Richard Dunne's interview

[paul_oshea]

Think this paragraph from rte.ie is very informative, says it all really about the little things that end up as big things, and the difference between us over the last 4 years and currently:

'Also, for the two centre-halves or any defenders who have the ball, it's a simple pass for us, so we can just concentrate on the defending. It does benefit us, especially in tough away games.'

I presume he is refering to midfielders who run towards them and take the ball off them rather than run away and wait for long balls over the top. It was noticable on Saturday how much improved the distribution was, Kilbane in particular played some nice one touch with S.Reid, which led to Whelan's goal.

ya the passing was lovely for whelans goals, the way the space was made for him.

Dunne is on the cover of Fifa 09. Cool or what..

Thought Terry and Ronaldo were? Unless it's a cover specifically for Ireland, I think you've got it wrong.

[Colbert Report]

Different versions of covers for FIFA 09 have been unveiled. All covers features Ronaldinho with different players for each region: NA version features Guillermo Ochoa and Maurice Edu, German cover features Kevin Kurányi, Italian cover features Daniele De Rossi, Irish cover features Richard Dunne, French cover features Franck Ribéry, and Karim Benzema, Portuguese cover features Ricardo Quaresma, Spanish cover features Gonzalo Higuaín, and UK cover features Wayne Rooney, as does the Australian cover. After the NA cover was already presented, Maurice Edu changed his club to Rangers F.C., and because of that, the cover was changed to Maurice in a US National Team jersey and Ronaldinho is changed to featuring in his Milan jersey, so a club team jersey was featured.[5]

It's funny Richard Dunne being on the cover alongside Ronaldinho after the whole Man City thing: "Richard Dunne doesn't exactly role off the tongue in Beijing!"
