Is this a helpful injury update or a critique on O'Shea's ability?

Never fancied Strachan and never will. The 2 titles he's won (presuming this year's is done and dusted) have been uncontested. Rangers F.C. has been a farce for the last 2 years and if George Burley wasn's sacked as Hearts manager in 05/06 I would have fancied them to go on and win the title.

That 5 goal defeat to Artmedia Bratislava will always stick in the minds of true Celtic fans.

Was very disapointed that O'Dea was dropped yesterday. Yes he is young but he was excellent in the San Siro. He must be questioning what he has to do to stay in the starting 11

Strachan will blood him in slowly and you can't argue with him. He seems to get the best out of every player he coaches.

After the AC Milan game, Vennegoor of Hesselink and Nakamura were clearly off the pace as the game wore on. O'Dea played all the game too, and was probably rested.

Rested for an old firm game :confused: If it was Kilmarnock or Dundee Utd I could understand. But rested against Rangers!!

I'd start him the Wales game. If Stan was really building for the 2010 World Cup .. which of course is somewhat a smokescreen for his own shortcomings and not the squad .. then why not. Saw enough in the Milan game to say he is worth a place.

Given
Mc Shane Finnan as the fullbacks
O Dea and Dunne

Pretty strong imo

more defenders available at the moment that strikers. Pressley was fit after missing the Milan game, so he came in.

New contract for O'Dea - http://www.celticfc.net/newsroom/news.aspx?id='2007-03-13_0900pc'
Along with Sheridan and McGeady, this must be the most Irish players in the first team picture at Celtic Park in some time?

Were McCarthy, Morris and Cascarino playing at the same time or different eras ?

Cascarino was long after McCarthy and Morris.
McCarthy, Morris and Bonner would have played together though

Nothing will please you!

Strachan was barely in the job when that farce happened with players that he inherited. He has brought Celtic to places that even the great O'Neill couldn't but you are deteremined not to give him credit!:confused:

Strachan is an excellent manager.When was the last time Celtic walked the SPL with such ease? I also think that O'Dea will be as good a player as Richard Dunne and i hope within the next few years they will be our first choice central defenders.

Please God but with all due respect to Scottish football, he'll need a move down to the Premiership in a few years time to test himself on a regular basis against top forwards.

I see that O'Dea has been named in the u21 squad, isn't that an indicator that he won't be in the senior squad?

eh quite possibly....good spot....

The amount of time people come on to this forum and give out about things that are not even facts. O Dea not in the squad as he is in the U21, Stephen Carr left, out, No he is injured. This happens time and time again.

Carr is a load of shiite anyway

O'Dea was called into the U21 squad against Holland, and it wasn't unreasonable to assume he wasn't in the senior squad because of it

All I am saying is people should not jump the gun before they know the facts.

its a forum for god sake assumption and unfounded opinion are the basis on which it was developed
16/03/2007, 10:40 AM

Well opinion based on facts is a much more valed as otherwise its a rant.

What about opinions based on hearsay and conjecture? Those are kinds of evidence!!

Dont think they would stand up in any sort of debate though.

I asked the question about O'Dea's inclusion on the u21's, but no assumption was made by me.
Strikes me that there was little communication going on between Given and Stan. The u21 squad is subservient to the senior one. Maybe Given is saying look at the team I could have played if only...

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan:
"It was very poor, I didn't enjoy it all, and I didn't enjoy watching it.
"Darren O'Dea did well and Paddy showed a wee bit of promise when he came on along with Paul Hartley, who was one of my better picks.
"Artur did well too, but apart from that, we were rather poor"

Sounds like he played well from match reports. Whats the opinion of people who watched it? Will he get/Does he deserve a consistent run of games?

O'Dea played very well for Celtic tonight. He played out of position at left-back and supported McGeady well done the left flank. He brings a presence and personality onto the pitch and I have to say I've yet to be unimpressed by him. He can definately go far in his career - he just has the ability to do so.

He was very angry shouting at Brown today and Brown actually didn't answer back. He must be a big character. :) He also got booked for jumping in for McGeady when he squared up to one of the Kilmarnock players. You need a bit of character like that on occasion.

Good game for him alright. The long ball should be last resort for a defender but he obviously believes in his passing ability.

Another posted disagrees about O'Dea last night in the SPL thread:
