Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Mickrev, spout a load of rubbish and call everyone on the thread "clowns". Nice!
No one who truly believes themself to be Irish would declare for England just because their manager said so. As for him being better than Crowe/Lee/Byrne that's very very debatable. Don't recall him setting the Second Division alight this season. 16 in 46 games for a team that finished 2nd. whoop-di-doo, the saviour of Irish football is here!!
Would you believe I forgot about that chap for a moment.
Will neglect to mention his name for fear of yet another thread being hijacked by those with a one tracked mind.

To me this quote sums it up. He chose to play for ingurlund and now because things have not worked out as he would have wished he wants to join up with us. He's made his bed........
Gallen is no better than Crowe/Byrne/Lee/O'Flynn/Heffernen (scored more goals in his division despite being in a relegated team)/Keane/Morrison/Connolly and many more I could probably mention and have forgotten about. I'd even have youngsters like Elliot ahead of him. He's not good enough, whatever about what he did, the fact remains he's not good enough so it will never be an issue.
QPR fan here
Some of the posts here show little knowledge of Gallen's ability. His game is about much more than scoring goals and he probably has more "assists" than goals to his name. I know, I've been watching QPR for all the years we haven't been "decent"!
I can't understand the venom behind some of the attackes on Gallen. He was young and foolish when he opted for England, and has regretted it for a long while. This is a "second chance" for him, why can't he take it? Just watch him play in Division 1 next year before you judge him. Gallen is only 28 years of age by the way.
Rowlands is an excellent player by the way, and will flourish in Division 1
Hold on there a minute.
English clubs were only permitted 3 players if they were playing in Europe and this wasn't exactly a problem for QPR.
As for the list of players you mentioned a lot aren't even strikers so I don't know where your comparisons are coming from. If Gallen is better than all those mentioned why didn't he try to move to a bigger club when QPR got relegated to the 2nd?
No doubt about it but you really haven't the first clue, have you? I bet - as an example - you haven't an idea about Aiden McGeady. Nor obviously Graham Kavanagh, who has been the star turn in Cardiff's upper-mid table Division 1 finish this season. And, er, in case it had escaped your attention, Gary Doherty's been playing regularly for Tottenham in the Premier League. If Gallen is that good, why, surely he would be playing at that level too.
Semper in faecibus sole profundum variat
ahahaha Gallen better than McGready
That's up there with the clown who said Kilbane was one of the best players at the 2002 world cup, and wasn't taking the ****
Just to point out, and Im not 100% on this but pretty sure. Gallen left QPR a few years ago obviously looking for bigger and better things and when this didn't work out guess where he came crawlling back? Yes bonus points all round QPR. Gallen is not welcome here, he should act like a man and live with his choices...(could be heading to stormy waters better chance course) any self respecting nation would recognise that.
And lads, its far too early for this McGeady chap to be in the squad and here is where he should look at our neighbour (Cue Kev). Hes only played one or two games 'reserve games' for 'Sell-thick' and yet hes in the squad! If there concerned he will choose Scotland over us well he might but in that case he would consider himself Scottish and not Irish, if he says he is Irish then let him earn his place. 15-20 competative games for his scottish club atleast and thats if he performs well in the CL for them like Miller. Don't go getting all flusted because he looks good, like with Gallen its the principle.
A man is never really poor,
if he can still laugh.
I can't see him brought in and I don't want it to happen. But he can always bask in the glory of being named in the Irish Independant's Irish Team of the Week ( yes, a world class 11 there ):
S Kelly
(Bohemians)
S Kelly Breen Coughlan Clarke
(Spurs) (Sunderland) (Plymouth) (Stoke)
G Kelly Holland Tresson Doyle
(Leeds) (Charlton) (Bray) (Coventry)
McGeady Gallen
(Celtic) (QPR)
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Nationalism is an infantile disease, the measles of mankind
Some interesting points.
Apparently Kerr has said he wants to see Gallen perform at division 1 level next season and I think he is right. So we'll all have to wait and see how this one pans out in the future.
Here was not taking the **** about kilbane had a great wc u muppet !
I've got no problem with Gallen being Irish. I just think he's a w*nker for opting for England - despite the pressure from the cr*p player turned cr*p manager turned cr*p play director - and now trying to get into the Ireland team because his career with a white shirt is over.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
That's me convinced, played Premiership football 10 years ago, so is obviously still good enough....
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Kilbane was younger when he turned England down.
McGeady was still only seventeen when he had Bertie Vogts around to his for tea.
If he wanted to play for Ireland, he would have, don't forget his two older brothers had declared for us, it's not like he wouldn't have had support.
So KG was over looked by Sven again !!! will he be following the progress of his declared team in euro 2004,
He had the chance which all of us would kill for......and chose the money on the table. You make your choices...............
Didn't he leave QPR for a better career with .................Huddersfield, and I see that thug Bircham is in talks with Sheff Utd, money seems to talk for all these loyal QPR players who followed the club in their youth and have fulfilled their dream.
Ony one "Super Kev" from the County MAYO for Ireland .......................
Kevin Kilbane

sure he did, loseing out on player of the tournament only to Ian Harte.
If Gallen thought he was as good a player as what was said about him at the time he would have declared for Ireland told GF where to go with England, and proberley would have got a move to a bigger club, wouldn't have been playing for QPR in a 1st Div game @ Porthsmouth where he picked up that injury............................."YOU MAKE YOUR CHOICES - MONEY TALKS" it seems for some,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
