Sean St. Ledger

I have to commend the Doc on his loyalty. I'd imagine that he could withstand a couple of years in the cages of Guantanamo and not retract one word of his absolute devotion to St Ledger.

The doc's manic devotion aside, St. Ledger is an important player for us, not good news if he's out.
Ranking of Irish centre-backs (on national team performances only) in the last ten years;

1. Richard Dunne
2. Kenny Cunningham
3. Sean St. Ledger
4. Andy O'Brien
5. John O'Shea (would probably be two places higher if he had more games at CB)
6. Gary Breen
7. Darren O'Dea
8. Paul McShane

Fair?

Apparently the lads call him Moscow Flyer

Doc, if St Ledger isn't actually fit but says that he is, that is foolish and potentially detrimental to Ireland's chances.

If such did transpire, I do not want him in the team. As much as he's been decent for Ireland, he's not that good that we should play him half fit.

That list shows how thin we've been in terms of quality centre backs over the last decade.

Sledge out of Friday's game

Alex Bruce might have been of immediate value to us after all! ;)

Poor sod is probably checking his phone every 20 minutes on the off chance.

Dreams die hard.

Apparently he has an "injury"...

Incidentally, I think that his injury allowed Hollywood Paul McShane to get a game.

SSL out for longer, looks like we could be without our best 2 CBs Dunne and St Ledger for a while.👎

Already mentioned, but just thought Doc would like to read about himself!

Heard the Saint played 90 mins in the Ressies for Leicester today, maybe he will get some game time in the cup games.

on the bench last night, Leicester lost 2-1 to Charlton
