killen is not out of favour hes been starting in games sure he is
probably surplus but him and mcdonald who is banging in at the
moment are starting to create a good partnership

To say that Killen is the poor mans Smeltz is a little silly.
Although I have always thought Smeltz had potential, realistically
this is his first really succesful season. Killen seems to have a
reasonable scoring record wherever he goes. A case in
point...compare their goalscoring records for NZ. Another good
season from Smeltz next year might convince me otherwise.
Bang on. I fully believe that Killy will become NZ's
greatest ever striker (I would say he's fourth right now
behind Covs, Summner and WR).
Greater than Wynton Rufer? IMO not a chance of that happening. Second best, maybe.
Yeah, in respect to playing for NZ, but not in overall
reputation.

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories but the situation with
our top class professional in the UK is getting beyond a joke.
that
should result in many angry retorts??
Herbet is 'frustrated', i bet that is putting it mildly, i'd
absolutely f^*%@#$ s&*%%#$.
Anyway back to the conspiracy theory.
Nelson and mrs decide to have baby, thinking about timing
they get the football schedule out and decide nine months
before the world cup qualifiers would be about right!!, Hughes
gives him a bonus!
At least killen came for the last game but two long trips
close together na too much hassle i'll just pull up a little lame
and have the physio send me home to bed!!
Anyway that's all bull$%^ but i think we need a good
conspiracy theory around this.
I know this is cutting your nose off to spite your face, but
if Nelson is trying not to play for the all whites how about not
selecting Nelson when he does want to play!
that
should result in many angry retorts??

Chris Killen's Celtic are into the next round of the Champions
League!
Is that the furthest a Kiwis been???

No. Danny Hay played in a semifinal with Leeds against
Barca at the Bernabeau back in 2000/2001. He played about two
minutes at the end when Lucas Radebe got injured.

No, the game against Barcelona (at Nou Camp by the way, Real Madrid play at Santiago Bernabeu!) was in the group stages with Barca winning 4-0. Leeds did make the semi-finals of the Champions League that season (2000/2001) but were knocked out by Valencia 3-2 on aggregate (2-0 to Leeds at Elland Road, 3-0 to Valencia at Mestalla) at that stage. Hay's brief appearance at Nou Camp was the only one of his career.
Werder Bremen may well have also progressed to the stage of last 16 or last 8 when Wynton Rufer was there, but I can't be sure of this off the top of my head. Might look it up later.

It's true that killen in this season it's non doing enough goals,
but in the stathistics he playd 523 minuts(not a
lot) and he signed 1 gol,and he were unlucky agnaist
montherwell...
mc donald played 1758 minutes and vennegoor 1442
so he don't play enough for the moment...

Yeah I don't think he'll be at Celtic for much longer. The damn
Aussie has over shadowed him.

Great! in Celtic-STmirren 1-1
mc donald and vennegoor was useless...
Mc donald had a period of terrible form at the begin of the
season,but he can play well wnd sign goals for all the season,now
he's going under with the performances and vennegoor too,
Strachan likes killen and I think that in this periode he can
point on him.

LOL just because Mc donald and vennegoor had 1 bad game u seem
to write them off. As if Killen would do any better. The whole team
looked tired - prob from Champ/League fixtures.
In saying that, IF Mc D gets rested then its a good
opportunity for Killen to shine/get some form happening. And
hopfully score some goals.

Not for only one game
for example look in milan-celtic ok it was a difficultous
macth but mc donald do anything
in celtic-iverness 1-1 vennegoor didn't played well
And olso in celtic-shaktar 2-1 the goals were done by jarosik
and donati and vennegoor didn't do anything
if you look the strike partner vennegoor-mcdonald didn't do a
lot
they loosed 2-0 by hearts and drawed two not difficultous

It's not just about scoring goals... yes..scoring goals is what a
striker has to do but it also includes holding up the ball, etc etc
etc.

VOH and Skippy are playing well and are not off form.
Well said convict, 100% agree that the lads were most likely
tired from CPL but also from the schedule they have had
recently.
Killen will get his chance. Don't you worry.
And its not great that WE drew with St Miren 
ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

he'll be gone nxt month to some championship club probably

I really hope he doesn't move permanently, he's young and playing
with top class players is probably doing him a lot of good. Its
possible that if he moves to the Championship it could be a step
backwards in his career though the game time will do him good. If
he's really not in Strachan's plans right now I'd rather see him go
somewhere on loan until he's ready or one of the more prominent
strikers gets injured or hits a rough patch.

They don't have much money atm but it looks like they could do with
a striker with a good eye for goal. Is he up to that standard yet
though?

hes been to the premeir league before with manchester city
only made three apearences

Well they obviously thought he wasn't up to it.

I doubt if he would make it into a NZFC team.
He cant holdup the ball and needs pin-point passes/crosses for
him to atlest try to score.

And I suppose you think your boy Macdonald is amazing and can do no wrong? Killen is of a much higher standard than any striker in the A-League, though there are players in the league with more potential.

Well, when Killen played alongside Smeltz against Fiji, he looked a decidedly poorer player.
John Aloisi, the Nut-puncher and Archie Thompson are more talented and better players than Killen, and there's a few more forwards around in the A-league who I'd rather see play for the Phoenix than Killen.

i think the problem is that none of us have really seen him play too often, due to his clubs not being televised in NZ. The game against fiji he was gash, but i can understand why, what with flying 12,000 miles and having half the games called off - I think he was fully entitled to think that football in NZ is a joke, and there is no point in bothering coming back for these mickey mouse games.
He has done well at Oldham, Hibs and is now at celtic, so he cannot be that bad a player.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

I think his best days are behind him now, and he should look for a
club in the NZFC or some Asian club/s.
If the two clubs from QLD join the A-League maybe Killen
could look for a spot on the bench @ either one of them.

gee... this aussie likes to bait dunnhee...no wonder he was
deported...
I thought Killen played ok against Brazil being the only real
time i've seen him play...yeh he was genuinely in the frame until
Macdonald started playing like a legend according to a friend who
supports celtic over here...
yeh can't blame him with the crap surrounding nz football...I
think he was gunna get a start or something when he came over for
the cancelled game...
hope vennegor retires and he starts to play like a legend...I
think he might not always be a charmer either from dirty
rumours...but not a pre-req of being a top striker...

Trust me I was hoping for Killen to fire at Celtic like a Thai
GO-GO Girl on heat, But he had`nt. Where at Hibs he was getting
games and did look the goods.

Ha ha ha, just read your post Convict. I have to agree
that after playing Benfica in the Champions League Killen is
probably relishing the chance to turn out for 'Canterbury Who?' or
'Waitakere What?'. And at 26 he's past it and likely to follow
Thierry Henri's lead and wind down his career by warming a bench in
some remote cultural backwater.
I hear that Harry Kewell is looking to sign for Whittlesea
Zebras as he heard Kristian Rees found it a useful pathway to
cracking the big league with the Phoenix. Cahill, Emerton and Neill
are waiting in hopeful anticipation to see if it works out...
Killen is doing well and won't be on his way home for some
years yet. I guess it's all to do with the Australian perspective
on football that's brought about this misunderstanding of
footballing success. Hopefully someone may help us on this issue
because I don't understand it even though it is a simple question-
'if Australia is such a big place, why is their gene pool so
small?'
