Hasn't played a league game for Bohemians, only a friendly appearance against Burnley, an Ireland u-18 appearance, and some 'A' games for Bohemians, currently fails WP:ATHLETE. Sunderland06 (talk) 15:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

  • I believe so, yes. Sunderland06 (talk) 22:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Actually [http://www.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/08/19/eLOI-OBrien-Part-Time-not-an-issue/?facets/sport-space/football/great-britain-locale/Shamrock-Rovers/eircom-League-Premier-Division/ this article] states that "four or five" out of the league's twelve teams are part-time, which to my mind doesn't make it a fully professional league -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:ATHLETE. Would fail even if he had played for Bohemians, as they do not play in a fully professional league. пﮟოьεԻ 57 07:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
