Long eyes starting berth.

This would be interesting, not sure if it would be a good move or not!

Interesting, I just had to check to that Reading were in fact promoted which they were, I see they have four Irish on their
books, Harte, N Hunt, J Tabb and a Karl Sheppard (21, Don't recall a thread on him).

I look forward to seeing them on TV in the new season, and also Shane, although I think he will be staying out, but who knows what
might happen?

West Brom have signed both Rosenberg and Lukaku on loan this transfer window, can't see Long having any future there given that he was struggling to get starts as it was with only Fortune and Odemwinge in his way.

Horrible penalty there by Long, run up directly behind the ball and just rolled it right at Reina right down the middle. He did win the penalty as well.

**SkStu** · 18/08/2012, 3:20 PM

He did win it though...

To Quote Jeff Stelling ,the worst penalty of the season so far

**Charlie Darwin** · 18/08/2012, 3:20 PM

A fit Long would have scored that

**theworm2345** · 18/08/2012, 3:21 PM

Just won another off Skrtel, won't take it though.

**SkStu** · 18/08/2012, 3:24 PM

The bbc updates are hinting that both penalties were a bit soft...??

2nd was a soft one to give away, for sure, but I definitely thought it was the right call, Skrtel definitely caught him.

Gave Skrtel and Agger the runaround today. Barton and Melchiot raving about his performance after the game. Here we have an Irish player playing well against the type and quality of defenders we are going to face in the qualifiers and either Cox or Keane will start ahead of him.

**tricky_colour** · 18/08/2012, 5:05 PM

was looking for his penno and found this

A batman fan so something in common with James Holmes.

**DannyInvincible** · 18/08/2012, 5:31 PM

The peno: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos...m-v-liverpool/

Very poorly hit. I'm a bit ambivalent about even the "good" penalties down the centre.

Tinfoil hat on too tight today?

**Noelys Guitar** · 19/08/2012, 3:08 AM

LOL. Hates the fact that Long not only started but had a stormer. You made up a story about an Irish team Doctor/Physio and got called on it. What a prat. I admitted I'm speculating. Could be wrong could be right.

ha ha ha ha. Long went for a scan you goon, it's not even a discussion its literally factual and in every report that he was sent for a scan before the game. You're starting to get paranoid now that everyone else hates Long or something too it seems? At least its not just Trap but the world is out to get him.
