Saw this. Would anyone have an idea how much money he's on over there if they can attract that sort of a crowd?
Actually, it's over 90,000 if you include players, coaching staff and officials etc.

I read in one of the papers (indo possibly) hes getting what he made in 3 months, in Derry per week over there, pretty sure it was an actual quote from Zayed too.
How to make yourself popular with the Esteglal Ultras.
Thought it was said somewhere he was going to get €100,000 for the 3 months over there. Surely he will be able to pick up a club in England on his return or has he said he will return to the LOI?

They are the most poplar team in Asia according to the wikipedia which is huge. 90,000 at that game is an incredible crowd. He'll be a hero down there after pulling back three goals, with 10 minutes to go and 2-0 down.

Not to mention that it's the biggest game in the domestic calendar, similar to El Clasico, so even he never scored another goal there, he'd still be a legend.
Great to see any ex LOI player doing well so good luck to him (still not quite as good a player as he thinks he is ).
Typical, I bet Trap does not go and see matches over there
Bet Libya are kicking themselves that they didnt pick him for the ACN

Genuinely delighted for the lad.
We tend to believe that words enable thought. But words can also substitute for thought.

Pats played 2 friendlies in Iran in 1990z drew 0-0 with the national side and lost 2-0 to a club side (forget which one). There was 90,000 at the national side game too
I spoke to a couple of players about it recently and it's one of their favourite memories from the time. Pats also played a friendly in Tunisia around the same time (drawing that too)

Unreal stuff.
Instant legend and fair play to them. Still a diving ******* tho.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
With the first being a right-footer and the second with the head, all it needed was the last one to be with the left!
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Three good goals too. Fair play to him I'd say it's some buzz.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
