Colin Healy

[glue]

Saw him play tonight against St Patricks Ath

In fairness he is a gem of a footballer still

He should be playing at English Championship or even Premiership level

Same with Joe Gamble if he was 6 inches taller (according to Dave Barry)

[storysham]

Healy has been immense all season. man of the match in the majority of games.
For his own sake i hope he leaves, be gutted to see him go but he is wasted at city playing with the dross around him. He should be aiming higher than scunthorpe.

Different class

I'd agree with all that, I just didn't think glue was aware of clubs the other side of the pond.

[Papa Smurf]

Good to see him playing well again, hes a talented footballer. playing ball with him most summers, years ago on the green in our estate, its amazing the difference between good local players and players who turn out to be good enough at the highest level. Like playing against a ghost, could take him down, not to mind trying to get the ball from him.

Played his best football with the hoops............... .....genius.

Why didn't a epl or pepsi fizzy drink championship team buy him from them when he left? ie. not sunderland, a proper club

Hah.....Island Way had quite the soccer team alright didn't they :D

Not a patch on Beech Road in Banana Island. Nobody could cope with the shape of the pitch. Shamrock Drive always had an ok team. Holly Road were poor though.

Worse "pitch" in the country, was called banana island for a reason.

There was talks of Holly Road entering MSL or AUL they were that good

We had a decent team on Banana Island alright.....always used the pitch to our advantage as well :D

Didn't most of the Holly Rd crew end with the island way squad....on account of ground sharing at the top of the hill n all that.......twas a shame, especially when they had a quality pitch available to them on Batt Youngs green!

I remember one time Island way poached Gearóid Cleary from Beech Road so Beech Road had a meeting and decided to lure him back by offering him a slice of our pocket money, dan bars and 3p refreshers. This was all before the Premiership. We were miles ahead of ourselves. His brother Cormac used have us doing grooling training regimes up the green in our combat gear and hurleys. Crazy shit.

Never mind the kill-joy lads. Goalposts for jumpers(sic) and all that.

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!


It was infact Healy who was the main instigator in the poaching of our player so it's relevant to this thread. Good player but how dare he stroll into Muskerry Upper and knock on one of our players doors and convince him to stroll down the hill into Muskerry Lower and up on into Island Way to play for them.

I didn't stand for it then and I won't stand for it now.

End of.

So there.

I agree, he should be aiming for a decent championship team. He's a quality player and he has really stood out this season.

Who the hell are you....no doubt a Beech Road man by the sounds of things....my identity is fairly obvious, but I'm intrigued now....I have a feeling we may have been through some epic battles with the lower muskerry crowd together

[Edmund Blackwater]

Could have been great.
Never really recovered from Roy Keane knifing him in the back.

[STEVIEG]

He is having a terrific season in fairness

Ha ha, met one of the lads on the team last night he was telling me. He said he heard one of your lads complaining afterwards "fuck sake like, no professionlas".

yeah if the rumours are to be believed he has both himself and obviously his unlucky injury record to blame for not being still playing across water.

I was going to give him a kick for poaching your players from muskerry upper but now I'm glad I didn't.

Colin probably enjoyed the chance of playing attacking football for the 1st time this season..:D

He was brilliant at Coventry a few years ago. Their supporters still talk about him, was always wondering where it went wrong because he was clearly talented. Maybe this will be the break he needs.

Nice fella, was very unlucky with the injuries, hope it works out for him.

Played with Coventry too, that's where he broke his leg, the first time.

[storysham]

Best of luck to him, he has been terrific all season for city, best player by a mile. €80000 is robbery.
Hope he makes a go of it over.

Ah no he broke his leg playing coventry. It was one of the Moroccans that was with them at the time that did it

Ya broke his leg against Coventry then broke it again in training, tackled by Mick McCarthy I think.

He could have 2-3 years in the Premiership left in him if he has a good season at Ipswich and gets a move.

Nah to be fair the Championship is his level at this stage of his career. With his fitness history and his age I don't think he'll manage a few years in the Prem.

Youseff Safri was playing for Norwich City against Coventry City when he broke Healy's leg. Sky Sports stopped showing the replay when the realised the magnitude of the injury

[duffer31]

delighted for healy. after a break and re-break of a leg he deserves this chance and more.

i remember it awful tackle by safri he totally meant it too-personally i dont think he ever got over it but i hope he does well with Roy

[SenorCarlsberg]

We could do with him playing regularly back in the championship and getting back in the irish side playing alongside darron gibson, so we don't have to look at that dublin gowl glen whelan anymore.

Didn't holly road/island way usually come away from batt young's green with a win though?

Never heard of them....ah wait maybe i have....they were the crowd that used the long grass on their home patch to their advantage like the Bolivians use the altitude of La Paz. The long grass didn't affect their long ball game while the 'visiting' footballing side's passing was grossly disturbed.

Who were these dodgey signings you speak of?
