Bannan Impresses on Scotland Debut

[barrysleftfoot]

   I watched the 1st half last night.

  He is always very positive when he gets the ball, he always looks to "hurt" the opposition.

  More importantly, the weight of the pass is always correct, the ball through to Mackie in the 1st half, the lay off to the RB, all top quality passes.

  I would give him a 7/8 year contract now tbh.

  The best thing about him is you want him to get the ball, and i'm glad hes a Villa player.Hats off to the scout who picked him up at 14.

[The Situation]

We all knew the kid had potential, it was just a shame MON never really thought he had justified potential... now this season we've seen this season how great lil' Barry is. He's just been really professional and stepped up to the mark playing for us when we've needed him too - cracking lil' player he is, the Scottish Xavi.

I was afraid MON would sell the wee lad to Blackpool in the summer...  thank fook he didnt...    He is looking fantastic..

It will be interesting to hear MON's opinon on new look GH's Aston Villa. Probably kicking himself not giving youth a chance.

Didn't O'Neill give him a new long-term contract at the start of the summer?

Not to mention the fact that MON sent him on loan to Blackpool in order to gain experience.  Arguably experience that is aiding his performances at the moment.

Don't think he played a massive part for Blackpool.

He got bollocked by Holloway though for partying.

According to wiki, he played 30 times for blackpool and derby in 2009 and 2010.  A fair number of games.  I am sure that must have helped his development in some way.  Regardless, it's not really important just getting tired of the repetitive "MON was rubbish" jokes that are all over H&V.  Whilst I agree with their sentiment it's kind of getting like the "can he play right back?" gag of previous seasons.

Rant over.  Sorry.

[Villa'Zawg]

He scored a decent goal against Cov.

Good question, can he play right back?

[damon loves JT]

Why didn't Barry take the penalty?

[PaulTheVillan]

Why didn't Barry take the penalty?

He was only a child at the time.

Oh, that Barry.

It was still only against The Faroe Fucking Isles though. Let's not get too excited. Yet.
