Robbie Brady (M Preston b.1992)

[Bungle]

By all accounts, Ferguson tried to talk him into staying but he wasn't so bothered that he would block the transfer. That's generally how Ferguson operates and he's rarely made a mistake.

I don't particularly like United and Fergie isn't exactly the nicest of blokes, but he is one of the greatest managers of all time. Robbie is obviously a very good talent, but the fact that Fergie didn't put up too much of a fight to keep him would be a concern. He had Cleverley on loan for a few years at various clubs, but he seemed to always believe that he had a future at OT. He obviously didn't think the same of Robbie.

Every time, I've seen Robbie he's looked very good, but there's a world of a difference between being good against Oman or Derby County and then being able to turn it on against Sweden away or Chelsea. I'm not sure he's going to be the next world class prodigy that we crave, but I do think that he can be a good, maybe very good premiership player.

[Charlie Darwin]

I dunno, the interviewer might just have asked him if he'd like to play for United again and then phrased it stupidly in the article.

[geysir]

Possibly Brady was flummoxed by the question and just gave some stock reply.

It was a contradictory question to ask when the premise for the article is
'Robbie Brady has admitted he took the agonising decision to leave Manchester United to protect his fledgling international career.'

[Charlie Darwin]

I'd be willing to bet he wasn't asked the question at all. If you read his response, it certainly doesn't sound like he's responding to the question. I'm guessing he was asked something like whether he thinks he was good enough to make it there and he was trying to explain why the manager didn't feel comfortable giving him more opportunities.

[geysir]

You mean the journalist asks one question in the actual interview, Brady answers it, then later the journalist edits out the question, substituting it with another question he didn't ask, a question that contradicts the premise of the article?
:confused:
Mmmm
Not bad Charlie,
but I'm not sure if that's an example of your (on occasion) brilliant 'outside the box thinking' or just adding to the madness.

[Charlie Darwin]

My brilliant 'outside of the box' thing sometimes deserts me but in this case I am speaking from experience of how these things come about :)

edit: I don't think the journalist meant to contradict the premise of the article, it's just clumsy phrasing that adds to the confusion. Basically, Brady left for a reason but can feel aggrieved he wasn't afforded more opportunities - the way it reads, Brady was explaining the latter but the writer has clumsily made it out like he was pushed out.

[SkStu]

pressed further by Geysir about whether or not he was suffering from some form of mental illness, Charlie Darwin responded non-committally adding "my brilliant outside the box thinking sometimes deserts me".

[Carrigaline]

Two assists for Brady tonight to secure victory for Hull.

[Carrigaline]

Another assist today. His left foot is a thing of wonder.

[Carrigaline]

Zzzzzzzzz, all these updates are getting boring, another assist for Brady tonight.

[tommy_c12000]

Incidently, his assist tonight was from his right foot. A deep inswinging cross from the left with his right. Quinn provided the first assist for Elmo. Apparently Meyler had a fine game too. Hull City 2nd in championship and are looking stronger with every game. Tonight's win makes it 3 wins in the last 3 games. Of note, leaders Cardiff slipped up 0-2 at home to Brighton

[Charlie Darwin]

Great to hear. Hopefully he can start adding some goals to those assists and we'll have a real player on our hands.

[tetsujin1979]

goals on 101great goals: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/hull-2-blackburn-0/
excellent assists from the Irish players at Hull.

[tricky_colour]

Good set of result for Hull of results with Leicester losing, indeed Cardiff losing too, both at home.
If they carry on like that a good chance of Brady Meyler Quinn and McShane in the Premiership next season.

[SkStu]

Scores for Hull direct from a free but they're 4-1 down.

Goal - Robbie Brady - Bolton 3 - 1 Hull City
Free kick scored by Robbie Brady from long range to the bottom right corner of the goal. Bolton 3-1 Hull.

[rebelmusic]

2 assists again yesterday and 1 for Meyler. Anyone have his assist count for the season?

[Charlie Darwin]

No idea, but he's certainly stepped it up in the last month or two. Cardiff lost today but with 5 points and a game in hand their lead is probably still unlikely to be assailable. Wolves' equaliser against Watford last night did Hull a huge favour last night - let's hope last week's defeat was just a blip.

Says 9 here.

[Charlie Darwin]

Another assist tonight, setting up Meyler for a last minute consolation in a 4-2 loss to Crystal Palace.

[tricky_colour]

I think Andy Reid also had 9 when I looked but it was 7+2 for non-league games, the Hull site does not break down
the figures though. Reid has more goals though 5 v 2.
Also Simon Cox 7 assists and 5 goals.
Forest have do a bit of a run together 4 wins on the bounce giving a play off chance if they keep it up.

Yeah finally they have a manager in there who knows the club and what the challenge is and hasn't been sold the job based past glories.
He shouldn't have been fired in the first place. Funny that a few of the players that fell out of favour when he was gone have come straight back into the starting line-up and are playing well.
They will probably make the play-offs again but fail in the semis and he will get fired again.

[Charlie Darwin]

Just put Hull 1-0 up at home to Middlesbrough. Could be very important with Watford only a point behind and facing Cardiff this evening.

[tommy_c12000]

Just scored a fantastic free kick for Hull City to put them 1-0 up. Could be a huge goal for them in their promotion drive with rivals Watford playing Cardiff in late kick off. Villa still 1-0 against Stoke, if they hold off it would be a huge win. And Norwich just scored again to lead 2-1.

Hopefully all this will translate into Brady, Meyler, Grealish, Burke, Carruthers, Drennan, Hoolahan and Pilkington all playing premiership football next year with James McCarthy getting a deserved move to a top tier club after Wigan being relegated . . . . . just my own wishes (forgot Bruce and McShane . . .)

Snap! Got a bit too carried away at the end to allow you sneak in front of me!

[tommy_c12000]

Was fooled by the typical Sky Sports hyperbole . . . this is the "fantastic" free kick they described earlier.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3eDs2Ee34GQ

Yera, they all count!

[SkStu]

Not the greatest I suppose. Bounced it right in front of the keeper though which is always going to pose problems.

By the way, nice to see H from Steps there at the other end.

[Charlie Darwin]

He did put it through a very tight gap in the wall and it bounced in the perfect place. Not sure I'd call it unbelievable Jeff though.

[Yard of Pace]

To be fair to Sky Sports, their reporter at the game said it wasn't a very good free and should've been saved!

I was quoting their running commentary on Skysports Live.

"Robbie Brady scores a fantastic goal direct from the free kick from outside the box to the top right corner of the goal." A bit wide of the mark . . .

[tommy_c12000]

Meyler taken down, Brady converts penalty to put Hull City 1-0 up against Mick McCarthy's Ipswich Town

[SkStu]

Stephen Ward and Sean Scannell with the goals in the Wolves Huddersfield game...

(Might as well put it here)

[geysir]

BBC text say it was a 'placed penalty' by Brady.
That could mean a lot of things.

[tommy_c12000]

Watford 1-0 down at half time. If scores stay the same Hull City will have a 6 point cushion (with inferior goal difference) with 4 games remaining

[Crosby87]

Watford lost 3-2. Or should i say POSH 3 Hornets 2

[Stuttgart88]

Brady supplied the cross for Hull's winner. TV reporter (I think I was watching Final Score on BBC) waxed lyrical about Brady, saying he's going to have a huger career. Meyler must be counting his blessings!

[liamoo11]

it was a beautiful ball in for the winner picked koren out sweetly

[tommy_c12000]

Classy ball in alright. http://www.footytube.com/video/ipswich-town-hull-city-apr13-170311?ref=lchan_vidgrid

According to their fans forum, Brady was man of the match with Quinn and Meyler have excellent games too. Augurs well for the future, fingers crossed

[tommy_c12000]

Hull City stumbling over the finish line. Really poor 2nite against Bristol City, game finished 0-0. Poor game from Brady, appalling delivery all game. Meyler was not too bad. He had a huge chance at the end to win the game but keeper saved well. Pressure on Watford to win 2moro

[BonnieShels]

Well well...

Coolly tucked away a penalty to put Hull 1-0 up at home to Norwich.

[DannyInvincible]

Brady taken off on 78 minutes as ten-man Hull bolster their defence for the final ten minutes. Good performance from him and worked hard despite Sagbo's first-half sending off severely stunting Hull's attacking options.

[DannyInvincible]

Brady's goal today:

[Charlie Darwin]

Scored within a minute of coming in extra time to put Hull through against Leyton Orient.

Scored within a minute of coming in extra time to put Hull through against Leyton Orient.

Even better than that according to the BBC site, he scored 2 minutes before he came on!!!



Leyton Orient 0 Hull 1
Brady 107′


21 Mclean (Brady - 109' )
25 Stewart (Townsend - 55' Booked )

Dunno if they have fixed it yet!!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23764044

No they haven't!! He is some player when he can score from the bench!!!

[Charlie Darwin]

John Hartson very complimentary about Brady's defensive shift v Man City today, albeit they just conceded a goal down his side. By all accounts, Hull have controlled the game and should be winning. Trap take note.

[geysir]

He has brains and does the required brawny work.
That was from what I saw of the first half and snatches of the 2nd half.
I don't know what more Trap requires from Brady, except that he jump up and down, staring madly but directly into Trap's eyes, screaming 'I can do it' 'I can do it'?

[elroy]

Was excellent today - probably Hulls best player. Continually gets mentioned by Bruce as well. Should start for us on Friday.

[Charlie Darwin]

Sky's Fantasy Football show have picked out Brady as this week's bargain buy.

[DannyInvincible]

Had a great game today against Newcastle by the sounds of things.

Here's his goal, which made it 1-1:


http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14zaus_hul_sport?start=14

He also assisted Elmohamady's headed goal from a free-kick.
