If that happens, hopefully it is in the next two games against Chile and Holland, after which there will be no doubt that O'Shea is not a Centre Back and just in time before the games that matter.

Agreed. O'Shea has recently said he feels center midfield or center back are his best positions. He has not had too many opportunities to play center back for Ireland at senior level so the jury is still out, I wouldn't play him at center back in a competitive game against strong opposition until he goes some way towards proving himself there, you will agree that our options are threadbare at center back. The result and performance last Wednesday are being over hyped, we won't know what it meant if anything for another year or so.

O'Brien and Doyle are having excellent seasons and look like guys who can be around for a long time but they could as easily turn in the next generation of Barry Quinns, Thomas Butlers, Stephen McPhails and Michael Reddys.

Makes interesting reading after the recent doom mongers stuff.

**Billsthoughts** · 18/08/2006, 1:06 PM

what would make more interesting reading would be to find some of the damning criticisms of Kerr made by the likes of yourself and some of the hilarious speculation bout who the next manager would be also by your little clique.......much more interesting

Owlsfan can I join your clique, it sounds so much fun, is their a special hand shake in order to get in or do we all have to support Sheff Wed or do you have to have an owl in your name.

I think comments like the likes of yourself are never healthy in any sort of debate, personal insults like that tied to generalisations are not good in my view in any forum.

**Billsthoughts** · 18/08/2006, 1:23 PM

attack the post not the poster!

**NeilMcD** · 18/08/2006, 1:28 PM

I did.

**Billsthoughts** · 18/08/2006, 1:36 PM

Wow you debating whizz you.

I merely pointed out the fact everyone holds views according to information available at the time. Intelligent people develop their thinking as they absorb more info. less intelligent people cling to their views like a comfort blanket regardless of any contrary evidence. Pointing out that people have changed their opinions over time is pointless. There is nothing personal in that.

**NeilMcD** · 18/08/2006, 1:40 PM

Again making snide sarcastic comments about me. You said attack the poster not the post and I clearly did that so your post from above is in fact incorrect.

In addition comments like "the likes of yourself" and referring to little cliques that dont even exist are personal comments about Owls fan which are un warranted in my view.

I know the likes of yourself(

) can go on all day with this so this will be last response,- it wasnt clear that you were attacking the post not the poster. otherwise I wouldnt have said it wasnt. you see? now go do some work.

**NeilMcD** · 18/08/2006, 1:52 PM

Sorry I can conduct my day any way I like so please dont tell me what to do or whether to work or not.

It was totally clear I was attacking the post and not the poster.
