Favourite Irish Player

Its a close one between Given and Doyler but I have to go for Doyle. I admire Robbie Keane but Doyle I can relate to as I seen him many times for City up close

I like him too as a player. I just wished he'd play. I basically watch Manchester City to watch Ireland

Stephen Gerrard!

he actually could have been allowed to play for Ireland.

ah well, we have McCarthy, and Rafa said he was better for his age than Gerrard was! And he beat Reina from 30 yards in a one-touch training session

Between Keane, Kilbane and Given: all three have been wonderful ambassadors for Irish football in their own unique ways.

For me, Kilbane will always be a favourite because of his dedication and passion.

However, Given, Dunne, Duff and Keane all fall into the same category - I don't think you will find prouder Irishmen and they are all top quality footballers as well (and we don't have too many of those).

I love watching Andy Reid play, and am even more a fan because I admire how he is still seemingly loyal to Ireland even though he's been treated like muck by Trap and Stan.

Also, he is handling the current situation with such professionalism, refusing to criticise the mangement team.

So Reid for me, followed by Shay.

What record is that then? "When the Saint goes marching in" perhaps?

I'm entitled to my opinion, just because I don't buy into all this Trapp rubbish, doesn't mean I can't give my viewpoint on him and some of the players he picks.

you give your viewpoint on two players he does pick, and one he doesn't

You're entitled to it that's quite true , But to use every single post of yours to get this opinion across is grating ,especially when you choose to get these points across in "Favourite Irish Player" thread. I wouldn't have minded so much if you'd said St Ledger but your pathetic name calling of McShane and Bruce is unwarranted in this thread. I'm sure everyone on this site knows your feelings by now

Favouritist:

Given, Dunne, Robbie Keane, Andy Reid, Duff, Doyle................

and Stephen Hunt is moving in there just because he is cracked as a bottle and plays with reckless abandonment.

Robbie Keane probably.

Was impressed with Folan the other night and think he could work very well up front with Keane.

Doc, youre doing more damage for St. Ledger's case than good at this stage (and I am someone who would like to see him given a chance)

Favourite Current: Kilbane, Keane
Favourite Past: McGrath (supreme), Galvin, Aldridge, Roy Keane

No favourites. Once the Irish jersey is worn, I support them all. Some are better than others but all give 100%. I don't mock an Irish player because he is not that gifted. What should such a player do? Do a Stephen Ireland and give 2 fingers to the country or continue to turn out when requested by the manager and try his best?

agreed owlsfan, once the jersey is put on they all get equal support provided they give 100%, you can ask for no more.

BUT.......KILBANE for me is a legend mate

I've the utmost respect for Kilbane. Top class guy and an example of how to be a professional footballer and a dignified, modest and polite person.

Stephen Hunt and Darron Gibson.

Hunt for how hard he works in an ireland shirt, and Gibson for how hard he fought to get wearing an Ireland shirt

Have to say mine are probably Dunne and Hunt, Dunne for great defending and Hunt because of his direct approach.

Perhaps the thread name should be changed to "fav irish player that evreyone else agrees with ".

Edit: Current:Given Dunne, S. Reid, A. Reid Past: McGrath, Irwin (never really gets the praise he deserves),

Well there is loads that people are posting and different opinions but the doc only ever posts on this forum for 1 of two reasons, One to say how good St. Ledger is, which is fair enough but the other is too slag off two other players, that is it no other contribution. The thread is about fave player and he uses it to slag off 2 players. So your point does not make sense what so ever.

By the way my fave current player is either Given or Keane.

Current Squad: Robbie Keane
Outside: Stephen Ireland- most gifted player to come out of the country since Robbie and Duffer, like him or not we need him.

Doyle(obvious reasons) and Keane for just being a legend

We would badly miss Keane, Dunne & Shay.

And for sheer talent & future legend status McGeady.

Thats fair!

Perhaps I've gone a little over the top, point taken.

Spoke with St Ledger after a PNE game recently, he said he has resigned himself to having to wait until a new manager comes in, and hopefully if he keeps doing well he may get a chance then.

Also said he'd rather wait than take up NI's offer
