    So was this a prediction of Ireland not playing well or not being recognised for playing well?

    The latter. Last season he played really well a number of times and was still getting slated.

    On the City forum I use we dug out a thread from about a year ago. Some people were left with very red faces -
    Never rated him and laughed when people liken him to Liam Brady.

    Championship player , put him in the reserves till summer then get rid.
    Been saying he's average at best since I first saw him. Could never understand what all the fuss was about.

    Today's performance was just another typical Ireland performance.

    I still reckon we could get £6M from Sunderland for him though.
    turns out he really is **** after all. never make it as a prem league player.
    I have to admit he is as much use as a cock flavored lollypop. Shame he keeping geo out of the side

    :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    Nope I backed him to the hilt and I have the posts to prove it. There's been some lovely gloating going on recently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    In fairness though, if Ireland hadn't have bulked up during the summer like he did, it's doubtful he would have made the same impact. Fair play to him for doing so.

    It's crazy to think that this time last year we were talking about him going to Sunderland.
