    Stupid argument...quality wise is may not be good, but read my the James Mcarthy thread, where I talk about what Croatia's luka Modric said about the Bosnian League.

    That's his trademark spin. :) He did it against Hibs yesterday. What frustrates me is when he does it he almost always puts in a cross. The chances of a goal resulting from a cross is slim.
    Your complaining about a wide player putting a cross in? That strikes me as bizzare Eirebhoy.

    Why is that? Look at a more extended clip of that spin against Aberdeen here (2nd clip):

    He beats the player and is free. What Ronaldo or Messi would do then is run into the box and make it easier to find a teammate with a pass. You don't need to leave a player for dead to put in a top class cross so it's a bit of a waste of such an effective piece of skill.

    you still need to make room for yourself to get a decent cross in.
    My problem with that clip is that he DIDNT put a decent cross in.
    (all i need is another line about putting a decent cross in ;)

    I do see where your coming from but Ronaldo or Messi have far better supporting midfielders to pass the ball too than mcgeady

    I am trying not to be biased against McGeady BUT I personally would love to play against him every week... rattle him and he goes into hiding....

    I've never seen what the hype has been about him....

    I do have to say that this usual p*sh about the SPL being a poor standard and only 2 teams in it.... the EPL lovers should take their blinkers off and watch the SPL week in week out.... I'm not saying it silky soccer each week BUT for example Blackburn v Fulham, Derby v Aston Villa are not exactly La Liga standard !!!

    Too true.. On all your points.
