He is not good enough to start anyhow. let him off!!!

I watched the interview for 5 minutes, cringed and turned over to the Shawshank Redemption. Class film.

Of couse he is going to get a slagging, to pretend he wouldn't would be being dishonest. I haven't forgotten the miscarraige story, I just don't believe it. Seriously the miscarriage story just doesn't add up, I can buy his gf not wanting to say she had a miscarriage over the phone but why wouldn't Ireland just come clean when confronted by the fact that his granny was still alive instead of inventing another dead granny? There was no need for him to lie about the miscarriage a 2nd time, there would have been no shame in just saying his gf didn't want to say she had a miscarriage, the only reasonable explanation as to why he invented another dead granny was that that was the best excuse the idiot could think of at the time

He was extremely nervous. Also, as someone else said, he appears to say whatever pops into his head.

**saint morrissey** · 21/04/2008, 2:21 PM

must say i dont believe the miscarriage story either and hunt saying how ireland left them in the lurch against czech republic would seem to suggest that he doesnt believe it either.

**Block G Raptor** · 21/04/2008, 2:24 PM

in that case, lambaste the fecker. I thought the miscarraige story had been verified. what was the problem then? did he just not want to play ?

for what it's worth, i know his girlfriend and the miscarrige story is true, still the chav deserves to get all the lambasting that will come his way and i'd say hunt will be there leading it

**Block G Raptor** · 21/04/2008, 2:36 PM

Why does he deserve it. would you stay if it was your partner? I had to drive to dublin from Castleblaney while my partner miscarried and to this day I don't know how I didn't crash. I couldn't even remember the journey as soon as I got out of the car. He should have came clean straight away there is no doubt about that but a miscarraige is a very personal thing and considering his age and the reaction of Hunt I can understand why he was reluctant to come out with it if he felt he'd be ridiculed by his own team mates

oh i didn't mean he deserves a lambasting for his girlfriend having a miscarraige, that was most unfortunate and i wouldn't wish that on anyone! i meant he deserves a lambasting for getting the hump when the other lads were giving him stick about his hair and purely for driving a pink range rover!

Ah thats all right. yeah he deffo deserves stick over that car. I assumed he was photographed moving his girlfriends car but have been reliably informed that it is actually his

**carloz** · 21/04/2008, 4:49 PM

I really think he could have put just a bit more thought into his comments about Ireland. Saying they were talking behind his back, that he will get a bit of abuse if he comes back! It wasnt hard for him to say that he will be welcomed back by the players. Yes obviously he is angry about what happend before the Czech game, just like all te fans were, but there was no need to say that on TV. his comments on Staunton were quite fair. It was a little cringeworthy watching it though

Ha should've done the same. He kept making the wierdest faces, no wonder he doesn't do interviews so cringeworthy.
Nearly felt sorry for him he's just so........i dunno just awkward kinda

Allegedly. I don't think it's been verified by any sort of authority but then again it's difficult to prove without being an insensitive tosser anyway isn't it? Which is handy for a proven liar. I've been through the experience too and wouldn't wish it on anybody but I find it very hard to take Ireland at his word now.

So the question shouldn't be asked because players are afraid to answer it?

He is also a whinebag of the highest order if his column in the Star is anthing to go by. "I should have started against Brazil because I would have liked to..."
