Of course we can all agree that Roy O'Donovan's appearances and goals record for Dundee United really is the best way to judge Keith Fahey's ability

The ball is round and has many surprises.
Nearly a dozen is a relative assessment which is not right nor wrong just relative. 6 to me could be close to a dozen. Again I state it's relative depending on whether I equate 6 to being close to 12 or not.
5, however, is definitely not 6 and also O'Donovan was definitely at Dundee at the start of the season so you were wrong, twice whereas I was only expressing a relative comparision which is neither right nor wrong by definition it was just an opinion.
Of course it doesn't, you'd feel right at home in such familiar company. Most morons probably also think 5 = 6. Now keep quiet and let the adults talk and remember 5 != 6.

And while I know it hardly relevant to Keith Fahy's merits we have here a link confirming that Roy O'Donovan has started 4 games and played 1 as a sub this season: http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=70
Youngirish is making it up as he goes along.

And here's a better link that has actually been updated recently that shows he has played 6 games and lists him in every one of those 6 and the time he spent on the pitch.

Let it go man this is like kicking a cripple when he's after falling out of his wheelchair.

Are we back on this again after I rubbished your 5 appearances claim?
Quick you better find something else inconsequential in the semantics of the original post that has no relevance to the overall point of the whole argument and post 10 times about it.
The main issue was O'Donovan has been sh*t since leaving the EPL. Are you disagreeing with this fact or agreeing with it? Do you even understand the issue?
IMO Keith Fahy was the best player on the park against Hertha Berlin. We all know that the LOI is not English Premiership or Championship standard but that doesn't necessarily mean that certain LOI players are not capable of playing at a higher standard.
With regards to the upcoming B match - we know that Potter, Rowlands, Gibson are not international standard. Why not give a player such as Keith Fahy the chance to show what he can do instead of giving players that aren't good enough another chance to confirm this? Or do we need Owen Coyle and Burnley to give their approval first?
Nonsense. You said that he couldn't get into their first XI. That is just not the case. I've no problem in saying that Dundee United's website has lied to me. Can you stand up to telling fibs in your initial tirade? I thought not...
FWIW I think O'Donovan has been fairly terrible since leaving Cork and was over-rated even while he was here.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I would have McCann in well before the likes of Fahey as would most sane people.
Consider the choices, a 25 year old never will be who was deemed surplus to requirements at both Arsenal and Aston Villa who is unlikely to improve as he should now be close to this peak or a just turned 21 year old who is lighting up the Championship in England thus far with his appearances and could easily be playing in the Premiership by this stage next year.
MMmmmm let me see. Decisions, decisions.

Would you want a player who was also deemed surplus to requirements by Blackburn and Celtic ? Shay Given would be out of the picture so , Richard Dunne not good enough for Everton , Andy Reid sold by Spurs , My point being that players ability has been known to improve over time and I wouldn't say that a midfielders ability peaks at 25 ,more likely 27-30
