Cult status begins. Ward will equalise now.

**Soper** · 20/01/2007, 1:54 PM

Not a chance

**stickyjoe** · 20/01/2007, 2:36 PM

Byrne got the last 25 mins and Ward got the last 10

Jason Byrne came off the bench for Cardiff and scored the winner in the 88th min. Wolves1 Cardiff2. Great that the former EL players are doing well over there , shows our league in a new light!

**Sonic** · 20/01/2007, 4:41 PM

I knew he was a class act lets hope he proves me right over there.

**Block G Raptor** · 20/01/2007, 7:40 PM

Did Wardy get a run out for Wolves?

**Soper** · 20/01/2007, 8:00 PM

Yeah, he did.Seemed quiet enough though.

Good man himself. It's sad that it's only now he becomes eligable for ROI. but that's the way it is unfortunately. Re: Stephen Kenny keeping Dunfermline up= better than winning the league with Derry.

Give it two or three more years: we're going in the right direction.

**gustavo** · 22/01/2007, 8:43 AM

This is how much Dave Jones rated him

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...ty/6285135.stm

"We took a gamble on him for �75,000, and it looks like it's paid off."

**paul_oshea** · 22/01/2007, 10:27 AM

I'm really confident that I can do it over here - I've scored at every level I have played at before and will back myself to do it again. I'm still only 28 and not past it!

when did he score at senior international level?

btw cheeky git that jones' fella! how in any shape or form is 75K a gamble. like seriouslly. even if he was crap.

Maybe the gamble was on paying anything to Ollie - i.e. if he'd waited a little while he might have got Byrne on a free but risked him going to another club. So it wasn't the �100k+ sterling that was rumoured. How much of the fee is owed to Bray, 40% or so?
