A Poor Icelandic Gambit Line

I see people accepting the Icelandic Gambit fairly commonly.  It seems as though people miscalculate their chances at success with it.
 
Here's a game I played that exhibits the problems with accepting the Gambit (my preferred response is the Marshall Variation).
 
 
If you are playing against the Icelandic Gambit, do not use this line.

From what I recall (I play this too) 9.Qf3 is a killer.

Your move is good too though I think.

Actually I hadn't considered that one.  I would have to look into that line.
