Paddy McCourt: Why does he receive the adulation he does from our fans?

No he doesn't . He gets into the box and dives, preventing us from winning titles.

 

Really?

Are you privvy to the conversations of every supporter at Celtic Park?

 

Maybe because we were winning and the supporters weren't as edgy?

I actually don't remember any backpasses though but I'll take your word for it.

Believe me, if this forum is anything to go by then there should be twice as many Paddy haters in the stadium than Paddy admirers...

 

I take it this is just a hullacanation then?

He was barged off the ball.

 

He is no where near good enough, he is greedy, tries to take everyone on cant defend.

good at the end of a match when everyone is knackered but never ever a first team starter.

 

We were not winning.

 

You do know he has been used as a deep lying playmaker for us for a while now, and hasn't been trying to take people on, instead using his wonderful vision and weight of pass to set up chances?

 

Some people don't actually seem to watch players when they come on before opening there mouths to critisize.

 

We got our goal 9 minutes after Paddy came on

 

And.......?

 

And not a lot of time for many backpasses to be jeered is it?

It also coincided with our most concerted period of pressure, resulting in said goal, meaning that the ball had to be going the right way most of the time...

 

Yeah it's only 9 whole minutes
That was because Commons was pushed into a more forward central area.

 

Yeah it was all Commons, nothing to with anybody else.

Look pal, you don't like Paddy and I'm not going to change your mind so lets leave it because this is boring me to tears.

 

Yeah it was paddy no one else.

 

Where did I say that?

You are the one that narrowed it down to one person!

 

paddy's doing something right ,like when the time he came to now i believe of all the players paddy's got to be the one most talked/posted about ,,strange eh ,,slan

 

I bring up conclusive evidence, facts, statistics on why he doesn't deserve this praise and on a wider basis, have contributed with many threads that have sparked debate and you - The leader of the Paddy McCourt fan club - is questioning what I offer constructively to this forum...p.s I love how the McCourt lovers use the lack of match time as an excuse but don't actually consider why he's a fringe player, why he had zero SPL starts last season, why he's had 1 start against Rangers in four years at the club, why he's ha 1 European start in four years at the club and why it is that 3 different Celtic managers clearly don't see the breathtaking genius and class of Patrick McCourt, the ex Rochdale and Derry legend.

 

I've seen some trolling in my time but this... that takes the cake.
