Surely this thread is nearly at an end as it's about a player that's international career is over, and one who never achieved anything major during his career. It just seems pointless that people are still discussing him, although I do feel that he was given a raw deal by some on this forum

That is not a hint to keep the thread going

**theworm2345** · 17/07/2008, 1:05 AM

Hmm, its odd that his international career is over after he was included in the last preliminary squad. This thread will never die!

**minty** · 22/07/2008, 11:29 AM

i think he could still do a decent job at a championship team that are pushing for promotion!

I like Pardew but I feel he is punching below his weight, plus Southampton already have 3 strikers who can score in League 1 (Saganowski, Lambert, Waigo)

You think Connolly is punching below his weight? He hasn't played regular football for years, 2006-7 the only season in the last 4 that he's played more than 20 games, and he hasn't scored since then either.

Lucky anyone's taken a punt on him.

it was a good 14 months while it lasted...

He'll score for fun in that league

Definately, would nearly even be worth a bet each way for top scorer even at this late stage

We'll have to monitor this young pups progress.

This kid could be a star for the future.....................

Feel a bit sorry for him, he never really got his career kick started, in and out of the Irish squad etc. Then in and mostly out at sunderland.

In fairness he was doing well there until injury troubles started.

**OwlsFan** · 09/10/2009, 4:29 PM

Connolly would have done well in Scotland where they like midget forwards (e.g. Celtic's McDonald and Maloney).

Forget about this guy, he's an over the hill never-was.

Depends on how much he lost with the injuries and rehab

"At least he's not Canadian".

Huh? I live in Canada but I'm not Canadian. I'm from Kildare. I don't get your point. I realize this guy is your favourite player but move on, he'll never play for Ireland again. You don't see me bringing up threads on guys that have nothing to do with the current Irish set up. Do you think Trap even knows who this guy is?

Well **** I sure hope so because he was in his first 40 man squad. By the way I meant to put a

by the Canadian comment, I edited it. I have nothing against Canadians, I have many Canadian second cousins, a good friend who is Canadian, two of my great-grandparents were Canadian, and I love hockey...I just like to give them crap

Also I just remembered Adam Lallana too being another striker Southampton have who will score goals in League One (indeed he scored two today)

He deserves a bit more respect than a statement like that.Hes not gonna challenge for a place in the international team again but as an Irish player alot of people will still keep an eye on his career and hope things go well for him.
