You just can't accept that you are continually being proved incorrect. Mc Geady was the Irish MOTM in his last outing. Accept that he has talent to burn. Remember Billy - you're only as good as your last game!!! Forget about the Duff comparisons please.Quote:

I can't help but get angry when you mention the games in prague and bratislava. I was at both games. How many times do I have to highlight that Mc Geady was not (by a long way) the worst against Slovakia - Stephan Ireland, Jon Douglas, John O Shea were all a lot worse. Against the Czech's - as a previously mentioned - the fans were calling for S Hunt within 15mins. How could a player who relies so much on confidence, get the necessary confidence to shine when listening to these chants. He tried though, but it didn't work for him. I will stress that I was not calling for S Hunt to be introduced and look what happened when he did enter the fray. Forget about these games (and stop using them as a stick to beat Mc Geady with) as the thought of Andy Reid on the bench in Bratislava is sickening.Quote:

I said Irish MOTM!! Unfortunetly I am on a 'Hiding to Nothing' if some Irish people refuse to see the wood from the trees. How many times during the game did Mc Geady make 50/60 yard dribbles with the ball in croker that night? inability?/unwillingness? - codswollop/horses**tQuote:

50/60 yards? Most of those runs were into space. I like McGeady, but I think people are overstating how good he was against Brazil, just like others are arguing that he was one of the worst ever in an Irish shirt last September. I think he'll come good, but he definitely hasn't been as impressive in an Ireland shirt as he is in a Celtic shirt (yet).Quote:
