Second he plays all his games at centre half bar the few times he has played right back for Clare. The are two very different positions and demand different things.
No disrespect but what's the point to your post..as said above he can play both positions and IMO he's a great centre back.but an exceptional right back..Quote:

Was he playing right back or centre back for OT last year?
Ha. I played with the lad plenty and every game he was at centre half. Sure good players can play anywhere!Quote:

If the Bridge could find another centre half I think he would make an excellent central midfielder.
Good point but I'd worry about him in the centre as he isn't vocal enough. . Very quiet lad.. but no doubt has the ability to play there ..Quote:

It's a disgrace the lad isn't shortlisted for the FIFA Ballon d'Or.Quote:

Darren might be a pretty good defender but he must be an extremely sensitive soul if the manager can't have a word after he conceded what was a fairly sloppy penalty , which cost Clare the win.
Murphy wasn't enjoying playing for the manager, its that simple, he plays with the bridge because he likes playing soccer with his friends and enjoy his football, plenty teams knocking on his door offering him money to play and he said no, status isn't a priority for him, few of ye should get off his back on here.
Fair enough he is dedicated to the bridge, but clearly doesn't want to better himself in football. He could be playing with alot better than what he is, not getting "on his back" as you say, but alot of lads would give their right arm to have the quality and opportunities that he has had.Quote:

most teams wouldnt be able to field 11 players if they all took the hump to a manager bollicking them at some stage.
probably The best full back clare has ever produced????? thats some statement to make shuffleruns you must have been round clare soccer for a long time to make a statement like that.
Where did I say that???Quote:

Not too long really know the clubs that's all!
Predictions:
Newmarket Celtic A 1 v 2 Avenue Utd A (11am)
Bridge Celtic 1 v 2 Tulla Utd A (2pm)
Ennis Town 0 v 2 Bridge Utd A (11am)
Lifford 0 v 4 Shannon Olympic A (2pm)
It was me that made that statement.. and ya I've been watching junior football over 30 years..and can't think of a full back as good as him.. its just my opinion..Quote:
