Not getting involved in tit for tat but I attempted to defend his performance against Russia evening watching the match back a couple of times and posting some type of statistics of his performance. I said at the time I thought he was our best player on the night, and stand by that. He's been our player of the campaign for me.
It's nice also to have an entertaining player when we're playing such a boring style.
Set up Ibson for the Spartak equaliser before they were beaten 3-1 (his first league game of the season). Thoroughly brutal start to the league for Spartak, some sites have him down as #8, some as #64 from last season?
It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at Porto on Thursday, tough one for Spartak, Porto unbeaten and just after winning the league.
He is #8 this season, but still has to wear 64 in Europe as that's what he's registered as.Quote:

When he played, Keane was the irrepressible master at the heartbeat of our team. Against Iceland all those years ago, he stupidly handed Iceland their second goal and after that he just relentlessly drove the team on to score 3 goals.
Porto vs Aiden McGeady's Spartak Moscow™ is live tonight on 3e.
You spelled Makgidi wrong.
I hear that the Ajax board resigned in the wake of a McGeady inspired AidenMcGeady'sSpartakMoscow chucking them out of this competition.
Porto would be the strongest team left?
It's on ITV4 over here just FYI.
Who would the Dublin crowd want, or would they care? Do they even know it's on?
I reckon McGeady would be a good publicity tool.
Porto v Benfica would be the stand out I suppose. Moscow v Kiev maybe?
I was helping Tets keep McGeady's stats for his Irish abroad site but don't know if I have the time to keep up with this...anybody want to take over and contribute to the database?
in case anyone is interested here is a stream to the Europa League game

Who's the co-commentator on 3e?
3-0 down, taken off. Bye Bye Spartak
or not perhaps. 3-1.
Spartak seem to lack what Trapattoni calls mentalitee. They gave up the second and third goals so casually. I saw players losing the ball around their own box and just strolling away and leaving someone else to deal with it. Lifeline with that superbly taken goal though.
You were right the first time. 4-1.Quote:

Bumping this in case anyone missed it.Quote:

I can help out, I won't be able to get to many of the home games live, but it's on NTV plus here and I usually watch the highlights shows. Spartak are crud, crud supporters, crud management, crud stadium, but some tasty players (like our boy).
Stream here, only 15 mins left though:

Had forgotten about it. 0-0 with Terek at the moment. Don't see any sign of Aiden though.
EDIT: He's there. Just won a corner.
Forgot about your reply until just now Spudulika, Kingdom sent me a PM a few hours before you replied. I've offered it to him, and I'm waiting back on a reply. If he turns it down then I'll offer it to you, ok?Quote:
