    I'm kinda queasy wondering what he stuck the ring on to in case he lost it... Kinda funny, though, keeping the fiancee's jewels close to, well, the family jewels...

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    He played for Ireland a few times, dont really remember him to be honest, does he still play football, perhaps in his own head.

    a nothing story in fairness. Not sure why the reference to the drink driving campaign by Barry Bannan? Seems a bit unneccessary.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    It makes perfect sense once you realise it's the Daily Mail you've been reading.

    A complete non story. Fair play to the lad if he wants to smoke shisha and have a few drinks over Christmas when injured. What's the problem?

    There does seem to be a tendency among Irish fans, to castigate or criticise Stephen Ireland at every occasion and a huge element of schadenfraude, when it appears he is out of form. This annoys me.

    Stephen Ireland was relevant to me as an Irish fan in the 6 games he played for us and he did extremely well in those 6 games. He doesn't play for us anymore. I wish him the best with his career but he is about as relevant as Stilian Petrov or James Collins or any other Villa player, whose not eligible to play for us.

    Footballers should be role models and allowing a picture to be published of himself smoking shisha is disgraceful. This guy is a real toss pot. He is a prime example of everything that is wrong with modern day footballers.

    As regards his appearances for Ireland, his effort in Cyprus was hardly good.

    Shisha is flavoured tobacco. And its not illegal. I really don't see the issue.

    He scored 4 goals in 6 games for Ireland.

    Oh and of course, he was the sole reason was lost 5-2 in Cyprus.

    He was a very good attacking midfielder in a team that had a soft centre in midfield. He contributed in both respects.

    Dumb picture to put up. Looks like a vain nobhead quite frankly. I don't like him or his attitude and as Tony Soprano might say, he's dead to me.

    He's a gob****e but this is a complete non-story. As for being a role model - he's a young man who takes care of his kids. There are a lot worse things he could do than have a cheeky smoke.

    I agree with FT. He hasn't done anything illegal. Why should footballers in particular be role models anyway? What exactly does that mean and from where does the apparent responsibility arise? They're private citizens like anyone else; not public servants.

    He's in the public eye, courts publicity and regularly looks like a jerk, therefore it's fine for people here to say he looks like a jerk.
