Richard Dunne

[JUAN PABLO]

The bastard is costing us a fortune too.

he aint the only one but yes he is .

[cdbearsfan]

Good riddance. Why do our senior players always seem to have shit attitudes?

Useless fat pisshead pie addict.

Allegedly.

Pat Murphy suggests he won't play for Villa again on 5live yesterday.

Isn't that up to the 5Live match schedulers?

[brian green]

I do not think there is anything sinister about Dunne's indolence, not that that makes it any more excusable.   I see him as yet another example of the current genre of footballers who have made too much easy money.   Large numbers of them have no loyalty and no principles.   For generations players were exploited mercilessly then along came Bosman and the roles were reversed.   The game will continue to be run for the benefit of agents until a major employer has the balls to sue one for breach of contract.   Don't hold your breath.

Pat Murphy suggests he won't play for Villa again on 5live yesterday.

..is the correct answer.

[SoccerHQ]

You can't say that and not elaborate!

I was surprised to see him coming out of the dug-out last night, giving Tevez I think it was (did their time at City overlap?) a "c'mere me ol'mate" smile and hug.

Really? I missed this. He can't be in Lambert's black book if he's allowed to sit with the subs when injured.

[villan from luton]

Well I read on this site that he was actually looking really trim recently before his injury flared up again. Have to say I think it is a bit unfair having a dig for being inured

[Damo70]

From some of the stuff I have read over the months concerning his injury, I'm not convinced they have ever diagnosed the exact problem. They seem to be trying various things to sort it which clearly haven't worked.

[villan from luton]

It is easy to have him as the scapegoat, I reckon Lambert rates him and would love him in the fold

[eamonn]

Lambert does rate him - he was eulogising about him a few weeks ago.

Soccer - I was so surprised to see him that maybe I imagined it. Will try and look back at the highlights to see if they show it at the end.

[Damo70]

It isn't just the Dunne injury that is draggng on. Any news on if Ivo Stas will play before the end of the season? Someone 'in the know' has already tipped me off that we won't be seeing Mike Pejic again.

[adrenachrome]

Just seen Dunne in The Guilded Gage in town chain smoking Embassy Regals and downing pints of Mickey Mouse like it was going out of fashion.

And slavering on pork pies, obviously.

Stas did play at Villa Park as I'm sure I was there - was it Banik Ostrava he was playing for.

About time he made an appearence for us mind - that was a few years back

[cdbearsfan]

He did score for us though, so not completely useless.
