We should take that Hungary cap off him for this :)
Interesting I suppose that player doesn't necessarily mean supporter.
id say he was taken out of context or wasn't being too serious. over the years duff is well know for travelling to away games under his own steam when injuredQuote:

He's turned up at u21 games as well
He only retired from internationals a couple of years ago so watching them might be a bittersweet experience for him. More bitter than sweet in recent years, I fancy.
To be fair to Duffer he did say he couldn't watch recent Ireland games because he was putting his kids to bed at the time!

Despite having another year on his contract, Duff retired today. Sad way to end such a glittering career, being stopped by injury and it's a pity he couldn't have played a full season here before hanging up the boots.
hopefully the balance of his contract will be paid to the charity that it was going to.
"Hey, diddle diddle, this guy did a dribble, all over the Cameroon;
The fans all laughed to see such fun and the Germans said: we play them soon.
At football he's really no bluffer, his name is _________".........and if you think you know the answer....
Good audio interview with the Duffer on ITunes with Graham Hunter. The big interview.
Well worth a listen.
Here's a direct link to the big interview with Duffer.Quote:

Really enjoyed his points in relation to the plight of under-age football in Ireland, Mourinho and his time at Newcastle. Very honest speaking about all three.
He stated that Mourinho is the only man for Manchester United.
That was an absolute treat.Quote:

Interesting because when Horgan scored I was thinking you'd never be allowed to score a goal like that in international football. I'm not sure who was worse, Bolger for his half arsed tackle on the half way line, the left centre back for not closing the shot down quick enough or McNulty for being beaten with a shot into the middle of his goals.
Yeah but its Canada...your original thought stands.
An in-depth interview of Damien Duff by Brian Kerr: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35584259.html
He discusses the importance of keeping himself occupied since retiring, having over-done things physically during his career, his frustration with youth teams playing long-ball tactics, former managers, dressing-room egos (particularly in relation to the treatment of his former manager Claudio Ranieri at Leicester this season) and, amusingly, having met John Delaney in the Wetherspoon's pub at Heathrow Airport in order to receive his one hundredth international cap over a shandy.
The full thing is well worth a read.Quote:
