When did he ever pull out of a squad when "it suits"??
He was excused from the squad to rest a knee injury. From http://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/tr...s-2185402.html

Richard Dunne, as expected, has been ruled out by a long-standing Achilles problem, the same injury causing Kevin Kilbane problems at the moment.

"Kevin Kilbane and Richard Dunne have injuries. It's the Achilles tendon, very dangerous, and they should stay at home and rest."

He was only kidding mate. Kilbane has started seventy odd matches in a row.

Killer making his debut as a TV pundit on RTE now.

Says he's staying with Hull.

KK's cut his wages in half in exchange for a one-year extension to his Hull deal. Class act.

Can't think of a better role model. For young players...and people in general. Class act indeed.

He may have struggled with Messi at times today against Messi, but who wouldn't? I love seeing him play in the green shirt, hell I'd rather see him in central midfield than the **** Manchester anyday.

KK showing early signs of being punch drunk.
Millwall v Hull
....getting into the space Bostock should have been exploiting and trying to link with Garcia. Bostock was pathetic. When he got the ball, he tried to shoot from ridiculous angles. Someone enjoyed all the publicity from last week’s goal a bit too much. It was 70 minutes before he looked anything like a team player. Still, he was better than Kilbane, who was just useless. Attacking threat? None. Defensive cover? None. Experienced head galvanizing young players? Nope. That this clown walked out for the second half and Will Atkinson found himself taking an early shower was a travesty. eter Halmosi hasn’t done much of anything to earn a first team place at City but he could stroll up and down the left wing doing sod all and would at least whip in some decent set-pieces to justify selection. Kevin Kilbane in a City shirt just makes me think “Perhaps Ryan Williams wasn’t that bad after all?”

I dread to find out more about Ryan Williams.

Popped up with the equaliser today for Hull

**AlaskaFox** · 30/10/2010, 6:39 PM

What a legend. 200 caps here he comes.

**EastTerracer** · 15/01/2011, 2:33 PM

Killer scored for Huddersfield in the first half today. Described on Sky as a great individual goal - beat the defender, rounded the goalkeeper and "as good a finish as you'll see".

**paul_oshea** · 15/01/2011, 5:40 PM

as good as will see. In league one.

**irishfan86** · 16/01/2011, 7:55 AM

As bad as he gets knocked on here at times, I think he's still good enough for the Championship in a midfield role. Was surprised when he dropped down to league 1. I think he's a victim of just playing out of position with Ireland. I'd say he'll be back in the Championship sooner rather than later.

**theworm2345** · 17/01/2011, 4:56 AM

Legend.

Absolutely!
He's a winger. Always has been. And stood in to do a job at left back for Trap, with no complaints, and has been stuck there ever since.

I saw him live in the game against Wednesday. He played central midfield and looked a class above most. Played very well for 75 minutes but then started to give the ball away. Goal above looks brilliant.

Still think his international days are past, certainly at full back.

From that goal it looks like he's recaptured that yard of pace..........

I think it was on fast forward.
