Stephen Ireland

[Jon Crofts]

Nigel Callaghan without the hair.

What an utter wanker.

He's never as good as Callghan.

Bannan was fuckin awful as well. He gets away with murder with Villa fans. The amount of times he gives away possession is laughable. He's barely Championship material let alone Premier.

I think he would be a good player in a team where he doesnt need to do the nitty gritty side of midfield play. Somehwere where he can just get on the ball and pick passes to decent strikers/wingers etc. I think hes a clever player and probably to clever for our team which results in him looking average because there is no real quailty for him to link with.

so man city fucked him off for being a wanker and he is far too talented and gifted to be any benefit to our team i am running out of places for him to go and truly light up. barcelona better give messi a spell on the bench just so we can properly see the mercurial talent of stephen ireland and then he can enrich their team as their players may be on the same level mentally as him!
the man is a cancer, his influence should not be ignored!

An awful player. Sadly one of many awful midfielders.

I didn't realise man city 'fucked him off for been a wanker'.  I think if you put messi in this villa team he would struggle to produce great form when your playing with average players.

Im not saying im a massive fan of Ireland but my opinion is he doesnt fit the way we play. He came to us at the start of our slide. If he was with us during better times with better players you might have a different opinion but hey no point on dwelling on times gone by.

He isn't awful but we need to get rid if he can't even be bothered to put the effort in at least.

Bannan again tries hand but isn't good enough imo.

[LeeB]

Ireland is one of those players who people keep hoping will shine because he's easy on the eye, but the reality is he offers the sum total of fuck all.

I don't think Holman is really good enough, but he's worth ten fucking Stephen Ireland's.

why else did man city fuck him off, it is common knowledge his ego is bigger than david platts head, and i wont dwell on times gone by, he is a joke of a player. also i dont think messi would struggle. he truly is a great player and would shine in any team that you would wish to put him in as he has hunger and desire. there isnt a player in the world who succeeds that doesnt have desire, ireland fits in the category that says wanker with an ego!

Ok he might not have the same hunger and desire as some of the other players but have you seem much hunger or desire of any players the last 3 games?

I dont think its what we need in our team at the moment, I would much rather had westwood in the midfield today but labelling him a wanker with an ego because he hasnt really done it for us? Its almost as if you know him on a personel levell? Come on

[Phil from the upper holte]

When he came off today were people booing him or booing Lambert for taking him off?

Booing him is what I thought. Rightly so.

[Phil from the upper holte]

That's what I thought

[PaulTheVillan]

I've always liked Ireland and always hoped he would work out here, I'm not so sure he's up for this fight.

[tomd2103]

We have to close the book on Stephen Ireland and move on.  He is never going to be the player we are all willing him to be and he's had more than enough chances.  He needs to be moved out and I can see him going and playing in somewhere like the US or Australia, as I don't think there would be too many takers in this country. 

[VillaAlways]

He was awful yesterday and deserved all the boos he got when he was subbed
