Richard Dunne...
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
another error again, lucky to get away with it
It wasn't another o.g. was it???
No, he misread the flight of the ball letting it go to Darren Bent to slot it home.
just came close to scoring
He's been dreadful today
It's absolutely pissing it down in Manchester, I bet Robinho's loving it.
We are struggling for some decent centre halves alright. Dunne is playing poorly at the moment. O'Shea has done well at centre half for Ireland recently but he can't get a game at United. McShane is brutal really. Andy O'Brien was never an international defender. I don't even see what players are coming through. Darren O'Dea has barely played for Celtic all season. Paddy McCarthy and Alex Bruce are terrible terrible players. Joe O'Cearuill is now at Pats after playing a couple of internationals a couple of years ago. Gavin Gunning and Eddie Nolan appear to be the best prospects but they haven't made the breakthrough as expected. The one match Joey O'Brien played centre half for Ireland he did pretty well.
Dunne has been absolutely shocking today, looked well out of his depth.
sent off !!
Sent off now
the caf curse
Sending off, own goals, big mistakes.
Well done Pogue.
First question on my mind. Does he miss the United game ?
It's one game for an offence of that kind.
Tumbling
I think he will only miss one game..

Jaysus.
Now you've Dunne it...
It's the reverse "flop effect"
We need threads on the greatness of every single Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal player.
This is too good to be true.
He was always shit. Shame it took a bizarre run of quite hilarious feck ups for some people to cotton on to this fact.
/HomerWhisperMode/ Shhhh, don't tell Pogue, he thinks Dunne is world class /endHomerWhisperMode/
You a bluey? Never realised that.
And yes, Dunne's a quality player. He's really developed his game over the last few seasons.
this is definitely the caf effect BTW.
earlier in the season people were saying how shite a certain french winger from Chelsea was, and then he went on a scoring run... the caf is an all encompassing entity!

he's Irish.
Dunne is one of those guys that is at his best when its a "backs to the wall" scenario. He'll head and hoof balls clear all day long, but pass him the ball and he wont know what to do with it. I think this thread stemmed from his performance against Cyprus, and in fairness to Dunne, defending a 1-0 lead he was exactly what we needed that night. Hes prone to the occasional feck up, but he does a great job for Ireland alongside the mediocre Kilbane, JOS and McShane. If you threw Rio in alongside those 3 he'd be out of his depth.
I wouldn't like to see him in a United shirt but horses for courses.
Good point.
A belated
Is he available for the derby?

Nope, he's out for the Arsenal and United match.
And with the way Ban Haim played yesterday it looks like it'll make a big difference.
I think we should all thank Pogue for completely ruining Richard Dunne's season up until now.

Pogue gives you a bit of stick in another thread, and here you are. Coincidence?
Nope, he's out for the Arsenal and United match.

My pleasure
Doesn't change the fact he is a quality centre-half and the best at City, by quite some margin. Good news he won't be playing against us.
None whatsoever.
Do you like how I tried to cover it up a bit by asking whether or not Dunne was available for the derby?
So my response in that thread is as applicable here as it was there.
Well done me

He was very, very good over the past two years but he isn't a better defender than Carragher, or Terry.
No. No, he's not.
Did I really try to claim he was?
Just blame it on being drunk, that always works for the Irish. Helps when your name's of an Irish pub as well.
