Poor fixture. Only 28 caps between them, only 29 votes in first round. Both lucky to get this far!

I hugely disagree with the above post.

McCourt is my TIP to win the whole thing. I'm TEAM PADDY.

Let me explain why:

He was called PADDY.
He looked like an ALCOHOLIC.
He would only make CAMEO appearances in which he would play like an exciteable 8 year old who has just been told he has 5 minutes before he needs to get back home for his tea. Initially sulking around the pitch but then, the moment he gets the ball, he goes HEAD DOWN-DRIBBLE crazy, ignoring ALL CALLS to pass it. Fantastic stuff. And then, he's done. Paddy's done his part and cracks open another can of Special Brew.
He is the absolute epitome of flair and luxury player . Insane youtube highlights video and clearly hugely talented yet not a hope of being a regular due to lack of positional sense or fitness.
And, again, he looks like a drunk.

What a man.

Paddy McCourt has to be a contender to win the entire thing! He has an insane level of FLAIR!

McCourt correctly wiping the floor with Hawkins.

Paddy could go far.

Not for me. I get his cameo appearances and the fact he looks like a drunk, but for me I want flair and flair end product. Running fast with the ball at your feet and your head down isn't flair enough for me.

also despite looking like an absolute HOBO paddy has a really beautiful wife

It would seem appropriate to award Hawkins a red card at this point.

Should never have been in the competition in the first place.

Paddy, on the other hand........
Does anyone have that picture of him where it looked like he'd spent the night in a cardboard box?

 

[the wanderbus]

How the **** these two donkeys get past the initail group is beyond me. It's like choosing between dog shit sandwich or a cat shit sandwich!

 

[Luke93]

I'm backing Paddy all the way to final, then changing vote to honour the fact he never had an end product!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I can't believe Hawkins got this far and Jonny "Holly Valance" Dixon didn't. Shambles

 

[Mellotron]

Agreed. Dixon should've been a contender. Many good flairtributes.

It wouldn't be the first time he's been one on one with a creation of sublime beauty.

 

[martin tyler]

Paddy epitomises flair.
Skill - check
Disturbingly lack of end product - yep
Looks like he has just rolled Off a park bench - defiantly
Some interesting dress sense - (seen a few dodgy outfits on the guy)
Had his own song almost instantly - naff as it was but yes
Was a (false) shining light in what can only be described as a fire season - defiantly.
Was once voted (with some mod help) the greatest player ever to pull on a BHA shirt -

More to the point, does anyone have a picture of Paddy where it DOESN'T look like he's spent the night in a cardboard box?
