As usual, any time Shels are in the news people go over the top. Ollie Byrne farts and its a bid for world domination.
Pablo, put yourself back to when you were a fifteen year old kid. Or rather, look forward to the time when you will be fifteen. Wouldn't you give your eye teeth to get a chance to play for United? What kid wouldn't? At least at United, he'd be in professional hands. Or do you think the Shels academy will develop him more than Uniteds?
Every year, cross channel clubs come across and invite our young fellers over. Should we feel pure hatred towards Cobh for daring to sell Keane to Forest? Or Belveder? Or Cherry Orchard? Or Pats for selling Paul McGrath? But Shels? Oh, yeah, scum of the earth.
Would you deny a kid the opportunity to become the next Beckham or Giggs and come up through the academy? Even if he doesn't make it, he'll still benefit from the experience. Look at Kevin Doherty. Injury ****ed him up at Liverpool, but now he's one of the most accomplished defenders in the league.
