Except it didn't work when I tried it initially, it does work now though. I also search back through 7 pages on threads
on the keyword Brady and it didn't find it (it should have as it was on page 7), It is not in links to players either

Yes I noticed, they give it to Ozil, but they were both rated 7.8.

I did notice the commentator praising him for an "Ozil like" pass at one point!!;)

[SkStu]

on two of the Norwich fan message boards (footymad and pink'un) theyre talking about him being player of the season for Norwich already. They rate him extremely highly with one poster talking about how suited he is to play with one of the top 4. Most want to see him in left mid but only because of what he contributes from an attacking perspective and not because of any fault defensively when he plays LB, in fact they praise his ability to play both left sided positions well.

Woah. Some high praise indeed. It's not just one or two that mention he'll be player of the season or is worthy of a top 4 side- it's almost the consensus. Delighted.

He is a cracking player and his time at left back has only served to improve the defensive side of his game which is no bad thing.

Drumcondra's gallant attempt at a Jonathan Walters chant reminded me of this. (http://www.independent.ie/sport/leftfield/video-ireland-fans-in-zenica-have-created-a-new-chant-for-robbie-brady-and-its-brilliant-34200747.html) Haven't seen it mentioned on here.

Think they might be over-egging how good it is ever so slightly.

[DeLorean]

In terms of creativity, yeah definitely.... but it's a really fun song for the fans to latch on to. I'm expecting scenes in some French square to be something like this (https://youtu.be/RaIjYvIayj0?t=1m58s) ;)

[Crosby87]

Thought RB was massive for Norwich first win at OT since 1989 I believe they said.
I haven't watched much EPL so far this season but a few things from this match:

So...Van Gaal doesn't want to go on the sideline and coach? And then Giggs jumps in bc he feel someone needs to do it? That's what the announcers were discussing. That seems so weird to me. it would never happen in any sport here. It seems like it would be impossible to succeed that way, no? Giggs is essentially just waiting for the man above him to get fired? But let me do yer job in the meantime anyway?

Norwich were leading 2-0 when Wes came off, MU scored within seconds. Coincidence? I think not!

They showed Keane leaving around the 75' mark. Announcer made a big play of it "Roy is finished. Would never have seen this in his day."
But I'm thinking, he's not there as a fan or MU alum, really right? As a pundit sure but your supposed to be objective there anyway...but really he was more so there to watch Brady and Wes no? Seemed like the announcers thought he was there as like....a fan. No mention of him being you know, employed by FAI.

One funny thing....dramatic speech by color guy about how raving mad the fans are, camera pans the crowd, guy having the biggest yawn I've ever seen on tv. "He shouldn't be yawning." Says the color guy. Oh, sorry!

Sorry if im pointing out obvious ****.

[CraftyToePoke]

Stick to the surreal one liners Crosby.

We have enough men in here to talk sense like that, plenty enough.

[SkStu]

Methinks Crozzer has watched his first game of soccer!

[tricky_colour]

Most Man U fans leave early when their team is losing Crosby, ie most weeks these days.

I wonder why he was watching Wes and Brady? Surely he knows what they can do at this stage? Should he not be watching the players like Elliot, Arter, Judge etc who might break in to the side?

I'd imagine it was because of who the opposition was. If he put his schedule together before Darmian got injured it would have been a chance to see 2 of our left sided players up against Italy's right back.

[dr_peepee]

Or... Was he watching Nathan Redmond!! ...

[DeLorean]

Brilliant goal after winning possession and firing a right footed shot in off the crossbar from outside the box. 1-0 Norwich.

[SkStu]

It was an absolute beauty off the underside of the bar...

[tricky_colour]

Similar in some ways to Liam Bradys goal, although different. :)

Robbie got man of the match on whoscored stats boosting him up to 23rd place.
Got rated 8.23 his second best of the season and best without scoring.

What happens when you lose teeth in an accident at his age? Do they find the teeth and reattach them somehow? Or does he get permanent replacement teeth? Or will he just get caps he can put in that aren't real teeth?

Always wondered this.

[Fixer82]

I would imagine false teeth. Although apparently there were people on the pitch looking for his teeth afterwards

Felt for the lad. If I lost my teeth like that at his age, it would traumatize me.

Yeah I'd be devastated. He'll probably end up looking like Matt Dillon in 'There's something about Mary'

[DeLorean]

They can do pretty amazing things in the dentist chairs these days. I wouldn't think it's a big deal at all without knowing the specifics.

Robbie off injured after 26 mins. Had been playing well with a few delightful set pieces (and a yellow card for a shocker of a tackle). Walked off. Looks like got studded.

Hoolohan quiet enough so far.

Vote early, vote often

[tricky_colour]

It went to Vardy unsurprisingly, Brady's goal was good but was never going to win.
The title is Leicester's to lose now.

[Fixer82]

Any photos of his new delph?

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Alex Neil didn't say anything about him losing teeth.

He said he chipped them rather severely.

[DeLorean]

I severely chipped my own front teeth once upon a time. All that required was some temporary white fillings, which have turned out to be more permanent really if you exclude one incident which involved a Moro bar!

[Stuttgart88]

There was a picture of 2 teeth flying through the air...

[damojag]

Where is his best position? He's too attacking-minded for left back in my opinion but then who does O'Neill pick for left back if Brady isn't there?

[DeLorean]

Just scored a priceless goal to put Norwich 1-0 ahead at West Brom.

He took a bit of a tumble a little later on apparently but was OK.


68 mins Looks like the stretcher's coming on for Brady. The physio is taking a great deal of care about examining his neck. He's OK to sit up, and actually gets to his feet now, they're happy nothing is broken.
But it did look like a very nasty fall - he was airborne when Dawson came in and took his legs out from underneath him. Drama over. No stretcher needed. We're back under way.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Out wide or left back? The eternal question.

I hope his future is in central midfield, most likely Hoolahan successor IMO.

[tricky_colour]

His stats are better as a midfielder for what it is worth but they are almost as good at left back, ie 7.21 v 7.42.

I guess you have to look at in context of the other options available on the left, some here are not too keen on Stephen Ward
but he is doing pretty well at Burnley who are top of the Championship.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Brady to the fore.


Norwich take the lead on the stroke of half-time! Brady whips in a brilliant inswinging free-kick and Timm Klose rises the highest to head past Darlow.
