the post made a slight error...:oQuote:

Gibson just booked for a late challenge
3-0 game over
Incidentley Kevin Foley captained Wolves tonight.
More like a late 2 footed studs up lunge which sent the Wolves player flying into the air. Must be that Derry streak.Quote:

He hit one shot so high, it reminded me of of Ali when he recited one of his poems about hitting his opponent so hard he went into space.
An Ali classic:Quote:

Liston keeps backing, but there's not enough room,
It's a matter of time till Clay lowers the boom.
Now Clay lands with a right,
What a beautiful swing, and the punch raises the Bear clean out of the ring.
Liston is still rising and the ref wears a frown,
For he can't start counting till Sonny goes down.
Now Liston is disappearing from view,
The crowd is going frantic,
But radar stations have picked him up,
Somewhere over the Atlantic.
Who would have thought when they came to the fight?
That they'd witness the launching of a human satellite.
Yes the crowd did not dream, when they put up the money,
That they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny."
The Sun gave him star man
terrible tackle in fairness. Played well.
I'm sure a man of the match against Wolves was a big F you to McCarthy, who couldn't get much out of him when he was there.
