    I'd go so far as to say I think it's one of the few uncontestable places. The options he's given us going forward. Generally been excellent in defence, and a goal threat as well. Hasn't had the competition (Doc excluded) that others had.
    Not going to argue any of that, but he's still playing!

    Interesting. Sounds like a candidate for our MNT sometime soon. Rochdale's pitch & stadium look great.

    Really fantastic programme. RTÉ putting out a lot of very good Irish-focussed stuff lately; fair dues to them.

    You actually get it at 60 in the Liverpool City Region and bloody useful it is too. Free travel on buses and Merseyrail. Never actually seen him on the bus, but did bump into him in Sports Direct once. It was one of those occasions when you recognise someone, think they're somebody you know, greet them and then realise that they're actually a public figure. He said hello back, which was decent of him.

    I met him in Buskers in Temple Bar back when he was manager of Tranmere. Himself and Kevin Sheedy were there. I was absolutely langered and chewed the ear off him about Alan Mahon and how he was the next messiah of Irish football. He was actually really sound, even though i was probably the most annoying person he met that year. He was just "yeah, Ally is a good kid... yeah, he's sound..." - Sheedy was just laughing his ****** off. I thanked Sheedy for one of the greatest moments in Irish football and he just nodded. Eventually i took the hint and stumbled off into the night... good times for the three of us.

    Alan Mahon, Sean Thornton, Kieron Brady, Owen Garvan and many more. Why do we produce so many prodigiously talented midfield players who turn out to be not very good, or fit or sober?

    I met John Aldridge at Turners Cross in March 2009, around the time we drew 1-1 with Bulgaria in a World Cup qualifier at Croke Park. Very nice guy.

    I met him in Orlando once and he was dog ignorant. I was just trying to do my job by following the policy and procedures of the FIFA World Cup and he couldn't handle it. Insulted my little blue jacket, had a go at my yellow baseball cap and called me a ****!n tw@t! Completely uncalled for stuff.
    Rules are there for a reason!
    Folding my way into the big money!!!

    Sorry for posting on this thread, but it was a shock to hear of the death of Gerry Ryan who was a player who had a good career, and seemed to flourish as he got older. Really starting to feel my age and RIP Gerry.

    Would Nigel Pearson be a contender for the Irish job ? !
