Irish footballers are fast turning me off this sport.
****.
yes, it has to start to turn ye off and give up tryign to defend it to those who no longer have an interest.
He should be more interested in getting a recall to the Palace starting XI
Trappatoni not interested in Lee recall either.Quote:

He doesn't deserve a call up so no point even chatting about him.
I don't think he's damn near an 8th cap.
And I won't be losing sleep over his comments there either.
Bare in mind this is being reported in a newspaper so I wouldnt stake my mortgage on the accuracy but if it is true ......Jesus wept, do some people automatically become ******* when they become footballers or do they have to work at it ?
Seems like he has a few issues with not making the team in the past........Ah well no great loss, cant say i remember anything in particular from his ten caps. Plenty superior options available. Still hate to see this sort of attitude from an Irish lad however.
does anyone reckon its because he is from galway? THere is a funny thing about "footballers" from galway and Mayo - whatever the code. Maybe just people from galway and Mayo actually :exclamation:

This guy is a uncle Tom ! i remember he threated us to play with the U.S lol what a clown ...News flash Lee no one gives a damn about you !
Just the one, for Ipswich, in the League Cup in August. Hasn't scored for Palace since he moved there, and he's only started once for themQuote:

He's not really. He lived down the road from me and was a year ahead of me in primary school. Think he came to Dublin aged three or something. SO he's as much from Galway as I am from Kerry.Quote:

Obviously can't defend comments like these, and given his lack of first team football you've got to wonder why he'd even be talking about internationals.
Given Trap's record of selecting players not playing first team football, he was due for a call up any day now!
There goes his chance to play Italy next year.

He will be shaving his head next.
"Irish has-been makes futile attempt to gain media exposure to bolster flagging career".
Why even waste precious bandwidth talking about this guy? As others have said, I can't seriously recall a single moment of Alan Lee, with the ball, playing for Ireland.
At the risk of sounding like I'm defending his comments, which I'm not, he may have just been trying to show Palace that he was 100% focused on their team. I mean this was in the Croydon Times or whatever so he probably thought it would be kept local.
I hope that was the case, because if it's not, then he's just a cyunt.
im remebering sitting in the east upper stands and i think he came on as a sub and did ok, think he did somethign around the 82nd minute to win a corner after some nice play on the wing. Why that sticks out i do not know!
He set up the winner against Czech Rep in a 3-2 win. A Michael Robinson-against-Russia-like run down the right, defender slipped and I think Robbie side footed home a late winner. I also saw him at The Valley in the Unity Cup games.
he couldnt care less about playing for ireland and irish fans couldnt care less about his feelings on playing for ireland..so everybody is happy
not good enough..so no loss
For the record, Alan Lee has been out for the past two and a half months due to a hamstring injury.
This Geezer is a useless toxic pork export we don't want to recall.

fixed your title.
What a fool.
As has already been said he "threaten" to declare for the States if he didn't get a call-up years ago. Playing for your country isn't about self-promotion or self-gain. Probably was hoping to get talked about in the papers but that hasn't happened :D
Lads, have ye nothing else to do. You've jumped to a series of conclusions based on a "quote" in a local rag. Alan Lee is a 30 year old professional, struggling to get back from injury at a club which is struggling to make the play off places. He should concentrate on getting fit and playing at that level before anyone would even ask whether he "wants" to play for his country again. He hasn't been asked as far as I know?
Howse things Alan, fancy meeting up for a pint down in the nixer in croydon? Or the red lion in bermondsey?!
No one will ask ye if ye want to play for your country dont worry.
Is this an error and should readQuote:
