Ireland debut in doubt?

The tree is said to be fine, albeit a little shaken up.
She was released a mere two days after the crash and was taken back to the family home in Cheshire, but on Wednesday her condition worsened and was rushed back into hospital. The spokesperson for the couple said:
“It was a pretty bad smash and Jessica has got a lot of internal swelling and a cracked ankle.
“She has had a series of scans to check for internal bleeding and possible organ damage. Stephen is devastated but, at the same time, grateful it wasn’t worse.“
It’s an unfortunate run of bad luck for the Irish player who, after injury, found himself unwanted at Manchester City and moved to Aston Villa last summer only to find himself once again left in the cold, later picking up an injury. With the close links between the City of Newcastle upon Tyne and the medical profession, we signed him on loan until the end of the season. Shrewd move, eh?
He was also at the heart of a media attack when he was pictured at Tup Tup Palace in the city centre raising his shirt with Leon Best and Stephen Folan. Something over nothing according to Alan Pardew, but he still made the decision to ban the squad from the popular club.
Ireland will be hoping to make his debut, but whether or not he is willing to play while his loving girlfriend is laying in a hospital bed is an entirely different story, but the same could be said for Peter Lovenkrands who will forever be remembered for his goal celebration against West Brom, mere days after his fathers death.
I think I speak for every Newcastle fan when I say that if Stephen Ireland can return to even half the form he had at City, he can prove to be a big, big player for us and we should wish him the best in his personal matters, and of course on the pitch, whenever that may be.
Can’t his Mrs. just watch online?
