Why do I get the feeling this fella is going to be out of the game in three or four years, recovering from a drug problem or worse? Can you imagine if he was playing for Sunderland and he pulled down his shorts? Roy Keane would give him a right boot up the arse and he'd be training with the reserves for a year.
have to say, any respect i had for the chap has gone. he was upset over being teased about his ridiculous "miracle grow hair transplants" yet he takes down his shorts in front of 20 oddd thousand (or whatever City are pulling in these days). The club should get an immediate refund on any money that they have invested in his 'therapy" and actually use the money for someone that wants to be helped. This guy is proving himself to be an idiot - and I dont want to hear the excuse about his age. He does not deserve to share an international stage with the likes of Richie Dunne and Shay Given - who are real pros.
Spot on Billy Ireland is I think going well off the rails :mad:
what a prat........as he no longer wants to play for us, and we definitely do not need assistance in bringing our game to new depths.....can we not insist he changes his name by deed pol to " Stephen ENGLAND"?;)
Not defending Ireland, but do you remember what Richard Dunne was like at 21? He made Ireland look like a model pro!Quote:

brillinat goal and a very good player indeed , i look forward to the day our new manager figures out how to get him and andy reid playing together in the green, he can pull down his shorts for every goal for all i care.
Amen to that , I have a feeling under Eriksson's guidance he could turn out to be a very fine playerQuote:

if the manager sees fit to pick him then he deserves the stage , end of.
Yeah imagine a player of that quality playing for a team that have struggled with relegation and lost something like 7 matches this season and have only kept one clean sheet. Instead he is playing for a top class manager and a team that is over performing and is 3rd in the league ahhh but sure Keano would give him a kick up the arse, what a manager.Quote:

Thanks be to god he was not wearing the pink thong from his bebo site.
Lovely goal by Ireland but God the Man City fans are fickle. Didn't get behind the team at all and groaned every time they witnessed a misplaced pass. They can't keep beating teams with ease and should be delighted that they are in such a lofty position. I thought Sunderland played well again last night but lack that cutting edge that gets points on the road. I like that they always try and play football no matter the opposition. The Irish Sunderland contingent were solid on the whole without being spectacular, Miller got into the game more as the second half wore on and Stokes had a great opportunity with a header that just whizzed past the post. Dunne was outstanding (again), him or Nosworthy must have won MOM.
Keane and Eriksson spent roughly the same amount in the summer – around £36m. One bought little-known foreign players on video evidence, Keane trusted in footballers he knew, who were usually young, English-speaking and Championship players.

Anyway, it appears Ireland was just doing a Superman impression:

Pathetic
This guy's behaviour in the Premiership is the biggest embarassment to Ireland since Roy Keane tried to break a professional footballer's leg saying "take that you cnut!"Quote:

And while you're at it read the rules. This is the last post on this subject in this thread!
it beggars belief the way this bloke carrys on. I cant remember watching a more gifted passing Irish midfielder since John Sheridan. But what the f**k is his problem-like dropping your pants for no reason-yeah real funny.
And how is our new manager going to resolve this problem? We need Ireland-he's developing into a seriously excellent player but has a rabbit upstairs working the feckin controls:rolleyes:
I can't figure Stephen Ireland out. For a guy who appears to be very sensitive to comments about his new hair he certainly likes to provide good material. On the other hand he may just have the greatest sense of humour....or maybe not...
:eek: :confused:
he is some giimp that Ireland fella
bahahaa! this is wonderful, ireland is my new favorite player. he's clearly some kind of insane genius. what a goal and what a celebration. all youse that were taking the michael out of his new locks are getting awwwwwfullllly morally huffy about his underpants. joke's on you lot now i'm afraid.
but how does he top this one!?
he's not man enough to come to dublin to play for his country after making a liar out of himself and making idiots out of people that tried to help him. However at man City he thinks he's fookin superman?. Sorry not buying it. Give me Richie Dunne with a pint and a smoke any day. When young Superman is man enough to come and play for Ireland again ,then I'll judge him on his attitude and his performance in the green shirt. I personally would be ashamed if he pulled such a stunt after scoring for his country. These footballers cry about how their jobs are just like everyone else's - and they only have a short time span to make $$ etc, etc. Well if they want to be treated like everyone else, dont drop your fookin shorts in 'the workplace'. For Sven to then come out and say that he hopes the FA dont look into the matter just confirms that the Circus is being run by the freak. Boot in the hole would'nt do him any harm. (stephen ireland that is, not Sven)
Actually, it appears he was doing a Kevin Kilbane impression.Quote:

I wish I had the GAA over here, I have to settle for Ultimate fighting (not quite as rough as the Wicklow County Championship, but a little more regulated). That just about satisfies my manly cravings. Have to agree with you though, I am more old fashioned. This girly dropping your shorts pose thing doesnt do it. Its almost 'beckham" like behavior.Quote:
