...and Alonso.
Probably, but only because very few can play that role at present.

He'd some games where he was horrible, and others were he wasnt. He has never ever bossed a game while playing for Liverpool. He's a decent passer, a good headerer, a poor tackler, his long range shooting is appalling and his decision-making is poor when the pressure comes on.
Alonso doesn;t "boss" gamesin the way Gerrard might either, he subtly dictates play - a good example of Lucas doing this was at Old Trafford.
Everyone has horrible games. Alonso away to Middlesborough was one of the worst performances any Liverpool player gave all season.
Plus Lucas gave possibly the best pass all season (Number 4 v Newcastle, another match he was very impressive in).

If Antrim were leading Tyrone by a point in the last minute of the Ulster final and Stevie O'Neill hit a free wide - I'd have cheered. Simply cheering your team getting a bit of luck.
Any chance of coming up with a more realistic one HS
Quote from: Donnellys Hollow on August 02, 2009, 10:47:23 PMThe only rugby crowd who respects any kickers are in thomond park where you hear the grass being ripped from the ground.Quote from: DCR on August 02, 2009, 10:35:38 PM
As a football fan I was disgusted at the large section of Kildare (fans?) who cherred Tyrone's wide freekicks. Fair enough to applaud a wide if your defender has put the forward under pressure. But in my book there is not much sportsmanship in applauding a wide free kick. Not even the Dubs would do it.
I would agree that it is not nice to hear but every county seems to have a proportion of these clowns.
In fairness, I'd say a lot of the cheers would be when "questionable" frees are kicked wide - sense of justice being done. Still doesn't excuse it though. Some GAA supporters could learn a lot from the rugby crowd as far as respect for the place kicker is concerned.

Padraic Joyce, Michael Meehan, possibly Nicky Joyce if he can stay on the panel.
Outrageous. Everyone knows Padraig Joyce is past it.

Micko's built capable of being one of the top three(or even two-luck of the draw) sides in leinsterQuote from: Eastern_Pride on August 02, 2009, 10:24:24 PMQuote from: Donnellys Hollow on August 02, 2009, 10:15:37 PMIf it wasn't for a shocker of a second half by Marty Duffy Wicklow would have made a game out of it. Our forwards were better(!) but that was absmyal by our back three. I don't know if you saw this but there was a kick out where stafford caught the ball clean, yere no.8 jumped forward, ronaldo-like and got the free no contact. Ah now!Quote from: Eastern_Pride on August 02, 2009, 10:11:55 PM
To the rest of this Island (and a certain Mayoman) does this prove just how good wicklow are because
1.Kildare were good enough to beat Tyrone
2. Wicklow were good enough to beat kildare....ish
1. Kildare didn't beat Tyrone
2. In 2008, yes. In 2009, no.
Jaysus, build a bridge and get over it. Did you miss Seánie Furlong's steps for the first goal and Leighton Glynn's throw for the second??
The 50/50 calls will go with you one day and against you the next. That's football, sure just look at the calls that went against Kildare today. There'll always be another day - Ní hé an té is fearr a thuileann is mó a fhaigheann.
