Killen was useless against benfica
Killen is a poor mans Smeltz :D
(obviously we know Killen has better in him).
Based on the Fiji game, surprisingly enough no.
Exactly what I was thinking
Killen Comments
Some interesting comments from Killen re the Fiji trip and
difficulties of playing for All Whites in this story from the
Herald in Scotland. be interesting to see if he makes it back for
vanuatu
"Killen flew to Fiji to play for New Zealand during the
last international break, but his country's World Cup qualifier was
postponed due to a visa row. The match was eventually played the
following weekend, but it highlighted the many frustrations
involved in representing his country.
"It was a bit of a nightmare. I flew 11,000 miles to get home and the first game was called off. It took three planes, 24 hours in the air and a 32-hour round trip. There's two games in next month's international window. The New Zealand manager understands that it is sometimes not feasible to go back for friendly games.
"If there's a chance of me playing for Celtic, then it's not worth the journey to play in a game which might not even happen.
"But the forthcoming games are World Cup and Confederations Cup qualifiers."
Full article here -
sounds like he did a decent enough job alone up front against
benfica - and he did hold onto his starting spot for the next
game, the 3-0 overnight win against Motherwell. He and Mcdonald
played - mcdonald got 3, but sounds like Killen went alright again
from match reports.
yeah, aside from the financial cost, problems planning ahead (eg.
olympic hosting withdrawal), and having to play fiji on a nuetral
ground - Peters and co are also potentially f**king up our
chances of getting players like Killen and Nelsen back
aaarrrgghhh!
aaarrrgghhh!
Killen was useless against benfica
that's not the consensus - i saw one report that said he was
poor and others that said he did a v good job playing on his own
and given celtic didnt get anyone forward
didnt see it myself
but manager gave him a start next game - when he certainly
didnt have to
Killen is a poor mans Smeltz :D
??????????????????????????
erm don't you mean it the other way around?

He got a great review from the Celtic manager for his
performance on Saturday. One of the local Glasgow papers is saying
that Killen's perfomances are showing that he's not Vinegar of
Heffelump's (or whatever his name is) understudy any more and is
pushing to be a regular starter. Might put the link to the article
up late if I can be bothered!
There you go, contrary to our customary editorial policy a little
bit, but I've put up two Killen stories on the frontpage to go with
this thread.
