sir_gary_cahill Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Currently part time and playing in a league that is probably at the level of the conference (guessing based on the fact it is part time). So was Seamus Coleman and he's a fine player... good example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 the part time thing really annoys me. 8 of Norwich team that played Liverpool on saturday were part-time so good players are down there. So was Chris Smalling 3 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 So was Seamus Coleman and he's a fine player... Kevin Doyle and Shane Long as well those staunton, mcgrath and keane lads did alright when they moved over too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juteface Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't see many Conference teams making it to European group stages or at least making a good run at it like Derry and St Pats did a few seasons ago. I can't imagine Crawley Town hammering Gretna 5-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 So was Chris Smalling 3 years ago Smalling was playing for his university team 3 years ago, so not even conference standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazmonkey Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 This part time thing is an urban myth. Part time players/teams train just as much as professional teams the difference is that when the pro players go home to their massive homes in their aston martins...semi pro or part timers as they are called go off to do a job as they dont get the money like the pro's nor have everything subsidised by the club. In most cases semi pro leagues play more games as the leagues have more teams. Anyway back to topic...if he is any good great..if not...nothing lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted November 9, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2011 He has just been nominated for the Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland (PFAI) Young Player of the Year award. Shamrock Rovers left back Enda Stevens, who will be joining Aston Villa in January 2012, has been named in the Irish Premier Division Team of the Year and nominated for the Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland (PFAI) Young Player of the Year award. 21 year old Stevens has remained with Rovers whilst they compete in the Europa League. They currently sit bottom of Group A with ties against Rubin Kazan on November 30th and Tottenham on December 15th left to play. Having failed to win a point so far, they cannot qualify for the knock out phases. Stevens signed a three year contract with Villa on transfer deadline day back in August. We could certainly do with some cover and competition at left back. Ballon d'Or....Pah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockafella Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I think he ended up winning that award. I haven't seen this kid play yet, I'll be watching the game tonight vs Spurs with interest. Alot of people seem to think very highly of him. I hope he does well - same kind of story as Delaney, that what it reminds me of and he turned out to be a great player for us.

So was Seamus Coleman and he's a fine player... Just quoting the first line of my post takes it a bit out of context. I was not saying that he won't be a good player but that we shouldn't expect him to be fully functional on the day he arrives and that it will take him a while to get up to speed with the Premier League.

Zatman Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 IN fairness Rovers have only played 2 competitive games in last 5 or 6 weeks. Hard to judge a player rusty and still playing part-time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
