I've met Maher a few times, and he's around the same height as me - 6". He does look smaller than he is, which is strange but Shay Given was the same.

A few interesting Irish bench appearances in the Premier League 3 o'clock games with Coventry on the bench for West Ham and Gavin Kilkenny as well as Ben Greenwood on the Bournemouth bench - three potential Irish Premier League debuts with the two Bournemouth lads and Ogbene on the Luton bench also.

I always thought Given was 5ft 10 or 11".

He is easily 6ft 2.

Given signed his autobiography for me at a signing in O'Mahoney's in Limerick a few years ago, he's the same height as me too. Hands like shovels

Poor decision to sign on for extra year last season. Should have moved on

Agreed, he'd be pushing for a place in the Irish squad if he'd got himself a Chship club.

Exactly and because he didn’t likes of Taylor have chance push their claims and earn opportunity.

They had a clause to extend his contract for another season.

Ya I honestly don't know how he thought he was going to get a sniff of any regular gametime staying at West Ham this season. Currently it seems he is back-up for the back-up at West Ham with just two PL2 appearances sofar for West Ham says it all
It was very native, badly advised or maybe he is too comfortable at WH now. But he is 23yo, will be 24 before the end of the season and he hasn't played a full season of senior football for any one club other than half season loans.
I thought he showed in his last half season loan at Rotherham that he was capable  of being a Championship player. 
Didn't West Ham/Moyes say he was free to leave last season?
Hopefully he leaves in January  and gets on with his career.

Kilkenny on the bench for Bournemouth tonight also.

He's 23.5 years old and hasn't even played 70 senior games at club level.

Both Coventry and Kilkenny looked like they would be senior internationals a few years ago.

Hodge could follow them if he's not careful.

Same with Kilkenny for Bournemouth. Theyre both 23 turning 24 in the new year, they really need to kick on. 

The pair of them could easily have been regulars in the Ireland squad by now with 20+ caps like Knight or Molumby had they already moved on and were playing regularly.

Not a chance. At 23 the training doesn't mean sh*t anymore, he needs to be playing football. Apparently he's earning around £5.5k p/w now, not impossible to earn that, or close, at a lower Championship or top League One side.
