McGeady needs a change of scenery.
Chaps, I heard on the radio yesterday that Guinness is filtered in part through a sheep's bladder and so there is a little sheep juice in every pint....so vegans won't drink it. So the company is making a non sheep bladder filtered version acceptable to vegans.
What i don't get is....are there that many vegans who are healthy lifestyle people but still drink alcohol, making it worth while to go through all the trouble? And isn't it kinda gross that it gets filtered through a dead sheep's bladder in the first place?

I think that explains clearly why McGeady has never been consistently able to deliver that final ball !Originally Posted by Crosby87
Deulofeu's through ball for Lukaku's equaliser today was sublime actually. Easy to see why McGeady is struggling to get back in with Mirallas and Lennon having to settle for places on the bench themselves. Looks like he definitely needs a move.
Looks like O'Shea is out of the playoffs - failure to recover from injury
Close, but it's isinglass, a gelatin derived from fish bladders. http://www.irishtimes.com/business/a...ness-1.2415449
I'm reliably informed that many beers taste like they've been filtered through a live sheep's bladder.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
Most beers use this in the fermentation process I'm led to believe.
Now back (somewhat) to the subject, I'd like to see McGeady start. i know he's not playing but I think he could do damage. McAteer couldb't buy a game for Blackburn when he scored V Holland. McGeady also created our only real chance V Poland. Something McClean failed to do during the whole game
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Squad Reduced to 30, Given, Cunningham, Green, O’Kane, McGoldrick, Cox, Stokes, Pilkington and Rooney gone from the provisional squad.

How did the Bosnian squad do this weekend: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...16945871453389
Very gloomy for a wet Monday morning but I can't seem to get a 2-0 defeat out of my head for Friday. The good news is I think I'm wrong far more often than I'm right with these things.
so it could be 3-0 then?
cant help feeling that without oshea, walters and probably long out it could be quite a difficult night Friday. am clinging to the hope that first legs are generally cagey tight affairs and that will be to our benefit
Haha it could yeah. I'd say whether it's 2-0 or 3-0 we're as good as out either way though. I'm normally more optimistic but then again I'm normally disappointed!
Anyone else think Doyle should start this one upfront by himself?
didn't see much of his season in the US but if his form was anyway decent id say he would be our best option up front alone. MON will probably go with murphy though. his hat-trick at the weekend has come at just the right time for us
yeah i expect it to be murphy. MON seems to rate him. worrying lack of pace in the side... i'm thinking
randolph
coleman keogh clark wilson
mccarthy whelan
hendrick hoolahan brady
muprhy
Maybe he would be lonely(Only kidding) I Long for Long. So Long as its not So Long !
I presume the loan striker option is the way to go? Just thinking that we had a hell of a run playing 4-4-2 away from home for some reason. As daft and regressive as it probably sounds, would it be worth a considering given our options? I just think with the loan striker, very little is likely to stick and we'll be inviting pressure back onto ourselves constantly. There's the obvious problem of getting overrun in midfield playing 4-4-2, where they seem to have some quality, but obviously Murphy would be expected to help out defensively and it would come naturally to Hendrick who wouldn't be your more orthodox wide player.
--------------Goalkeeper---------------
--Coleman - Keogh - Clark - Wilson--
Hendrick - McCarthy - Whelan - Brady
-----------Murphy-Keane---------------
I'm kind of assuming he'll start Whelan over Gibson and that Long won't be fit enough to start. It would be brilliant if he could give us twenty minutes from the bench though and McClean could carry out the Stephen Hunt role. Save Wessi for the home leg I think or if we really need a goal late on (i.e. we're losing 2-0 or worse).
It's very hard to know what Doyle would offer at this stage. If we do go with the loan striker obviously he's a better option than Keane. I'm not a massive Murphy fan (for us) but it's easier to gauge the level he's at right now, and it's probably a higher level than Doyle on all known evidence. Unquestionably Doyle was a better player at his pomp but that seems a long time ago now, albeit he's still marginally younger than Murphy!
