Was just wondering though, they leave the stitched wound open to the elements.
Would of thought they might put a bandage on it at least for the rest of the match.
To his credit Paul went on to finish the match.

Deserves credit for his battling qualities .
Fellani doesn't come out of that "tackle" looking good.
Fellani vicious sort imo, but having said that, I don't particularly dislike him as a player, he is one of the 'characters' of the game I suppose.
Sky didn't pick up on it but about 3 or 4 minutes before Fellani's assault, McShane had put in a strong tackle on him and words were exchanged between the two so Fellani's assault was pre-meditated. Nice to see the Hull crowd giving McShane a warm round of applause.Quote:

Like he said when he came on to twitter the night they beat Liverpool we go again well he will go again in the championship in August!
This is an Ireland message board, not a Liverpool one. Hull getting relegated is bad for our national team, I couldn't care less about whether he made a comment about some English club or other.
I wouldn't mind, the comment was completely harmless and I don't even think he was mocking Liverpool, despite the suspicious wording. Here it is in its full context.

Wow... kind of shocked at that. Quinn offered a new contract at least.
Long-serving McShane and Rosenior amongst those to depart....
The Club’s retained list for the 2015/16 season has been confirmed today and we can confirm the departures of out of contract players Liam Rosenior, Paul McShane, Yannick Sagbo, Maynor Figueroa, Steve Harper and Joe Dudgeon. Alex Bruce and Stephen Quinn have been offered new deals with the Tigers.
Commenting on the retained list, manager Steve Bruce told the Official Website: “Regrettably, following relegation, we have made the decision to release the majority of those players whose contracts have expired. We would like to place on record our thanks for the service they have given to the club, particularly our two longest serving players Liam Rosenior and Paul McShane. Both players have been outstanding for us and they leave with our very best wishes for their futures.
"The aim now is to retain as many of the remaining squad as possible and look to add some new faces this summer as we bid to compete at the top end of the Championship and bounce straight back into the top flight".
McShane’s departure brings to an end a seven-year association with the Tigers which began back in August 2008 when he arrived on loan from Sunderland. He was part of the side that made such a memorable start to the Club’s first ever season in top flight football and he made a permanent move to the KC Stadium in August 2009. The Irish international defender has made 136 appearances for the Tigers and scored five goals, including the one which effectively sealed promotion back to the Premier League against Cardiff in 2013.
Meanwhile Rosenior leaves having played 161 times for the Club. Signed as a free agent in October 2010, the full back soon became a popular figure and added some much needed experience to a young side adapting to life back in the Championship. He was a member of the squad that won promotion to the Premier League in 2013 and also played as the Tigers made history in the 2014 FA Cup Final and made their debut in the UEFA Europa League.
Veteran goalkeeper Harper departs having made 31 appearances for the Club while Dudgeon, Sagbo and Figueroa have racked up 127 appearances between them.
We wish all those who are leaving all the very best for the future.
Not shocked myself to be honest. I wonder would he consider a return to the LOI?
It will be interesting to see who comes in for him.
I think he will get offers from championship club and maybe even some premiership clubs.
I hope he gets a good offer.
I think he'll get Championship club, no problem. Unlikely to return to Ireland just yet.Quote:

I thought so but worth making the point for people who might not realise the relative difference between a standard Championship contract and the league here.
Looking at the 'Pool' defence. He wouldn't look out of place alongside Skrtel.Quote:

Hull fans seem pretty shockedQuote:

He'd have to play in the league in the first place to 'return' to it.Quote:

Problem with that is neither would I :pQuote:

Dammit.
Sign him up Brendan!

No surprise that Ipswich are one of the teams linked with McShane.
Says he was released from Hull by phone - doesn't seem to have any love at all for Steve Bruce. Also interesting he's doing his coaching badges:

Hard worker but sadly just doesn't have enough God given talent to be anything more than a bench warmer in the Premiership in my opinion. He'd do well to get on with Reading and nail down a starting place, they might get promoted this season.
If he was a bit bigger or a bit faster then maybe…… Certainly a bit bigger would be handy for a centre back.Quote:

Mascherano sort of plays that role for Barcelona. I suppose it just goes to show how much football has changed.
I saw a lot of McShane this season for Hull, especially towards the end of the season and I have to say I was immensely impressed with McShanes performances. I was one of the people on here who saw red at the very mention of him in an Irish shirt but he has won me over greatly over the last couple of seasons. He is all heart and can actually play a bit too. He is prone to lapses in concentration but definitely not to the same extent as his early years. I think he would do a good job at the back for a team like Leicester or Palace. I like him.
(it feels so weird that I have changed my opinion on him)
Looks like Reading is turning Irish again. Even with Pearce gone, they've got all of McShane, Stephen Kelly, Pierce Sweeney, Sean Long and Niall Keown in defence there.
Fellaini apologizes to Van Gaal for leaving gaping holes in McShane's leg.

Marouane has got to realize that he is meant to be a professional. He has got to realize that his well-being is not in his own hands when he is on the football pitch. He is putting his body on the line. There is an unwritten code that you don't pull stunts like that. He wouldn't be manly enough to do it on a night out in Manchester, so he shouldn't do it on the pitch either.
He would really want to wise up, get a bit of cop on and have some more respect for himself and his fellow professionals.
I expect nothing less from Van Gaal. One of the most classless people in the sport, as always. Ugly inside and out.
Scored the equaliser in a 3-1 win over West Brom as Reading reached the F.A. Cup quarter finals. I feared the worst when I heard there had been an altercation between a West Brom player and the supporters but it turned out to be Chris Brunt. He was hit by a coin thrown from his own fans as he approached them to give away his jersey.
