disgruntled_bear 157 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 If the boot was on the other foot. We had Barry Ferguson vs PLG and we all know how that finished. Now we have our greatest rivals in the same boat with McGeady vs WGS, i just wonder if the outcome will be the same! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fined and suspended him for 2weeks, meaning he misses the OLDFIRM match. McGeady is there equivalent of Ferguson, he's come through the youth ranks/fan and a fans favourite.

James_Dean 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It isn't really the same. McGeady hasn't been at Celtic nearly as long as Ferguson was at Rangers and he wasn't the captain of Celtic either. A better comparison would have been Lennon in his days at Celtic.

McGeady has been at Celtic probably over 10years, I'd say thats long enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,448 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I don't see it for the simple reason that McGeady isn't Celtic's captain, or the ring lieader of a clique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,813 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Was thinking the same Thank god somebody else see it I just saw the comparisons between Strachan v McGeady and Ferguson v Le Guen. I still back Ferguson though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,772 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not realy the same. Strapon has won three titles in a row and got them to the last 16 of the CPL twice. PLG has down hee haw for us apart from blow the league by xmas and then get us knocked out of the CIS cup at home by lower league opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGeady is Celtic favourite son who is dyed in all there traditions, and brought through their youth set-up! I'd say the comparison with Ferguson is not far off!

AMMS 27 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I think you'll have to wait and see if the Celtc support boo Strachan from the bus on Saturday, chant McGeadys name all through the match and then boo Strachan after it and if Scott McDonald makes a gesture of support for McGeady in a nice public way. If that happens then we can start making comparisons. But if Celtc don't win their next 2 games it just might you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we've been so successful since he left The PLG era was fucking shocking Papa, how on earth you'd want to go back to that i have no idea. We were lying 5th at one point, we went out of the cup via a 1st Division team, he brought in some shite. Aye, Walter hasn't brought in amazing players, but i'd say we are alot better off now than we were under PLG. If you disagree you really are over exagerating.
