I just hope it stops the Holland bashing on this site ;)Quote:

Not going into the RK booing issues, other booing issues again. But once again, people are not reading and understanding points being made in threads properly. :rolleyes:
(this is my views and you may not wish to agree its ok with me)
Mr Holland does not want to see Roy Keane playing magificantly for Ireland again, i know that he was shouting on the roof in Japan about the complaints of Mr Keane and was a "die hard " Mc Carthy "martyer" who wished only for the beer " I am a looser who drunks" culture to continue...
ANd besides we all know what a National Diaster MR Holland is on the football pitch... who on this boards wants to see Holland drag out his negative play in the centre of the pitch from now until 2006 ? He belongs in the division 1 with His idol Mc Carthy "the grafter"
Yet instead he's an established first teamer with a team in the top half of the Premiership unlike the 'fine' alternatives we have like Graham Kavanagh and Colin Healy. Yes, clearly you are talking nothing but copious amounts of good sense! :pQuote:

I remember when He hit the ball and some how it went into the goal:S... he ran around like a crazy chicken (also ) afterwards. he did not intended to score.Quote:

The camera showed him with the complete look of surprise, because he could not belive such a strange thing could happen with himi with those feet.
Bye Bye Holland, when we were stuck you filled a hole, but now we have no need for you and your negative blind vision. Im sure everyone will (slow) clap when you leave the dressing room for the final time:)
Well at least Matt is doing his part to facilitate the return of Roy, anyway you look at it Matt is going to be in the current squad longer than Roy Keane so he will get to wave goodbye a second time :D
If Kavanagh is so good why has he spent the best years of his career in Div 2?
Jesus some people are so ungrateful . All the matty has done for us and now put him on the scrapheap ! who also in our team is playing regularly in the centre mid in the premiership ? nobody except great aul roy when he is not injured ????
Matty is still a valuable member of our squad and is in far better shape to play against switz and france than the likes of miller !
Bout to say that meself...phew what a humdinger
Holland is captain of a top 6 team...that's the type of standard we need our players to be playing at.
I no Miller will be a great player for Ireland, remember that he will be playing in the top 3 team of the table. And Roy Keane is returned. With Duff and Reid, I think it looks like a great arrangement.
I don't think Holland is by any means the finest player ever to have worn an Irish shirt but he isn't as bad as some people are making him out to be. He's played consistantly well for Charlton this season. I can't remember him ever having a truly awful game for Ireland - which games are you thinking of?

Yes I don't think we should to to quick to slag of Irish players, I for oneQuote:

Its not good for team spirit to be constantly snipeing at players.
He's playing for a 'top' club like Charlton so lets count our blessings. ;)
well keane is by far not the player he was either. Holland has been one of the best players for charlton this year and was voted 2nd in player of the season from the charlton fans. He is a very important member of the squad and will be valuable against sides like france and switzerland where experience is the key as we saw in basel !
And your chosen replacement would be...? :confused:Quote:

tongue in cheek ! are you mad . Kilbane has been one of our best performers for a few years now and i admire his passion and commitment to the irish team. People want to ditch Holland who has been one of the players of the season in England for who ? Liam Miller who has played a few games for celtic and in my opinion been bought very rashly by manu
