From Dalymount to Parnell Park: Shane Supple has had a busy sporting weekend

The goalkeeper is in action today for St Brigid’s.

SHANE SUPPLE’S GOALKEEPING talents means he’s a man in demand these days and it’s been a busy weekend for the dual star.

On Friday night, the 29-year-old kept a clean sheet to help Bohemians to victory in the League of Ireland Dublin derby over Shamrock Rovers.

And today he’s lining out for St Brigid’s at Parnell Park for their Dublin SFC second round clash with Ballymun Kickhams.

Supple, part of the Dublin panel for four years, has recently committed his future to Bohemians having signed a new contract for the 2017 season.

He only returned to the game in June after ‘falling out of love with it’ during a difficult period away from home at Ipswich Town.

Upon his return to Ireland, Supple resurrected his Gaelic football career with Brigid’s and it’s great to see such a talented goalkeeper so committed to two causes while also rediscovering his best form.

    Another fella who wasted his talent. Similarly to anthony stokes. Also stephen ireland, those 3 should have backboned the irish team for the last 10 years.

    @Wheresmyjumper: Maybe ya, but he had the talent as a young lad and just didn’t work hard enough at it! The other 2 though, imagine if they were our midfield partnership for the last 12 years!

    @Gareth Ward:
    We achieved more with wheels in midfield than we ever could of with Gibson or Ireland, Glenn is a pro who wanted to play . Gibson never gave it his all to any team he played for. How Stephen Ireland was treated by both Man City and the FAI is a totally different story . Stephen Ireland could of achieved a lot more in the game and I’ve a lot of sympathy for him and his story . Gibson however I wouldn’t trust him to hand out the jerseys and has never looked like a player who cared about anything except for a gargle.

    @Shane Lad: Ya Whelan has been grand like when we’ve had no one else. But what im saying is if Gibson had delivered on his potential he would have been so much better than Whelan

    @Gareth Ward:”grand when we had no one else” that’s harsh, whelan a fantastic pro put a few them boys to shame, it’s not as if we never had any other options in midfeild either and we had throw poor Glenn there he was there on merit.

    @Wheresmyjumper: He wasn’t found out, he was fond of the drink which most young Irish players were back then.

    We achieved more with wheels in midfield over the last few years than we ever would of with Ireland or Gibson. Glenn is a pro who wants to play . I’ve a lot of sympathy for Stephen Ireland and his story. The way he was treated by city and the FAI was disgusting and he could of achieved a lot more in the game . As for Gibson, he’s never given his all to any team he’s been in because he doesn’t care.

    @Shane Lad: I would say taking everything Stephen Ireland says as gospel truth is very dangerous. There’s a reason his career went the way it did after packing in Ireland and then City- perceived “disgusting” treatment with both can’t have applied.

    @Shane Lad: “The way he was treated by city and the FAI was disgusting ”

    Yes because what happened with Stephen Ireland was everyone elses fault but him, pull the other one Shane.
