It's been in bits all season. Definitely impacting how we play, particularly against the sides who sit back and let us have the ball

Yeah most of the noise is from other clubs' fans who don't watch Shane week in week out. His form has fallen off a cliff since the Cup final against Derry 

I'm backing Duff here. Sean Boyd also came out after the game 100% backing Duff so it's up to Shane now to use this as motivation to get his sh1t together or else sulk and end up playing LSL in a couple of years

The mollycoddling of players is too much if you ask me.

I'm all for managers speaking out like Duff did, and if Duff gets a reaction from him, then he will be proved right.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

He said also in an OTB interview Farrell let his teammates, fans and all the clubs down by picking up 2 silly yellow cards forcing them to defend for rest of the game.

Kind of alluded to how he is living his life off the pitch a little slower to the tackle etc. 
Didn't back down when asked if the lateness to the tackles could have been related to only coming on as a sub and he said "no, that's what warm ups are for". 
He basically hung his player out to dry. 

Personally, I think it's well out of order to do that in public. Complete Jose style interview like another poster said. Went on about not eating again.

He is intriguing but very peculiar!

Duff is fond of a night out too according to my sources. 

Maybe he should have a sesh with Farrell to work things out.

Why is Duff picking him? 

I genuinely think Duffer likes Farrell and really wants to help develop him and has tried everything. Keeps on him, keeps picking him as he sees hit potential. But last night is probably the last straw. Shane has lots of ability and potential but he seems to be p1ssing it away. 

Unfortunately we don't have a lot of players that will take hold of the ball and take players on (Burt and Jarvis the only 2), and Farrell would be a huge player for us if he was playing to his potential

For me, he's had more than enough chances at this stage and hasn't produced. 

But that's all just guess work. I'm sure there's loads going on behind the scenes for Duffer to publicly out him like he did. And in my opinion he wouldn't have done that if there wasn't a need for it

I always get the feeling that Duffer is acting and it’s all a bit put on.  He admired Jose and he is adopting his personality for management.  Doesn’t seem authentic.  Let’s see how it plays out.

I was thinking this too. 
Completely OTT from Duffer imo

Exactly if you are questioning a players intensity & how he lives his life off the pitch then why are you bringing him on in a top of the table derby clash? If Farrell let his team down then I think Duff has as well.
