Totally unprofessional if true.

Then again have any of us been privy to recent positive discussions between the player and our manager?

To be fair SSL is no where near upto full speed in terms of match fitness and sharpness to play at International level at present.
A long injury takes more than just healing for a player to get back, he needs games, only then will we and he know if he can get back into the squad.

If not then, so be it, that doesn't mean you walk away (or limp) from Ireland
It's in your blood, and you always back the Boys in Green.

Never say never in football my friends!

He did. Said he had his '22' but there's a 'Blank Space'. 'Everything Has Changed' with the RoI squad.

Good man Stutts, do your Dad dance there.

I was thinking to myself that one would be lost on you. You probably heard Never Ever Ever before but don't realise, it would be like Ferguson and keane getting back together, it will ...... happen.

Do you mean Jules Holland or Judge Jools

Surely the first was your time, and you can remember his name? YOu always remember Tony Fenton on the hotline and you were also a regular caller to the Just a minute quiz, luckily for you and your family the embarrassment was saved by the fact you couldn't answer the preliminary question to get on the show.

If he keeps his Eyes Open, he should see the Blank Space on the pitch where danger looms and if he picks up a knock he should be able to Shake It Off. One thing’s for sure, his international career won’t end like Andy ‘Tears on My Guitar’ Reid's, and maybe – just maybe – someday he’ll be able to say to Ciaran Clarke: ‘You Belong With Me’ at the heart of the Irish defense.

Whooooooooossssshhh!

In fairness, it's not the first time a casual load of old balls went over Sledge's head... Need to record a few new tracks onto your mixtapes, Doc (just bringing it back to a more familiar era for Stutts!)

Ha ha, hold my hands up, I got done like a kipper there!

I should of known All Too Well, still no Bad Blood, from me.

Let's Begin Again this time with my Eyes Open, think this post will Haunt me for a while.

At least Tayls can help me Shake it off like last time in NY when the Sparks did fly!

Nice one fellas!

**DannyInvincible** · 08/04/2015, 3:28 PM

I found impossible to tell EG was joking because he didn't have the decency to at least embolden the song titles too along with their italicisation and capitalisation. Bad form, EG! There'll be no flies on me next time!

**Eminence Grise** · 08/04/2015, 3:42 PM

Ah, Danny, we wouldn't have reeled in the Doc if I hadn't been subtle

!

**SkStu** · 08/04/2015, 4:04 PM

Taylor approves.

**colonelwest** · 08/04/2015, 9:15 PM

Fair play to Sledge if he's getting in there to be fair, if he's lucky she'll have a song about him on her next album seeming as all she does is sing about her exes!

**Colbert Report** · 13/04/2015, 12:34 AM

Unused sub today against the Portland Timbers of MLS. Five years ago we were talking about this guy as a potential cornerstone of the national team, now he is unable to make a pub team in America. Sad really.

**DeLorean** · 13/04/2015, 9:03 AM

Yeah but a month ago he didn't even have a pub team, baby steps and all that.

**paul_oshea** · 13/04/2015, 9:33 AM

Is anyone else getting the "NR Experiment" add appearing on the site now? Its a bit inappropriate when speaking/writing about Derry and a big derriere is sticking up and out in front of you, at work.

Well according to the so-called barstool experts the MLS is a pub league just like Ligue 1

Personally I think the level is alright. About Championship standard.

SSL had the chance to move to the MLS about a year ago, maybe he should have moved then. I can understand why but too many British based players think the world ends at the white cliffs of Dover.

**ifk101** · 13/04/2015, 10:20 AM

Would say the Championship is a level above the MLS but all subjective.

What sort of a contract is the doc on with Orlando? Seems odd Orlando signed the doc only to subsequently bring in a loan to play in his position. Presumably it's just short-term?

When it rains it pours!

Totally agree, the MLS will never get better with the restrictions the MLS has in place.

The standard is awful, despite all the glitz and hype it's not even L1 standard.

Even more worrying that SSL can't even get into a glorified pub team, but if the manager keeps picking or gets told to play other players then nothing much he can do.

He made the MLS Pub team of the week a few weeks back only to be put back onto the bench the next game despite being fit and on fire in training.

How the mighty have fallen!

Enjoy your gloating 😢

Don't worry Sean, just gives you more time to spend on foot.ie.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, most people have a lot of time for Sean and take no pleasure in his current or recent predicaments. You're just an easy target for a laugh due to your elevation of his footballing ability to messianic proportions.

You are to SSL what TOWK is not to Robbie.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 20/04/2015, 2:06 AM

Ah for FFS.

Robbie Keane has been a fantastic servant for Ireland and has been one of the best 11 Irish players in Premier League history. He has also, largely, been ****e for Ireland over the last 2 and a bit years.

I can reconcile the two things.
