McGeady. Ridiculous goal!
McAteer's get points deducted for De Boer's touch and Robbie looking for the free in the middle of it
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Why would Robbie looking for a free affect the Goal ?
mcgeady. love the mcateer goal but mcgeadys skill was superb
Don't call me Surely!
Back heel pass, back heel flick, take your pick.
Made it less pretty
Folding my way into the big money!!!
From that game in Amsterdam, if forced to choose I'd pick the build up to Robbie's goal and the strike from McAteer.
Tougher one this. McGeady's goal is a lovely piece of skill, McAteer's a good build-up and finish, despite the Dutch touch... Tie-break time for me, all things being equal, and my vote goes to .... McAteer, just because I like him more and felt we never saw enough end product from McGeady that his talent should have brought.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

So we have our two finalists - Aiden McGeady edges a tight match 7-4, which means it's straight back out onto the pitch for Jason in our third-fourth place play-off.

McAteer, the build up shades it for me.

McAteer
McAteer...better build up, weaker foot too.
McLoughlin... McAteer's is basically an illusion of a great goal (albeit a decent strike) so the importance of McLoughlin's swings it.
I think McAteer's is the dyed blonde eastern European with fake boobs, but McLoughlin's is the one you'd take home to your mum. I think McLoughlin's suffers from being in a sh1t ground with a semi-fog in the air and outdated floodlights.
McLoughlin for me. It's the one you can watch over and over without ever getting tired of it. McAteer's looks good once and then you can park away the memory for another few years.
McAteer and it's not even his best goal for us.
McLaughlin, a lovely take down and finish
Havin a weekend away is quite frankly,lettin ur team mates down!
McAteer again for me. Maybe I’m just biased because I was a massive fan boy back in the day. I wore my jersey tucked in on the right side only for my entire footballing life (I’d still instinctively do it now even in a five a side) because that’s how I saw McAteer wearing his. I’m just disappointed it wasn’t a McAteer versus Whelan final so it would be my two favourite footballers from my formative years head to head!
Only three international goals but all finishes of high quality, the two obvious ones and this, ably assisted by his rival for bronze.
Mcateer by a mile
