    Allardyce said he was the most gifted young player he ever managed.

    Doesn't always translate as Whelan's graft will attest to.

    Funny reading the posts here on this page affirmed what I had thought on reading the article in the independent. I really didn't take treacy as a legit character witness...

And he talks about his wife, in the way a depressed person talks about a supportive spouse.
    And yes a player like him has unused talent, but what do you do when you lose confidence, hope and ambition? And anyway, it's his talent to use in whatever way he wants. He probably had worked hard for years as a kid to develop his talent, while most of us would be sinking a rake of pints after a game. He owns his own talent.
    Good luck to him.

    I think it was well-known that Treacy wasn't happy emotionally over there and this was the cause of some of his footballing problems.

    i didn't know that but there's a good space between emotionally unhappy and what he's expressing.

    Well by that token(and the aforementioned ability) he should take the LOI by storm then this year.

    A lot of players are expected to take the league by storm and don't. Clearly Treacy's nowhere near the level he was playing at, and he'll need to step it up if he's to make it in this league.

    Couldn't agree more. That was originally written in a hurry but anyone who knows the slightest about mental illness/issues will see he was obviously depressed. Fair play to him for making himself happy again.

    Remember the picture of him on Twitter that got leaked?

    The one where he lay naked on a bed and exposed his chocolate starfish to the camera.

    how do you manage to quote Charlie's post and replace his name with mine?
    Not that I am put out to be the named person on a quote that did originate from Charlie but that's seriously fcked up. And for such an action, who else but paul o shea could manage that.


    this was the Charlie's post

    Pull the other one Charlie, there's just too much disbelief to suspend to swallow that one.

    The mere thought of having paul as a fan ..............

    gunshot in the distance.

    Paul is a natural admirer of you but once he gets in with that YBIG he realises he needs to devote himself full-time to being a real fan of going to away games.

    The admiration under other circumstances might be truly flattering, but this particular expression of admiration has a sarky stalker feel about it.
    I suppose that would be the YBIG influence.

    i see Keith was an used sub last night, how long will it take for him to get up to scratch?

    Treacy was a tidy footballer. Deserved more caps

    Great interview. Speaks candidly about how he never liked playing football matches and how much he used drink as a crutch in living life as a football player. He's off it a year and still only 30 but reckons he couldn't go back playing competitively.
