Cisse Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sent off tonight for Motherwell. Naughty boy. I really hope he does well there. Actually I hope he will come back to us as a better player. I haven't seen him a whole lot but from what I have seen I still believe he can be a decent player for us some day.

Ambitious Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Anyone know how he is getting on. I've just seen he's starting every game, so he must have some report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think he's had a couple of MOTM performances for them actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 DERBY County defender Mark O'Brien was controversially sent off during a Scottish League Cup tie on Wednesday night. O'Brien was red-carded playing for loan club Motherwell against Hamilton. The Irishman was booked during the half-time interval, for a challenge at the end of the first period which had initially gone unpunished by referee Craig Charleston. O'Brien then picked up a disputed second yellow card in extra-time. The tie ended goalless but it was Hamilton who eventually went through 6-5 on penalties. Motherwell boss Stuart McCall was left baffled by the decision to dismiss O'Brien. "I've never seen that in my entire life," said McCall. "O'Brien makes a tackle and the referee blows for half-time. "We all came off the park and go in the dressing room, and the fourth official comes and says he wants to have a word with Mark O'Brien, after being harangued coming off the park. Then he calls him in and books him. "Why didn't he book him on the park? "I thought 'here we go', this is going to be typical - and the second yellow, he body-strengths him off the ball. "The second yellow card is an absolute joke. It's barely a foul and if that's a yellow card, I'm Dutch. "That decision swung the balance of the game."

Gypsy Ram Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I feel for the guy, he would have been a top defender if it wasn't for all his injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There's plenty of time for him yet. He's still a babby by central defender standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennettDCFC Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I rate O'Brien, he won a lot of headers for his size and never scared of putting a tackle in.. People seem to forget he is still a young lad with years left in him... I think injury free and a strong season with Motherwell may see him come back to us and be around the team as cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't think he has any future here. Not good enough for me but will do ok in the lower leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 O'Brien as a youngster was miles ahead of Bucko in the pecking order before his latest batch of industries. Some will say that Bucko's improved no end, but how much more can a young O'Brien improve under the current coaching setup? He's a lad who defends with his life, incredibly brave, going all out to block the shot or make that tackle when needed. Anything not to concede a goal. I don't know anything about him personally, but after the health problems he had I suspect he's likely to have a great attitude too, realizing how fortunate he is to be playing football. I cannot fathom why some are so negative about him and really hope he can prove his fitness properly in Scotland, before having another go with us.
