Irish Abroad 2009/2010

[Umberside]

Lee Carsley scored for Birmingham, hopefully he will be back in the Irish set-up soon.

[tetsujin1979]

QPR have just punished them, with Hogan Ephraim firing the Championship side in front from the edge of the area.
has he ever made any noises about playing for Ireland? According to his wiki page he's played for England at several underage levels, and also qualifies for Nigeria

[SkStu]

alright Tets, i thought he was mentioned as a future irish prospect a few times on this forum (the bible). Ill see if i can find it.

edit: http://foot.ie/forums/showthread.php?p=914814&highlight=ephraim#post914814

he qualifies for us alright but is not overly enthusiastic about it which led to some choice comments on that thread!!

[SkStu]

Ben Burgess the only Irish scorer tonight??

[theworm2345]

Ben Burgess the only Irish scorer tonight??
Micky Cummins of Rotherham as well

[TheBoss]

You think this guy may have Irish roots ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Delaney

[zackmorris]

Certainly sounds like he has. Get in touch with the FAI about him and let them know about him or ask them to find out if he is eligible. I did it with James Wallace and they got back to me within 20 mins.

Hi I have been asked a few times about Patrick and how he is getting on ( he is my nephew) so i thought I would update people.
Patrick played for the under 21's and is currently playing for FC Berlin who were promoted last year to the second division in the Bundesliga and are currently top of the division. He is a regular player for them and enjoying his football. He has very fond memories of playing for Ireland and follows the teams progress and has been to see as many matches as he can.

[robbie_B]

Mark Bunn who is on loan at Sheffield United from Blackburn is eligible to play for Ireland.

[bwagner]

Where did you hear that Robbie?

[robbie_B]

I freelance in London and got a call from an Irish fan telling me about Bunn. I have previously tipped off the FAI about English born players who are eligible for Ireland.

This fan, who grew up watching Bunn play for Northampton thought he would go on to be a top keeper and asked me to contact the FAI. Not sure if they checked up on him.

[bwagner]

Great stuff man, doubt the Fai will do a thing until its too late.

[Yard of Pace]

Made me think of the infamous bun-fight that resulted in Jack Charlton's appointment this...:o

Mark Bunn who is on loan at Sheffield United from Blackburn is eligible to play for Ireland.

I saw a quote from this guy in one of the UK papers last year saying he was eligible for us, so he must be keen

It was Eoin Hand who got appointed as a result of this - recently re-read his book.

[cestlavie]

Ciaran Clarke made premiership debut last week for the Villa. Father is from just outside Letterkenny in Co. Donegal, Grandmother lives in Letterkenny area, currently captain of England u21 team. Would be class addition to Ireland ranks

http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/PlayerProfiles/0,,10265~46006,00.html

[Colbert Report]

I can't see him declaring for Ireland after captaining the England u-21 team. Villa wouldn''t let him, for one! English players are worth more on the transfer market for no apparent reason.

What is it with 2nd G centre backs? Martin Keown, Gary Cahill, Andy O'Brien (sort of) and now Clarke.

[eirebhoy]

Non football but not a bad performance at all from Jim O'Brien:

Best of luck to the lad, hope it works out for him. Will still keep an eye out for him and hope he makes it at Villa.

[zackmorris]

The FAI website also said that Lowry has dropped out to pursue his international career with the country of his birth (Australia).

Nothing against the guy personally, but it's kind of embarrassing when he is referred to as British in the article, and talks about returning home to England to play one day!

I hope a Dingo eats his football boots!!

Graham Carey on the bench for Celtic today, he played against Cork midweek

Did Darren O' Dea make his debut for Reading yesterday and if he did how did he get on.

[Stuttgart88]

Yes, played CB I think and they drew 0-0.

Duff and Dunne given the motm in the FF in the 2 premiership games today.
