"Football is a game you play with your brain".
I think we should just leave Stephen Kelly at right back. Finnan is a great player, but Kelly is our future in that position.
Quoting years at random since 1975
So he's now "in discussions" about returning......
Has the man's ego got no bounds?
Disgusting.
I wouldn't let him near the ground as a spectator never mind near the pitch.
Quite appropriate for Trap and Finnan to meet for a chat.
If there is one player who no one can begrudge discussing what role he would play in the qualification games, it's Steve Finnan.
While the fans were fobbed with the repeated excuse of accommodation,
Finnan was one of the most fécked around players we have had on our panel in the last 5 or 6 years.
If anyone has the right just to be 100% sure the insanity won't continue, it's Finnan.
In fact Trap should bring a note of sympathy from the fans to Finnan about the abuse to the "meaning of football" he had to bear witness to and endure.
what must the likes of mcgrath, moran and frank stapleton et al think of all this? they squeezed every last min out of their international careers while receiving the palty sum of £200 per game for doing so not all that long ago. now some players need to negotiate a return! good ridence i say
Who says anything about negotiating a return.
That language was not used by Trap or Finnan.
You know nothing about this supposed meeting between Steve Finnan and Trap.
there is no doubt that finnan was messed about and undervalued by our recent managers maybe even more by kerr than staunton
He retired AFTER staunton had gone, this "he was messed about" is a weak excuse, I'll take him back as I believe it will improve our chances but I'm tired of all the excuses being made for this this guy, money was obviously the main factor in his retirement but now that he has lost his place at Liverpool it has changed things and returning to Ireland may now be benificial to him
I agree with you on that he's one of the better players we can choose from and has been used on the right wing and playing with some waful players and systems. Kerr and Staunton especially played some nice lose the ball football. If others here want to go back to the days when Moran and Stapo wore it with pride thats a fair point but one that is sadly removed from football nowadays. I'd talke Finnan back in a flash
With a squad made up of players like Green, McShocking and Kilbad we are going places. Down the gutter.........
so if all say 50 players capable of representing us wanted a meeting before playing?
if he had great desire to play then one meeting would be excessive but two or more???!!!! hardly smacks of great desire so id say "mind reading" that he does not have great desire to play for us would be reasonable enough
Steve Finnan retired from International duty.
He made a long thought out considered decision that he would not be a part of the next qual campaign.
It's been a few months since he made that decision.
Who said Finnan wanted a meeting?
It is more evident that Trap asked to see him.
Before anybody mentions Dean Kiely, did Dean Kiely have to have a meeting?
Kiely was retired for years, had plenty of time to review his decision.
You do not know anything about what you persist in writing about.if he had great desire to play then one meeting would be excessive but two or more???!!!! hardly smacks of great desire so id say "mind reading" that he does not have great desire to play for us would be reasonable enough
Strange then with the weight of importance that you put on your interpretation of desire that you would at the same time vote yes for the unconditional return of Stephen Ireland, a player who walked out and spurned many a return with a different excuse each time.
Finnan has been totally upfront with his decision to retire and most fans would welcome a chat between Finnan and Trap over his decision to retire.
No, you could be right he might be using the "meeting" as a false flag or he could be using it as a bargaining tool i.e. Ill come back on the condition that you want me to play where I want, which is fair enough given he was never played in his preferred position for years.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
i made that vote quite a while ago when i was willing to give a lad of SI age the benefit of the doubt but since he has not returned to the squad for our last two friendlies i have changed my view and would no longer want him to return
i would love steve finnan to play for us but at this stage hes had enough opportunity to change his mind
