Great times for Ireland to follow - McGeady played for Celtic yesterday!
:D
oh yeah.. great performance.. all 90 seconds of it.
I'll go get my inflatable hammer. let the good times roll.
That was the same game for which Strachan said the following:
"The only thing I'm happy about is the three points. Only five players played to a standard, the rest fell below that."
Lets hope he was 1 of the 5 - didn't see the game myself.
i didnt even know he was gone!
I seen the title of this thread and then seen the author underneath and was contemplating opening it. :)
I heard he had 100% passing record in that game.Quote:

He's started for Celtic today due to big injuries. Had a hand in the first goal and has scored their second.
Just been posting about this in the sticky. He's playing top class football today bar crossing on the run.
great to hear it. Hopefully Mac Geady has gotten over the drop in form that hits a lot of younger players around that age. The decision not to play him was a good one and he shouldnt suffer any major drop in confidence.
He got MOTM. Created the cross for Camara for both goals and scored the other.
That is good to hear. Come on Aiden!
Anyone got a clip of the goal?
posted it on the spl thread Donal81

The build up to the 3rd goal was identical to the first. was the 3rd started by McGeady aswell?
Can anyone post the Stephen Ireland clip in the same format? I still can't open it, possibly because my security sdettings at work won't allow it.
Can't open it or download it?
It's unclear what you mean.
Yeah McGeady played it through to Camara, who put the cross in.Quote:

Stuttgart88, right click on the link and select "save target as" and a window
should pop-up asking you where you want to save the file etc...
That should give you an idea of what is going on.
McGeady is scottish.
BTW playing against Falkrik doesn't match you international class.
Thanks!! Great goal by MOTM McGeady, lets hope he starts from now on....Quote:

Stuttgart - what tricky_colour said should work. Sometimes wmv files try to open in the browser.
Tks - I actually managed to view it finally. Nice bit of skill alright :)
another of kerrs failings-not giving this lad a chance at friendly level-i think he gave mcgeady 90 seconds at the end of 2 games. even if he didnt have a great season last year-the lad is simply fantastic. plays the game like the duffer used to...sigh
Either does playing against Crewe,Plymouth etc etc ;)Quote:

You like generalising Pete don't you.....Quote:

...and your a pric* . prawn sandwich brigade and all that you wouldn't know a good footballer if ya seen one. he was class against nesta and ac milan in the champions league, regardless of ability however, his nationality is irish i think you will find, and what the hell has it to do anyway. if rooney was playin for ireland i bet you'd be licking his ar*eQuote:

This is the position that's been mentioned for him before, and it does seem to be his most effective. The only problem with it is that you have to have 2 defensive midfielders behind him as he doesn't do enough defensively
BBC said he was MOTM.
pure nonsense from pete (as usual)
the kid is of irish decent and the fact a catholic from glasgow's east end defines himself as irish says a great deal about scottish society.
you have seen him have 1 bad game. so what. he is an out and out winger, and they all have off days.
the reality he is keeping an player who has been capped for england on the bench and ran rings around a dutch international on saturday. says a lot about the temprement of any player to remain cool enough in the white heat of an old firm to get MOTM.
if duffer wasnt in the irish set up he would have 15 caps by now.
this guy is the real deal and is a proud irish man, regardless of birth. bu your logic, Caulfield was born in the states, so he isnt a true ca.wkie?
I thought Steven Reid did really well when he came on against the Swiss. It's good to see McGeady return to form. If you'd seen any of his performances early season, or for the U21s against Switzerland you wouldn't be so positive about him. And Duff instead of Keane? Just like against Israel? That really worked. Duff is a waste of space as an outright forward IMO.Quote:

It's exactly how I'd like to have seen the last 20 minutes of the last game against the Swiss played: Clinton & Elliott outright forwards, Robbie just behind, S. Reid, Killbane & Holland as a tight strong midfield 3, Carr & Harte getting forward from full back.
From eTims.net, after the rangers game:
McGeady 8 MOTM - What a difference a spell on the sidelines makes learning your trade. Has all the trickery but has now added a new found workrate to his game and what a difference it makes. His run to chase back and catch Ferguson was first class as was his general play all game. His first Old Firm goal was a special moment and hopefully this is the start of this young man showing just how good he really is.
