[eastie]

He hasn't even played yet and he's broken a curfew with Leon best and been hauled before pardew- what a prick!

Full story on mirror website if someone can paste it as I'm on iPod.

To think we lost Milner and this guy was part of package to replace him.....bloody hell we should have realised back then our season was doomed.

[Chris Smith]

Before we signed I called him a border line mentalist. I was wrong, he's a full blown fruit cake. Another fresh start and he's in bother before he has even kicked a ball.

My worry is that we end up stuck with the pillock as no other mugs will want him.

Marvellous.  Stephen Ireland coming back.  As if things couldn't be much worse.

[JD]

Ireland is the the type of footballer that is making me lose interest in the game. A talented footballer who has turned into a lying, stupid waste of space. What some of us would have given to have even one opportunity like this dickhead has had.

It makes me more convinced than ever that before any player is signed he should have to undergo as serious and thorough a psychiatric examination as the physical evaluations they have to have.

A dodgy ligament here or a tweaked tendon there are minor fixables compared with mental meltdown so many players are prone to as a result of excessive money and coccooned lifestyles.

If any player has previous form for erratic behaviour, especially one with a multi million pound price tag, he should be avoided like the plague.

Man City got from us a genuine, straight, committed professional football player.   In return we got a disruptive, whingeing head case.

Stephen Ireland has caused upsets and had fall outs at Manchester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and the Republic of Ireland. I can find no evidence of upsets at Cobh Ramblers where he started, so perhaps he should just go back there.

If he's fined 2 weeks wages.....I want us to get it

One thing you can be sure of in football Chris is there is always someone stupid enough to want a player like Ireland....

The man is just a waste of space.

He went topless?
He's just trying to be like their fans.


Two toon topless twits take tyneside tattoos too far. ( Now say it again, faster)

I ,maybe  the only one , was quite happy with the signing . I thought there was a very good player there and would make a difference in our team.  What a waste .          Hindsight, we should have just taken the money for Milner . Lke I say , a waste of a player and a waste of Villa money.      C**s like this , ruin the game for me and there are plenty of them.

He's mad. He's madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of last year's Mr Madman competition.

I actually think he's not mad at all, just a ****** who doesn't give a flying fuck as long as some club or other is throwing another multi million pound contract at him.
