IRELAND `TEASED ABOUT HAIR TRANSPLANTS` Stephen 'Daddy Dick' Ireland is reportedly set to quit international football because his Irish team-mates teased him about apparent hair transplants. The Irish Mail on Sunday reports that two unnamed team-mates pinned him to the floor on the night before Ireland's game in Slovakia last month, and tried to see if the sudden appearance of a fringe was down to artificial means. What is in no doubt is that last season Ireland had a rapidly receding hairline, while in recent times he appears to be sporting a fringe. Indeed, the Daily Telegraph claims 'it was not clear to the casual observer that he was there (at Ireland training) at all until coach Kevin MacDonald praised him loudly for a good piece of footwork.' The FAI deny the incident took place. Taken from football365, so its probably bullsh**, but a abit lame if it did happen
Heard this a few weeks back. No smoke without fire. He is being ribbed about it thats for sure. McAteer put up with worse when he did the shampoo ad I'd say, just did not notice..
It goes back to an U17 game that was played in Turners Cross a few years back. Stephen Ireland had all his family from Cobh down at the game to see him represent his country. Brian Kerr didn't select him, Ireland had a hissy fit and swore never to play for Brian Kerr again.
Yeh he seems to have an attitude problem or just mentally unstable. Has played for City in last couple of games and played well and suddenly he's not able to play for Ireland. BullSh1t Also heard from a fairly reliable source that his bird is a bit mad in the head too and while he lied about his granny his "real excuse" for having to go home is a bit of waffle to - its his mad bird causing problems. If he cant take a bit of slagging about his hairpiece he hasnt a hope of getting his head sorted. Must be something in the water down in Cork with these players walking out on the Irish team.
Ah its only a bit of intercounty banter. Heres one for you though,i know you'll like this Whats the difference between the Cork Hurling Team and the Ryder Cup Team ? Theres only one Langer in the Ryder Cup Team!!!! Ah the old ones are the best
You gonna throw a hissy fit and vow to never post on this jackeen site again, complain about the interface being like a carpark and demand you be jetted home at our expense............at the end of the day liiiike
I find that both funny and insulting at the same time I reckon its time to set up a breakaway forums site from this - www.corkkop.com
Heard something about this before but now I see it in black and white I'm convinced that this guy is the greatest sprong to ever have originated from these lands. Even at that age he was a dickweed and amazingly money and pampering haven't knocked it out of him See Toshack's comments on his Welsh players for more backup of my dislike of modern spoilt brat footballers. Mmmmm one of his Grannys is English isn't she, maybe we can reverse the usual trend and claim he's actually a limey ?
agree with fitz here, like if it is true he does need to take a look at himself. Banter is all part and parcel of the dressing camamaderie and he should understand that been in the City First Team for the past few seasons.
He definetley has had a hair transplant, dont know if the ribbing took place but if it did and thats his reaction(pulling out of squads for a bit of banter) this lad needs to do some serious growing. When u consider this chap was a father at the age of 14 he certinley could do with maturing alot.
Sounds like a load of old bxxxox to me Both from the newspapers and the lad himself Time to move on or move out
Nope not at all. I'm stronger than that. I have no problem with a guy insulting me personally if he has good reason. But to insult a county is just stupid. What's the difference between this guy insulting us because we're Corkonians and that bloke from the other LFC forum (can't remember the name) blaming the Irish for the "lack of passion" at Anfield?
