QuoteBest match I've seen all year. Great drama. Fair play to Celtic, the ref was against them the entire match.
I was sad enough to watch the match. Didn't see Эйден МАКГИДИ on the team sheet.Originally Posted by tetsujin1979

I thought the ref had a good game though he shouldn't have needed prompting for the red card offense. MGeady didn't get into his stride but neither did a spunkless Spartak.
Aiden unhappy with the more central role he was asked to play tonight...

He doesn't seem as baffled as the reporter, to be honest. Trap has asked him to come in at times too, and proposed starting him there I'm almost sure. He's very good at finding space around the middle, though usually when coming off his wing.
I think the central role is where his skills can be showcased the most. We all know that he lacks a consistent quality final ball. In short, his crosses aren't the best. I think he can dazzle with the skill he has and beat one or two men in the middle, then lay the ball off or shot himself.
Anyone that has watched him for Spartak will know that isn't the case. We don't commit as many bodies into the box,
Agree, with you here though. In the future, a formation ofI think he can dazzle with the skill he has and beat one or two men in the middle, then lay the ball off or shot himself.

is something I'd like to see.
In Short, I'm an Aiden Fanboy.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
McGeady out for two weeks with foot injury sustained against the Faroes: http://au.eurosport.com/football/cha...46/story.shtml
So we are down to 0 CL players right? Not nice.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
When's Stokes going to be fit again?!
Dec/Jan, I read on here yesterday.
No Makgidi as mentioned but Spartak have raced into 1-0 (should be 2-0) lead at home to Benfica. They're also down to their third choice goalkeeper, incidentally.
2-1 at half time, Benfica having undeservedly equalised. Benfica look like they don't want to be there, although the cold must be a huge factor.
No sign of him in the Spartak squad last night. How long more is he out for does anybody know? He'll surely be fit for Celtic Park on the 5th December. Playing Barca on the 20th November.
I'll be murdered for this, but who thinks Celtic wouldve got the result they got the other night if McGeady was in the team?!?
I dont think they wouldve. McGeady not reliable or disciplined enough from a defensive perspective.
I think this side of his game has improved. It's had to under Trap to be fair. It's hard to know though, before Wednesday night I wouldn't have thought Kris Commons would have been capable of such a disciplined defensive performance and I thought he was really immense. There's no doubting that it would have been a kind of game that would go against all of McGeady's natural instincts but Lennon and Celtic obviously put a huge amount of time into perfecting it. I'd imagine if McGeady was a part of that preparation he would have been able to do his bit as well.
Sir, I refer you to the Russia v Ireland game from Sept 2011 where Aiden McGeady played LW and LB.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Yep, McGeady has been immense defensively at times for us. Playing for Celtic you'd imagine he'd have had a licence to just stay forward most of the time...I think he's been great for Ireland (mostly) at adapting to this new role.
I wouldn't be that critical of McGeady's defensive contribution/play. He is willing enough on that front. It's his end product at the other end I have given up on ever seeing consistently, or even now and then.
Couldnt agree more
Folding my way into the big money!!!
