Ever heard of a certain Pat McCourt ? Only probably the trickiest player on the island.....

quote ... yes but only when it suits him.. he is to overated at time
when he can produce same level of performance game after game maybe then

So this rumour came from a guy on another forum who thinks he might have heard it on the radio?

**Dodge** · 09/07/2007, 1:44 PM

Possibly

Oh and BTW Shane Robinson was by far the player of the tournament. You'd have to be pretty biased not to have Alan Kirby in any reckoning

He's been consistent this season - even whilst playing for a team that's lost its way.

That's him when you said the name it clicked in the brain. Very impressed when I saw him playing in the Setanta. There's not enough Irish League football on TV, I agree with that point made in another thread . The idea of a Setanta Cup All Star XI is quite good on another level. It would be the first time a team representing all parts of the Island of Ireland has played since the famous 1973 game which was brought back into the mind by the sad death of Derek Dougan recently. And given it would be from League teams ,( i.e. IL and ELOI) some non -Irish would get to play in the side too.
