Keith Fahey

Almost scored Birmingham's second there. Could have been a cracker!

**Colbert Report** · 27/02/2011, 4:45 PM

Fahey subbed off right on the 83 minute mark. I've never been that impressed with him but I must say he had a great game today.

Fahey was very good, Carr was immense. Very pleased for both of them.

Must be the first time an Irishman has won a major football medal outside of Ireland for a while.
Unless you know different.........

John O'Shea and Darron Gibson last season. Same competition.

However, Carr must be the first Irish captain to win something since Keano?

Delighted for both of em. So glad that the Brum won. The media **** fest over how great this Arsenal team really is was starting to get on my nerves. The guardian thought Arsenal just had to turn up and the trophy was theirs.

How many times did they mention the fact that Stephen Carr had "retired to Ireland"?

I'm an Arsenal fan and couldn't believe the media coverage. They can be a fantastic team sometimes but they have a soft core and can be got at. They have thrown away winnining positions against Newcastle, Spurs, Sunderland, Wigan, Shaktar and a few others this year. That's not the hallmark of winners and the media should have copped on to that. They have a habit of not winning games that they have controlled. Man City at home is a great example.

Brum put it well up to them today and got what they deserved for their first half performance. Well done Keith. I have no great regard for Carr. He could easily still be playing for Ireland.

Quoted for the wow factor

Becomes one of a\very select group who has won the League Cup in Ireland and England

Delighted for Fahey, very unlucky not to score.

SHOCKER -The BBC commentator actually pronounced his name right!!!

Arsenal without Fabregas and Van P are very average.

I only realised now that it was Barry Ferguson who patted Koscielny on the head celebrating the winning goal. What a tw at. I don't expect footballers to be saints but sometimes the lack of basic sportsmanship you see is unbelievable. From a toe rag such as Ferguson though, it's no surprise.

Yeah, I was fairly disgusted to see that. Like something a cocky 11-year old might do in the schoolyard. As you say though, from Ferguson it's no surprise. Remember his pathetic v-signs while on Scotland duty? What a wally.

**Charlie Darwin** · 28/02/2011, 4:00 PM

To put it in context, Birmingham were upset that in the first half Koscielny had gone over the top of the ball and almost cut off Lee Bowyer's ankle (though I think he actually missed him completely).

**SkStu** · 28/02/2011, 4:07 PM

i love that most people, especially CR, have come round to rating Fahey now. Excellent.

Nothing worse. The bully on the school playground stuff. The first thing that came into his mind was to shove down Koscielny's head says it all rather than celebrating with his own team mates. Souless ****.
