Hes been class act this season.
Weso hasn't played in this league in 2 years. Was a new thread in the EL section really necessary? We talk about how good a standard our league is now,so we are we still hung up on some English 2nd division player?
Hes been class act this season.
This thread should be in the National Team forum
Saw him in the recent play off game against John Sheridan's Oldham. He was heads and shoulders (figuratively speaking) above everyone else on the field and scored a good goal. Class act.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
he's quality alright
used to be worth giving ollie €15 just to see him play. the goal he scored on sunday was magic. almost a shame he's in the playoff final. would have liked to see him play in america
Seen him in the League One playoff for Blackpool today. Had excellent game but more suited to higher standard. Only downside is he is small.
Even if he does not stay at Blackpool will surely play in at least the Championship.
He is ALWAYS a joy to watch - the most naturally talented player I have ever seen in a Shels jersey ahead of Shero and Ndo - so happy to see him do well which I always knew he would. His size doesn't matter, the ball sticks to his feet, he is like Juninho during his first Middlesbrough spell.
Was listening to it on the radio over here and they were raving about him too.
My favourite player in world football

its a pity that he felt the need to move abroad, as some would say, too early, to too low a standard. considering the attention the eL and its players have had recently from english clubs its a safe bet to say he could've just gone straight to the championship or even premiership a la Bennett/Doyle/O'Donovan/O'Callaghan had he stayed in Ireland.

One of the best players I have seen play in the Eircom League if not the best, deserves to be a successfull player. Hope to see him in the Championship or Premiership next season, think he could make it.
Cmon County!
Today was the first time I've seen him play since he was at Livingston. Played very well, he should get a call up soon enough. He's 25 tomorrow.
You need to have a team that passes the ball. Hoolohan not your tradtional winger lumping crosses in.
some of his passing was just amazing today. if parker was on his wavelength they might have got a few more. definitely good enough to play for a good championship side

He actually moved to the SPL with Livingston, when they were relegated he moved to Blackpool. Paul Tierney had made the same move shortly before. There are a fair few decent teams in League One btw. It's nice to see the eL get some respect but some folks here seem to think it plays second fiddle only to La Liga. I read an article on Ciaran Martyn who is on loan to a team in Norway, he says the standard of play there is far higher then the eL.
Not surprised to read that but in european games our top teams can give a very tough game. I think he was commenting more on the overall standard of play & facilities which would clearly be much higher.
BTW most people were very surprised with his Livingston move & he is much too good for League One.
