Listen. Interpret what i said ANY way u want to...
Look, TOWK, I'm nearly at a loss as to how to respond to that. You've a brass neck. You're not stupid so grow up and stop pretending to be. Why intentionally misinterpret what I've said? The loaded implication above is just so utterly warped. I'm not sure how you can think that I want you to stop posting. I suggested that if you have a problem with people scrutinising your opinions, it might be advisable for you to stop putting your opinions forward for discussion on a semi-public forum. I'm not telling you to stop posting or because I'd rather you didn't. Post all you want - you're more than welcome - but don't cry about it when someone pulls you up on the more brash and hysterical stuff you so often come out with. Express your opinions, certainly, but embrace debate and be prepared to defend your assertions too. Don't cry off and play the victim because you think people are being too hard on you. You express contentious opinions; it's only natural they'll provoke a reaction and requests for further clarification and substantiation. If you can't take the heat, then you're in the wrong place.Quote:

As I made very clear, I was referring specifically to your accusation that he was of low work-rate.Quote:
Again, stop overanalysing what I say. I said he was nonchalant. Someone said the same thing in the USA game thread and you didn't pull them up on it. You are making out that I insulted the player when I complimented him and offered constructive criticism that he could work a little harder if he wants to make the step up to PL & Intl. level. Again, I queried if this was because he was still working his way back to full fitness.
I thought you were referring to him generally rather than in that game specifically because of your initial phrasing. I couldn't be bothered pointing out the subtle shift in your latter phrasing from what you were originally asserting, but, if you weren't offering an opinion on him generally as a player, fair enough, I won't harp on.
Anyway, I'll analyse what I want. Does it irritate you that our opinions are scrutinised or something?
I don't know what this comment is in response to exactly. It's difficult to know when you don't refer back to whatever it is in my own post you're responding to.Quote:
It's common enough parlance, Danny. Should I ask my Granny to start going to football trials because people say their Granny is better at defending than Stephen Ward?
But not at a total loss... .. unfortunately :)Quote:

Danny, life is fleeting. It can end any moment. Life is too short to get worked up about stuff like this.
I made a comment about David McGoldrick being nonchalant in a game. I also praised him. I also said he could be working his way to full fitness. You brought up Robbie Keane for no logical reason at all (other than to provoke me?). You constantly deride me and question my motivations for posting. I have a right to post and have my opinions be respected, as I respect yours.
Now please inbox me if you want to continue arguing about whether I was calling McGoldrick lazy (I wasn't).
Scored the third in Ipswich's 3-0 win over Charlton, with Daryl Murphy getting the second.

McGoldrick hit bar before Murphy gets second I think.
Although the BBC says
That is not right as the corner was not header straight in.Quote:
Daryl Murphy headed home David McGoldrick's corner from close range to double Ipswich's lead after the break.
Ipswich are really losing steam at present. Wolves, Norwich and Watford are really gaining momentum lately. I fear for Ipswich and Derby's ability to hold on to their places in the playoff positions.
McGoldrick hasn't featured in a month due to injury problems and before that he was struggling for form. Noel Hunt's injury, too, has knocked the wind from their sails. I think their lack of squad depth and dependence on Murphy is hurting them a bit now.

An interesting article about McGoldrick.
A bit disappointing that some of the new/fringe players who starred in that USA game haven't pushed on due to form and injury problems (Christie, McGoldrick, Brady); McClean too looks destined for League One football next season unless he gets a move - hopefully his teams position doesn't knock his confidence.
Hopefully Gibson can remain fit to compensate for this.
Derby's automatic chances have taken a blow but there's no way they'll fall out of top six. I think themselves and Norwich will probably get the two automatics as there are plenty of slips in the likes of Middlesbrough and Bournemouth. Watford are looking pretty threatening alright though.
That's true about the USA hopefuls but only Brady is a significant loss really (so far).
Finally back from injury and makes the bench v Norwich.
First of the new season for McGoldrick - http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33857650 - good to have another striker starting to score goals again after an injury-hit gap

KD: After your loan spell at Ipswich from Coventry, it was made permanent and you were on fire. If you hadn’t got injured towards the end of that first season I think Ipswich would have made the play-offs. I know all about injuries and you have suffered your fair share. I was told that when your hamstring went this season, you were close to tears, which I can understand. How do you cope with injuries because they have been a set-back, and do you feel they have robbed you of playing in the Premier League so far?
Guess he won't be getting signed by a Premier League team.
I'd love to know what Keane said after the Scotland match that they all respected so much.
Yeah that'd be interesting. It would have been difficult to find positives that night, a few home truths maybe, but in an encouraging way. Good interview actually, Dyer's questions were slightly more interesting than a lot of journalist's you read.
Big Didz is linked with Sheffield Wednesday, FC Twente and CD Lugo of the Spanish second tier.

Bit mad. They turned down upwards of £5 million from Leicester this time last year - why would a Segunda Division side be in for him?
Out until Christmas.
Goal and assist for McGoldrick after coming off the bench.
Ipswich winning 3-2 away to Wigan.
It's been a little while since his third, but David McGoldrick got his fourth goal of the season tonight. I have noted that previously we will likely have to replace three strikers before next year's Euro qualifiers as Walters, Murphy and Doyle will all be turning 35 by then. McGoldrick along with Adam Rooney and perhaps Cillian Sheridan are currently our only confirmed options who are playing near at a level appropriate to take over then (barring Madden or O'Brien moving up a division, some successful recruiting, or the likes of Maguire, Grego-Cox or McDonagh making a big breakthrough). But given the comments about a major drop-off in performance by Walters and Doyle, and with Murphy and Long not being exactly prolific, should we be thinking of making more immediate changes? Should McGoldrick, Rooney and/or Sheridan be given game time against Mexico and even Uruguay to prepare them for the later qualifiers? I know they may not be the most inspiring options but they are playing regularly and capable of finding the target and McGoldrick did show well against the USA a couple of years back, setting up two goals.
Surely one of the dual eligible lads will be hauled aboard soon, or will decide to help himself to an international career, I mean after all it only requires being a squad member at a reasonable level, the ability to finish one chance in five or that way, and a working knowledge of the offside rule to walk onto a 50 cap career as things stand, with a top twenty five ranked nation presently. Remarkable.Quote:
