POOR FABIO CANNAVARO. All he wanted to do was salute fellow warrior Steven Gerrard after the Liverpool man’s final appearance at Anfield. It all seemed so simple. Too simple, even.
All he had to do was type a nice message into the Facebook text box, paste in a photo and the job would be done. Then back to driving around Italy in his Ferrari convertible with his supermodel wife.
No doubt his photo started beeping madly once this went up.
There is no need to spare Cannavaro’s feelings here: this is NOT an easy mistake to make. Now let’s enjoy the time Martin O’Neill burned him and Patrick Vieira during the last World Cup.
H/T to the Sports Bible for the screengrab.
Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season
O’Connor is just all wrong for Leinster.
He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.
Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think
That pop pass from O’Brien
Battle between him and Madigan for the 12 jersey next season.
It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.
It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
