There is a negativity in the luxury tag. While I'd agree with you over Miller's position, I don't think he has the wherewithal to be regarded as a luxury player for us, even playing in front of CM.

Ever notice how it's usually midfielder players who are defined as a "luxury", very rarely defenders or strikers. Never goalkeepers.

Rene Higuita. Always considered Paddy Kenny a bit of a 'luxury' since he looks like a truffle and played like one against Cyprus.

i made 7 successful attempts at harrying this week.

**tetsujin1979** · 12/11/2010, 2:51 PM

I had 10 successful attempts at harrying this week detailed in an email.
Unfortunately it went viral and now I'm suspended from work.

When it comes to whatever you are attempting, surely 'plague' would be a more appropriate word or possibly if the target was female, then 'molest'?

You work at PWC?

Watched the Paris game again in this last week (first time since the fateful night). Interestingly, what many deem to be Andrews finest hour in a green shirt (albeit a white one) was based on a performance largely made up of harrying and great it was to! Surely its not an attribute that we think we no longer need in our midfielders?

I think the labelling of Miller as some sort of 'Luxury' player is bizarre to say the least. He is no more a luxury player, than that tracing paper bog roll you used to get in primary school is a luxury toilet paper.

**geysir** · 15/11/2010, 10:21 AM

You had a toilet in your primary school? and toilet rolls of some description? Luxury indeed.

You never had to attend a national school built in the mid19C, immaculately preserved in its original form.

Completely misread that and was wondering why Rene Higuita had a problem with Pat Kenny. And I was even more confused why The Plank was looking like a truffle against Cyprus.

Frazzle.

Funny, I saw this today. And usually when an Irish player moves, I'm straight in here to see what everyone's saying. But it simply didn't cross my mind to bother with it at all. I think I'd actually forgotten he's Irish or played for us. Shame - hope he enjoys the beach.

I thought this guy had the football world at his feet when he was starring in the Champions League for Celtic and Man Utd. were sniffing around.

Expectations: a cautionary tale.

This is a name I didn't expect to pop up at the top of the Ireland forum on the eve of a Euro 2012 qualifier.

He played in our final WC2010 Group game though...

**DannyInvincible** · 03/06/2011, 1:13 PM

Ah, it was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to his demise from terrific prospect to relative obscurity on the other side of the globe.

I know, but if Caleb Folan can get a call-up, why can't Liam?

Perth have a lad by the name of Neil Young in their ranks. However, it's not a case of it being better to burn out than to fade away for our Liam. Still only 30 too, he's had an interesting career.
