He played County Minor and U-16.  Was a very good player.

???Uniteds last game out beat West Brom 4 nil, beat Celtic 3 nil with 2 offside goals so this makes them worse how?? We were out played at times but were still in the game until the 2nd goal.

I would also like to add that if Man Utd had Lee Naylor in their team they would prob get relegated in consecutive seasons down into league 1, the man is terrible, he was caught out of position over and over again and his crossing was terrible.

In the first half Van Der Sar was the busier keeper of the two and if Celtic had gone in one up it would not have been unfair on United.  Celtic always needed to score first or at least keep it scoreless until the 2nd half.  United got the rub of the green as the first goal was blatantly offside.  After that Celtic had to chase the game and were always going to be vulnerable on the break.   A 2nd offside goal was a complete kick in the stones although Utd were good for a 2 goal lead at that stage.  In the 2nd half United played with the panache & aplomb you've come to expect from them when 2 goals to the good.   The 3rd was inevitable as Celtic never lay down and kept attacking up to the final whistle.   

Celtic's earning in the SPL is 10% of that of Hull or Stoke, never mind being expected to match United, although with a decent striker they could have got something out of last night.

Pleased enough with our display against a major US Corporation. If we had had the services of one big striker things may have been a bit different. Looking forward to the return in Parkhead when we can still help Villareal win the group

Cillian Sheridan played for Cavan minors in the 2005 Ulster Championshio when they drew with the soon to become All Ireland Champions (Martin Clarke and all) Down, and were beaten after extra time if I remember rightly. My nephew played for Down on this occasion

Think you should be more worried about finishing third & getting that lucrative UEFA Cup spot

I must have been watching a different Game. What I saw in the first half was Celtic defending for thier lives with Rooney and Berb getting plenty of possession and Ronaldo taking the piss out of Celtic players down the right wing. Last night showed a massavie gulf in Class and Celtic are Uefa cup standard at best. The pundits after the game actually showed the goals to be on side and Rooney had a perfect goal disallowed so it really should have been 4-0

Few observations last night, McGeady looked dangerous every time he had the ball and was beating his man with great frequency, he is still an enigma though as he also gave possession away on too many occasions much the same as last week against Cyprus.
Although it was offside, Boruc was terrible for the second goal from Berbatov, the way he shaped himself meant the ball was always going to come straight back out, some of his performances this season have been erratic to say the least (though I still think he is quality).
Lee Naylor is not good enough defensively, end of story, no matter what attacking qualities he brings he is a defender first & foremost but seems to forget that.  
Felt sorry for McDonald as he won enough balls but invariably had to drop back 20/30 yards with it for support every time, this is where the midfield were lacking for Celtic, but it was needs must last night and Strachan had no other option, he could not have started Sheridan (who did actually look decent).
