He was a great prospect who cost us peanuts and performed so well in the Championship but seemed to drop off in the yo-yo years. He also scored some great goals. Seem to remember Graham Dorrans uncle who called him 'Dorry' used to go on the old BBC 606 Baggies board.

Might be wrong on this but didn't he and his wife lose a child which effected him greatly and he was never the same player again.

Och aye the noo.... I wish him well in his return to his homeland.

Good luck to Northern Ireland v Switzerland tonight.....would love to see them make it; for the Irish, and all of our lads of course but particularly Brunty after missing the Euros last year with that injury. Would be fitting for him to figure in a big tournament final at last

Yes drewks totally agree just settling in to watch it, been a while since a team I can justify to myself, sort of supporting, where the team might actually get out of our own half, there might even be a goal Whistle Whistle

I watched the England match which was more of a Reserve game, really. I don't know if it says more about Southgate or about me, but I'd never even heard of a couple of the England team. (Perhaps I'm just not as interested anymore).
Liversalts had his usual game (ie nothing adventurous, and played more balls backwards than forwards.) I suppose while he keeps getting an England call-up his value will stay in the £10m range, but I'd take the money now if someone offered 8.
Outsiders must wonder how a player of his ability ever gets a call-up. I don't get it, and remember that 40 years ago Len Cantello somehow never got capped, and he was twice the player.

Jeeez - the more I see of anything PL the more I hate it. This latest bo**ocks in the aftermath of the Manchester derby with that Portuguese twot and ....Ooooo - somebody threw some MILK!! Sick

I despair.
Why don't all the little boys associated with football act a bit more like RU players/people - ie grow a pair. Angry

RANT OVER.
(for now)

Prima donna league. Never wanted to be in it but, now we are, I am forced to want to stay there. I was just talking to the old blokes in front if us on Saturday and we agreed the Championship is a better league.

All the Premier League is good for, when it comes to clubs outside the top 6, is the money that comes from being in the league and the better quality of players that can be signed with that money. There's simply no heart, no soul and no tradition in the Premier League anymore.

In my opinion it is the most overrated league in European football, even more overrated than La Liga in Spain.

Fick dich Premier League.

Yeah, why do they keep saying it's the best league in the world?!
