Congratulations to Stephen Ireland’s hairdresser who seems to have found a cure for baldness. Last season the Manchester City midfielder sported a hairline not to dissimilar to that of Monty Burns. And yet this season the occasional Republic of Ireland international has a fringe The Beatles would be proud of. Spooky you might think, but keep in mind that this is a guy used to dealing with grandmothers coming back from the dead.
In slightly less frivolous news (not by much though), Ireland has kept Dead Grannygate going by withdrawing from the latest Irish squad. He said: “I have thought long and hard about whether I would do my country and myself justice if I joined up with the squad. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I would on this occasion.” Steve Staunton and Sven Goran Eriksson appear eager to let sleeping grannies lie, but Ireland himself has got other ideas it seems.

    Surprising that he’s pulled out of the squad because he obviously doesn’t mind being a fringe player.

    he obviously has some issues. he pulled out of an irish under age squad years ago when brian kerr was youth team manager. It was around the time of roy keane and saipan. He must have a screw loose somewhere, but he is some footballer on his day none the less

    its a sad day for the republic,when this little ‘baldy shit’has to make up lies so he does’nt have to play a match in front of 70000 people,i personally dont believe he’s wag had a miscarrage,surely that alone is good enough reason to get time off and now he has’nt the balls to face the faces proves me even more certain.

    Stephen is a great player and always was. That thing about him pulling out of the under age Irish squad was due to him being dropped from the team 15 mins before kick off in his home twon of Cobh!!!
    He will be a big loss in the coming qualifier games!

    he’s always had hair like that to be honest.I was in school with him for about 6 years but sure we didnt even know what hair gel was at that point.I don’t think its very funny using puns about his Gran like the ones above without mentioning the reasons he had.He’s a sound guy who never too sides socially when we were growing up and I don’t think football,no matter how important the game is to world,can replace the loss of a child.That being his reason behind the misinformation involving his grandmother.Take a look at your own lives.

    Every single Irish person had a laugh when they found out about his grannies. Nobody was angry but he was gon to get a bit of stick for it. For him to pull out of the Irish squad is a disgrace & he shouldn be allowed back if he doesn’t realise what a privillage it is.
