Nice one, good assist and very unlucky with the headers. Bit of a menace in the air.
Played 90mins of Omonia's Europa qualifier last night, a 0-0 draw in Poland against Jagiellonia Bialystok.
.... It's pronounced spijooooolika!!

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he meant that as a shot.

Don't see what else you could call it. Great movement to get himself into that position to start with.
Without question he is shooting. Great start for him to score such an important goal.
He does manage to bring a large Irish support with him (on the video). Very Impressive.
Just curious.
Has anyone seen him play out there?
I think there's an argument for drafting him into the squad, and certainly to be in the enlargened provisional squads.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
I haven't a clue if he's good enough or if the standard he's playing to is sufficient but calling him up would definitely send a message to younger players that are hesitant to foreign moves and instead flounder, from an international viewpoint, at League One or SPL level.
I think Anthony Stokes could do well to follow in his footsteps. It would probably rejuvenate his career to get him away from the fishbowl and all its vices, but I don't know if that is what he wants. I don't think he has the temperament in one sense.
It's hard to gauge the level he's at alright but, and without meaning to be disrespectful, his inclusion would interest me far more than Daryl Murphy to be honest.
There does seem to be a fear for Irish players to move to Europe. It seems that only Britain and the US are the two countries that matter in football. A few players have gone aboard and done alright. The likes of Dominic Foley, Darren O'Dea and Sheridan. It does seem to be that Irish and British players have a fear of moving to a foreign country. The success rate isn't that great but that's down to players not willing to include themselves in the culture. Gareth Bale hasn't learned Spanish yet, Gary O'Connor complained that he couldn't get British TV and goods in Moscow and Ian Rush said playing for Juventus is like playing in a foreign country.
Gareth Bale has been learning Spanish. I think that was just a media myth to make it seem like he was unhappy.
He's been there for two years. I'd hope he'd at least expressed an interest in learning the language.
Here's a link from earlier this year

That's from his agent. But a lot of British/Irish players don't bother with the language. Mark Hughes didn't bother to learn Spanish or German when he was at Barca and Bayern. Compare that to players coming the other way. That's the big problem we have. Not just footballers but us in general.
Those are examples of British players. I haven't seen any examples of Irish players not bothering to learn the language.
