Aiden McGeady

[Junior]

Probably the CSKA fan who writes for the Student Union magazine over there. Plus an opponent says McGeady is a 'one trick' pony - Ground breaking stuff.

You have to question why that article (and I use the term loosely) warranted any space in the paper.

[Sullivinho]

Which pundit called him a second division player, and what did they say?

Some guy called Dunpherov. Turned up stinkin' of putinka, had a rant about Aiden and then randomly listed off notable Russians competing in other sports. Crazy stuff.

[Sullivinho]

Evgeny Dunfovski. Went something along the lines of " обман, затруднение, щенок цинги, вагон,"

I see what you did there

"Deceit, difficulty, the puppy of a scurvy, the car,"

must be a different quote you picked up there Kingdom. That translates from google as "He's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one”...

Evgeny Dunfovski on Rod Liddle.

[SwanVsDalton]

In Soviet Russia, criticism Dunphies you.

[SkStu]

Evgeny Dunfovski = Rod Liddle

not sure i get what youre saying there?

Evgeny Dunfovski's thoughts on Rodyevski Liddleov perhaps...

[Spudulika]

Yeah especially coming from that gigantic world power Celtic, it will be hard to watch him slumming with a Russian club. How can you go from playing Hamilton Academy to that? And to think about those bus trips to Hibs. It builds character.

I don't think you understand what Spartak Moscow are. They're a club run purely for the purpose of moving money, wallowing in self-pity and surrounded by the lowest forms of life. The club off-loaded 3 of their highest quality players as the wolves were at the door, the fans threatened (physically) the coach (who's also GM) and suddenly Aiden arrived in. Anyone in the know in Russia thought it a strange outlay as he wasn't an international star that was called for, however his new agent made sure the deal flew and he's proving his worth alongside the remaining good players in the side, though meltdown is expected next month.

This sounds interesting, could you elaborate for us? Thanks.

Russian league leaders Zenit St Petersburg were beaten yesterday for the first time this season, at the hands of nine-time champions Spartak Moscow.

Here's the Spartak player ratings -
(McGeady got a 7)

7 is the highest anyone got, so it's a decent rating. Sounds like he had a good second half.

That's some result for them.

7 is the highest anyone got, so it's a decent rating. Sounds like he had a good second half.

Spare a thought for his opponent, Aleksandar Lukovic:

5.5 - Kept McGeady quiet in the first half but couldn't cope in the second and was exposed everytime the Irishman ran at him.

The stadiums floodlights are powered by the same type of nuclear reactor as used in Chernobyl.

yea he was rated a 7:-

Mcgeady 7 сыграно наилучшим образом только продукт непочатого края

That does not translate perfectly back into English, but can you guess the correct English translation?

'Played well just no end product'?

Correct! I think I put in "Played well but no end product" but pretty much spot on.

I don't have the Firefox add-on so I used babelfish which translated it back as

"It is played in the best way only product of the unbroken edge"

The Star had a report on the game mentioning McGeady as the catalyst for an improved second half from Spartak. Can't remember if he got MOTM or not.

[EastTerracer]

Aiden just set up Spartak's equaliser against Rostov-na-Donu. Beat a couple of defenders and crossed for Welliton to head home. 1-1 just before half-time.

[EastTerracer]

Aiden scores a penalty in the 92nd minute to put Spartak 2-1 up.

.....and that's the winner. Goal and an assist for McGeady.
