for someone who genuinely thought he would never play again, nevermind at this level, it's a wonderful day for him.

Hopefully he has a stormer though !

Fixed your post Rarnes. Fair play to you lads. I'm delighted for Owen Hargreaves. If he kicks on from here and is fit for the rest of the season, that is a huge boost for the squad.

Even if he just stands in the middle of the pitch and hits the frees and corners Ill be happy

sofireland

I must say my jaw hit the ground. I'm delighted for the man, cmon Hargreaves

Eh WTF....why are they showing live rugby on the eircom setanta feed instead of buildup to this game? Am I seeing things?!

nicklauski

Lads, anyone know if eircom.net is showing this. It says on the site it is, but it's showing Wales v Aus in the rugby!?

token56

I am absolutely delighted for Hargreaves. I can't even imagine what this must mean for him personally. I'm sure he has been to hell and back and this is no more than he deserves.

Welcome back Hargreaves!

Rubgy is on Setanta Ireland. United are on Setanta Sports 1.

Havet osay was quite taken aback when I see nthe team as awhole not just the Hargreaves inclusion.
Its a gamble but he's given these young players time on the pitch now and this is when they gotta go out and prove it!

park and brown should do well to cover jarvis and make chances for the team.
Evra on the left wing should offer great linkup with obertan and chicharito plenty of pace on the attackign side if hargreaves and fletch can get some dominant running going.

MagicMarker

Ugh, got so caught up in the Hargreaves news that I didn't really look at the rest of the team...... me no likey.

ah yeah

in all seriousness though, i'm sure he thought a fair few times he'd never play again.

whether he played for Utd, Everton, Liverpool or Brian Cowen Athletic i'd be delighted for the man.

i hope's he's as shíte as Traoré, don't get me wrong, but to play again's a pretty decent story.

me-skywalker

any links for this?

Jax Teller

Great to see hargo back . Are we expecting much from him ?

Quandary

You have to be an eircom broadband customer though. I cancelled my Setanta subscription because of this

The first thing I will look to see is his pace. I wonder has he lost much of it due to the injuries. After that, one driving run, one great tackle, and a great free kick would do me just fine

Cypher_sounds

Great to have a quality midfielder like Hargreaves back in the team, like a new signing for us, hopefully he will get through the game without picking up any fresh injury.

Oh, and it doesn't support chrome so try to use it in IE or Firefox

nicklauski

Jaysis, I'm actually proper nervous for Hargreaves

Quandary

If Hargreaves manages to come back and cement a place in the first team after such a horrible 2 years it will have to go down as one of the great great footballing comebacks!

In the words of Keegan - "I WILL LOVE IT!"

EDIT - i know its a big IF

AWESOME header by Hargreaves there

Jax Teller

nullzero

Already injured?

Quandary

Gutted

Cypher_sounds

Mitch Connor

Hargo injured already... I am shocked. Didn't see that one coming.

PHB

Oh that's very sad

Nailz

mike65

Why is anyone surprised? (and thats not having a pop) The lad is never going to play football again.

Spud83

nullzero

That's probably Hargreaves finished now, awful shame.

Peyton Manning

That's really upsetting

Looks like hamstring maybe, which is a bit encouraging.

sprinkles

What happened to him. Missed the first 5 mins

ShaneU

5 minute cameo, sad to see
