Come off it! Judging from your post, your the one talking complete bollocks!

Come on, he was absolutely desperate as a player, total and utter rubbish for Ireland. There has never been another player that's played for Ireland that's even come close to being as bad as him. Terrible player, worse than mediocre striker, absolute waste of space and I really could never figure out how he even got a spot in the Ireland team.

I take it you've never seen Paul McShane play then?

Packie Bonner for me. Irish Legend but he did my head in when he was on tv3

Reminded me a bit of this guy.

If I hear Ray houghton say 'he has got to do better than that' or 'shoud have at least made the goalkeeper work there' one more time I swear, I won't be held responsible.

All I keep thinking is 'hold on a second mate, why is your scoring record only good at best if you never made mistakes in front of goal?'

A million times this. Came into the thread just to mention his name...for someone who played as much football as he did he shows an amazing lack of understanding of the game.

Cascarino...yea he's a bit of a plonker.

Cascarino now declares himself to be a professional gambler because he has the money to enter some low key poker events. hes a amatuer player and an even worse poker player and will do nothing but donate to the poker and gambling world.

Cant believe nobody mentioned Pat Dolan yet, totally irratating - on level par with Cascarino imo

How Cascarino can still walk around Ireland without stones being thrown at him is beyond me.

I feel almost embarrassed for keown and lennon on that tv3 panel. Cascarino NEVER lets them talk or finish what there talking about. Its like a holier than thou attitude. LOOK AT ME IM ON TV, I WAS SH1TE AS A PLAYER, LIED TO THE IRISH PUBLIC, BUT I NO EVERYTHING!!!!!

Complete and utter cnut.

Don't forget he was arrested for beating his wife couple of days after calling Roy Keane a bully (when he left Sunderland). The irony was delicious

Why, was she a bully?

bit of a bogey

Imagine a panel of dunphy, dolan, and roddy collins! Now that would be entertaining!

I only wish I was as bad at the game as he is

UnitedIrishman

Played against him in poker once in Galway. He's actually ten times better than he was at football in fairness.

kryogen

+1 he is by no means a great player but he isnt anything near the worst celeb i have played with

Cascarino is a good poker player.

Sheringham called Andy Townsend a fake Irishman on live tv.

In fairness, he was right like!

Nothing annoyed me more than when Townsend in his hayday went on Kenny Live (I think) and told the whole country about how during Euro '88, he was on holiday in Cyprus (I think) and on the day of the Ireland -v- England match, he went into a pub to watch the game and it was full of Irish people and he and his mate were the ony 2 people there who were....shouting for England!

Enraged me!

He's never have been called up again after that if I'd had my way...never mind as captain!

Jigga

I've a funny story about Andy Townsend. my brother works with his brother and he was telling him the first game Andy was a pundit for ITV he had a list of notes that he wrote down during the first half to say at half time. The other pundit there (Terry venables I think it was) asked could he have a look at his notes which Andy gave him. Then for the half-time analysis Venables just said exactly what Andy had written, when the prsenter asked townsend for his anaylsis he was speechless. i thought it was hilarious

DrumSteve

has to be paddy crerand. that **** is so blinkered he should be running at aintree rather than commentating on games.

BigBenRoeth

Am I the only person who gets infuriated when The MOTD pundits,Soccer Saturday Pundits etc. ALWAYS referring to Jimmy Bullard as a "Cheeky Chappy"?

actually i agree, logistically it would be hard to get everyone int he same place at the same time i reckon, but an online sit n go would be easier to arrange

plenty of poker heads in the soccer forum so should have no trouble with numbers for a "friendly game"

could even do teams lol

CHD

Would have to be online. Someone organize it!

sign name if interested

Cas was a deeply average footballer, his 88 caps are merely a symptom of us having barely any decent strikers over the last 20 years.

And he is an irritating pundit, there is something very smug and all-knowing about him

However, I read his book a long time ago, thought it was ok actually

Esse85

Comes across as a bitter man.

JerryHandbag

I have his autograph...made my childhood, that little scribble. I'll never forget his 2 headers against Lithuania in 1997.

A poor mans Niall Quinn though.
