If ronaldo or a brazillan scored the goal in the link below, i would how many zeros it would add to his value.

Poor goalkeeping is all that was. He wouldn't get a shot off like that playing over in England.

If you want to go down that road, then you could argue nearly every long range shot is like that.

please, if that was Robbie Keane or someone else, everyone here would be raving about it. Fair enough, CR, the kid has no talent and is just lucky. He shouldnt even be discussed. Satisfied now?

Yeah you're dead right. Elano's goal against Arsenal never happened.

It was a windup. The shot wasn't in England so it doesn't count.

What a retarded post. Are you not allowed hit long range shots in England if the keeper is off his line?

**livehead1** · 05/10/2008, 11:02 PM

It was a quality strike but perhaps the point is trying to be made that he wouldn't get the chance to strike it in the first place at a higher level. However, it was a good goal, and he certainly looks a decent footballer from all the youtube clips.

**irishultra** · 05/10/2008, 11:05 PM

but in serie a they don't rush and hurry, does that mean the loi has better quality football than the english league where its 100 miles an hour? i think so.

**gustavo** · 05/10/2008, 11:06 PM

True enough , you never see long range goals at higher level football

Saturday October 25 2008

OWEN HEARY (above) dodged the fireworks and inspired Bohemians to an emphatic FAI Ford Cup semi-final win over Dublin rivals St Patrick's Athletic.

The Gypsies captain was on target as the visitors at Richmond Park scored three first-half goals to set up a comfortable victory and ensure that the Saints finish this season with nothing.

Their misery will be compounded by fines as a result of the flares thrown onto the pitch by Saints fans, but some significant financial compensation is on the way for the Inchicore club with West Ham ready to take a punt on midfielder Keith Fahey.

Representatives from the Premier League side were present last night and, after monitoring the 25-year-old midfielder in recent weeks, they are understood to be ready to complete a deal to bring him to London after being impressed by his display.

Fahey hit the target in the second half, but it was not enough to inspire a comeback for the Saints.

I wish a Championship club would in for Fahey rather than West Ham, he will just rot in the reserves like Clive Delaney. Not a good move.

Hertha Berlin are a top 6 club in Germany. I would assume that is a lot better than West Ham. He certainly did not look out of place against them.

There are a lot of quality players in the premiership. Many are much better than those in our league but there are some mediocre ones as well.

**pete** · 26/10/2008, 8:09 PM

I don't see any evidence that West Ham are about to bid for Fahey. Scouts watch players all the time. When the manager comes to watch him only then will it become newsworthy.

No, I wouldn't say Hetha are better than Wast Ham, the Bundesliga is pretty poor. Playing well in a cup game isn't the same as playing well week in week out in the EPL. He won't make it at West ham or any other EPL team and you can quote me on that, if he could go to a Championship team and establish himself then maybe he could make the step up.

Bundesliga is not poor at all. Hertha Berlin would probably be better in a practical sense than West Ham. You think of Ashton and players like that and only cause' you know them assume they would be better.

Even if Fahey failed in the English League, that would not mean he hasn't got anything to offer.

We can obviously see he is a brilliant passer of the ball and always demands the ball in all situations, this won't change because he moves to (what I presume) in your mind is super duper England.

Fahey should try to stay away from England and give it a shot somewhere else in Europe. His style would be much more suited to there.

Fahey should be in the Irish team, because what he probably lacks at a real top level is consistency but in Int. Football that isn't as important with the matches being every so often.
