I have never seen him play since he left the LOI. Very talented but wildly inconsistent and often very ineffective for long stretches of games and indeed entire games. Never rated him that highly myself. Much better players ironically on show in the LOI at present. Then again he may have improved since he left as I don't watch scottish football.


He was capable of that bit of magic every now and again but he was no Jackie Jameson, Patsy Freyne, Dave Barry or Pat Byrne.

Going strong his hardly the term I would use comes on as a sub most of the time somehow "the Derry Pele" can't play full games

Shane Duffy had a great game in a make shift Everton defense. I think Moyes rates him but he won't get a regular place in the first team. Moyes is too cautious to play a 19 year old. He was Everton's MOTM for me.

I watched the match and thought he acquitted himself quite well but wouldn't go as far as giving him Everton MOTM. Positionally, Darren Bent had the beating of him too often. Obviously Duffy is young and inexeperienced, so let's hope he can learn from playing against strikers like Bent.

Was also surprised at just how big he was for a 20 year old, he looks like he would easily be the biggest player in the Irish squad.

He's 6'4" afaik.

In Derry they have a sign that says you must be this tall to play football.

A tricky little winger is 6,2 up there.

Don't think Moyes has ever been afraid to trust youths. If hes good enough he'll get his place.

The majority don't like it then?

Who gives a fuck what it's called?

It's the city in Northern Ireland where the 3 footballers - that are the topic of this thread - are from.

Sorted.

Good to see the patriots defending Derry.

I expect you'll all be taking up season tickets for the Brandywell next year instead of supporting Celtic on the TV.

Instead of going to Celtic Park and supporting our beloved club you mean? Irish Celtic fans go in their droves to Parkhead to support the Bhoys.I'm one of many.At least you referred to the city as Derry. This londonderry stuff is ridiculous.Clearly a Brit "we own your Irish asses" thing.It never worked though.Derry is as Irish as Limerick or Cork.;)

Anyone who thanked this post is clearly as deluded as the poster.

citytillidie

Awww feck sake, here is a thread about 3 guys from here starting in the English league and its turned to a petty thread on what the name of the city is.

Its official name is Londonderry, most people call it Derry even protestants, only people who call it Londonderry are ones trying to get a rise out of people.

Your right - you cant support a team by watching a TV. That's laughable.

The amusement I get from the Dublin fans calling Derry British and they come from ahem...The Pale:pac:

Do not understand this thread given the vast amount of Irish players that have played in the Premiership over the years.

Plenty of Derry lads playing in "another league" right here on our doorstep. About the same level as McCourt is playing also.

Dublin.

The idea of the thread was that you dont often get more than 1 or 2 players from a place other than Dublin playing in Premiership at any one time,and on the same day.

i.e Donegal - Given,Coleman. Cork - Keane,Irwin,Miller.

Nonsense

Reckon in years to come, the same 3 lads will be playing together for the Republic of Ireland team. Bring it on.

As regards the SPL, apart from the big 2, the rest are LOI standard. There are as many players going to the PL/Championship from the LOI as there is from the SPL.

Apart from the big two, I think the LOI standard is better tbh. Scottish football recently has taken a big decline.

Yes it is the top two here would put up a reasonable showing fighting for round about 6/7th place the rest would be really struggling but when it comes down to it we will never know
