| !!!!UPDATE!!!!! "Colin Healy made Cesc Fabregas look like Colin Healy" 13:16 - Sep 24 with 16994 views | Swailsey |
2025 update:
I have been contacted by an anonymous source who claims that none other than Adrian Chiles uttered the phrase “Colin Healy made Cesc Fabregas look like Colin Healy” during ITV’s coverage.
I’ve scoured YouTube but cannot find it.
Is anyone who is savvier than me able to locate it/a transcript?
We’re so bloody close.
——
Right, FFS, once and for all.
Please can we figure out who said this first?
"Colin Healy made Cesc Fabregas look like Colin Healy"
Who said that? It's the best post on here I've ever seen and I want to know so I can include it in every year's polls.
Before you ask:
1) I've Googled it. It brings up my signature.
2) I can't find it in the search history.
3) I asked Phil in a thread. He ignored me, just because there was a match on.
4) It wasn't me, but I will claim it if no-one owns up. [Post edited 9 Jan 18:43]

It's a funny line but I don't think I've never heard it before so can't really help I'm afraid! |
Pardon? Are you serious? | |

Don’t be so modest, it was in your match report of course. |
Ah, of course, was just thinking it must have taken quite a mind to come up with that. |  | | |

The only Fabregas-related line I remember fron that game was him claiming we played rugby. | | | |

Phil, you and I go way back. I'd like to say we're certainly acquaintances, if not best friends.
Is there any way of searching the archives for this? | |

I reckon it’s fair game for you to claim as your own at this point. Given the amount of posters we’ve lost in the past 3 months alone I’d say there’s a good chance whoever said it no longer posts on here all these years later. |  |

Friends, surely! I don't think there is, to be honest. I think the forum database would have been cleared down since 2012. | | | |

You don't seem as wound up about it as you did four years ago, which speaks wonders for your personal development.
I, however, am absolutely fuming, nay, positively livid about the use of the passive voice in that quote; a fkn mealy-mouthed excuse of a reference! |  |

I consulted ChatGPT:
The phrase "Colin Healy made Cesc Fàbregas look like Colin Healy" appears to have originated from discussions among Ipswich Town fans, particularly on the TWTD.co.uk forums, following Ipswich Town's 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the League Cup Semi-Final first leg on January 12, 2011. In that match, Colin Healy's performance was notable, and the expression humorously suggests that Healy outperformed Fàbregas, making the renowned Arsenal midfielder seem ordinary by comparison.
Despite extensive searches and discussions, the exact individual who first coined this phrase remains unidentified. Forum members have attempted to trace its origin, but no definitive attribution has been made. The phrase has since been referenced in various discussions and even made its way into Colin Healy's Wikipedia page, though without a specific source.
In summary, while the phrase is popular among Ipswich Town supporters and adds to the lore of that memorable match, the original author remains unknown. |  |

I was bored earlier so went through the comments of every Healy story from that game to when he re-joined Cork.
I think we have to make peace with it that it was on the forum or chat and has been lost to history. | |

It couldn't have been as late as 2021 could it? Suspect it's a copy... | |
