He should be in the Ireland team ahead of Andrews in the next qualifying campaign.
If you've nothing good to say, say it.
I don't understand what more andrews can do to get rid of his doubters after that wonderful midfield performance in paris.
I'm just glad Darron did not take up playing darts.
but he could be a vaguley famous alcaholic, chain smoking obese man now! he could only be that lucky
or there would be a few bystanders with darts sticking out of their heads along with every bullseye.
Since when did one good performance make a good player?
Darron will be starting, could be at RM.
As expected, Gibson starts for United this evening.
Remember - it's on TV3.
What are the odds that he'll score?
he has hit a few wayward passes lads.
I think maybe a little tired.

In fairness it was a very hard pitch to pass on, everyone had wayward passes. A solid performence.

LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
I wouldn't agree, competent no frills display, sprayed the ball about impressively in first 15 mins and a great second half pass to pick out Nani at start of second half.
I thought his first long pass was Bradyesque (no higher praise).
Ya i only saw the first 20 and hte last 30 but he hit a lot of misplaced passes for the last 30, in the first 20 he hit a ball towards the 18 yard line for scholes i think that went across when under pressure that was good.
he definitely hit a few shockers around the 75 - 85 min mark. tiring probably. hopefully he did well up to that.

Paul. I think your observation skills were a bit tired.
I would compare him to a young Frank Lampard more than a young Scholes.Scholes was always a much more complete midfielder than Lampard in my opinon. I always felt especially in his earlier days that if Lampard didnt get a goal(which he was excellent at doing) he didnt really add an awful lot more to the midfield area.Having said that he has developed into an excellent midfielder as he got older but at Gibsons age he was far from world class
Its really not that complicated!!!
Just watched the game. Very competent performance against the German Champions on their own patch. He hit team mates with mostly all of his passes and showed neat close control on a few occasions. Scholes influence on him is developing
Ah yes but its this type of consistency we need in Gibsons game
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

disagree. Andrews showed in the two France games how strong he can be as a combative midfielder. Remember, he's still very new to the international game!
Folding my way into the big money!!!
He still has a lot to work on, but I think there was more to like rather than be critical of from tonight's performance. I think a player can develop a bit more composure over time, but you can't teach a player to spray the ball around like he was doing in phases today.
It's just a matter of him developing that sort of consistent play over the course of a full game, but I think this can come with matches.
How do you think he'd do in a more advanced position, similar to the position Gerrard plays for Liverpool?
Wasn't young Scholes a striker not a midfielder?
