He won 10-9.

Every game involves me racing into a lead before he makes the most dramatic of comebacks. The goal he scores into is the width of a door though.

I didn't want to give the final score for fear of damaging my chances of a call up.

Seems like he has great character. I know just the guy who might fancy him...

**tricky_colour** · 20/05/2016, 8:22 PM

The thing is he might turn out to be rubbish I accept that, so we could write:-

Padraig Amond, rubbish?

However with some of the players we are taking that question mark is not required.

That is the difference.

Here he makes a goal out of nothing.

He offers something different to what we have.

A bit of magic, that will be useful considering we need back to back miracles!

**tetsujin1979** · 20/05/2016, 9:40 PM

nobody's saying he's a bad player, just that he's unlikely to play at any level higher than league one, including international

**SkStu** · 20/05/2016, 11:09 PM

While we're through the looking glass, anyone know if Lee Trundle has booked Magaluf yet?

The climb has begun. Amond signs for Hartlepool: http://mobile.hartlepoolunited.co.uk...d-3146931.aspx

The Paddy Madden talk reminded me of Tricky's short lived (but intense) love affair with this fella. I see he has gone on to score seven goals in nineteen games this season in League 2 - not too bad but sadly not quite justifying Tricky's Euros wild card campaign I don't think.

Referred to as Podge Amond by Jeff Stelling, Hartlepool fan, on TV yesterday.

**DeLorean** · 03/01/2017, 1:09 PM

Didn't notice that, but then I'd completely forgotten he'd even moved to Hartlepool until I dug this thread up. Maybe he should have stayed put at Grimsby who are six points ahead of them.

Edit- says he's scored nine goals here actually. Wiki must need updating.

**tetsujin1979** · 25/08/2017, 7:13 AM

Signed for Newport County: https://www.newport-county.co.uk/new...padraig-amond/

Goal and assist today

**Olé Olé** · 27/01/2018, 7:42 PM

Newport earned themselves a replay away to Spurs today. Amond got the opener before Kane equalized.

Is that a weird pronunciation of Amond the commentator's using?

I always pronounced it like almond, the nut. The commentator makes him sound French

Sounded odd, there is also the question of how you pronounce pardaig

paw-drig, pahd-rag, paw-rick or paaah-ric?

Article here https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...4/golf.comment

The ancient
Anglo-Saxon surname Amond came from Hamon, an Old French
personal name brought to
England after the
Norman Conquest in 1066.

It does have a French ring to it, I think the vest bet is to drop all the 'd's

pawrig amon

What makes you think Long or Keane would have got 7? Long has banged in more than 7 at PL level this season and is a much more rounded striker. Keane has been scoring those kind of goals at a higher level for close to 20 years. In fairness now...

I haven't seen much of Amond. One thing I'll say is he played a lot on the wing, apparently, when he was in League Two. Maybe teams will place more confidence in him as a front man with this record now and maybe he'll cope with better defenders with ease...

Well here he is playing against a Champion League level side.

He is playing for a 4th tier side with 4th tier teammates and easily scoring against a top tier side.

You get the same space at every level the whole of the pitch to make your own space as we see him do here, round the back of the defender.

Oh and Spurs score 6 minutes after they take him off!

What a ridiculous substitution!

**tricky_colour** · 28/01/2018, 3:23 PM

I bet the man reason no top tier club enquired for him was nobody knew how to pronounce his name.

This stinks of MON/TOD and "good luck"... He's averaging a goal every 3 matches in League 2. He's not Harry Kane. There are plenty of players scoring against PL sides in the FA Cup.
