what a wanker hope he dies a horrible death! thinks he is the shit when in fact he is just shit! little cry baby just cos the ireland players made a bit of fun of his hair/wig he goes home crying to his mammmy "those boy were mean to me!" ireland doesnt need you you fucking cunt
@calahoon22 You don't know him, so don't say "I hope he dies a horrible death". You have never met him and never will, so shut the fuck up you little 12 year old.
Haha he's a failure now am I'm fucking delighted take that u jacking cunt traitor letting down his country as for roykeane another cunt fling traitors d lot of em
Whatta shame he hasn't fit in at Villa, obviously the lad's got talent. Hopefully we can sell him for a decent price and he can get his career back on the path it was on just a few seasons ago. Wish him the best of luck.
Who would want to play for Ireland and fear invoking their wrath. Ireland hates their players more than any other country and Stephen should go someplace where he's actually wanted. Come to America stephen, we won't threaten to kill you I promise! :o)
@tbmike23 I think little stephen would be perfect for the yanks; his favourite film is the Saw trilogy!! And they would believe his bullshit fairy stories when he didn't feel like playing. Call central casting, stephen wants an ageing actress to play the part of his non-specific, possibly a grannie on his neighbour's side, dying relation.
@DubSun33 You need to sober up before you write so people can make sense of you. I'm not saying he'd make the squad for the World Cup or the Confederations Cup for the US, I know he'll never get there with Ireland, I just think that no player would be happy playing for Ireland, or England, or any other country that says "You'd better win you bums or else!" Our team wins BECAUSE of the fans, not in spite of them.
@tbmike23 The Rep. of Ireland has amongst the best fans in world. We travel to enjoy the occassion and don't cause trouble either at home or abroad. We don't demand the team wins, but we do demand passion of the players to play honestly for their country. Little stephen couldn't handle the pressure, so stayed in manchester where they kissed his arse daily, until they threw him out for being a lazy twat. Don't imagine little stephen and keane are typical, they are the exceptions thank god.
@DubSun33 Yeah, and Italy runs a clean program. Calciopoli and the entire 2006 World Cup were "exceptions." Whitewash over the disclaimer at the top of the page and all the warm feelings, hate chants, fire bombings, and death threats surrounding Celtic F.C. too and except for half of Ireland, the fans are pretty O.K. I'm celtic, The Quiet Man is one of my favorite movies and I love an Irish girl, but face facts man, Ireland deserves some serious down dressing.
@tbmike23 keane and stephen ireland are the only players I know of with the talent and opportunity to play for their country, but chose instead to promote petty personal gripes as a reason for letting down Irish supporters. So, is it any wonder they get abuse on these sites. They still have their supporters of course, but then again so does hitler. You like to sound dispassionate about these fucks, but you're not Irish and you don't need to understand the level of betrayal we felt.
@DubSun33 .....and please ffs don't any cunt bore me about keane walking, out of principle. The cunt who breaks people's legs in revenge, the cunt who admitted he hoped Ireland would not progress in 2002 W Cup because it would reflect well on McCarthy. What's with the comparison with dodgy Italians, fire bombings and half of Ireland. I think you're getting out of your depth here mike. We're talking about supporting a football team, and supporting those who make up the team. Fuck the rest!
Stephen Ireland, the cork man who couldn't give a fuck about Cork or his country. Richard Dunne the Dublin man who would walk over broken glass to serve his country. Richard Dunne has class! Stephen is just another rebel without a clue.
"boo hoo, they laughed at me hair and me granny died."
ima dub meself tbh i love ireland as a player tbh iv no clue why hes not playing for his country i thought it was an honor maybe hes to spoiled tbh but he has so much potential of nothing against cork fair bawlz to the lads winning the sam mcguire and they shudnt hv atin against me tbh so plz no hate if u do well idk and p.s. stepehn ireland most creative player in ireland and before him best player was keano cork lads so stfu argueing and just enjoy football and dont bring stupid shit in plzty
@dublinandy go fuck yourself u dublin cunt.inbred what do you think your the centre of the universe or something ye heroin addicted scumbags.and without keane ireland wouldnt have done what they did when he was around,
as the saying goes id rather be a packy than a dub
Top 4 club? Spanish league? my arse.... fucking B wing would be too good for the empty-headed, mouthy, fuck.
All the talent in the world couldn't save that prick. If he had an ounce of intellegence or pride in representing his country, he would beg forgivness for the shame of the past 2 years.
This guy is so underrated. The man oozes class. Manchester City are extremely stupid to have let him go.
He deserves to play for a top 4 club. Villa is too small of a club for him in my opinion. I would love to see him in the Spanish league plyaing for a big club. I am Serbian and I have tremendous respect for this player.
Gerry, in light of the fact that stephen ireland has continued to play the victim while refusing to lend his talents to Ireland's cause, do you still feel that the abuse he gets from true Irish supporters is unjustified?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember Superman being a baldy, spineless wanker. Superman had some pride and integrity, not a massive inferiority complex.
S. Ireland's future is in Benny Hill remakes. Twat.
Stephen Judas doesnt deseve that name on his back the fuckin basterd i'd kill to play for my country and he makes up some bollocks excuse he can die for all i care
If Ireland doesn't stay in City's squad this season then City are going down the tubes. He's been City's key player in creating chances and fluent passing. Mancini is a complete retard for even considering letting him go. I hope Ireland goes to Villa he's way better than James Milner who is way overpriced at 30 million.
@Shaftsus i agree at best ireland is much more superior to milner, bt milner has been more consistent and is fantastic going forward and defending and is a workhorse. bt saying this if we get ireland back to his best which is wht oneill does then this will b the bargain of the season because obviously like sed in the video ireland is superman and can do anythink,he is fantastic going forward and has that magic which opens up defences which is what we r lacking, he scores and sets up lot of goals
Even after all the players we have bought Stephen Ireland is still the most talented player we have on the books at Manchester City and he probably cares the most. How ironic and how 'City' if we were to get rid. Please stay.
You don't have to be Irish to love Stephen Ireland - great, creative, talented playmaker who can also finish. Great to watch as a fan and seems to be a relatively unaffected teammate.
If City don't want to play him they should let him go to a team that will - and he'll do well.

Apparently he trained his ass off last summer and was doing martial arts and never really took a proper break. He seemed to put on some muscle aswell. That might explain his lack of form, i dunno but either way its alarming.
dropped from City and he's slagging off Hughes who was superb for him?? what a thick little baldy prick. I wonder will he want to play for Ireland now that he doesnt get any games anymore haha
it'll be interestin to see if he does wanna come back. trap is still adamant that he wants to put him in the team. he obviously has a lot of patience! even if he did come back, how would the fans react? i think we are only hostile because he has refused to come back previously. if he did come back, i'm sure fans would want him back coz he can only make the team stronger in our hunt to reach euro 2012.
Well i'm delighted his Man City career has stagnated, and i'll be delighted when it goes into free fall....... One should never forget where they were born! The only thing superman about him is his under pants!
his club career is on a stand still. i think he needs us just as much as we need him now. i wouldnt mind him coming back..although an apology over his past comments would be needed. i cant see he himself wanting to make the effort to come back though
he stopped playing for ireland because steven hunt {cunt} was mocking him about his hair. I mean look at the state of hunts hair its cat plus d fact his useless running around like a headless chicken wit his stupid hair. lost a good player cos of d prick
agreed, what player says he isn't interested at the prospect of representing their country at the world cup.. he said he didn't feel part of the team, its about being part of the country not just the team,, is stephen ireland the first of a new breed of footballer who deems international football a time consuming waste... i wonder will other players feel international football is a waste or is it just ireland being cocky... stephen ireland needs to look at goran pandev and learn.
newcastle fan here but man city can buy who they want but stephen ireland has been far their best player under mark hughes- shame about what is happening with his country. Fantastic player
@Toonlad14 de Jong, Kompany, Bellamy, Tevez...all better than Ireland under Hughes. Shouldn't expect too much from a supporter of 'Man City Castoffs FC'.
i thot it was because he was bullied by the rest of the irish squad when he was at the last cal up. thats why hes snubbed em now. all over his hairpiece he wore:L
He is so gifted that as a City fan it gives me tingles in fun places. He is the younger version of Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes etc and has the potential to every bit as good.
hes our most creative player apart frm andy reid why wont he play for us?and why the fuck doesnt trappatoni pick reid hes way better than that whellen idiot and fuckin andrews
yeah reid is much better and hes lost loadsa weight,,, i know glen whelan he used to be in my school, the next time i see him im gonna tell him to tell trapatoni to dropem lol hes a sound bloke but we wanna go to the world cup with somesort of a hope
yeah exactly and apart from ireland reis is our most creative player and hes dyin to play for us yet fuckin trapatonni keppps playin them 2 CLOWNS wheelan and andrews iv nutin against them but theyr just shit simple as.
@chilipeppers777 Reid is a calamity defender that offers no cover for the defense. He should play left mid but in order to fit him in to his favored role the whole side would need to be re-shaped. And Trappatoni's not willing to build the team around an only slightly better than average player. Stephan Ireland would be worth tossing Doyle leaving Keane up front with him in the hole. If he could do half of the things he does in this video, Euro 2012 qualification in the bag but he bald nd greedy!
@chilipeppers777 Heard this from a taxi driver, and those ugly twats know everything: Stephen Ireland turned up for Rep. of Ireland training once, wearing a wig of some sort. [He was going bald, and tried to go the wig route. He picked a pre- ireland game to debut the wig]. Anyways, the other rep. of ireland players recognised the wig for what it was. They gave Steo an unmerciful slagging, that he never recovered from. So, "Fk the lot of you, and the national team" ws his enduring response.
@GerryDisthename2 : Well said, the origon of stupidity was not Ireland(country) but some of them adapted to it very well. Stephen Ireland(person) can and will do what ever he likes, you's are not him, so stop doing his thinking for him.
its a scary thought for united fans like me , but what you say is undeniably true mate, this guy is phenomenal, the petrov goal against barcelona.... if theres anyone that can drive city into the top 4 its stephen ireland
I only went to 1 match last season (went to uni...typical!! lol) and I said to my mum "watch out for Stephen Ireland, he was great, he will be player of the season". And did anyone believe me?? lol
I woudnt stop saying "I told you so" every single time he excelled!!
very good player,very versatile.he can score goals,he can create chances for others to score,he can defend and he is also very fast which allows him to cover a lot of ground.he is a massively important player to have in your team.
without any doubt he was City's best player last season and was robbed of young player of the year. Young only performed for 1/2 of the season while Ireland shone throughout
Well I was playing off of the famous Superman tagline, "More powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet". In saying that, I reckon he may well be more powerful than Gerrard. I'd say they're evenly matched at least.
How come we have wannabe showoffs like Paul Mcshane on our team and yet we leave easily the most precious diamond of Irish football in the shadows? God i hope Trap can do something about this. Roy Keane even said that Ireland could be one of the Greatest Irish players to wear the Ireland jersey if he had a chance
Love him. Freat video of Dublin street vox pop from last week on hot topic of Stephen Ireland coming back to Irish team. Just look at TheCGNN Episode 3. First story. Hillarious!
excellent tribute what a brilliant player he has been for us this year. forgot about his goal against reading in sven's season that was in stoppage time what a hit!
its not about ireland turning his back on his country, its about him putting all his focus and efforts into a team that is going to get him somewhere, not to mention pay his wages. i mean no disrespect to ireland fans but lets face it, they're never going to win anything with or without stephen.
i dont want to win that tho without stevie. i want him lining out for ireland. it breaks my heart to not see him in the team. hopefully him and trap will sort things out so he can come back. please come back stevie:)
@JoshroyMCFC Its got nothing to do with whether our national team are going to win anything or not, its about the pride and honour of playing for your country; thats the reason why anybody should play for their country and nothing else.
@irishroverX I think that's a bit of an outdated ideology. Footballers want to be paid. To be paid high amounts they have to give high quality performances. A player will find it far more difficult to give a good performance surrounded by poor players. Therefore, it's more about career than 'pride' and 'honour'. Sad but true.
Most gifted irish player of all time. i'm a leeds fan. Please come back so we don't have to suffer the plainess of whelan in mid-field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great player, its too bad he dosnt giv a shite about his own country. if lampard refused to play for england i would think the same. all irish support man u, ur obviously a fuckin brain surgeon, fair enough they have big irish support but its fairly diverce. i know loads of city fans and lads that support lower league teams
Probably Man City's best player this season, but I can't say I am a fan of his attitude towards his national team, it's an honour to be able to represent your country at anything.
the reason he doesn't play for your shite country is because of pricks like you. He'll play again for you but ffs give him some time he's the best player to come out of Ireland for fuckin years!

@chilipeppers777 Reid is a calamity defender that offers no cover for the defense. He should play left mid but in order to fit him in to his favored role the whole side would need to be re-shaped. And Trappatoni's not willing to build the team around an only slightly better than average player. Stephan Ireland would be worth tossing Doyle leaving Keane up front with him in the hole. If he could do half of the things he does in this video, Euro 2012 qualification in the bag but he bald nd greedy!

@chilipeppers777 Reid and Darron Gibson would make a pretty creative midfield combo and produce a lot of chances :P

@chilipeppers777 Heard this from a taxi driver, and those ugly twats know everything: Stephen Ireland turned up for Rep. of Ireland training once, wearing a wig of some sort. [He was going bald, and tried to go the wig route. He picked a pre- ireland game to debut the wig]. Anyways, the other rep. of ireland players recognised the wig for what it was. They gave Steo an unmerciful slagging, that he never recovered from. So, "Fk the lot of you, and the national team" ws his enduring response.

Forget about ireland stevie and concentrate on manchester city.
No wonder steve don't want to play for ireland looking at some of comments morons lot of you.
He has the right not to play for his country and besides why would he want to go back to an average team with players who are bullies stuff that!!

Well I was playing off of the famous Superman tagline, "More powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet". In saying that, I reckon he may well be more powerful than Gerrard. I'd say they're evenly matched at least.
Anyway, glad you enjoyed the video Edmund. ;-)

How come we have wannabe showoffs like Paul Mcshane on our team and yet we leave easily the most precious diamond of Irish football in the shadows? God i hope Trap can do something about this. Roy Keane even said that Ireland could be one of the Greatest Irish players to wear the Ireland jersey if he had a chance

its not about ireland turning his back on his country, its about him putting all his focus and efforts into a team that is going to get him somewhere, not to mention pay his wages. i mean no disrespect to ireland fans but lets face it, they're never going to win anything with or without stephen.

@JoshroyMCFC Its got nothing to do with whether our national team are going to win anything or not, its about the pride and honour of playing for your country; thats the reason why anybody should play for their country and nothing else.
irishroverX 1 year ago
@irishroverX I think that's a bit of an outdated ideology. Footballers want to be paid. To be paid high amounts they have to give high quality performances. A player will find it far more difficult to give a good performance surrounded by poor players. Therefore, it's more about career than 'pride' and 'honour'. Sad but true.
