Andy O'Brien

Andy O Brien has retired, Givens just said it on SSN.


What a joke.

:eek:

That is all.

I thought I misread it on SSN. What an absolute clown. 28 and he gives up? Cheers for Cyprus because that is what you will be remembered for. The football world has gone truly mad.

Thank Christ. He's ****e!!! Give Darren O'Dea a chance.

I'm guessing there is some bitterness there after being exiled by Staunton. Still, no excuse, really...

Fair enough. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my own resignation from the Irish football team. So would my 8 year old niece, and so would my cat.

All 4 of us will be sorely missed.

Now, now, you contribute far too much to the FAI football shop to retire ! :D

But ... but McShane is so bad... We officially have one centre-half

Bleedin clown. Well I guess it feels better to retire than just be exiled. He's the man! P!ss off:ball:

Oi! P off! :D

Jaysus, Givens is going to be furious that the O Brien retirement story was leaked. Sure that's why he called tonight's press conference....:rolleyes:

Andy O'Brien was a decent guy who did his best for Ireland. Not the greatest ever, but a solid guy. Ok, had a nightmare against Cyprus, but so did lots of others.

Thanks Andy - you gave it a lot

He is the one who told the Reporters which I think he should not have done considering he only got the news from a message and not from the player directly



And come on the guy is 28 so less of the thanks Andy. He is ****ing 28, I still cant get over that there are guys younger than me retiring from international football. 28 still cant get over it.

Retiring at 28 he should be ashamed to call himself an Irishman. What is wrong with these players. Never in the history have they had it so easy, pr!cks.

28 is terribly early. At least Steve Finnan is 32 next month. O'Brien has been playing well for Bolton too.

Is this official???

I can find no news story covering it. He is in the squad for Brazil isn't he?? Will he play against Brazil?? wtf is going on??

Has there been an arguement??

If Givens stays manager a bit longer we will have a real chance of winning the world 5-a-side championships.

That will give Givens a chance to call in one of his favourites such as Bruce, instead of the more talented St Ledger or O'Dea.

Don Givens said it as he was interviewed on the site of the pitch after training today

This is bullsh!t at 28! Where is his pride in the jersey?

What happened to the days when a international footballer didn't retire, they just didn't get the call.
