Didnt realise he was from Leith and a Hibby. Actually think he is a very good wide player and notice he is out of contract at end of the season so wouldnt be surprised if we may be in for him. Seems a little injury prone but good ability IMO.

Apparently played a blinder against the Yams - probably bursting a gut to beat them

Remember playing against him years ago. He was a class player at boys club level. Spent a long time at Celtic. Good to see him playing at a good level.

***Golden Bear*** · 17-01-2013 04:48 PM

And he probably has an Irish connection with a name like Riley so he meets the criteria.

All the best families have a Riley or Reilly in their family tree

Thats what i meant

***Piqué*** · 17-01-2013 07:44 PM

Saw him in the hibs end at Tynecastle the other week

***ACLeith*** · 17-01-2013 07:46 PM

Known Nicky since he was born. Went to Hermitage and Leith Academy and in the BB in Leith. Joined Celtic from school, chances there ruined by injuries, out for a couple of years. Got chance with Dundee around the time they went into administration for the second time. I wondered if he could make the step up to SPL, especially in Dundee's circumstances at the start of the season, and delighted to see him doing so well.

He has had a few injuries with Dundee but a real nice lad who deserves to succeed, his parents have been a real positive influence on him in his career.The type of guy who gives fitba players a GOOD name

If I see him before Saturday I'll wish him well - and hope he gets the MOTM award even though his team loses.

Decent player. The only Dundee player that has impressed me this season. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Hibs jersey.

Futsal? That's what they play over here just you described. Good game but you get booked for any hint of a tackle from behind!!
