Your right Alex Bruce had a poor game, but if you’re going to throw personal abuse from behind your computer screen then expect it back from others.
I only saw the second half, but I thought Bruce looked fairly solid in it.
He has a point though Alex Bruce is dire, hopefully we shall never see him in a competitive International. The Paul Butler of his generation. We are desperately short of good central defenders. The only proven decent one we have is Dunne and even he is prone to dodgy mistakes a couple of times per game.
In fairness to Alex, it was his first game for the senior side, i wouldn't go lambating him too much, I seen McShane play a few games for the U21 and Utd (before he went to WBA) and i though he was shocking, he's come a long way since then and maybe Alex can too. Give him a few more run outs in these friendly games and if he still isn't upto it then fine, afterall what have we to lose, there only friendly matches, these are the games you find out about frindge players like Alex, and you certanly don't judge him on one performance.Quote:

Considering that we have McShane, O'Dea and St Ledger coming through things aren't that bad. The thing about being a supporter is to support, not to snipe and wait for them to fail. Even if he is a limited player, he's wearing a green shirt and trying to win for us, so should be encouraged.
Welll said Manc irish Wolf. Very easy to knock players as there are more bad players than good ones in the world.
Top Post. Most forums have become slating shops for cranks and no one is allowed to question them without being abused.Ive being given far more personal abuse on other Foot.ie forums than the word i used to Pablo but I have been warned for the 1st time ever here over it.Quote:

Yeah I was proved wrong by a good 45 minute spell a player had against desperate opposition (they had a player crisis also) all that statement proves is you have no clue about football my friend, you are the sort of armchair supporter that looks at one game and then makes a judgement of a player based on that single game.Quote:

I'll take their opinion over yours thank you very much as they've watched him all season and at best they think he's a fairly average player (in the Championship).
As for Bruce I've seen him numerous times playing for Birmingham and Ipswich again unlike your one game observation and let me say that he is c*ap. Look at my postings on young Irish players over the last few years to see how much my opinion counts. I'm nearly always right about young players (it's frighteningly accurate) as I don't just spout off after watching half a game unlike a few regulars on here. Listen and learn it could do you good.
As for that rubbish you spout about just supporting the player no matter what. More armchair supporter spouting nonsense. We'll see who over time is right about Bruce and Potter (me) there's a section on here btw that hype up every Irish player to ridiculous levels that they've ever seen (Partridge, Flood, Barrett all spring to mind in recent years) so pay them no mind as they don't have a balanced opinion.

Quote of the year on this forum. Why dont you go home and make love to yourself. Talk about patting yourself on the back.
I know because he hasn't the foggiest about Potter (or Alex Bruce for that matter). And if he does go week in week out he should start asking some of the fans around him for their opinions because he needs guidance before he is led too far astray from the path of sanity.Quote:

I've seen Potter more times playing than I make love to myself and he's an average Championship player at best. He would need to improve dramatically to be a decent Premiership and therefore International player. It can be done but at the moment I wouldn't have him near the Irish team against decent opposition or we'll continue to go nowhere.
Finally a bit of honesty on this forum....Quote:

I have not defended Bruce at all and in other thread I said he was very poor. So you are wrong to say I am making love to Alex Bruce. As for Darren Potter, well he is a pretty fine strapping lad with a lovely touch.
So you are making love to Darren Potter then? I don't understand then you congratulated MancIrishWolf for disagreeing with me because I initially said Bruce was rubbish when in fact you actually agreed with me? This forum messes with me mind I'm off to ourweecountry.com. At least they make sense on there in a hateful, bigoted sort of way.Quote:

But maybe I am an armchair supporter who needs to speak to more people on other forums. I am not sure oh wise one.

Absolutely brilliant! I have to say that in all my years of having to endure the deluded, self-righteous, uninformative observations of watchers of football (not supporters), that has to be up there with the best of them! If I can pick you up on a couple of points

I am a Wolves fan and I too have a season ticket. Therefore, am slightly more qualified than your good self to comment on his progress this season. Having underperformed at Right Wing, not his natural position, Potter has come into great favour with the Wolves fans, especially playing in the deep centre midfield role. If you speak to any genuine Wolves fans and around Wolverhampton (rather than distant perennial moaners who generally frequent such website message boards - sound familiar?) they will tell you likewise. His greatest asset is his off the ball running and ability to create and find space, something which you will not be able to appreciate on your TV screen.
I too have seen Bruce play for Birmingham and Ipswich and admit that he's no John Terry. However, he is young and developing in a position in which the best players mature a lot later in their playing careers due to strength and the wisdom of positioning, so deserves our support. As for your ridiculous spoutings about "My opinions count", "I am nearly always right" - this simply sounds like the desperate plea of an insecure man - don't worry we'll listen to you. Your opinion does count - but only as much as the next man.Quote:

Bruce isn't young enough to still have time to develop into a top player anyway. He's 23 in a few months. It's too long an uphill road. He's far too rubbish.Quote:

What I believe is that Bruce was not great for 30 mins last night along with Bennett as they had not agreed on how to play the offside trap. When that was rectified at half time they were solid in the second half. World class or international class they are both a long way off but I would not expect that from either of them. Do they have a future with Ireland, who is to know but I was impressed with how they improved in the 2nd half. But overall I thought both were poor. Your comments in my view are simplistic and OTT comments but thats just my opinion of your comments. Other than that you are probaby the best talen spotter foot.ie has ever had and why you are not employed as a scout by the FAI or some Premiership club I will never know.
If Alex Bruce becomes a decent top level footballer I'll chew my own arm off.Quote:

If we are happy for average Championship players to be playing in one of the most important positions in the Irish team then truly the good days are gone forever. As I've stated earlier Potter needs dramatic improvement to be a good player at the top tier. It's not impossible, Stephen Hunt did it (though I think next season will be a difficult one for him so I wouldn't get carried away with Hunt yet), but it's nowhere on the horizon yet and he'll be 23 early next season not 19 or 20.
I'm sorry next time I'll write an EalingGreen length essay to explain the negative qualities that could potentially hamper the progression of Alex Bruce to the top level of International and club football. Or else just continue to do my work talent spotting for Ajax before I get sacked.Quote:
