Think it was more as a 'tribute' to him? That's what I'd understood anyway?!? More importantly, has anyone actually seen him play in the last season or so ? Will he still do a job? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I've got no real issues with McGeady's decision to play for Ireland. The SFA's own daft rule led him into the Irish system because he didn't play for his school team, despite having already played for the Scottish Schools team. Fucking farcical. - It's worth pointing out at this point that McGeady was already well-known as an outstanding prospect in youth circles and was already known to the SFA -That's classic SFA garbage, and it ultimately cost us a good player who they already knew about and who had represented Scotland. He went on to go to two Euros in a period where we went precisely nowhere. If you're angry at anyone, look at the SFA. Once he was in the Irish system from a young age, it's perfectly understandable that he felt comfortable there and a sense of loyalty towards them. Not to mention his family links. Add in that this was around the time that Ireland were a penalty shoot-out away from their second World Cup quarter-final in just over a decade and Scotland were drawing 2-2 with the Faroes and in a state of general shambles, I think it's perfectly understandable that Ireland looked the better career bet. Add in his roots in their system by that point and it would have been surprising had he chosen Scotland. I do take issue with the nonsense interview he gave claiming that he took abuse from 'real Scotland supporters' as opposed to those in Glasgow who, according to him, tend to support Ireland or England. This is complete fucking nonsense. As is his daft comparison with the likes of Arfield and MacLean. I can understand him having a bit of bitterness having taken loads of flack, but shite like that is just stupid. Don't really have a problem with him playing for Ireland though. In context, it was fair enough. Edited June 27, 2022 by VincentGuerin 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be so much easier for him to roll about and cry saying "they only kick me because I chose Ireland". He started it about two months back in an interview for BBC. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In context, it was fair enough. Agree. Nowt against McGeady - Scotland didn't want him. Many national teams including our own have players who were born/ raised elsewhere. As to now - I think he could be Hibs' Charlie Adam - bits of magic now and then but essentially a hasbeen. Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, when you clearly enter a discussion with a pre-determined agenda and respond to anyone disputing it with ‘oh look they’re defending it too!’ Then you’re not a great individual to engage with. I’m sure anti Irish bigotry in Scotland is more prevalent than my lived experience growing up in Aberdeen but I won’t be choosing you to educate me on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
