it would probably be better for irish football if hibs came second! mcgeady would move to the premier league along with keane- leaving darren o dea as the only decent irish player remaining.
whereas stokes miller and stack would get a crack at the champions league

aswell even in the europa league hibs wouldnt do too badly with the team they have they would be in with a very good shouth of getting into the group phase anyway:)
He looked in very good shape tonight, on another wavelength with his movement.
Some good and nearly good inter play with McGeady.
In his 3rd game now for Celtic, Robbie has regained his old sharpness, just needs to add a bit of finesse to his finishing touch - don't we all.
It wouldn't surprise me if he scored 4 or 5 in a game soon.
Robbie got off the mark with a reasonably good header today in the 4-4 draw with Aberdeen. Looks like he set up Celtic's second goal too.
Robbie was very poor today. Cannot believe another poster is saying otherwise.
Still, he showed his class with a lovely assist and a very clever goal.
Absolutely milked the celebrations as well. :P Not sure if he actually will score a bag full of goals for them as I first thought...
so he played badly and still managed to get a goal and an assist? yep obviously not going to score goals up there....
Obviously you didn't see the game, or any of his previous games!! He looks like he cannot handle the pressure, same as when he was at Liverpool. People are using the excuse "trying too hard" again, as they did at Liverpool, but at what point does "trying too hard" become "not good enough"??Quote:

He scored a peno in a cup game and a very scrappy header. And hasn't scored from at least 8 one on ones.
yeah i know but hes getting the chances theres no chance he will droped so he is going to continue to get those chances and start banging them in once hes settled.. bit of patience lads istand by what i said earlier that he will get 5 goals in a match shortly
He'll be lucky to get 5 goals in the rest of the season the way he is going.
patience :)
Scored a goal and made 2 assists (one sublime), overall looks sharp - his rehab is going very well.
The post from Geysir is actually referring to his cup game I believe.Quote:

Ha Ha I love your positive attitude mate, I think you are slightly mad but fair play you have faith. Personnally I think this is the beginning of the end for Robbie but I hope I am wrong and he goes all Henrik Larsson on us, scores a bucket load and moves to Barcelona when he is 33 before finishing off his career at Man Utd.!!Quote:

Correct. Keane has scored 41 international goals playing by and large in a weaker side to Shearer who scored 30.Quote:

Perhaps Keane should join Duff at Fulham at the end of the season, although he still has a few good years in him yet.
Yapster, nobody is comparing Keane to Shearer except yourself which is foolish as no player is any where near the quality of Shearer at the moment

Robbie Keane was a world class striker a few years ago, the move to Liverpool has really ruined his career and hopefully he will find a good club for next season as he is not going to be wanted at Spurs and Celtic would be a silly move
Internationally they are roughly the same Shearer, though scored 30 in 63 games and Keane has 41 in 95 games.
Also 2009 was Keane's best year internationally equal with 02 and 04 so it ain't anywhere near the end yet
To be fair, it was never that he didn't score ever against the big teams, it was just that he hadn't for basically the entire Kerr and Staunton reigns - I remember he had a gilt-edged chance at home to Germany and he almost looked surprised to even be in a goal-scoring position and fluffed it completely. The most encouraging aspect of the last campaign is that he's re-found his touch when the pressure is really on.
Keane never was close to world class ever, failed with top clubs and is now at the end of his career at 28 as no quality club will touch him. Has been good overall for Ireland and hopefully will continue to do so.
Got hacked down by Brughera every time he got the ball today but still had a good volley save.
Unfortunately, Robbie's slim hopes of an SPL winners medal were extinguished today when the long coward, Kyle Lafferty took adive to get Scott Brown sent off. Disgraceful cowardice and two years in a row from Lafferty.
Not a great perfromance from McGeady who was subbed.
ROBBIE'S PULLED OUT OF THE BRAZIL GAME.
A knee injury against the Rangers thugs. And with Robbie you know it's for early not like his Cork namesake.

Watched parts of the Old Firm game today, for want of something better to do. Robbie was fairly anonymous, but the standard of football in general (technically and tactically) was atrocious - at one stage Celtic were playing with four centre-forwards. Not sure there is anything that we could possibly learn about Robbie while he's playing for such an inept, directionless team in such an awful league.
That'll give Leon Best a chance to impress then. Maybe bring Stokes in too.
Sad to see Robbie missing out on a high profile game agaist Brazil. Even though its only a friendly who would not want to play against Brazil.Quote:

Don't know what it is about Ibrox and McGeady but hes been pish everytime hes played there and considering McGeady is basically our best player if McGeady has an off day Celtic as a whole have an off day.

Yes he would have been singled out for special treatment by Rangers yesterday but McGeady should be hard enough by now and rise above it. Keane had a shocker and I think he let himself be intimidated also.
