How much did pats get for him?

Well in fairness I'm sure everyone would like to know how much he'll cost in Fantasy Football next year if Birmingham get promoted.Quote:

You based all that on the fact that he came from the LOI... bravo! You've probably never even seen him play. He's quality.Quote:

He'll drop out of the first team before long, then when Birmingham get promoted he'll get offloaded on loan to some crappy SPL side where he'll continue to look awful before getting released on a free and rejoining pats.

Some very interesting comments from the B'ham city fans message board forum:
"Today there was a light, a very bright light in the darkness of St Andrews. Maybe the manager is staring to notice this light? Fahey was like a breath of fresh air, head always up when the ball was at his feet, always in space when we had the ball and more than willing to track back and cover when we didn’t! If only we had another 10 with a similar attitude, his goal I am told was deliberate and not an attempted cross as I 1st thought!!"
"Fahey may be the bloke we've needed in midfield for about 30 years."
"Keith Fahey: We've got a player on our hands. I only wish he (or someone like him) had been here all season, things would have been so much different. He looks a bit lightweight and I doubt he'd make too much of an impression in the prem but that's a debate for another day, possibly. I thought he meant his goal but I accept that it's up for debate. If he did mean it then it's the greatest goal I've seen down the Blues since??? since??? Larsson's against Sheff W on the last home game of the last season we were in this division I suppose, if not longer."
"Fahey looks a class act, and he must be given a starting position against Coventry. I would like to see him and Carsley in central midfield. I know my dislike of anything to do with Bowyer is coloring my judgement, but I think Fahey is the future for Blues, and we should play him in his natural position."
"Fahey is already proving to be a very good signing and just what we needed."
Sunday Times says it looked suspiciously like an attempted cross. Might vindicate Ciaran :)
Fair play to the lad. I hope he continues to do well for many reasons, not least because we could do with an elegant athletic midfielder in the Ireland team but also just to continue to show that the domestic game is capable of nurturing talent if they remain at home for long enough (Ok, I know that Fahey has been to the UK and back but the LOI was certainly pivotal in his development and a good enough shop window for those prepared to look).
Great - The first goal for Fahey! I was really happy when I saw it yesterday in the liveticker.
Btw: Anywhere a video with his goal?
I expect it'll be on ITV's "The Championship" this morning, and SKY's Football League Review which is shown a few times during the week.
Just saw the goal on ITV, no replays. Looks to me like he definitely meant it. Beautiful poked lob.
Haha its just after being on The Championship.
Id say it was a shot and it was some goal :D
Just saw it too. Class goal, whether he meant it or not!
definitely meant it, quality goal!!!
He said himself that he did not mean it.Quote:

Just saw the goal by Keith Faaaahey on Sky Sports, great goal, muppet of a commentator.
Definitely meant it, there was no one else in the box
Wouldn't be the first time an Irish player crossed the ball into an empty box though would it...Quote:

Peach of a goal whether he meant it or not :)
Based on what we saw from the fella last season its not difficult to believe he is capable of intentionally scoring like that.
It looked like he meant it to me and it was a cracking goal.
There was no-one in there to cross to, looks like he meant it.
GLad to see him get off to a good start, anyone who say him play last season knew that he was well capable of holding his own in the Championship, anyone who didn't see him play and made sweeping statements based on his being an LoI player is probably going to avoid this thread for the forseeable future.
:confused: They were at least two Birmingham players in the box (that could be seen anyway). He's said more than once that he was trying to cross it. Don't know how anyone can still try and claim he meant it.Quote:

Right so
BTW the messi thing is laughable (even if he meant it)
Nice little finish but FFS
To be honest if I was Fahey I'd be claiming I meant it :) he'll learn!
whatever about whether he meant it, his touch to bring the ball under control was lovely.
The Brum fans says he's lightweight but if they've seen any of our other midfielders they'd see he's a relative giant.
Did he change his name by deed poll when he went to Birmingham
It would be great if Reading, Wolves Birmingham all got promoted
Hunt
Hunt
Doyle
Long
Gleeson
Ward
Foley
Keogh
C. Doyle
Carsley
Fahey
Have I left anybody out
Saying that Preston have a few Irish lads also in Nolan Elliot and St Ledger and Burnley have Mc Cann

So were Birmingham before Saturday.
I seen him play against sheff wed a few weeks back and I thought he more than held his own. good to see him get a goal.
