The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ONeill]

McGeady should be delivering on his promise, but hasn't for club and country. I think his best season to date has been 7 goals in 36 league games - that's something like a goal every 5 games with a few assists, in a very poor league. Many Celtic fans are blinkered to this as they believed the hype from his U20 days. He's nowhere near the level that Damien Duff was at his peak, when Duff was lighting up the 2002 World Cup  at around the same age McGeady is now. Even Shaun Maloney was netting 10 goals a season at the age of 19 as a winger. I've watched McGeady a few times - flashes of talent and speed but not the consistency required to suggest he'd make it at a big club in a big league. He's better than most in the SPL though. I think the frustration of not being as good as he thought is manifesting itself in his collisions with Strachen.

Celtc should cash in and nab a consistent winger.

In truth I don't think there would be too many takers (not even Newcastle) for Mc Geady at the price Celtic would want. Better if he followed Tommy Gemmell's advice to-day, take it on the chin knuckle down and get his place back. As Tommy said practically every Lisbon Lion fell out with Big Jock at one time or another

I read that Mc Geady reckons he is "bigger than Celtic", i love footballers sense of worth and place in the world.

Where's this source from?

I'm bigger than Jesus and McFly.

Of course you are...Sure you're 22 stone...lol

Was speaking to a die-hard today & he said

"McGeady is the most popular player at the club and probably the best player we have but he's getting too big for his boots and I'm glad WGS is pulling him in to line. It needs to be done! He will probably throw his toys out of the pram and put in  a transfer request! "

I honestly thought the majority of Celtic fans would be backing Mc Geady, but it seems to be otherwise

Of course you are...Sure you're 22 stone...lol

I meant popularity with the female aged 18-30 group....then again McFly are so 2006...

Seems as if everyone is picking a side here..i'd love to know what McGeady actually said to strachan but seems to me like the ginger one takes a shine to some folk and a dislike to others. Why else would Caldwell be first on the teamsheet every week? Not for his footballing skills certainly.
Gary is ALWAYS in the friggin paper so talking to the press can't be an issue surely?

I see it as purely trying to sell the family silver, prove me wrong.

My spy in the dressing room claims that McGeady used a few expletives in Strachans direction, now fair dues he may have to be disciplined,, but it should have been done discretely behind closed doors! Also banning him for the Huns match, when we are down so many players and the ones playing are out of form!!
WGS couldn't wait to publicly discipline Aidan.

What exactly?  There's expletives in every dressing room, so can't jsut be that.

[Doogie Browser]

Sounds a bit like Keane v McCarthy all over!!  Right lads get into your respective camps, here we go again...

The team have been in sparkling form as of late so nothing like washing the dirty linen in public just before a Rangers match to boost morale...

I wonder if Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe is ready to slot back into the side or Ben Hutchinson...top, top players

Gary Caldwell can always play emergency winger I suppose.

I thought it was some sh1te about drinking or going out in Glasgow, but perhaps not

"On Saturday Aiden McGeady did not follow his tactical instructions towards the end of the match and he launched into a tirade against the manager in front of the rest of the squad."

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Hmmmm just had a thought, maybe the board backed the WGS so that when the backlash started from the supporters Strachan would be happier to fcuk off to the EPL then to listen to the fans slag him off even more and the board are sitting pretty, make him comfortable in his position and then when he goes settle any disputes in the dressing room properly.

P.S. Strachan has also publicly critisized (sp) Aidan for opting to play for Ireland over Scotland in the past.

[carribbear]

After saturdays performance I'd be questioning the managers tactics as well...starting with a midget frontline seems to be a bad ploy. Who exactly are the wingers supposed to cross the ball into? The towering Shaun?

rightly so, hes a scot after all

He rightfully qualifies to play for Ireland, and that is the team he choose.
