Well balanced and a good read. Can a MOD delete this and ban PM for a week. There is absolutely no need for this carry on around here. |

No. i think hilarity like that provided above by PM is sometimes required after pages and pages of nothing but insightful, educational, knowledgable and unbiased posts from the numerous keyboard tacticians/footballing geniuses that are kind enough to humbly grace us with their presence and share their know it all unquestionable opinions, sorry not opinions but facts with us.
As such, i’ll personally let PMs post slide on this occasion, however I promise to keep an eye on him from now on.

Spot on post. Absolutely bizarre that anyone could take the commentary about Whelan on this thread from the past 5-10 years, and the question of him being replaced in the team, and spin it that Whelan is being singled out and that the belief is that the team will suddenly improve massively with his removal. Numerous Irish players get it in the neck on this forum and others. PM, with that supposedly brilliantly balanced post, any chance you could go onto the Jeff Hendrick thread and write such a balanced post? Simple fact is that Whelans "success" at Stoke was in an exceptionally limited team. He had his role. He did it well. We have followed the path of the likes of Stoke for years now and played non football. That was our main tactic - let's make sure a game of actual football doesn't break out. I do find it funny that so many on this forum for the past few years (especially since the Danish WC play off defeat) have said they want to see us at least attempt to play positive football, and yet at the same time lots of the same people were happy to see Mick McCarthy come back and Whelan continue starting for us. It would be laughable if it wasn't so depressing. This place is f*cking bizarre at the best of times, but the simple fact that so many on here cannot see what having a very slow holding midfielder does to our tactical setup is scary. It's just so basic. Yet many of those same folk will wonder then with Whelan on the pitch why we don't go pressing teams higher and making a right battle of matches. |

What's amusing is that as soon as anyone goes against the grain they got shot down and are subjected to the most insightful replies such as being described as a keyboard manager/tactical genius/bringing up the fact lads may have done their coaching badges etc which has absolutely nothing got to do with the points being made.
As I've always said, the majority won't debate the point at hand and would rather stray off track to deflect away from giving a fair and balanced opinion on the actual topic!! Like heaven forbid you try to debate a point and someone doesn't agree, isn't that what football forums are all about? No one has ever suggested that Glenn Whelan starting for Ireland is the sole cause of all our problems, the sooner the better lads actually take that on board the better just because some of us would rather he was replaced in the team. Again, I repeat that if Whelan is starting against Slovakia I hope he puts in a great performance that will help get us the win.

All just my opinion but it's clear that this is Whelans last season, I get the feeling he would have retired at the end of last season if it were not for the euros this year.
He's not exactly looking for a final pay day at Hearts or Fleetwood, he would head to the USA for that. I suspect the only reason he's still playing this season is so that he can end a reasonably good career in a green shirt. I get the impression he's making every effort to keep himself in contention for the games in march and if we qualify for the euros. Whether you think he should or shouldn't be picked for ireland is a different story but hats off to the guy for that.

That is a really good point. Think that it will be his last season. Would imagine pride would also have been a factor in not retiring after Hearts. No way to end a career.

Spot on. The standard of commentary on the thread is like something from junior infants. Barely a single point is debated, it's all about lads playing football manager etc. It is mortifying stuff from the majority on this thread.

Glenn Whelan's new club hadn't won in six games before he arrived.
They've now won four in a row and are just two points outside the play-offs. |

McCarthy starting regularly in the PL, Whelan regularly in League 1. The choice should be obvious. However, MM has been clear that he requires players to be playing football. Alan Judge would still be a prominent player if his season at Ipswich had panned out more consistently. MM doesn’t object to League 1, so there is no reason to believe that Whelan will be dropped.
The only alternative for me, now, is accommodating both of them. And I think it would be a mistake to leave both McCarthy and Doherty on the bench.

Conor Hourihane is not getting a game with Villa and looks the most vulnerable.
