    Huth scored direct with a header last week in the FA Cup against West Ham. I was just thinking while watching it how Dunne or Sledge would be fantastic for getting on the end of those throws. A shame Delap never got a chance under Trap. I think we'd all love to see one of those throw-ins cause havoc against one of the big international teams.

    That goal was a thing of sheer beauty. It just couldn't have been more simple. Long, flat, powerful throw. Header. Goal.

    Rory gets a 1 year extension at Stoke. Called a charitable man off the field, and well deserved in the words of his manager.
    In a related story, Delap creeps up Tets's depth chart by 1 space to 10th at his position. Congrats, Deli.

    Seems to be the first name on the teamsheet for Pulis, contract now until 2013. Feel trap should give him a look given how far ahead of Wilson and Whelan he is for his club.

    Personally I see him as a great bench option to use if we're chasing games.

    Well, whatever about his technical ability, I've always been impressed with his athleticism and obviously his attitude. Will do literally anything to help his team win, great team player.

    A proper athlete and good guy, no doubt. I thought he'd be able to do a decent if not spectacular job in CM for us, but the degree to which he was outclassed in the FA Cup final has finally nailed that idea in my mind.

    Always felt he was well worth inclusion at Full back for Ireland from as far back as 06/07.

    He's further testament to the theory that Irish footballers - like women, buildings and politicians - get respectable with age.

    If he'd have been re-introduced to the squad 4 or 5 years ago he'd be an official "Legend" by now.

    talk about selecting the wrong headline in that "story"...

    50 words about Delap and he gets the headline! Call him up!

    Do you guys think of 'Rory' as a girls name at this point? I feel like it is one of those names like Dylan that has evolved into a girls name...

    Rory. No.

    Roree, Rori. Sure. Whatever you want. But I wouldn't rush to call my kid that. Just asking for trouble.

    It's kind of like all the women out there now called Fergus that you never saw before.

    Gilmore girls was a good show! So was Everwood before it got the hook.
    But seriously there are tons of female Dylans and Rory's here anyway.

    I've always thought Rory seemed like she was playing "real life". You know when you get that feeling, when you would do anything- ya i know that feeilng- to bone her

    A bit like kevin heffernan/Jay Chandrasekhar movies.

    One of my pet irrational hates is second names as girls' names. McKenzie, Madison, Bailey... Grr!
