Couldn't give a toss if most don't agree but I think it was a fookin waste not having him involved with the Irish team set up the last few years given his natural talent. At the very least he would've been no worse than what we have. I know he's getting on but I think we could've had him in the role as an impact sub. 

He has been one of the very few of our players that is actually both in form and playing regularly. Both Serbia and Luxembourg would've seen him as more of a threat than anyone in our attacking line up imo. 



Aido scored a quality goal today and put over some good crosses.

Is McGeady not playing centrally for Sunderland these days so it would have been very unlikely that he'd have played on the wings for us if he had been called up?

McGeady could have easily been as sh!te as everyone else last night and been whipped off at halftime, and you know it.

Don't fall into the trap lads of what could have been. The scourge of basing an argument on hindsight will rot your soul.

Its a slight PR mess up from Kenny, and useful for those who want to back McGeady's return to the team, but I don't for one second believe the result would have been any different had he been on the pitch for the last 15. They were organised enough that we got no joy down the wings.

Why didn't Kenny just come out and say it? and nip it in the bud, instead of stuttering and mumbling about the gulf between the leagues and then leaves himself wide open by calling up a number of players from the same league!.



Who knows,  maybe it’s best not to cut your bridges if needed in an emergency.  He was respectful to McGeady. Managers make calls all the time and move in a different direction. I think it’s a massive storm in a teacup personally.  

 
I don't think there is any storm. I just personally think he could have handled it better, he's cornered himself over it.
No issue is saying were building with new younger players and not closing the door on any older\senior player.



Yeah I also thought it was a daft thing to say. Specially as you are automatically going to contradict yourself by picking Parrot etc. 

I think he could have just said he wants to go a different direction and continue a policy of promoting younger players. But would never rule a player out from being picked.

As much as the candidness can be respected in some degree in Kennys press conferences. I think he needs to come up with pre-rehearsed lines when it comes to being asked questions about players like this.

The hmming and handing doesnt give me any confidence and he could just say something daft about a situation and scenario with a certain player that just comes across bad in print. Just simply because he has went too far with what he said or he is thinking on the spot to explain his rationale. 

Even the whole quote that there were people in the background that are working against him in the FAI in relation to the video gate episode. That just struck me as something he said off the cuff and then it opened up more questions for the media.

McGeady has a skillset that no one else in our entire squad has (O'Dowda would probably be the closest at a push) but this is one of Kenny's biggest mistakes in not including a player against a Serbian defence that could concede frees in good positions for us. 

He was asked during the week and mentioned the quality difference between each tier in the English leagues. Hard to explain Curtis' call up then in my opinion.

Do you not think it’s a case of what the player has delivered in the past and would possibly deliver in the future? The answer to both is, not a lot. So I wouldn’t say it’s a big mistake!
