No Duff?

Ermmm maybe ive missed something or have been living in a bubble the last couple of months but why is Damien Duff not on Ireland team sheet for the upcoming games? :rolleyes:

The same reason for him not being in the Newcastle team since the start of the year :rolleyes:...Knee injury, I do believe

EDIT: I stand corrected by me peers here. It's an ankle injury and not the start of the year buit more like since April or so!

Pretty impressive bubble you've been in , he's out with an injured ankle.

I know, I thought its time to burst it now and expand my question - since no Duff - Is Stephen Hunt an adequate replacement? - I know he is good but is he that good? I now have to re examine my thoughts on the upcoming games - downward I think:( Or perhaps the Reading lads will come good? Im confuzzled now

back when it happened there was word he wouldnt make any more of the qualifiers, dont know if this is still the case though...kinaldo oh man of Newky knowledge?

Id say Hunt is the man for the job alright, I think he'd do ok, he's no duffer, but he's still full of pace effort and directness, but you never know with Stan. Wouldnt be surprised to see Zinedine K start out left

This hardly needed a new thread did it? At this stage I thought most Ireland fans would realise that if Damien Duff isn't in the squad or team, its due to injury... Obviously I was wrong.

His godliness is worthy of a new thread :mad:





Well, maybe a tad OTT in retrospect but, hey, at least I got to open it:rolleyes:

Mr Alan

yea i reckon hunt is a good replacement for him

Kilbane will definitely start v Slovakia.

Despite the numerous faces interjected into your post - I have to strongly disagree with you on that one.

Whos this Shea Given? Some kind of Shay Given/John O Shea halfbreed?:D

Losing Duff is no huge loss in my opinion. He simply isn't the player he used to be. I'd be more than happy with A. Reid on the left wing and McGeady on the right.
