No way did paddy fake it, next ball he could have beaten 4 men and put it in the top corner, thats what you get with a player like Paddy good, bad and brilliant in the same 5 minutes. dont slag him enjoy him.

well we all have opinions, but i will tell you something, a manager of a higher stature would not put up with his level of fitness, he has been at celtic long enough and should be well ahead in fitness level, even lennon said he doesnt know what to do with him, he has skill in abundance but untill he actually plays a full game he can never realy be assessed on weather he is a flash in the pan 10 minute wonder or a player who can make a team great. i would reather have a real professional on the park who is willing to give his all for the team, using him as a sub in the hope he can produce for the last 10 minutes is something no serious manager would put with. i believe he will fade away if he doesnt come through soon. at least mcgeady ran his guts out for 90 mins and produced as much brilliance if not more than paddy has.

I'd have to see he's best used as an impact substitute. He really thrives when the game is stretched and opposition are tired. The last thing they'd want to contend with is a skillful winger like Paddy. Hence why he's able to tear them apart easily.
He's less effective starting and going up against a fresh team.

I do not believe for a minute that he feigned injury. Why would he do that?

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.

It is time Paddy himself recognised that he is not suited as a starter, he should be delighted with his role as an "impact sub". He should see this role as being every bit as crucial as to those who start. Against tired legs, that's the time that the skills of Paddy should be unleashed, relish your role Paddy and stop seeing it as being something that lacks some sort of fulfilment.

Against tired legs, that's the time that the skills of Paddy should be unleashed, relish your role Paddy and stop seeing it as being something that lacks some sort of fulfilment. Firstly I want to say that idea that McCourt faked injury to get off the pitch because `he didn`t fancy it` is absolutely pathetic Secondly I want to comment on the above quote and the notion that McCourt is best suited to the role of impact sub. I don`t agree with that at all. Look at the game on Sunday, in the short period of time McCourt was on the picth our sole attacking philosophy was, give the ball to Paddy and hope he does something with it. Time and again McCourt went off on one of his solo runs sometimes dragging 3 or 4 defenders out of position. What we need to concentrate on is getting the best out of the space created by this. No one gave McCourt an option, there was no one dropping off to make themselves available and no one willing to burst forward from midfield. We have seen a similar problem over the last few years with McGeady, as a result we got the tiresome `no end product` jibe, directed at Aiden, now we have `he is better as an impact sub` directed at Paddy.

McGeady did not have a good end product. Some pointed at his assists record, but it's less impressive when you realize how often he beat a man. More often than not his crossing was pathetic, that's got nothing to do with people not making themselves available.
I thought McCourt done alright in the time he was on the pitch and I'm not sure if I agree that he's best used as an impact sub, but he didn't look to pass it off to anyone whether they were available or not. He tried to take on men and it more often than not didn't work out on Sunday. There were options if he wanted to take them and that showed when he went off on Sunday as nobody else struggled to find a pass.

i agree with the majority here. paddy is best suited coming on in the last half hour when defenders are tiring.

I voted for depending on the game, I think he would start against teams that are famous for defending in numbers. I would like to see him playing just behind the front two , but he needs to beef up a bit and work on his pace. So first name on the teamsheet for the huns game then! To tell you the truth I haven't made my mind up about Paddy's role yet because we've still to see him have a decent run as part of the starting eleven. Neil Lennon obviously rates him highly and has started him in SPL matches when he's been fit but Paddy's been unfortunate that those two freakish injuries have prevented him getting any sort of run together. Btw I'm putting those injuries down to really bad luck but if anything like that happens again in the near future I'm afraid I'll have to diagnose him as suffering from WCDS (that's wee china doll syndrome)

funny how the thread starter has not replied to his slaughtering, he HAS read through the thread a couple of times. I don't mind taking a slaughtering, especially if it's for something I truly believe in. I don't like it myself and thought twice about posting the thread. But hey, that's what forums are for aren't they ? I'm a kickboxing instructor in my spare time and that's what triggered my gut reaction about Sunday. I've seen many talented, gifted fighters that give up sparring once they're hit hard. Concussion, laboured breathing is cited yet after a shower they're off for a pint. Seen it too often. Other less talented, less gifted fighters have to be told they've had enough. It's called pride. I don't doubt that Paddy's fall hurt, but a sling ? Not convinced. My gut churned as I've seen that body language before. Sorry if I've offended anyone or aided the Hun media in any way, but if I can't post a gut feeling about a Celtic related issue on a Celtic forum then what ? Hail Hail !

Many years ago when i was playing footy, i got upende on the park and landed on my left shoulder, a wee bit of the magic sponge and right as rain, I woke up at 3am the next morning and the whole left hand side of my body was paralised, I kid you all not, my bro woke with me punching him with my right arm and got me out of the bed and eventually the movement came back, hospital said it was a trapped nerve,,scared the shxx out of me, so even though it looked like a slip, it does not take much to render someone out of it.
