  1. Agree warnock should go now

    I'd be happy to see baker, clark or delph fill in while enda plugs the hole in the stiffs

    Honestly mate you do talk crap.

    Warnock has been one of our best players this season. Do you watch the same games that I do?

  2. It was a prediction, but I guess you're right! I've watched Enda Stevens play, but never saw Mickey Boulding!!

    Who was that against?

    I was over in Dublin at the end of October, start of November and took in 2 Shmarock games, which where both at home, one against Galway and a Euro game against PAOK, he didn't play in the Galway game but played in the PAOK game. He was pretty poor I have to say, and to say that he's not an automatic first choice in that league, or even team, all I can say is I'd be very suprised if he managed to establish himself in a premiership side. Yes, he is young, but I just can't see anything happening. I'd love to be proved wrong mind!!

    It just strikes me as the Mickey Boulding scenario, lots of discussion, lots of debate, but we never saw him play, and I'm thinking the same will happen here. But like I say, would love to be proved wrong.

    Yep, I agree. You watched 2 games on a holiday. :lol:

    Okay, fair points, and I'll re-iterate that i'd love it if he makes me eat my own words in a few years time. But let's not get excited because he won the PFAI young player of the year award, which has been won by premiership quality players such as Daryl Murphy, Conor Powell, Wes Hoolahan, Eamon Zayed and Celtic winger Pat McCourt. McCourt being the only real excpetion as being a player who has done well since.... It's good we're taking a punt on a young player, and good luck to him, hopefully he'll be one for the future..... However, none of the players on that little list above and looking down the full list of winners on Wikipedia even remotely arouse my excitement, so therefore I'll stick with my guns, having seen him play in person, and on the telly, backed up by the pedigree of football we're getting him from, really doesn't excite me one bit! I'm not writing him off, but I just can't really get excited!

    Now Enda, if you're reading this, ram that post down my throat!

    Fair play mate. I just hate people putting a man down because he came from an inferior league.

    Chris Smalling was playing park football 5 years ago and now he is supposedly the future for United. Just give the lad a chance.

  3. The disturbing thing is that we create those boys to become like this. We praise them, hype them, sometimes even worship them, and they're paid ridiculous money even as youngsters. It's not really strange that some of them end up like this.

    Good post and I absolutely agree. Its us fans that pay these mugs such inflated salaries.

    Edit - Please do not repeat the factually incorrect statement that has been removed. We have millionaires begging ordinary people to buy them a £13 pizza just because "They don't know who I am".

    Its ridiculous. Someone has to draw the line some where. Its us fans getting mugged off paying £30-40 a week, out of our weekly wage which in average is probably no more than £300 a week.

  5. There is a team in the Northern Irish league called Glentoran who refused to sign George Best because he was too small and not good enough against big defenders.

    I'm not saying Enda will be one of the best players of all time, but FFS give the lad a chance, rather than watching 2 games against Spurs.

  6. he is coming from the equivelant of Boldmere St Michael

    more like the equivalent of signing from Walsall

    :D don't be ridiculous, it's actually non-league level, it's honestly that bad

    really not except for last night they didnt get hammered in their other 5 games and not many non-league or even Premier League teams for that matter would win in Belgrade or draw with Juventus

    i'm talking about the whole league in general....

    Aye, the same league McGrath, Roy Keane, Robbie Keane, Doyle came from?

    Get a grip pal and stop playing Football Manager. You constantly post like you are some scout for Real Madrid, when in reality you are just like everyone else here.

    Unless you have qualifications ie UEFA / Fifa badges for the crap you talk?

    EDIT: Roy Keane played for a team now in the Irish 3rd division.

  7. Enda looks a bit of a walking yellow card from what I've seen

    A typically aggressive Irish full back/terrier

    And I take that is the whole 2 games against Spurs? Ignore the other 30 that made him Young Player Of The Year, eh?

  8. Paul McGrath got dogs abuse after one of his first / worst performances for Manchester United.

    Robbie Keane wasn't exactly fantastic when he started at Wolves after moving from Crumlin in his first 4 games.

    Whatever happened to those guys?

    God forbid Villa sign the Young Player Of The Year from Ireland.

    The people putting Enda down and already writing him off are probably the same people that would have put Cheik Tiote down if they knew we were signing him from Twente. :yawn:
