If it were true it would be a nail in his career, it looked pretty innocuous even after two or three replays, to be honest he DID look frustrated after his skills couldn't beat any Killie defenders and to me Celtic looked like it was their only gameplan to get at Killie and it clearly wasn't working. I said many times that McCourt is and now only can be an impact substitute, now whether he is happy to wear that tag remains to be seen, but he is not a starter for me.

I don't think he faked it. It might have looked pretty innocuous but his arm was fully stretched to try and break his fall and his upper body ended up slightly lower than it as his head hit the ground. Something might have pulled or popped, he certainly looked in a fair bit of pain.
I didn't think he was doing too badly when he went off. He was tackled more often than not, but he managed to skip past a few players and get to the line a couple of times.

If he had faked injury two things would have happend by now
1,it would be all over the gutter press this morning
2,he would have been bodily flung out of Parkhead
I said in another thread how i thought he was a natuaral born footballer,i stand by that,i also voiced the fear that he could get very frustrated playing 90 mins with very close attention from defenders,this appears to be the case.Paddy for this season needs to be used as a sub,he needs to get his head sorted and then maybe next season we will see a 90 min Paddy

cant see the bhoy faking it myself tbh, however it`s a real concern about the bhoys fitness levels like has been said before i think he is best utilised as inpact sub for the short term at least.

I don't think for a minute hefaked it, he was actually starting to get the better off the Killie defenders, the first 2/3 times he could not get past them, then he started having success, the fall looked pretty innocuous, but I have actually seen a person killed by an innocous fall. I agree with the sentiment that Paddy is not a 90 minute man, but is an impact sub. Teams always try to hit us within the first 15/20/ minutes, thats when we should concentrate on consolidating defence, then with 30/35 minutes to go bring Paddy on when their defenders are knackered, he will then set up/score the goals needed. Hail Hail

I immediately thought the same as the OP. I don't know why but I thought he looked like he wasn't enjoying it and wanted to come off. Like I say I have no idea why this occurred to me and a few other fellas in the pub watching. The more we thought about it we came to the conclusion that he wouldn't have come off unless he had to. I've since heard he did pop his shoulder out and should be back in no time. But what yesterday does highlight is the man appears to be made of glass held together with pritt stick. I reckon he should be used as an impact sub more often than not

I think that it is shocking that with no proof or any idea of his injury that someone can come out and make this statement. How many times have we slagged off the rag tops for making up and printing rubbish, then some of our own guys come out and print this???? Get a grip man.

No he didn't fake it, but he really is a very fragile player, best used as a sub when the opposition is tiring

Sorry Masterson,but it is fair.An opinion is one thing,but this is nothing more than slander,and against a Celtic player into the bargain.Whats the difference between this statement,and the DRs,"Thugs and thieves"headline.Both written without a shred of evidence.Did we say"the DR is entitled to its opinion".We boycotted it!!!This"opinion"should not have saw the light of day on this site.

There, I said it ! Never thought I'd say this about a Celtic player but I have. Paddy, the Derry Pele, The Show, looked a mess yesterday. Physically and mentally. After his first 3 attempts didn't pay off he looked frustrated and disillusioned. I watched the game at my CSC in Kent and when he went down, holding his hand up on impact, I saw a player that was beaten. We have young players that would run through brick walls for Celtic, Paddy's inclusion keeps them out. I hope I'm proven wrong as such negativity about a Celtic player doesn't bode well with me, but I saw what I saw and I didn't like it one bit. Great players, real men, pick themselves up and try again. If that fails they pick themselves up and try again. I have a hunch that it will be a long time before The Show takes another player's place in the first 11. Well done Stokesy BTW. Hail Hail ! You may verywell be right although only Paddy would know, apparently there is no separation or dislocation of the shoulder I believe. I disagree with you on the amount of times he lost the ball one way or the other, and accomplished nothing go look at the replay game again, it was the first 5 times not 3 times he lost the ball!

I think we're just going to have to accept that Paddy IS an effective 'impact player', but NOT a 1st team starter....(after many on here calling for the same)....he is extremely skillful, but a physical mess. I fear we will NEVER get the best out of him, so let's just appreciate his cameo roles from the bench.

i think he fell awkwardly and obviously done himself some damage...some players like paddy and wee shaun and big rogne...just seem to have the unlucky knack of always injuring themselves...but i do agree paddy does seem to make a better impact when coming on as a late sub...

Post by mccaffery on Sept 20, 2010 18:42:12 GMT
I don`t think he faked it. But, I do think he is a sub player not a full 90 mins. I personally see no problem with that .What do you think?

Cant see that he would fake an injury to get off the pitch.
He does however look quite vulnerable to the rough and tumble.
Defo an impact player.
HAIL HAIL
