Good for McGeady....looks like he knocked it in with his nipple!

Was this a league match? Must admit to being shocked at how small the crowd was!

Anyhow, here's an embedded version of vid for handiness sake

It was a league game, 12,000 at the game as far as i can find http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/...9&league=RUS.1

The Luzhniki holds close to 80,000, i'm guessing there poor league position and the fact it was against a side just above the relegation zone meant it wasn't going to be the most popular match. Looking at the last games in the Luzhniki for League matches the attendances are always quiet low.

CSKA's last home game - 6,000 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?i...=RUS.1&cc=5739

Spartak Moscows last home game - 18,000 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?i...=RUS.1&cc=5739

Lokomotiv versus Spartak was only 33,000, not great for 2 teams from the same city http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?i...=RUS.1&cc=5739

in his first game over there he skinned the left full for the whole first half,then in second half they doubled up on him and he skinned two of them! i think he is a crackin player,at his best droppin the shoulder and skippin across the box and firing in a low drivin shot! set up a lovely goal in the last match,split the defence with a good ball.

and he is one of the most natural wingers we have to choose from,him and duff, duffer obviously ahead of him but duff cant stay around for ever! id have him over hunt anyday,cant stand him, comes on and just kicks the ball away for half an hour, kicks one or two of the oppositions players and people think he is a ****in hero?? look at the amount of chances he will give away against us in the closing stages of matches, its actually shockin! liam lawernce is a grafter, against teams we wont be attacking, id say a good few knowin trap he does a good job, but if you want someone to attack and get you the ball into the final 3rd then mcgeady is the man!

Thats a McGeady goal alright.

For "Ireland's most talented player" its a pity he can't kick a ball properly.

curry-muff · 25-09-2010, 04:07

McGeady is way overrated.

PaddyBomb · 25-09-2010, 11:05

Well done to him, great start at his new club. Hope it continues.

MUSEIST · 25-09-2010, 11:36

meh

McGeady scores 90th min winner for Spartak yesterday as they won 2-1. It was a peno. The lad is doing well in what was a brave move.

**Yakult** · 31-10-2010, 19:12

Would have liked to see him move to the EPL. Ah well, he might not be ready for that move yet.

YayaBanana · 31-10-2010, 19:12

I see Trap has also said he was wrong advising him not to go and that he thinks he has made a brilliant start to his time in Russia.

I'm sure that if he was ready for a move to Russia, he would have been ready to move to England. He is better off playing for a top Russian side that keeps the ball on the ground rather than some mid-table EPL team who likes to hoof the ball.

From the youtube highlights it looks like he got the assist for the first Spartak goal also. Funny to hear the Russian fans sing the chorus of 'MCGEADY' as the stadium announcer says his name. Good to see him doing well, he gets too much unwarranted stick from Irish fans but tbh he is a quality player and we are lucky to have him.

Nailed his cross for the first goal and stuck the pen well to the bottom left. Highlights here.

I wouldn't say he is overrated, because he splits opinion so much, its not like everyone thinks he's great.
