Started agains Anzhi this afernoon. Decent stream here:
http://realtvsport.com/channel-6.php

Currently 1-1 , he's had some decent touches/runs and had a shot go narrowly wide, Anzhi equalising immediately after. Only turned on late, no idea if he had a hand in Spartak's goal.
Conditions seem terrible and they're playing into an absolute gale of Cahirciveen proportions. The Spartak goalie looks "dodgy".

Just saw ht highlights, no part in either goal. Of the stat graphs he was the least involved player on the pitch by far, and some other stat that I couldn't prehend had him as an average. The heat graph for where play concentrated, showed his (the right flank) was the least involved in the half.

Oh and both keepers could be on winners here.

This game is nuts. McGeady shouldered the full back who stayed on the ground, ball came back to McgEady good shot, good save. Then the player on the ground calls over the ref, points at McGeady and the ref gives out to him for something he didn't see! All the while the Anzhi centre half is warming Weillitons torso by rubbing him up and down. Nuts.

Spartak beaten 2-1. McGeady played better than most of his team-mates. Let's see how he gets on with a new manager because Karpin is gonna be shot soon. McGeady was double marked constantly, had a couple of decent efforts in the second half. The game itself was a bit touched in the "Irish" sense. One mcGeady cross was described in Russian words as "not decent", whatever that meant in English!

Karpin was all over the media complaining about the club, supporters, backers etc. He's looking to be kicked out but the club can't afford the payoff. He did a decent job with the side but when a manager is "elected" by the hooligan section, you kind of know you're in trouble.

Well at least they didn't shoot him.

He was hoping he'd be begged to stay on. He did the same at the end of last season, he told the board (or the 2 people who put money in the club) back me or sack me, while he organised a fan rally at the Luzhniki. The "board" gave him a new contract with an out clause. He has one of the best squads in the league and couldn't put a dent in the Zenit side. He's luck to have lasted so long.

Reading in the Daily Record today there are calls for him to be made captain. He's been superb for them especially the last game where he set-up the winner.

Reading... Daily Record? ;)

Absolutely over-the-moon for Aiden that this move has gone so well. Hopefully we reap the rewards.

I obviously didn't buy the rag. Hangable offence in Glasgow buying the Daily Ranger ;)

It wasn't the buying of it but the inference that you were "reading" it!

Big test this weekend against CSKA. McGeady is a little doubtful to start (he shifted a couple of knocks against Nalchik) but it could be paper talk.

He did fantastic for that goal

Thats some amount of fouls he drew, one of their players saw red for a second booking too.

Great assist for the goal. He's obviously high on confidence, will be great for him to build on the performance in March and help us get the victory we need in Skopje.

Spartak beat bitter (is there any other?) rivals CSKA with a late goal, assist from Aiden, but it hardly qualifies as an assist.
Short video here of the goal and a post match interview with Karpin,
"this was a game between good v evil...." :)

Well, he'd get assist points for that if he was playing in Fantasy Premier League and I think that's all that matters really. :p

That's some compilation video of his performance against Spartak Nalchik on the previous weekend.
It's inevitable that he will be subject to transfer speculation this summer, his boots are too big for the Russian league.

Go back a year and the idea of saying that would have been laughable. And think he could've been a Birmingham player. Eugh.
