Always found the hate of McGeady within our support very strange. Can only assume its the Celtic connection.

Duff was underwhelming in a green shirt bar Spain, Saudi goal, goal against Russia and a brilliant assist for Robbie. All things considered

Overall he probably was yeah.

But Duffers performance Vs Spain in the last 16 of the World Cup is probably the greatest individual performance of any Ireland player Ive ever seen. Was Messi esque.

The only stand out performance from McGeady for us was the 2 get out of jail goals in Tbilisi.

both did little for Ireland but have to disagree. Duff played and scored in a World Cup for Ireland

Did little.....apart from the 200 odd Caps ffs

wouldn’t read a lot into the numbers. Not a lot of correlation between number of caps and performance the last 15-20 years in lots of cases.

That puts Gary Breen ahead of John O’Shea and Richard Dunne then.

Injury confirmed as a season ender - out for four to six months. That's probably the end of the road for Aiden I'd say.


Last time I saw Aiden in a green jersey was the match in Warsaw, where we had them under the cosh for the last 15 minutes and just needed a goal to qualify and he kept ballooning crosses over the byline and had a red face like an aul lad playing up in Bushy Park. Very frustrating for all the natural talent he had. 

Wasted potential and will only really be remembered for the goal against Georgia. Should have stayed out in Russia, even though he was getting death threats towards the end. Wasted away at Everton instead of playing ball and that was the ending of him. 

Oh yeah, the game where he landed a peach of a cross on Keogh's head for a nod in, who then somehow managed to miss. A real "balloon" of a cross alright.

You don't half talk some amount of nonsense. McGeady was our most important player from 2010-14, if you'll only remember him for the Georgia goals then that doesn't speak to anything more than your own lack of intelligence.

2010 to 2014, come off it pal, peak Trapattoni 4-4-2 sh*te. Those were anus horrible for Irish football. Our best performance was scuttering a nil all in Moscow when Russia should have pullemeled us 6 or 7 nil. Taken to the cleaners by Spain, Germany, Croatia and very nearly done by Kazakhstan and Armenia. That was the only decent cross since McGeady came on, but he put 6-7 crosses and corners 30 feet over when we needed cool heads and a bit of composure. Sorry but McGeady never reached his potential. What would his obituary say? Less scummy than Stokes, but similar waste of natural talent. He was linked to AC Milan in 2007 don't forget.

90 odd CAPS
2 major champs
Numerous proper qual campaigns with near misses

Took serious stock from the bigots in Scotland for wearing green

The boy did good

Thanks for the service Aiden

He's also one of a very, very small group of Scottish born players who can say they were part of a team that reached the knockout stages of a major championships. Him, James McCarthy, Ray Houghton, Tommy Coyne, Bernie Slaven, Harry Souttar, maybe one or two more. But it's a short list.
