Almost scored Birmingham's second there. Could have been a cracker!
Fahey subbed off right on the 83 minute mark. I've never been that impressed with him but I must say he had a great game today.
Fahey was very good, Carr was immense. Very pleased for both of them.
Must be the first time an Irishman has won a major football medal outside of Ireland for a while.
Unless you know different.........
John O'Shea and Darron Gibson last season. Same competition.Quote:

Delighted for both of em. So glad that the Brum won. The media **** fest over how great this Arsenal team really is was starting to get on my nerves. The guardian thought Arsenal just had to turn up and the trophy was theirs.
How many times did they mention the fact that Stephen Carr had "retired to Ireland"?
I'm an Arsenal fan and couldn't believe the media coverage. They can be a fantastic team sometimes but they have a soft core and can be got at. They have thrown away winnining positions against Newcastle, Spurs, Sunderland, Wigan, Shaktar and a few others this year. That's not the hallmark of winners and the media should have copped on to that. They have a habit of not winning games that they have controlled. Man City at home is a great example.Quote:

Quoted for the wow factor :DQuote:

Delighted for Fahey, very unlucky not to score.
SHOCKER -The BBC commentator actually pronounced his name right!!!
Arsenal without Fabregas and Van P are very average.
I only realised now that it was Barry Ferguson who patted Koscielny on the head celebrating the winning goal. What a tw at. I don't expect footballers to be saints but sometimes the lack of basic sportsmanship you see is unbelievable. From a toe rag such as Ferguson though, it's no surprise.
Yeah, I was fairly disgusted to see that. Like something a cocky 11-year old might do in the schoolyard. As you say though, from Ferguson it's no surprise. Remember his pathetic v-signs while on Scotland duty? What a wally.Quote:

i love that most people, especially CR, have come round to rating Fahey now. Excellent.
Nothing worse. The bully on the school playground stuff. The first thing that came into his mind was to shove down Koscielny's head says it all rather than celebrating with his own team mates. Souless ****.Quote:

Fahey is just getting lucky. It will all end with him back at pats in a couple of years. Isn't that right CR?
I think he's a decent player but not up to international standard, much like Paul Green. At least Paul Green works hard, something I haven't seen Fahey really do much of in the green shirt.Quote:

What has he got now? 2 goals in 5 games or something? Better than Paul Green certainly, though I do admire Green's attitude
Fahey in the starting line-up away to Newcastle today.
Adam Rooney provided the assist for the goal.Quote:
72:15 GOAL - Keith Fahey:Birmingham 1 - 0 Coventry
Keith Fahey scores a headed goal from deep inside the penalty box. Birmingham 1-0 Coventry.
Just seen the replay, Ridgewell put in a long cross from the left channel about 50 yards out from goal, Rooney made a nice run and great header that came back off the post. Rooney picked up from the rebound from a tight angle, put it back across the face of goal, Fahey got there just ahead of his marker and hit the back of the net from about 8 or so yards.Quote:

Looked really dodgy, an accident waiting to happen. Thankfully well down the order!!Quote:

Goal Fahey...to paraphrase Matt Le Tissier: About 20 yards out, struck really sweetly, left footed off the post...Luke Steele no chance.
Fahey put Birmingham 2-0 up in the first half against Crystal Palace.
Owen Garvan pulled one back for Palace with a "fantastic" strike. It's 3-1 at half time.Quote:

Was sure when this was going to be bad news when I saw a new post.
Thought he was released or something.
Fair play to him.
They're in the playoffs later this week against Blackpool, would be a strange time to be releasing star players!
Us LOI heads always think the worst Colbert!
LOI???
