Sorry lads, I was joking. TOWK used to call Richard Keogh for saying similar, citing wanting to play all the time as evidence of entitlement. In my mind it was more like evidence of delusion

'Sometimes your face doesn't fit and mine doesn't at the moment,' says Wolves defender Matt Doherty
It's very silly. He's only playing in the PL a wet week. Christie has earned a lot of goodwill with MON. We all know how good Coleman is.
Personally, I'd fancy us playing 3-5-2 with Doherty at wing back and Coleman in beside Duffy and Clark/Long. But this won't do him any favours.
I think too much is being read into what he said. Doherty should be in the team, his face fits how I think we could be playing. The fact that our players play worse for us than they do at a (higher) club level reflects on the management of the team. I'd more suspect that players in the team are being asked to play a game that they are not being coached properly to play and therefore they look worse when it looks shapeless.
The Sunday Indo framed the Doherty interview as a story on the basis that he could claim for the Netherlands as his mother is Dutch and he hasnt okayed competitively for us. Christ.
Assisted the only goal of the match for Wolves today againsf Burnley and earned man of the match in the process.
Special attention on MOTD2 tonight for his performance.
Nice problem for MON to have. He’s not short of problems, not many nice ones though
Matt Doherty is playing too well . He needs to slip in to mediocrity or below . Roy can indulge himself and Martin can recount the long ago good old days without the inconvenience of Irish Players playing well .
I understand his frustration completely, he should have been given a lot more game time by now, but performances like yesterday is the way to heap pressure on O'Neill to pick him, not little digs via the media.
I never knew Matt Doherty was eligible for Holland (Dutch mum). Looking at their current squad - he'd probably get a game if he keeps going the way he is.
Now that would be funny, if Doherty went off and played for Holland. He dismissed it previously as being if i cant get into ireland whats the point in trying holland as though they are better.
Interesting to see what oneill would do , he would probably do his softly softly approach like in the media. It would be very funny actually. "we cant guarantee players playing time, they have to want to play for us", "we'll have a word with Matt and find out his intentions" "but as i say the player has to want to play for us".
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
This would be a simple one. He'll be in the next squad as he's a fixture now and MON just needs to cap him for a few mins without losing face. I'd attribute zero chance to Matt going Dutch.
Somewhere on foot.nl, Shtutts88 is weighing up whether this Matt Doherty character passes his gut tesht.
Munchen88 more likely or, dare I say, Gelsen88
Another goal today and Man of the Match performance according to the BBC. Involved in 3 goals now in the last 4 games, with two previous assists.
Has come on leaps and bounds under Nuno, voted for this month’s fans player of the month and recognised widely by fans as one of the Players of the Season so far.
Absolute travesty that he has been denied by O’Neill to date. Heard his reasoning was that he wants Doherty to run in straight lines, rather than cut inside and one-two. Playing more as a winger in a 3-4-3 (a system that would suit our current personnel with an abundance of centre halves and more wingers than strikers playing off the lone front man). Would love to see him as a winger working in tandem with Coleman if we are going to persist with a 4-4-2. Think they’d overlap brilliantly.
Scored the only goal of the game away to Crystal Palace today.
Two good articles here on Doherty’s rise this season. Has to play based upon form - tragic waste of a very good player to date.

Matt Doherty's goal is the fifth Premier League goal scored by an Irish player this season, more than scored at this point in the last two seasons - four in 2016/17 and three in 2017/18
