    Im not saying you do but why do people say let him go? Wheres the same quality replacement going to come from? yes we might get a healthy bit of money but what good has that done us up till now? The money that has been available frnakly hasnt been spent on someone of mcgeadys calibre, so what makes fans so sure selling him will get us better players, we havent been able to do it so far. We might get 8 mill for him but we aint gona spend 8 mill on one player and if we did we arent going to find an 8 mill player whos better than mcgeady and understands the SPL, what we need is a very good manager to improve every player becuase our player development hasnt gone anywhere this past year, no one is really that much better than they were last year

    exactly.if we finished 3rd in the league would all the do gooders be sittin sayin "dont criticise any player"....don't think so.i would sell mcgeady if we got offered more than 7 million.maybe his replacement wouldn't be as skillful but in reality how many assists and goals does he get a season?he looks the part but he is so wasteful sometimes

    A see were your coming from he is important to the team and he can produce abit of magic when we need it but on the other hand if someone offered 7-10m for him, i would expect the club to take it and use it for a replacement mabe someone not as good but certainly good enough and someone who can hopefully be consistant.

    You make good points.

    you really want me to answer that?

    6 goals, he should score more but its not for a lack of trying, his shooting is sometimes amazing but most times quite bad, something which he will improve on

    9 Assists, the top in the team, hinkel is after him, where would we be without him this season, quite a bit further back

    "well i pay good money so i have a right to say..." like a stuck record, if a player is playing bad u shouldnt be calling for him to be sold, u have a right to say there not playing like they can, not to turn against them and call for there head

    Surely it is normal to criticise players like Naka, McGeady Boruc McDonald when they play poorly? WHy they * not? If we know the have ability like the all do/did and arnt playing well they deserve every criticism they get. They earn in 1 year more than you will in your entire life. If im not up to it when im at my work, im going to get pulled up. So why not them??

    It has been a long time since Mcgeady came into the team,his mistakes should have been, corrected by now,he is a man now not a fresh faced youngster,so what makes me think he has gone as far as he can go,and will have reached his potential,this is where his limit will be, you look at Rooney and how he dose get better,so this is where he is at.

    Im not saying dont critise a player after a bad game, but the type of critism after one game is horrendous, people are calling for them to be kicked out the team, and be sold, that is way over the top, thats what i hate, people forgetting about what a player can do and turn on them at the first sight of trouble

    What do you put that down to? I reckon hes not being coached well enough, he needs a manager who can improve him, something which he hasnt had yet, but he is amazing, his dribbling is unreal, and no doubt about it he will imrpove, might be a late developer, he is 24 and yes even i expect more of him, but i realise not everyone reaches their peak at 24 more when they get into their late 20s


    In the league Mcgeady has more assists than hinkel, overall i think hinkel may have more, even people want rid of him for some reason, imagine they had both gone thats our 2 top assisters in the team

    Would agree that Hinkel, Nakamura, McGeady and McDonald were / are unfairly treated.

    Boruc has been poor for a long time, his kicking is terrible, he seems to have no intention of getting the weight down, is suspect at crosses and has lost a lot of the key traits he had when he first arrived, most notably his swagger and confidence. People need to look beyond the 'holy-goalie' pish and ask themselves what we are actually getting from him?

    Fans of every club are the same mate, thats just the way it is.

    A run of 4-5 good games will quickly be forgotten with one big mistake.

    when was the last time he made a Big mistake? Not this season anyway, and hes getting on form, hes had injuries this season, played with injuries bot been his best, and hes be excellent since february, i think hes lost weight also, his goalie top was no where near as tight on him as before lol, hes a brilliant keeper, a celtic hero for me, id hate it if he went

    Susos goal at parkhead v Hearts he shoulda stopped, millers 1st goal at ibrox he was out of position and fell on his *, Dunfermline cup game he went wandering out of his goal for the equaliser, those are just off the top of my head.

    He's not the shot-stopper he was and he's not the presence he was.

    they are players and earn a lot of money. they have contracts, a work to do. therefore criticism is needed. the key word here is constructive, as in constructive criticism.

    what I don't get is when people start moaning, cursing out our own players during the game. even if they ain't playing well. sometimes it's one of these days. sometimes nothing works. we all have such days. especially when you see a player plays and fights hard and is passionate about the game. even if he commits two major mistakes, so what? can't blame him the way some of our "fans" do. he gave his best, he tried his best, he just had a bad day.

    on the other hand, if some players just think it's good enough when they stand on the pitch, don't do anything at all, have no passion, no fighting spirit and look uninterested, then I say it's fair to kick the * outta them. they ain't representing our colours, they are just there for the benjamins. we don't need those parasites at CP.

    to cut a long story short: Booing and cursing out own players during the match is wrong. it's counterproductive and only harms the player and the team even more. especially if somebody goes through a rough spell but you can see he tries but just has no confident at the moment, he deserves and needs our support.

    our players are subjected to constructive criticism after the game. I can understand when some users choose harsh and sometimes over the top words, in the heat of the moment a lot of things are being said people don't really mean.

    but certain "fans", that always only show up here on the board or at pubs and only say negative stuff, curse out each and everyone, they should get the boot.

    even those "fans", that are seasonticket holders. having a season ticket doesn't give you the right to be a complete * and * for 90 mins.

    Those were when he was injured, similarites? All to his right, the dunfermline goal was a bit bad, but he just came back from injury, you give a player 10 games or so to get going and he has been amazing the last month or so

    There are 3 Untouchables in our team for me should not be sold if we want to move forward

    Hinkel - Quality all over, Great RB

    Boruc- Top top keeper, still makes sensational saves and keeps us im games with wonder saves, if you doubt him judge him at the end of the season

    Mcgeady - For all his faults he is the best we have got, should not be sold

    Why sell these players to get money, they are our better ones and ones we should be looking to keep, selling them would be making the club go more backwards

    Samaras is another, yes hes very fustrating to watch but how many times peoples opinion changes of him is ridiculous, when playing well hes just great to watch, beats players, strentgh, he was good yesterday and ye he is inconsistent but people praise him when hes on form saying hes amazing and as soon as he has a bad game, hes suddenly not good enoug and has to leave

    Fair enough if players are consistantly bad like naylor but as soon as samaras, crosas, nguemo, fortune etc make one bad pass or miss a chance everyone around me starts shouting
    "Thats f*cking Sh*te 'insert name above' get tae F*ck"
    Does my head in!

    To be fair though Naylor did play quite well yesterday.
