I dont think Stephen will not FADE from the team, sure he is a SPIKEy character but he wont allow himself to be UNDERCUT by his teamates.

His absence wont be PERMantent, I am sure he will STRAIGHTen this out

New FIFA Directive that each team must play at least 3 follicly challenged individuals. So that Stephen won't be the the only Sham poohed.

after watching some of match of the day tonight, low and behold, our man stevie ireland was playing from the start for man city....
ffs... i had a lot of sympathy for what he had went through and never questioned the lad before. however, these sympathies are up in smoke after seeing him play for an city today.
i can not now trust what this wig wearing little lad has to say these days. feel terrible for even suggesting it but now even question his excuses for fecking off after the bratislava game. am sorry for questioning such a terrible event in a couples lives, but after observing the last 6 weeks actions of the lad, i find it hard to believe a word from his mouth.
a real pity as i think he is a good footballer.

There'll be wigs on the green over this!

I very much doubt that anyone who calls themselves Daddy Dick has self esteem issues as well

I am pulling out my hair over this one. Ah well, hair today. Gone tomorrow.

**jjppc** · 21/10/2007, 12:01 PM

Who were the players who allegedly held him down ? My guess is Steve Thinin and Shave Given

Stephen Hunt with a great piece of advice for the man formerly known as Stephen Ireland today in relation to his 'personal problems',

He's got his own problems and he's got to deal with it, but only Stephen Ireland can deal with it and that's it. We've all had hard childhoods and he has to be a man. He's playing in the big boys' world now and it's difficult.

**GuisaSaigon** · 21/10/2007, 12:49 PM

His popularity with the fans appears to be receding.

**carloz** · 21/10/2007, 12:55 PM

Fair dues to Hunt. He said that he gets more abuse about his hair than any guy in the squad but he takes it like a man. Ireland seems like a very ****ed up individual if something that silly would make him question playing for his country

I'm not an apologist for Ireland, but these words of wisdom from the great psychotherapist in the team seem il conceived to say the least.

Is this the same guy crying about his brother not being picked for the US tour, welcome to the big boys world.

Also Hunt can do something about his hair!

I'd have to agree with Hunt. Everybody has their own problems but you have to set them aside and get on with things. Strong characters tend to get on in football, as in life, and hopefully Ireland will learn to deal with his problems and come back all the stronger for it.

Gotta love Hunt's straightup attitude in this time of Sky's gloss. Very refreshing.

mmm. except in the olden days he would have stuck by his team mate & never talked to the media this way.

If anything he is appears a product of the sky generation, all to keen to share his views....

He's from Cork.. nough said

Jason McAteer should be brought in to sort out "Hair Gate".

He appeared in a TV ad in his crusade against the scourge of dandruff and problem hair in general.

"If theres ONE thing that Jason won't tolerate - its problem hair"

**OwlsFan** · 22/10/2007, 1:40 PM

That's a hair brained idea!!

**galwayhoop** · 23/10/2007, 12:14 PM

if steven hunt really cared he would offer to cut his own hair so steve ireland could use it to make a wig. problem solved. ireland doesn't get slagged off for going bald and hunt has a nice neat hair cut.
