Dodgyknees Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Not his biggest fan but that 45 minutes against Chelsea was really good, looked a totally different player. If he can keep this up on a consistent basis he could become a key player for us.. early days yet though but credit where credit is due - good first half. Agreed.

Oaks Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I blame him for scoring. If he didn't Terry would have been sent off and we would have had a penalty the dick head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I feel like such a clearing in the woods. I slagged him off royally yesterday and tbh, he deserved but that was a sensational performance. Well done Stephen, more more more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dchitz Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Very good game plenty more to come from him, delighted for the believers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 superb and just what we needed from him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 He fits our passing game perfectly! Especially his linking up with N'zogbia. Great game for the whole team, but shame Gabby didn't convert his 1v1 chance and Dunne gave away that silly penalty. More games like this please, win lose or draw!

Rob182 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've always had faith in Ireland. I knew it'd just take a bit of confidence and he'd pull something out the bag. If some of our other players can get onto his wavelength, we'll have an excellent player on our hands. The amount of little one-touch passes and flair moves he does, really goes unnoticed.

OnlyOne Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It only took 16 months to come good. Hopefully he'll keep his form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Phenomenal performance, hopefully it's not a one off. Today he produced something that we have missed for years and something we paid for 18 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Absolutely brilliant today, I've shown a lot of faith in Ireland and finally he has done something to repay a bit of it. Hopefully he can stay clear of those niggling injuries and start producing consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 so delighted for him, was stoked when i saw his name on the teamsheet...and he's gone and bagged a goal and an assist. really shames all the bullshit on the previous pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_0'Neill Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Doubters... sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Always had this in him, it was as the positive posters have been saying. Its so much easier to slag off, than to have faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 He was class today. Hopefully this is the start of something. Fair play to McLeish for picking him today and Ireland certainly repaid him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 31, 2011 Moderator Share Posted December 31, 2011 More performances like this and he'll soon have the doubters (me included) singing his praises. played well today, the signs have been there that its coming but lets hope he doesn't slip back into his old ways. New run out theme in his honour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 WOW that was brilliant. He just looked up for it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
