Stephen Ireland

If he has matured, he certainly wouldn't be getting his girlfriend to do his talking for him. He'd have rung Trap himself, apologised for his childish behaviour and asked Trap to consider him for the friendly coming up. Basically this tool is just playing games.

One phone call alright. Hello is that Stephen? Ok listen carefully, just f**k off, you blew it and you alone. Bye.

He played most of his 6 games for us from the right side of midfield

So what about the player who he would replace in the squad- imagine how pissed off he will be after travelling all over europe including going to the arsehole of armenia and slovakia only to be told that a player that walked out on the team with a pathetic made up excuse 5 years ago is taking your place?

Like I said FW if the 3 mentioned above were to accept him which it looks like they have it would be good enough for me. Not saying he hasn't acted the bollox but he wasn't the first and certainly wouldn't be the last, as I said him and Robbie seem to be playing brilliant together which is fukin sickening to see and think what could have been, i don't really think he will make it but I certainly wouldn't rule it out either.

Jaysis lads will some of yis give it a rest, you would swear you are all flawless ffs, if they sort everything behind scenes and it worked for both parties then why wouldn't we want him, god knows we need him, best play maker from Ireland by a country mile.

A lot to sort if it was to happen but to just dismiss him is stupid, he made mistakes everyone does.

Fook sake. The chap has only had a few good games. Where was his good form the last 2 yrs?? Hes a fookin thick and a liary ****. I dont want him back ever.

Was that to get a date with her or what.

When you match that to unreal talent you get Barca, but even ifyou have lesser talent you can still go far with a unified purpose and everybody pulling in the same direction and leaving their personal problems at home.

So you just backed up my point here Baldy, dressing room is shocking at the minute yet he seems to be getting on with the whole team including all the Irish boys, only going on body language and play on pitch but if him and Robbie really had problems they would not be linking up and celebrating goals together, Robbie is a big factor in all of this I reckon, only my opinion though, never said it was right but it's a real shame he fuked this all up the lad is an excellent ball player and really adds something to that villa side, they were brutal in midfield second half Sunday when he was taken off.
