Stephen Ireland turned the opportunity down

Would you be posting this if there wasn't seemingly bad blood between Hunt and S. Ireland?

I dont think there is any bad blood between them to be honest but I wudnt complain if he had said something usefull not something so blatent unlike Duffs interview which was a bit more insightful.

what did Duff say?

**geysir** · 03/09/2009, 1:36 PM

Duff surprised me with this profound info
"Italy are a point ahead, with a game in hand, but they’ve two tough games coming up next week. If we want to win the group, we have to win in Cyprus"

Does anyone feel like the soccer team are sounding more and more like the rugby team did a few years ago, and would never end up doing what they said they needed to do?!

2 goals for Hunt tonight against Bolton, came back from 2:0 to 2:2
10 minutes left.

**Colbert Report** · 29/12/2009, 8:42 PM

hunt is definitely man of the match, making great plays all over the pitch, looks like a man possessed

I'm only listening on the radio, could not find a stream anywhere

I doubt Hull are keen to sell him but I seem to remember reading Hunt is not too happy there, or did I imagine that?

I think that Hull could do with the money

Hes put in a transfer request and wants to sign for wolves.mick mccarthy is desperate to sign.

Christ...that piece of play against Wolves, when Hunt back-heeled the ball to try and keep it in play, was embarrassing.

Yss he must have thought he was already playing for Wolves

Anyway I though he took a cracking penalty. Top corner.

Yes, fantastic penalty, I think short players are better penalty takers, less likely to blast over, just a theory, though there may be some physics to back it up!

Interesting theory.

You could be right there. I think there was some theory that short cricket players were better but I don't know if that's true, but
Brian Lara was only 5'8. There is less distance between the eye and the ball you are striking so that should help.
Also he took a short run up, only a couple of steps, if you pace that out correctly it's probably hard to put it over the top. just make sure you are not leaning back when you strike the ball.

I commend Hunt for his passion and workrate for Ireland but his overall game is shocking at the best of times. Still runs with the ball with his head down, passing is brutal.His end product like McGeady is not there.
