My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
Cant see him havin much problem gettin back into that Liverpool team, Arbeloa is a very ordinary player
Its really not that complicated!!!
Is he now? Not too bothered to be honest. The last I heard about him is that he jumped ship on us. Anyhow judging by the way Man U swept Liverpool away to-day lets hope for their sake he gets better quickly.
What's this doing on the Ireland thread since he's retired and doesn't want to play for us anymore ? Should be World Football thread
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
he is an irish international, he has as much right to be here as anyone else
John Joe o Toole, Joe Lapira and Damien Delaney
three people who actually want to play for ireland as opposed to finnan
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
He did indeed look very impressive today, doing one goal saving tackle on the line. I would think he has played himself into the team for Tuesdays match
this maybe a bit off topic but Im trying to remember when Steve Finnan ever stood out in a game for us and the only thing that really comes to mind is his cross for McAteers goal against Holland. I know hes a top player and most of his Irish career he was played out of position but no game that he showed his full class really comes to mind for me.
Its really not that complicated!!!
The thing is he rarely stand out, but if you were to rewatch his performances, he's very rarely come up against someone who continuously beats him and he is usually solid in games (the exception being Cyprus away). He just does the simple things well and very rarely has a man of the match performance.

Id like to mention the name of Denis Irwin here. He rarely had a game where he stood out but he was always a dependable as they come. him and Finnan are very similar. Put it this way, how many games do you remember Finnan having a howler ala John O'Shea or Ian Harte.
Didn't Finnan supply the long ball for Niall Quin to head down for Robbie
Keane to smash past the German Keeper?
This is it

Anyway Finnan is retired
It was Finnan, says so in the link 90(+2) mins, I remembered it as being Finnan,
he has always had the ability to deliver a ball as he shows time and
time again for Liverpool, but I don't remember too many (other than that one)
for Ireland.
It might have looked like a long hoof forward, but I am pretty sure he meant it,
I seem to remember him looking up, I guess he was aiming for Quinns head.
Anyway he it is on video.

Also on here, I think the first one has the aspect ratio messed up, looks
like a 4:3 image has been stretched to 16:9 so it looks more like a cross
than a long ball forward.

Most of the clips barely show Finnan.
