Ryan has been horrible this season. But he's not a horrible player.
Go back to the 2008 season. He was one of our players of the year. Could pick a pass out anywhere. Was lovely to watch.
He's had a hip injury since our second game of the season in Tallaght.
Selective memory is a great thing.
@srfcbrothelutd, you called me an adlum. personally thats your opinion and thats great thing about a forum we are all entitled to it. but i am confused as to what an adlum is. you use this word frequently so you must know what this insult is ??? and as for being one of the danny ventre worshippers you are wrong. i think he is a good personalty in the dressing room to have and a good utility player as he can play in many positions and gives 100% every time but i think he limited in his ability. i have stated this fact many times here so when ya want to insult someone with your makey up words at least get your facts right.......
you say richie was the best player in the final for first 20 mins !! what good is being a good player for 20 mins ?? a match lasts 90 mins in case you are wondering or maybe in your mind you make it up to be only 20 like you make your words up ??? fair play to ya for standing up for richie so profusely you obviously admire him greatly........ nothing like a good bromance to get the blood pumping !!!

Yea, I've heard it used before. My point is that he's dishing it out but obviously doesn't even know the origins of the word. Just using it because he heard somebody else saying it. For example, if I used the word "pleb" or "cretin" as a term of abuse I would know where the word originates as a term of abuse and what it means.
i think he just likes shouting his mouth off......... find it quite funny to tell ya the truth
So we've signed Richie Ryan, a midfielder who can't/won't tackle, win headers, take free kicks, corners or make forward runs, I feel effervescent. The bad footballers/management buddies drinking club is now complete
you mustnt play football if you think richie's useless
This argument is going nowhere.

So people who don't actually play the game are automatically wrong? What a bogus argument and one you have used many times before CF. You're the one who musn't have played football if you think Ryan is any good. I play plenty of football and I wouldn't be too happy if I was playing alongside him watching him waddle around hitting square passes and not putting a tackle in.
Anyways, as onlyonerovers has said, this debate is going nowhere and has been done to death on this forum. I'll be happy to eat my words if Ryan produces anything approaching a decent standard next season but I think it's unlikely.
And harping on about an injury all next year when he could have been offloaded now will cut no ice either. Cook has made the decision that he thinks that he is worth it.
If nothing else, I'm sure Kevin Quinn will be happy anyways.
Yeah Ritchie had a poor season last year but when he first arrived we were raving about him and he was going to be the next big thing in manys fans eyes. It didnt materialise last year. So this is his chance to try and prove the doubters wrong. But lets give all the lads a fair chance before slating them.
