Also don't underestimate the 'man management', 'confidence instilling' element to O'Neills coaching - IMO, quite often this can be the difference between a player doing the business on the pitch, not necessarily what tactics / drills they do in training
McGeady scored another good goal today as Celtic came from behind to beat Aberdeen.
look at the amount of players who had lost their way slightly and MO"N put their careers back on track: sutton, hartson, thompson, varga etc.Quote:

Guppy - Nearing the end of his career, was a squad player & nothing more.
Petta - Had some great games, unfortunately had too many stinkers. Some of this could be apportioned to MON, some of it to the very nature of inconsistent wingers!!
Hedman - Big disappointment for Celtic, not sure what went wrong there.
Petta initially came good under MON, the treble season and the games in the Champion's League that followed come to mind, but faded fast after that. He was woeful under John Barnes too.Quote:

Lads can ye keep on the topic of McGeady!there is a thread about Scottish Football in the General Football Forum
Exactly, most of us want to read about McGeady. If anyone wants to talk about a Scottish club, go to the World Football section. As one Irish journalist once remarked, Ireland and Celtic are not interchangeable.Quote:

I come to the IRELAND SECTION to read and discuss Irish players. Not Celtic, not United etc.
However Aiden is Irish and O'Neil is in the running for manager of Ireland.
How can you discuss either without discussing Celtic?
You can discuss Celtic only as it relates to McGeady's play etc. There's a forum to discuss issues relating to the rest of the Celtic team, please go there.Quote:

Objection your honour!
The only problems here are caused by some people being too quick to get their arses in hand over the mere mention of Celtic. If what's being discussed is germane to the thread subject (which it is) then as far as I'm concerned it can stay.
:ball: PP
we have to discuss a celtic player without once mentioning his club? nonsense, so i will treat it with the contempt it deserves.
according to cetlic fanzine site etims alan thompson is for the chop next window, portsmouth being mentioned, meaning aido is the long term left winger in the east end of glasgow. good news for him and us.
McGeady had another good game today I hear.
Papers said he played well and would have scored but for his poor finishing.
He's looked quite promising if you ask me, great pace, played some great balls, some nice touches.. he's been hustling back and getting involved on the defensive end as well. Anyone that thought McGeady was another youth who'd fallen off the face of the earth, which it did look like for awhile, are being proved wrong. Long may his form continue.
I seen the match. He is certainly full of confidence. Not trying to beat his man all the time and when he tries he usually succeeds. I'm still trying to figure out his natural favourite foot though. :)Quote:

In some peoples eyes he's probably still a one trick pony - hope he keeps up the good form and proves them wrong!
