On BBC Sport O'Donovan is in for Connolly.
I'd take SAFC's word over theirs, plus if you scroll down they have a little bit on Connolly and how he needs 1 goal to make it 100 in League football.
I'll make everyone here a deal. If Connolly starts 3 games and plays at least 70 minutes in each (this is between now and the 2 qualifiers) and doesn't score or get an assist, I will never post in this thread again, if he scored one against Birmingham, nothing happens, if he scores one against Man U or Liverpool (and not just a tap-in) you must say maybe you were wrong, and if he scores 2 or more, you must admit you were likely wrong and he should be in the squad for the 2 qualifiers...everyone, how does that sound?
Also, the match will not be shown on Setanta until 1 in the morning (your time) so I won't be around to argue until about 3 (when it ends)

Where do you think they got their information from? Every club issues a press release before each game. O'Donovan was on all the other releases, not Connolly.
Jesus, everyone here shies away from the main picture of the post and takes the small details. Does it really matter? It seems a good few people might be worried they were wrong after all.
If the deals unfair, at least you could tell me how so
By the way, Connolly is starting up front with Chopra, so I won't be around for awhile as I'll watch the match on delay

Well you can hardly blame Connolly for not scoring tonight, he never had a chance, he played fine, but the midfield was utter ****, and I turned it off when Keane took Connolly off in the 60th minute. Even I can admit its not the worst thing Keane has ever done, but thats for another thread and another time.

Connolly is utter pants. He's preventing a number of younger, infintely more talented Irish strikers from getting the games they require at Sunderland to aide their development and for that I hate the imp even more. Rubbish last night again. Too weak and slow and not clinical enough for the Premiership. NEXT.

The much loved Connolly thread is back and heading for 10,000 views!The thread reflects Connolly - you just can't get rid of him.
Not far off the full set - David Connolly, Ian Harte, Is Robbie Keane any good?.
What we need is a Saipan debate.
Just like a case of Herpes.......it might disappear for a while, but sure enough it will continually reappear to annoy the sh*te out of you!

What a useless C*nt he is, saw him last night, dreadful, absolutely dreadful.
I guess when you go into matches expecting to see something you somehow manage to see it. How was he dreadful? He was certainly better than Michael Chopra in the time that he was on (Chopra must have done well after, no big surprise as he was playing with someone who was 6 feet tall), he should've won a penalty, he never had any help from the midfield (Edwards and Etuhu were at the worst I have ever seen them), and he even won headers against guy half a foot taller than him. Next time try going in with a clear mind.
For example, if I think livehead1 is a dumbass, everytime I see he has posted I will assume it is bad and when I read it will likely think it is bad. Same as you.

6 out of 10. My math skills aren't great, but, according to my calculations, 5 would be half on that scale, and thus average...doesn't that mean...again, my math skills aren't great...that he played above average? 6 is more than 5, correct? 4 is what Colin Doyle got last Saturday, that would be dreadful, I suppose. Surely 6 is at least average. Again, my math could be wrong, if so, please educate me.

Here too, slightly worse than Sky's, but, unless the .5 means minus 5, I'm pretty sure thats still above average. If not, what does that make McShane? Man, all of this math is making my head hurt

Mate. Sorry, but just shush talking about David Connolly. Why do you like him so much? Spend time focusing your energy on something beneficial like knitting or something.
Everyone knows them Sky ratins are uselss, all Steven Gerrard has to do is play and he gets a minimum of a 7!
And its MATHS, not MATH!!!
And what of the Setanta ratings? There is a reason I posted two. Connolly is one of my favorite players. Honestly, if this is the best response you can come up with I figure your dislike of Connolly is pretty misguided

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
I'm afraid I can't tell you at this point in time, but I can tell you he is not a relative. I will tell you I like him for basically the same reason I like me other favorite players (Besides Hasselbaink).

Aha.........you're his agent!.....it fits "the worm" and the "little Worm"!
Although, I can't see why Hasselbaink is not included...after all " little A*se" and "Great Big A*se" seems to work!

Theworm I admire your loyalty sticking by your player through thick and thin when in this fickle age that we live in most would have abandoned him long ago. Truly it's a beautiful thing to behold and I wouldn't hear a bad word said against you for it. But Connolly is pants.Aha.........you're his agent!

And Hasselbaink is a horrible creep. One of the worst examples of the modern day / couldn't be arsed / mercenary footballer.
Worm, can't you pick some other favourite players? It's time to move on
