MikeO Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Let's hope he has as big an impact as the last Irishman we sent to a Championship club chasing the play-offs . Soft spot for Burnley....good luck to them and him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 When was the whole CAS thing cleared up? Must be recent if he was called up for Eire U21? I don't see how IFA had a chance of winning to be honest, plus if a body prevented you from playing for another nation, would you really want to play for them?

I don't see how IFA had a chance of winning to be honest, plus if a body prevented you from playing for another nation, would you really want to play for them? The IFA lost emphatically in the Summer of 2010. Shane's right to play for Ireland wasn't contested by the IFA, even though they used the publicity from his switch to launch their case. Shane's change was put on hold until after the CAS case for whatever reason. He played for the U19s a few months back. He's started on the bench today, but he played the whole game against Cyprus U21s a few weeks back. Hopefully he gets some time on the pitch.

Matt Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just seen something in in the Echo that he might be going on a permanent transfer?! I hope not, I was really hoping he would be partnering Jags over the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Not sure Matt. I think Howe is keen on him though, he likes what he sees. Shane played fairly well for the U21s yesterday. He won all his headers and was very composed in possession (even found time to nutmeg a striker!). Ireland were unlucky to lose 2-0, because they were the better team for most of the game - they scored a cracker from 25 yard in the last minute, then our 'keeper lost his mind shortly after, trying to take on the striker instead of putting his foot through the ball. Joao Silva played, as did Bebe. Didn't do much at all as Ireland controlled the midfield and the defence mopped up everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, I was really hoping he would be partnering Jags over the next few years. I think the Echo have read it wrong tbh. I took Howe's comments as meaning he'd look to get him in on loan again next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I read it. I'd like to see how he gets on - I think we'd kick ourselves if we got rid at this stage. Prime example Villa and Gary Cahill and to a lesser extent Liam Ridgewell.

Louis Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Slighty off-topic but it's interesting to see that Adam Barton make his début for ROI u21 after playing for the full Northern Ireland team in a friendly. It seems no one wants to play for 'Norn Iron'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Do you think Moyes would want to let Shane go if Burnley came in with an offer? I suspect Moyes sees this move as the next step in Shane's development. @Louis - Barton's reason for declaring for the FAI over the IFA is different to Shane's situation; Shane declared for the FAI because that is his national team, whereas Barton seems to be acting a bit of a mercenary. Apparently Barton wasn't sure who to play for between England, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I suspect Moyes sees this move as the next step in Shane's development. I hope so, but is Duffy happy to play reserve football for the next 3 or 4 years when he could be playing first-team football regularly at a club like Burnley? If they put a bid in of course.

Noddy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Shane made his debut for Burnley today in the 2-1 defeat to Ipswich. Played the full 90 and had a decent game by all accounts, considering it was only his third senior appearance and first since his injury. Here's a bit on Burnley's website about it: http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/page/LatestHeadlines/0,,10413~2329680,00.html Hopefully he can build on this experience.

MikeO Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Mixed reaction from the fans here. But like you say Noddy he's not got a huge amount of experience at the top level, and Ipswich have been a decent team since they ditched Keane. Not a bad start .

Noddy Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I missed the highlights on the Football League Show, but I hope to catch them Sunday. It always amazes me how two people can watch the same game and see two competely different performances. I suppose that's part of the fun of watching the game. According to some, Shane had a tremendous debut and showed great composure, awareness and passing range for an untried youngster, while others saw a raw, nervous player who made mistakes. I tend to think that some people might not know what they're talking about, sometimes. Don't the best defenders in the world make mistakes or have bad days at the office? Time will tell whether Shane will be a star. He might not have blown away the spectators on his first game at Burnley, but I think it's obvious that he has the potential to mix it with the pros at the highest level.

Noddy Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I can't really comment on Shane's performance last week since I didn't see it, but it's odd that he's been dropped after walking straight into the team and acquitting himself well enough, drawing praise from Howe himself.
