It would appear that after playing 83 minutes of Niall Quinn's testimonial last night he was honest enough to go up to McCarthy and admit that he wasn't up to it. IP: Logged
the dodger Senior Member Posts: 371 From:inistioge Registered: Aug 2000	posted 15 May 2002 02:16 PM Mark Kennedy this morning dramatically withdrew from the Ireland World Cup squad, according to reports. The Wolverhampton winger appeared to have allayed any injury fears after playing 83 minutes of last night's testimonial match against Sunderland. But he is believed to have suffered a reaction to the groin strain which has tormented him for the past month, and this morning admitted to manager Mick McCarthy that he will not be fit enough to travel. Kennedy was said to be devastated at missing out on the trip to Japan, but his loss will spell good news for Stephen Reid or Colin Healy, one of whom will be drafted in to replace the unlucky Dubliner.

The only thing he did during the qualifying campaign was get pissed and jump on cars. He never performs when needed. Better a less skillful player who'll give his all than a highly skilled one who never seems to be bothered. IP: Logged

Bowsie Member Posts: 34 From:A long way from home Registered: Mar 2002	posted 15 May 2002 03:57 PM Fair enough Dodger. They wouldn't be the greatest to ever wear the green shirt but at least they will put in 100% when they play. Nothing annoys me more than the player (in any sport) who has the talent but not the commitment. I'd take Connolly/Kilbane 100 times before I'd take the likes of Kennedy. IP: Logged

orion Senior Member Posts: 657 From:U.S.A. Registered: Mar 2000	posted 15 May 2002 05:48 PM Quinn is 36 and can hardly run nowadays. He has no business going there. Cunningham is not an international defender...if you think he is you know very little about the game. IP: Logged

Cunningham's club career notwithstanding he has played well enough at international level since his debut to deserve higher praise than you seem willing to give orion. I disagree with you about Quinn because of what he can offer in the dressing room, though you may have a point in purely footballing terms. But I can't understand how anybody can be anything less than very impressed with Cunningham. IP: Logged

orion Senior Member Posts: 657 From:U.S.A. Registered: Mar 2000	posted 15 May 2002 11:39 PM I already told you Twice as Nice my job takes me to London a dozen times a year so I make a point to go and see Palace, Wimbledons, etc., and am well versed with Cunnigham. Unlike you, whose only sighting of him is playing a game now and again. Cunnighman is very one paced and ball watches a lot, and to be honest, is not very strong in the tackle. Lets be real, if he was any good he would'nt still be with the Dons now would he. And, for Ireland he is not good enough anymore to play as a full back or in the middle...so he is behind Staunton, Breen, Dunne, and O'Brien at this stage. So, if Ireland has 4 centre backs why bring him? Therefor bring players who will add something: Healy for one, who will be a handy player very soon, Delap who is quite a useful utility player. He is two footed and good in the air. And, like a player who was " 10 years ahead of his time " can ghost into positions. But, you probably have no idea what that is about either. Reid I heard has been added which is good news. IP: Logged

Unless of course you actually mean Buckingham Palace and Wimbledon tennis tournament...which is more likely I suspect. Bit of a Walter Mitty Orion...are you not? IP: Logged
orion Senior Member Posts: 657 From:U.S.A. Registered: Mar 2000	posted 16 May 2002 03:37 PM No, but I go to games where the Irish lads are playing, plus, it is far easier to get tickets nowadays than the Premiership ( which is way overpriced for the football that is played ). Some of the most enjoyment I have had has been down at Craven Cottage....in fact, when Best and Marsh played there years ago it was good entertainment. But, I go to Highbury and Stamford Bridge from time to time. And, re Walter Mitty??? Walter Mitty lived out his fantasies in real life....how can you say going to watch div 1 sides makes me like that??? You must be an idiot to write something like that. IP: Logged

SuperSub Senior Member Posts: 262 From:East Clare Registered: Apr 2000	posted 16 May 2002 04:20 PM Orion, when it comes to footballing terms, we're going to have to agree to dissagree. Keane and Cunningham should not and wont retire after the world cup. Cunningham will make the first team next month providing he stays injury free. I dissagree that he's behind the ranks of Breen, O'Brien and Dunne. It IS worth bringing Quinn to the world cup. You seem to be the only one thinks he isnt! He's the only striker we have that experienced in major touraments up front and that experience in invaluable in the dressing room. SS IP: Logged
