Did you make that video? If so I apologise for robbing all the clips and making the video more "neutral friendly". :) A few of the clips are mine anyway.Quote:

Had another blinder today and prob should have got MOTM. Was particularly good tracking back and has greatly improved defensively

McGeady set up McDonald's goal today with a pass and scored himself with a typical cut inside from the left. He also set up 2 chances which both hit the post, one a cross to Hartley and one a through ball to McDonald.
Very good. Had to add that one to my favourites on you tube.Quote:

For those of us who love football, it has been fascinating to watch Aiden McGeady. Still just 21, the Celtic winger appears to have been bobbing and weaving in our midst for years and has already played over 100 matches in his young career. Yesterday, McGeady also offered a revealing insight into his continual striving to improve his game.

As a Celtic fan I was a huge Strachan fan until recently. When I look back and see he hasn't really improved Celtic since his first season. I always believe he's a world class coach though and wouldn't want anyone else coaching McGeady. Robbie Keane said again recently that Strachan was the best manager he worked under.
Coaching is crucial for McGeady. There are some managers that would let McGeady just run at players week in week out whipping in crosses. Strachan is turning him into an all round intelligent player. When he's in his late 20's, early 30's he'll be controlling games. It's a long time yet but we've really never had a player of the type I believe McGeady will be.
Sven has really given me confidence in S.Ireland's ability and then there's a few others like Garvan and McCarthy coming through. We could potentially have an excellent midfield. I don't think it's like potential we've known for years with Ireland, good at a young age and fail. McGeady, Ireland, Garvan and McCarthy won't fail imo. I really believe they'll all be top level standard, just a matter of how good after that. I'm really guessing on McCarthy but if he's as intelligent as I think he is then he'll make it.
Sven has impressed me so much with the way he has treated the youngster's at Man City. He has shown them respect and has been patient enough to allow them bad games in the hope that they will come through and it seems to be paying dividends.
My big worry about the future midfield is that it could be incredibly lightweight. If we were to play McGeady, Duff and Ireland in the same midfield, there wouldn't be a decent tackle between them. We would be relying on a player like Carsley, or Hamann at City, or Butt at Newcastle, to do all the fetching and carrying by themselves. Are the likes of McCann, Whelan, Garvan, etc up to that job, or should we start thinking about a 5 man midfield with two of those players and one up front?
That's the problem, lots of talent but little physicality. If the new coach is a proper football thinker then maybe he can do something. A fit Steven Reid ought to be the key in some capacity. I've been really impressed by Spurs under ramos. They don't have any great physicality in midfield but they close down at high speed and attack in bunches. Fitness rather than physicality is more the recipe.
That's a brilliant collage of McGeady. My 2 year old was fascinated too, hopefully he was taking it all in!
Yeh I think playing Duff, Ireland and McGeady in the same team we'd have no option but to go 4-5-1 with Carsley atm as the defensive midfielder. It's great that we have quite a few attacking players now that will have to do with a spot on the bench.Quote:

Easily could have been anyone who saw the previous post.Quote:

Maybe Trapatoni with Brady as his assistant. They worked together at Juventus.
Hopefully he's got a paisan called Cafolla, Borza or Macari.Quote:

"Ich habe fertig". He's struggling in Austria with Salzburg even though they are bankrolled by Red Bull. Don't think he is the man for us.Quote:

Will he live longer than the process takes?
would be an awful appointment in my opinion. I don't think the guy even speaks English. Would look ridiculous .. the English appoint an Italian and we ape them again.
followers of Bayern Munich remember his attempts at German .. just google "Ich habe fertig"
Trapattoni along with Brady may not be too bad. But it kind of reminds me of Vogts and Scotland
Trapattoni is also under contract. Another good day for the bookies.
Thanks to Trapattoni, my huge green on the betfair market has now gotten bigger :) I think the FAI should string this process out for at least another year, I'll be a millionaire :D
Think he deserves his own thread by now.
Sky sources say he's "deep in talks with the FAI" just announced there on SSN.
Seems as if this could be the man
I don't know about this guy, had a poor enough record in the championships with Italy, and known for being over-defensive. His time with Stuttgart as well was fairly poor. His recent record has not been great, and considering he is now working in Austria.....
Well better than El Tel anyway:D
His press conferences would be more entertaining than Stan's, that's for sure ;)

just in from football and not only has my Brazil tickets arrived but Sky sports had this as breaking news and it looks possible. I'm excited at the news - at least the panel are thinking outside the box. At 68 though is he too old?
here his record spot the league of ireland club he managed!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Trapattoni
just read his profile, won a trophy with every team he managed:ball:
Well he certainly has more experience than stan. Tell ye lads, after reading up on him i would be happy with him and Liam Brady. I was saying id like Brady if he had experience anyway
Gone 4/7 on paddypower.com
Was 13/8 about half hour ago
He hasn't won anything with the only international team he managed.Quote:

This looks good. Great managerial record. I'd be very happy if this comes off.
You should read again then!Quote:

Thats five outta ten of the clubs he managed. But dont let that get in the way of a bit of hyperbole.
Not sure why everyone is convinced this will be a great appointment.
I just don't see our players adapting to an ultra-defensive mindset.

thats actually would be comical:Quote:
The FAI remain hopeful that a new boss will be in place before the friendly with Brazil on 6th February, but for the time being team affairs are being handled by Don Givens, Don Howe and Ray Houghton.
