paddy..one trick pony?

Have to agree with you. As a regular at the Brandywell I can vouch that it is simply not true that McCourt lost his place to McGinn.

 

Why should Crosas or any other player do McCourt's dirty work?? It's up to him to get his * in gear and get fit! He's supposed to be a professional footballer so he's got to get his finger out and learn to track back and be more of a team player, something that both McGeady and Maloney have done up until now!

 

not true ,,listen to the interview again , he never siad he wantedout on loan ,,,,,

 

At the moment I would rather McCourt played instead of Maloney. I'm fed up with the amount of chances Maloney gets and can't put a decent effort on goal. He scored a decent goal against Hamilton but once in a blue moon isn't ideal. I think McCourt is better at taking on players than Maloney. Maloney seems to run out of ideas when he's running with the ball. I do like Maloney but I just think we need to try something else.

 

Lol you clearly don't like Maloney if you would play McCourt ahead of him when he can only last half a game! McCourt might be better at taking on players but where does that get him most of the time? He kept taking on one man too many at the w/e and did * all! Maloney may hav missed a few chances but how can you say he scores once in a blue moon when has got 4 goals so far, just the same as McGeady and more than any other player in our team bar skippy! At least they both get into goal scoring positions in the first place and help out the full backs at the other end which is more than i can say for McCourt!

 

Paddy was in my house a few weeks ago and i can assure you he has more than one trick. As an example, have you ever seen him making the coffee cup disappear with the use of a dish towel, three matches and a handful of magic dust?

I thought not, he also went on to amuse and beguile the other guests with a torrent of card tricks that David Blane would give his goatee for the secrets to.

He actually dissapeared at 2.30a.m from my flat, whoosh, he was gone. Beat that!

One trick pony? I think not.

 

I said I do like Maloney but at the minute I would be playing McCourt instead of Maloney.

Just look at the performance we put in against Kilmarnock when Maloney was knowhere to be seen and the 2nd half against Hearts we battered them with chances and surprise surprise Maloney was taken off at half time. Defenders look * scared when McCourt gets the ball and they're backing off straight away and with McCourt's skill he'll beat most, if not all, defenders in the SPL.

I agree that he sometimes holds on to the ball too long and should play a pass sooner sometimes but the boys trying to impress and get a regular 1st team place and if he keeps going the way he's going and improving he'll get there. I would rather McCourt got past his man 5 out of 10 times and got a shot on goal and causing the defence problems rather than Maloney doing nothing.

I just remembered your a big Maloney fan. Like I said I don't dislike Maloney I'd just pefer to go with McCourt just now.

As for his fitness, how do you know Mowbray never took him off on saturday to keep him fresh for the Hamburg game on Thursday?

 

Do you honestly think we would get away with the way we played in the 1<SUP>st</SUP> half?? The whole team got a boot up the * at half time from TM and the fact that we went to 2 upfront for the last 30 mins is the reason we played a bit better in the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> half imo, not the fact that McCourt came on…….<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o> </o>
He’s scored 4 goals so therefore he is contributing…..<o></o>
<o> </o>
Who said I’m a big Maloney fan? I never said anything like that! I just think there are some people out ther that still have the blinkers on regarding him and refuse to give him a break! McGeady isn’t playing any better than Maloney was before he got injured!<o></o>
<o> </o>
Fitness….well his is a joke! I don’t know if you go to the games every week but he was huffing and puffing after 20 mins the other day! <o></o>

 

No we wouldn't get away with the way we played in the 1st half that's why Mowbray changed it and Maloney was taken off because he gave nothing to the cause, which he has done too often this season. That's why we have players like McCourt, McGinn, Mizuno etc, if Maloney isn't playing well then give him a rest and bring others in. If it's not McCourt then give McGinn a chance.

As for McGeady not playing as well as Maloney, are we watching the same Celtic?

Yes I am a season ticket holder but I wasn't at the game on Saturday as I had other commitments.

I know you always stick up for Maloney and I said I like Maloney but we should have our best players on the park every week. Maloney is behind McGinn and McCourt for me at the moment but he's still a good player to have in the squad.

 

He ws taken off cos he was injured mate!

They have been better than each other in different games, for me Maloney was better or more effective than McGeady against Rapid Vienna, Rangers, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, St Mirren, Hamilton etc!

The only reason that Maloney is behind McGinn and McCourt atm is cos hes injured Maloney is a far better overall player than the 2 of them! Dont buy into this "paddy is better at beatin players" * cos football isn't all about beatin players! Maloney has missed a few chances but were you at the Motherwell game at home?? McGeady missed about fekin 6 chances in the one game! He doesn't score enough goals either! Rant over

 

Well injured or not, he done absolutely nothing during the 1st half so even if he wasn't injured he should have still been taken off.

I'm not buying in to the "paddy is better at beating players pish", I'm seeing it with my own eyes!! Maloney runs out of ideas when he's running with the ball and he's so predictable.

Maloney has missed a few chances? A few??? He doesn't seem to be able to shoot half the time and his shot's have the power of an 8 year olds.

As for Maloney being better than McGeady in all those games you've mentioned, we must be watching a different Celtic.

 

:snack:

 

Lol u not think thats why he done nothin in the 1st half, the fact he ws injured?? Speakin of the 1st half....wot did your wee pal McGeady do apart from running into the Wallace Wall??? Nufin pal! And McGeady is my favourite player btw, but ive been frustrated with him this year! As I said they have been as bad as each other at times!

Why not just say you dont like Maloney rather than keep sayin "i like Maloney but" cos you clearly dont mate when you speak about him like that! Wot are you?? A hun??

 

Tell me about it lol! Why pretend you like a player and then say he's got a shot like an 8 year old! Least that crappy shot has brought him 4 goals so far this year, the same as McGeady!

 

You don't half talk some pish eh. McGeady's your favourite player is he? You could have fooled me the way you bang on about Maloney being our star man.

So Maloney was injured the whole of the 1st half was he and that's why he was so bad, I get it now!! Get a grip, if that was why he was playing so bad Mowbray would have subbed him long before half time.

I do like Maloney and that's why I said I did. I just think we should have our best players playing every week and at the moment he isn't one of them. If that's because, like you say, he's injured then he shouldn't be getting a game anyway until he's fit so McCourt or McGinn should be getting a game.

So I'm a hun now because I don't agree with the pish your coming out with. And my wee pal McGeady.

 

Think the problem is tht alot of ppl still hold it against him for leavin us and goin to villa so if he doesnt hav the best of games its totally over exaggerated n he tends to be the whippin boy when things arent goin rite! He was out best player against rapid vienna and looked the most dangerous even tho he missed chances, he looked as tho he was the only one tht was gona do anyfin but yet he didnt get that much praise! Even hav a look bk at the match thread, alot of people had him down as MOTM!

 

When did a say the maloney was our star man?? A never so get your facts rite pal! I sed hes a far better overall player than McCourt and McGinn! I never sed he was our star man or that he ws a better playin than McGeady either so stop puttin words in my mouth!

You like Maloney but hes got the shot power of an 8 year old? Wotever mate, you just have somethin against hime!

 

Och not you again having a go because I'm criticizing Maloney.

I said half the time his shot's have the power of an 8 year old's. It's true though some of his free kicks have the right height and direction, just no power in them. He's quick and put's in a lot of effort but at the moment he's not playing well so someone else should get a shot.

I would be saying the exact same about any other player who isn't perfoming so don't think i'm just having a go at him. Skippy's not in my good books at the minute either.

 

Grow up man!

I don't have anything against Maloney, he's just not performing just now. How many times do I have to say it?? I said half the time his shot has got the power of an 8 year olds and it has. Good direction and height but no power.

If Maloney comes back into the team and plays well then I'll be saying keep him in the team.

Are you on the wind up?

 

As a sed, mcgeady is my fav player and well McGeady isnt performin to his best just now either and av not heard you sayin, lets play mccourt n mcginn for mcgeady and maloney!

No am nt on the wind up, just get off his back and get behind the team tht TM picks!
