We will probably never know, but the fact is that Ireland did not play one minute after the Bradford match. Before that, he had been on the pitch in 17 matches.
I remember in the Bradford game the team's play fell apart when he subbed Bannan, and we started playing hoofball.
Perhaps that moment caused a rift between Bannan and Lambert, Bannan showing dissent?
Are you an actual person? This is madness...
