List of all Irish players abroad

[Paddy Garcia]

Nope - he's just joined Preston North End. I can't find any reference other than on here to the fact that he's Irish-qualified. Can anyone else find anything to this effect?

Apparently he trained with the Under 21's, though on this forum I know!

Yeah! I remember reading about him training with us alright. Watch this space I suppose.

Also Glenn Cronin has joined Chester City from exeter.

Some thoughts on Colin Healy's performance in yesterdays 1-1 friendly draw with Boston

From the Match Report....." The third of today's trialists, Colin Healy, had a quiet and unassuming match on the whole, but having his moments notably when he picked up a ball from Moore and crossed well only for Skard to waste the effort."

From a poster on an Ipswich message board...."Colin Healy looked an interesting prospect for us nothing flashy but he did the simple things well and generally didn't lose the ball."

Fingers crossed for the lad.

[Paddy Garcia]

Jay Tabb scores on his debut for Coventry & Kevin Thornton is sent off in a 1:1 draw against Portland.

[Stuttgart88]

Fingers crossed for the lad.

Live in the now, man

Glen Cronin - your old favourite!

Paddy McCarthy,Alan Maybury and Alan Sheehan all played the first 45 for leicester in their first pre-season game v boston last night.leicester played different sides in each half in a 4-1 win, Maybury was played on the right of midfield where he finished last season with McCarthy and Sheehan playing at c.b. and l.b. respectively.

Stephen Elliott is fit and well and looking forward to the new season, after a succession of injuries which curtailed his progress last season.

[tetsujin1979]

the squad numbers at man city have been released, Stephen Ireland has taken the number 7 jersey, Richard Dunne is 22 (AFAIR the same number he had last season) and Willo Flood is waay down the list at 44. Not really sure what to make of that, as he is beside Micah Richards and Ishamel Miller (remember that name). None of the Irish participants in the FA Youth Cup final have first team numbers, but several are reserved, so they might get a run out at some point this season

They just signed a kid from watford club (london born) called joe o ' caoilleal or sumthing i just heard also norwich are looking to take on some of arsenals youth this year....maybe stokes or kelly?

[drummerboy]

Heard a rumour, about a week ago, that Stokes could be moved on. I found it hard too believe, though.

[SaucyJack]

would be a good loan(season-long preferably) move for Stokes, don't know how Kelly is rated though.

[youngirish]

Kelly was released by Arsenal. He's not meant to be up to much.

You'll have to do better than that bwagner - at least learn how to spell the man's name... it's Joe O'Cearuill. Here's what Arseblog said about him at the end of last season:

There’s an interesting player called Joseph O’Cearuill playing for us in the centre of defence. He was let go by Watford on the night our reserves played them at Barnet but a watching Arsene Wenger was so impressed he invited him to play for us. He’s done well in two games since and may well earn himself a deal which just goes to show you football is a funny old game. Not good enough for Watford then all of a sudden you’re playing alongside Ashley Cole and Theo Walcott. Good luck to him, I hope he does well.

That'll do. Let's hope he declares quickly if he's any good.

I see Alan O'Brien came on for Newcastle today in the Inter-Toto cup and nearly scored with the last kick of the game. Hopefully he'll get more of a look-in this season.

[Paddy Garcia]

Lawrence and Murphy scored for Sunderland in a 3-0 win over Forest Green. Apparently the Lawrence goal was fantastic.

Man U want to off-load Liam Miller asap. Ferguson wants rid of him before the transfer window closes.

[OwlsFan]

Joe O’Cearuill - must be Irish even though born in London ??. Just signed from Watford by Arsenal:

Wes Hoolahan has gone on a trial to League 1 side Blackpool

Oh how the mighty have fallen

Man U want to off-load Liam Miller asap. Ferguson wants rid of him before the transfer window closes.

From this morning's Guardian gossip column:

We ought to mention that Sheffield United are planning a bid for Liam Miller - you know, the new-Roy-Keane-except-he's-half-the-size-and-a-bit-rubbish.
