stunning similarity

[Supreme feet]

This topic is going nowhere, it seems to be confusing Ireland's current fragile mental state with his footballing ability, whether the team needs him or not, whether he values club over country, how he's contributed (or not) to the disastrous qualifying campaign... This forum is supposed to be an exchange of ideas between people who care about the fortunes of the Irish Senior International Team, not an opportunity for people to express their resentment...

Coming soon on foot.ie, Stephen Ireland denies the Holocaust. Stephen Ireland took orders from the CIA to be one of the 9/11 hijackers. Stephen Ireland has enriched uranium for the Unionists...

I was talking about this thread to one of my mates earlier on - he said;

'Those arguments are like the Special Olympics. You can win, but you're still a r****d.'

I won't be back on here for a while, simply because of this ludicrous thread, and the non-direction it's taking, based on no real evidence. I support the Irish soccer team with all my heart, and if we really need this young player in the future, and if he can assist the team's effort in any way, I will welcome him back wholeheartedly. I'm not going to hold a grudge over this absolute non-event.

It's the same points over and over again. This thread has gone as far as it can IMO and should be closed now.

'Those arguments are like the Special Olympics. You can win, but you're still a r****d.'

Old joke man, was funny the first few times but if you are going to make fun of the mentally challenged then it seems a tad hypocritical to take the moral high horse here.

Anyway there is nothing else to really talk about what with Ireland being virtually eliminated with 3 games to go so I say let people bitch and let off steam if they want to, if this thread doesn't appeal to you then don't read it, I'm not going to hold a grudge against S.Ireland but I do think that he shouldn't be considered again for an Ireland squad until he shows he has matured

[Lim till i die]

When backed against the wall you can't even come out with anything else.

LMFAO

It's all so pathetic at your end

Frankly:

He's still happy to play with Man City

Is a far stronger argument than any of the theories about supposed personal problems any of the plastic hammer wavers on here have came out with.

Theories which given my family background* I have found fairly dispicable and borderline sick. But shur what else do you expect from ill informed, leprecaun suit wearing chimps who are always, always willing to give the benefit of the doubt to their heros by adding two and two together to get five

A lot of the posts on here have made me sick and they're not the ones giving out about Stephen Ireland

Victory is sweet

If you consider the $hite you've trotted about to be some kind of victory when any unbiased person with eyes to see can see what a sick little $hit the lad is, then I actually pity you

Lim till I die,

For someone who seems to hate the Irish international team you appear to have a serious interest in the (mis)fortunes of our players.

Misfortune

Why bother posting on this supporters forum?

I'm a big football fan

I'm interested in all facets of football.

If there was an England forum I'd post in that.

Ditto an Italy one

Ditto a France one etc etc etc...................

Why is your signature concerning the teams woeful display in san marino?

Partially because I was gutted that San Marino had a point nicked from them at the death.

And partially to let you people know where you stand

Whats that all about if you don't support the team?

I'm entitled to my opinion same as the next man.

What a boring world it would be if we only commented on things we had a vested interest in??

Do you 'not support' Ireland ahead of all other football interests?

LMFAO

I could name you ten teams of the top of my head that I care about more than the Oirish national side.

And what is this 'Oirish' shyte? thats the sort of stuff Sun/Mail hacks use when ripping the pis$ out of the 'micks'.

This is not a personal attack but in my experience I've found the average ole, ole-er is a big thick moron, with a tight Celtic top, a plastic hammer and a drinking problem. They follow British clubs, haven't a clue about football and don't represent me.

The Oirish team also in no way represents me.

I must also acknowledge that there are many thousands of decent Irish fans, many of whom post on this board. I actually feel sorry for them having to throw their lot in with the gimps









*None of anyones business on here btw, if a mod thinks any of my comments are out of line let them pm

How would you expect to be treated if you went onto an Italian or French forum and displayed such distain for their national team ?

Where have I said there is anything wrong with my treatment??

Superb point though.....Pity it wasn't relevant

Actually now that I think of it shouldn't you have locked this amateur mental health convention pages ago??

Yes it would be a boring world if we only commented on things we have a vested interest in, but if you really do want to comment on this - and you're entitled to your own opinion - then why not have an articulate debate with people instead of degrading your own argument by using phrases such as 'oirish', 'leprecaun suit wearing chimps', and stereotyping a huge number of people. You say it isn't a personal attack, but clearly it is. I'm personally in two minds about Stephen Ireland myself but I'm not going to make riciculous comments simply because it's not my place. Maybe he doesn't have major personal problems but you don't know that, no matter how much you argue that you do.

[drinkfeckarse]

rant, rant, rant

You're a very angry man Lim! That's made me laugh, honestly. Friday fun in it's truest form!

[eirebhoy]

You have no interest in the Irish national team, apparantly. It seems you don't want them to be successful. It doesn't even seem like you regard yourself as Irish. If I went onto the Welsh equivalent of this forum slagging off their fans at will I'd be banned in an instant. Because you were born in Limerick I don't think it gives you the right to ridicule us.

The vast majority of replies to this thread has been criticism for Stephen Ireland. You pick the people that are backing him and decide to call the entire "Oirish" support pathetic.

[onceahoop]

This thread is becoming like Groundhog Day. Same old crap being regurgitated endlessly. Think it's run it's course.

[Donal81]

Obviously, but not by recent foot.ie standards.

Hear hear.

[Donal81]

The miscarriage incident was a month ago, I really don't think I(or the majority of people) would be taking time off work a month later if my gf had a miscarriage, my mother had a miscarriage a long time ago a took a couple of days off work, my father didn't, I'm not saying you shouldn't take time off work if your gf had a miscarriage but taking time off after a month has passed is a bit of a stretch to say the least, I don't buy this as the reason he won't play.

Jesus. So now we're commenting on how someone should and shouldn't deal with a miscarriage. Close this thread now, please, before it descends any further. Like the other two Stephen Ireland threads that were recently closed, this has turned into a fairly squalid 'debate'. It was always heading that way, I suppose.

[Dodge]

I'm personally in two minds about Stephen Ireland myself

not unlike himself apparently

[as_i_say]

Lim>>I can only speak for myself but I post on this forum only cos I support Ireland and no English team at all or bloody celtic for that matter, and I daresay there are quite a few others on here like that.

Its also a forum for discussing the international team only and since youre not a fan or interested, sod off somewhere else.

[eirebhoy]

Think it's run it's course.

Agreed.
