Eh??
What I said. Houllier publically slated Ireland, and I think that is part of the reason why Ireland has failed to perform for us.
He had a couple of quiet performances before Houllier came, but the whole team was in turmoil remember, and he wasn't anywhere near the only one playing badly then. I think he just needed a run of a few games in the team to find his feet and an arm around his shoulder. Circumstances, and then Houllier's outburst, left him little chance of succeeding. I wish him luck wherever he goes.
Poor poor Ireland , Jesus christ he's a man and a profesional , If I got a bollocking for not doing my job ( which Im not at the moment :-) ) and then kept on not doing it because my feelings were hurt because of the bollocking , I would be **** sacked !!!!! Get some nuts Ireland , Ghey boy !!!!!
