I was absolutely disgusted by Ireland's response to Weimann's goal on Saturday. The rest fo the team either join in to celebrate with Weimann or at least celebrate in some sort of way, Ireland just walks away from it!!!

Yep I noticed that as well. Perhaps he doesnt get on with Weimman who knows. What I do know is that he is on between 60000 to 65000a week and will not be offered anything like that by any buying club if indeed there is one who would want him.

I reckon he will sit out his contract unless an American club fancies him.

I believe he is on more than that

The club have invested enough and he has repaid too little.
Get rid of the little scrote, is my opinion.

Who would take him though? He's done so little of late that any PL side would be mad to take him, especially given his (supposed) wages.

I fear we're stuck with him

I think he's got another year left on his contract and depending on the financial situation in the summer, I would seriously consider cutting our lossess and paying off his contract.  For me, he is the epitome of what is wrong at the club at the moment and needs to be moved on.

i think we should play him in the hole and build the team around him!

I think we should stick him in a hole and then fill it in

Would it be fair to say that Ireland has had only one very good season in this league? I think he was one of our better players, at times, last year. But nothing special.
I'm amazed at the wealth he has from his career, good luck to him.

We may need him on Tuesday to finally show what he can do. He owes us a big performance.

Yes he may have to play and if so he is long overdue a match winning display - i wont hold my breath on him to deliver .

If he can't do it against Bradford at VP he should buy himself out of his contract and go an play in the Papa New Guinea Premier League.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Despite injuries, I can't see him playing on Tuesday.

How often has that been said, and has he delivered?

This guy has no love playing for his own country let alone thus club. I think Mon may have been right manager for him. Clear under Lambert he does nt work. The problem seems Ireland believes he should be in the team regardless Lambert picks on merit and what he sees in training. He may have the odd amazing game but not a consistent player. Similar awkwardness to Barton. And Pardrew took a chance didn't work... I think warnock to take him at Leeds and be the main man or a move abroad would actually work for him,. In regards to us i prefer nzogbia to come good as Charles natural ability would mean if he has a good game then things happen

I see Redknapp didn't waste much time in getting Cisse out on loan to a team in Qatar.  I think a deal like that involving Ireland would be the best for all concerned.

Afraid so.
If we get 2 decent midfielders in, then loan him out.
The Congo Republic for all I care.

He's been very good on a few occasions but never amazing (and I include his Citeh days in that comment)!

Bin him - he is a complete waster
