ldnj added 12:59 - Aug 26 Not every person responds well to being told they're not good enough ... isn't part of a managerial role knowing how to get the best out of different characters ?

BlueGriff added 13:49 - Aug 26 i am a garvan fan but he does not seem to have progressed much over the last two seasons. injuries havn't helped looks short of confidence

europeantour added 15:19 - Aug 26 Garvan 7, or maybe its because the standard of football at under 21 level is lower.

Surco72 added 15:33 - Aug 26 Why do people keep talking about Garvan not living up to his potential ? If he had he would probably have been bought by a bigger club already , he is still the best passer of the ball at the club and our most creative player ,who is better Trotter ? Martin ? Healy ?!!! Quinn ? Colback ? Peters? perhaps a reguar place in side and his confidence may grow as with a lot of the team

Eireannach_gorm added 17:42 - Aug 26 europeantour, obviously Championship football is be better than International football. Eoin is clearly a fragile soul ( evidenced by his 'nearly' retirement ) who needs a cuddle every now and then which I dont believe Roy is a big believer in. Maybe the RoI management team know when to use the carrot and when to use the stick.

garvan7 added 18:19 - Aug 26 must say its the first time ive seen Championship football called a standard above International football!! even at under 21 level! if anything it means he is playing good football in a team not as good as town!

TractorBoy500 added 00:34 - Aug 27 Keane seems to want him to play like he did and is too short-sighted to realise that Garvan brings different qualities to the game. And to Muhren; No, I haven't seen a lot of him this season because he hasn't been playing. He's our best player on form but he can't be expected to turn it on when he gets the odd 15 minutes here and there.
