I look forward to the Fleetwood Town star tearing it up at the Euros and getting his well deserved move to one of Europes biggest clubs in the summer. I hope Fleetwood tied him down on a long contract so they can cash in on their superstar player.

"I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," .... He said 'No-one speaks to me like that'.... and I said, "well I do' and that was that."

It highlights that dribblers like yourself fall over like tenpins when the claptrap flung at Whelan returns with compound interest. There's no myth about Whelan's contribution - it's on record, the good, the bad and the in-between. The same for all players. You're just a cheap-shot gasbag who's jumped on the anti-Whelan bandwagon. You flatter yourself to hell and back if you think you've debunked anything, other than the rumour you have a brain.

There we have it, another poster incapable of actually speaking about the topic at hand and has to resort to personal insults and abuse to deflect.

I tip my hat to you Sir Clap

"He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland,"

Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan

Glenn Whelan divides opinion more than most irish players.

I'm of the opinion that he's been poor but I dont disrespect other opinions that he's been very good.

It would be nice to keep opinions civil and not personal.

I really wish that Whelan was a Roy Keane, Makelele or even a good all round defensive midfielder but I just don't see it.

However I do respect what he's achieved in his career, he's clearly worked his boll0x off to do what he's done despite the fact that he's not a technically gifted player.

I've never rated Whelan and have never shied away from my opinion on him since I joined the forum in 2010 or even before that.

Yet for that reason, it seems to gives certain posters a reason to sling personal abuse at others just because they don't rate him, which is absolutely mind-blowing and laughable.

If anyone read back over any of my posts on Glenn Whelan I only talk about his performances on the pitch and nothing else, which on a football forum is normal right or am I way off?

Funniest thread ever?

The Manchester United thread? Or that one about The Walls and ‘diddies’. There’s been a few, but this is excellent alright.

Hans you should consider changing your name to another Simpsons character that would most definitely

suit.

Why is there such a big deal whether Whelan plays or not? Are problems aren't in defensive side of the game. It's the attacking side we need to be concerned with.
