Aiden McGeady M Ayr Utd b.1986

Well I can't argue with that

McGeady is our miracle though.

**Eminence Grise** · 14/03/2021, 9:35 PM

And there we part ways, DeL. Once, maybe, if we'd used him better. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong all the same.

**DeLorean** · 14/03/2021, 9:44 PM

You're too scared to dream. I hope SK isn't ��

**Eminence Grise** · 14/03/2021, 9:58 PM

I live by the motto dum spiro, spero (it was on a jumper I had as a teen - impressionable age and all that!). But hopes and dreams aren't exactly the same, though the outcomes may be. I don't mind who our next 10 is, as long as they're good, and we win.

Out of contract this summer and linked to Peterborough, who have been promoted to the Championship. A major salary drop coming for him whether he stays or goes, but he has made his money at this stage.

**Colbert Report** · 16/05/2021, 1:40 PM

Will he play for Sunderland in the playoffs?

**Eirambler** · 16/05/2021, 2:32 PM

I would expect him to, yes. He's been central to them getting this far, along with Charlie Wyke.

**Colbert Report** · 16/05/2021, 4:27 PM

If they get promoted, any chance he'll get another contract with Sunderland?

**Eirambler** · 16/05/2021, 4:52 PM

Potentially yes, but it would need to be on substantially reduced terms than what he was previously on.

**Colbert Report** · 22/05/2021, 2:57 PM

Read on Sky Sports that according to the Scottish Sun, McGeady waived an automatic one year contract extension to be able to play in this match here today, the second leg of the League 1 play-off against Lincoln City.

Seems like an interesting move. If he gets injured today, surely that's his career over with? I know he's made a pile of money but his agent can't be happy with this.

I assume that he would still be insured.

**Colbert Report** · 22/05/2021, 3:27 PM

He could be playing his way into a new contract with Sunderland. They were down 2-0 heading into this second leg, now it is 2-2 on aggregate largely because of McGeady.

**tommy_c12000** · 22/05/2021, 3:28 PM

McGeady playing well, 2 assists. 2-0 Sunderland at HT to even things up on aggregate. Lincoln like a deer in headlights, set up poorly from the start to defend what they have (had).

Scully barely in the game. In any case, I’m not overly excited by him. In and out of a league one team, 19 substitute appearances this year. Yes, he’s scored a few league one goals, he’s reasonable technically and is industrious. But he needs to prove himself at a higher level before senior international chance. He’s pretty average IMHO. Hopefully he gets to play championship next year one way or another

**Eirambler** · 22/05/2021, 4:15 PM

Playing his way into a move to a Championship club I'd say. It's not his fault Sunderland are doing a Sunderland.

Scully is very much a prospect, but today was not his day.

**Olé Olé** · 22/05/2021, 4:58 PM

Yeah, McGeady was a different class. Two gorgeous deliveries for his assists.

Tough day at the office for Scully. Sunderland were well on top in first half and Scully went off at half time so he couldn't benefit from the Sunderland second half dip. Though, the first half dominance may have had something to do with Sunderland being well on top in midfield. There was one stage in the first half when the ball was beginning to move out left for Lincoln and Scully was screaming for it on the right. The ball kept moving out left and eventually someone decided to try peg a ball across to Scully at the back post- it was so poorly executed it went out for a throw. Summed up his half.

In his heyday he was accused of having the legs but no end-product. Now, it's vice versa.

In my opinion he was worth a half an hour against Luxembourg and I thought that before those games in March.

McGeady has been offered a contract extension at Sunderland. (Evening Chronicle).

Plenty of Sunderland fans on the readytogo forum have stated their hope that McGeady would stay (as in, the only current player in the Sunderland squad they feel it is worth retaining).

I still think it absolutely criminal (man) that McGeady wasn't utilised in order to try to avoid a morale-sapping home defeat against Luxembourg. If the general consensus is that he's a cut above the English third division (checks out), and our squad contains third division players...for me that's the manager not doing the job. And I was a huge supporter of Kenny.

Would we have created more chances against Luxembourg with McGeady on the pitch? For me, it's as simple as that.
