At 182 posts, Yapster really has to be the world's most elaborate troll. O'Shea was one of Ireland's most important players during the last qualifying campaign, and a first choice in United's League & Champion's League winning teams. If you'd said he was a liability maybe 4 or 5 years ago most people would probably have let it pass, but he's one of the best (and most consistent) players Ireland has at the moment.
Very, very far from a liability.
Make all the difference as the result proves, he is not nervous just not reckless like some of the 'fancy dans' such as Rooney and Berbatov.Quote:

Did you just call Rooney a "fancy Dan"?
chill, I did say that o'Shea had his best best campaign just gone. He is a liability at the best of times,and as I said his passing is woeful most of the time. He is definatly a nervous player and will never be a player to take the game by the scruff of it's neck.His mistake against Italy at home was so pathetic to say the least. He missed a sitter against France in Paris also.Quote:

Yes Duff & Keane missed sitters in that game though Keane is prone to that away, but they are better players than O'Shea. I did say he had an ok campaign overall but the man is far from accomplished in his overall game. Again I say he is a nervous player.Quote:

I am not a troll and I have never admitted I was one either. Again if you don't like my posts then don't read them. I'm expressing an opinion on John O Shea that is all..Quote:

In light of Richard Dunne's miss at Wembley yesterday surely you will now agree he is a liabilty seeing as in your opinion scoring goals is one of the things a defender should be judged on ?Quote:

Good thing we have Paul McShane to replace the liability Dunne :)

Some good news on John O Shea, didnt expect to see him back this season at all
http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2010/...es_osheaj.html
Well done to O 'Shea, a dedicated professional. We seriously missed him when he went off injured in Paris. We can do with his recovery continuing as such a pace and without added complications.
a friend of my brothers says he was in a pub a few weeks back in Dublin talking to this gaah head who was complaining about professional footballers and how useless and rubbish they are and massaging his ego generally being an ass.. john o Shea happened to be standing across the bar and overheard this..
Josh walked up to the man said hello then pulled out a 50 euro note, burnt it in front of the man saying ''when you can afford to do this come back to me'' and walked off! if true josh is a legend :)
Thats funny. Thought none of them carried cash though?
I think it was Alan Shearer I first heard that story about roughly a decade ago. Could you really imagine a guy like O'Shea doing that??Quote:

Everything about it smacks urban myth.
We all know O'Shea wasn't raised by his Mammy to act like a gobs.
anyway hope he gats a few games in before the end of the season would be good to have JOSH fit for the friendlies to help bed in the new blood

Second time I've heard that story. First time was about 3 year ago, when it was set in a nightclub in Waterford and the guy who made the the comments was supposed to have been one of the Waterford Hurling team. Still just as unbelievable but the new lie is far less entertaining.
don't shoot the messenger :)
Also heard the Drogba one about two years ago... Peddled to me by a sap who was trying to convince everybody that it happened to his best mate so it MUST be true.
When a story starts with "A friend of my brothers" or "my mate's mate" you know it's not true.
I heard the same story about Charlie Nicholas when he played for Arsenal.
Any chance O'Shea plays on the weekend?
I read last week that Ferguson said something about O'Shea possibly making the squad for tomorrow's match.Quote:

I didn't think he played badly considering it was his first game back. Of course he's not going to be 100 per cent fit, but that is a very difficult scenario to step on the field into.Quote:
