Is Derek Foran the dirtiest player in the League of Ireland

**Charlie Darwin** · 19/05/2013, 3:05 PM

He's twice the player Chambers ever was. The only player, along with Sheppard, who looked completely in his element in the Europa League.

It's only 10 past 4 Charlie, you shouldn't be this drunk.

But the cocktails had umbrellas in them

Chambers and Rice are a poor man's Richie Towell.

I do think Towell is a terrific player. Don't reckon he'll be in the LOI longer than a year.

I'd settle for a year.

Word has it Shams are trying to sign him. Croly reckons if he had Dick Towell along with Dick Brush it'd be no problem keeping clean sheets.

[QUOTE=Charlie Darwin;1686013]He's not dirty, he's just very clumsy.

Yea, my view as well. clumsy and slow and ends up fouling to 'catch up'. Not adverse to the odd agricultural challenge but not as nasty as some I could think of.

Dirtiest? - I woudln't have thought so. He is most definately very ordinary though.

He certainly wasn't a dirty player when he was with us.

Unless he was giving sly elbows or digs to those who sat with him on the bench, or tripping up others as he warmed up on the sideline.

Foran isn't a dirty player at all in my opinion. Stood out for us last season and it's a shame he moved on because he is the exact type of player we are missing this year, a centre back who is comfortable with the ball. That said he may be prone to a rash decision, which may get him in trouble with the ref. Not to popular in Oriel Park these days, you always got the feeling he felt he was too good to be at the club, then he called Oriel Park 'Hell' in an interview in the Mirror and then when we needed him most he wasn't prepared to take an injection to play. In one sense you can understand maybe a player wouldn't want to put his body on the line especially when he knew he wouldn't be here next year, but at the same time he was part of the team that got us there, albeit out best player that season.

Looked more mistimed than anything. Don't think there was any intent to hit the player, just win the ball.

**SkStu** · 23/05/2013, 12:17 AM

I've never seen him play live but I'd say he's deffo the dirtiest player.

**Mr A** · 23/05/2013, 8:46 AM

He may or may not be the dirtiest player, but if any LOI club makes a move for Ryan Catney he'll certainly be up there.

**Only1Rovers** · 23/05/2013, 10:03 AM

'he's not that sort of player'

**bullit** · 29/05/2013, 4:14 AM

Everone loves a dirty player and thats the truth,esp a dirty but decent FB or MF 'er.
