Fair Play to him!!
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
he's started brightly enough. shame the dunfermiline defence can't match it, two-one to celtic five minutes later.
"And they fell behind in the 18th minute as Hunt snapped up the goal his start merited. When Crawford’s run was halted the ball ricocheted wide for Greg Shields to tee up Nicholson for a cross that had Douglas fooled.Originally posted by Red_terror

And crafty Noel stole the space to plant a far-post header back into the corner of the net."
"If there was to be any way back for the Pars it would come from the courage and class of Hunt, who simply refused to chuck it and was punching way above his weight in the aerial tussles.
He troubled Valgaeren enough near-post to pop the ball up and prod in a volley but Douglas had the angles down cold."
From the sun
He looked very comfortable at SPL level.
3 eL players in that Dunfirmline squad last night.
Noel as ease in the game (only seen 1st half) & its not as if he's twice the player he was when with Rovers.
Funny to Johnny Giles praise him at half time saying it his first time see him play & suggest maybe he up for the irish team. I;m not knocking Hunt but just goes to show that eL player won't get credit til play abroad at any level.
Exactly. Fair play to hunt but according to RTE news last night "Irish international" Noel Hunt scored. I can think of 4/5 better strikers than him im our league but he scores 2 goals in the SPL and all of sudden people can't believe he's not in the squad...
And Richie Byrne is possibly the worst ex-eL player ever to play in a fully professional league

I think Hunt was one of the best forwards in the league when he in the eL. On what I saw last night doing the same things he used to do with Rovers.
I think the disappointing thing is the way former LOI players such as Giles, Dunphy 'n Co have completely abandoned their National League & probably not been at a game for 10 or 20 years.
He scored in their Cup game against Clyde at the weekend as well before it got abandoned.
To be fair to Noel, he has had a series of injuries since he joined Dunfermline, but it is good to see him and Gary doing well over there
Allez les Bleus
Scored again today
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
always was and always will be rovers scum
He may be from Waterford, he may have played for Shamrock Rovers but he sure is a very good player!Originally posted by thecorner

And by the way he is not scum, i think its time you grew up abit lad!
No he isn't. I agree there's not much difference in class between the EL and most of the SPL (That being the SPL - 2 teams) but he was one of the best players here when he was here, imo, and I was saying at the time he'll play for Ireland one day and nothings changed as far as I'm concerned. He'll be an international before the end of the year if he keeps his form up and he should be able to do that.Originally posted by xtreme rebel
Noel hunt is poor in comparison to O'flynn,o'callaghan,kevin doyle,fenn, shane barrett,glen crowe and jason byrne in our league. It not that hard to score in the SPL. Richie Byrne is hpleless also.
Long may his form continue, we could do with as many stiking options as we can.
We dont hear much with Dunfermlines Gary Dempsey these days. Is he still playing for the first team?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
John O'Flynn and George O'Callaghan are better than Noel Hunt, why aren't the "experts" calling for them to be picked for Ireland?
Hunt is good but he never stood out for me when he was at Rovers and he's merely doing the same thing at Dunfermline so why do people think he's so great all of a sudden? It's sad that so many Irish people automatically think he's better because he plays in the SPL (which is a heap of **** anyway)!
Champions!
"Rovers Scum"??
Grow up. Noel happens to be really improving at his game. He's scored in every game that he started this season. Who cares who he plays or played for?? The fact that he's a young Irish lad should be enough to get him support on this site. And it just so happens that Noel Hunt is one of the nicest lads you could meet. Give credit where its due. Its great to see him back after the hard start he had to the season with his injuries. Good luck to him!!!
In all fairness I do agree about O'Flynn...he is a class act....im not convinced about O'Callaghan the times i seen him play against us last year !!Originally posted by Colm

Alan Murphy will be top scorer this year anyway

Overall there's not much between them really, both have bags of skill and would walk into any team in the league.
Champions!
