QuoteReally? All TOWK did was to cast a value judgment on Grealish. He was hardly revolutionary pointing out his non commitment. Grealish did that all by himself.
I know - I expected him to show up on the newly moved Jack Grealish site with a big, fat "I Told You So", which, in fairness, he would be entitled to.Originally Posted by tricky_colour

TOWKS left in a fit of pique having been told off by the power that be (DAHAMSTA) in some thread or other.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Where is Murfinator? That guy really drove me soft hadn't a clue and everyone on here thanking his posts and making out he had some great foresight especially re trap.
As soon as he was found out after Trap, he never returned.
Towk called the grealish one right. You sat on the fence stutts.

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
What was he saying about Trap ? That he was an abject failure having got us to one championship and a play-off in another? Sheesshh. It's no wonder he disappeared in embarrassment.

Mason was barely playing two years ago, was he?
Absolutely. He's been scoring goals since 2010 and for Cardiff and Bolton since 2011.
Hmm, I could have sworn he had a couple of years where he didn't get many games, but it seems you're right!
His career has still been a bit stop-start up to present - about 35% of his appearances have been as a substitute and two years ago he was coming off a season when he scored six goals in 29 appearances, which probably wouldn't have been enough to justify appearing in a Irish squad that contained Keane, Long, Walters and Doyle. The following season he had 6 in 19, although it did include a good streak of 5 goals in eight appearances. Last season he got 5 in 21, including one hat-trick. With that said, there are likely to be openings in our frontline next season with Keano very likely to retire, to be possibly joined by Doyle, Walters and/or Murphy. So if Mason keeps up his current form and ends up with 15-20 goals for the season, he will certainly have positioned himself as a strong candidate for a squad place for next Autumn's qualifiers (if he gets more than 20 and we do sneak into the Euros, it might even be worth our while taking him to France).
Is now a Wolves player

Hope the move to Wolves works for him, His career to date has been a little stop-start to say the least, A consistinent run of form Will def see him in the Republic senior squad.
Mason with a goal on his debut for Wolves.
Brought on at HT in Zenga's first match, started both games since and scored in each.
And notches again today, equaliser in a 3-1 away win at Birmingham. Should be in the shake up for the next squad surely ?
I've been hoping for that for at least 4 years. The guy regularly scores goals at a good level. Has deserved a look in before now. Wonder is Hogan going to join up? Could be a few decent options behind Long if these guys are brought on board.
Well there were a few squads he might have been in but you could never really argue he was shunned either. His best, I think, is 12 in 46 in 11/12, not sure how many of those were starts but I think it was between 25 & 30. This run he has 2 in the league from 8 attempts with 5 of those on the target & one LC goal also. He does need to hold his place though you feel this time round and deliver a complete season, which with a new manager, funds available after a takeover etc at Wolves will probably be the making of him if he does it.
This squad is a low pressure one, there's space to look at a few and I think we will, but if it was Hogan or Mason, which would you prefer to see in ?
Agreed. I don't think he was shunned either and I also agree that it would be nice to see him hold a spot down and score regularly over a full season but I think we could say that about most Irish strikers over the last 10-15 years. So not something to hold against him really. As I said he has deserved a look in a squad over the last few years. Some doubts about his commitment maybe as well as Hogan. Hard to pick one - they both carry the same risk really. Hogan probably the more dynamic of the two from the highlights I've seen so he'd probably get the nod if I could only pick one. We should look at both if they are committed to us.
http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/socc...-out-1.2863132After the problems he has had with serious injury, Hogan’s preference for resting up through the international breaks is not all that unreasonable but it certainly makes plain where his priorities lie and from his point of view O’Neill having to hang around for a mid-table Championship striker is slightly embarrassing although he must be getting accustomed to the feeling for the manager has suggested that Joe Mason at Wolves is similarly inclined to kick a potential call-up down the line.
Yes, O'Neill must be mortified.
Moved out to Burton Albion till January
