Irish Abroad 2011/2012

Shoulder injury, they are concerned over whether or not he'll be able to play this coming Wednesday which would suggest its not serious.

There he is, the main goy! Mr Dependable knew you'd come through for me! Good to hear, if it's touch and go for wed, it's nothing serious. Gotta go taxi beeping the horn. Cheers

O'Driscoll to Portsmouth as manager would be a good move for him. Was impressed with the work he did at Doncaster.

did we ever get to the bottom of Adam Maher's eligibility? Scored a peach of a goal at the weekend for AZ ALkmaar - cant find the vid.

100% commited to the Dutch at the moment. And there's no Irish blood in him anyway. He's Maroccan


Here's the goal: http://eredivisielive.nl/video/29702...---az-0-1.html

stupid Morrocan names being similar to Irish names... tsk!

Kieron Cadogan at Crystal Palace, a winger with Irish roots has been linked with a move to Bournemouth.

Gary Dicker's Brighton vs Joey O'Brien's West Ham about to start, should be a good battle of two of The Championship's promotion contenders...both Dicker and O'Brien are starting as is Marcos Painter for Brighton (not to mention West Ham's "faux Irish" central midfield of Nolan and Noble). Not much has been said about Painter but he regularly plays the 90 for the Seagulls.

Game held up for bad injury to Dicker.

Yeah, Dicker has a fractured fibula and is out for 12 to 14 weeks. Was due to have an op last week. Havent heard any more since.
A real shame for him for obvious reasons, but also because he's been gradually adjusting to life at the higher level. I still had my doubts about him ever being international standard, but it would have been interesting for him to get a full season under his belt and then see how he started next year (assuming we stay up!).

Marcos Painter was great for us last year. Very very solid and organised. At Championship level his complete lack of pace is potentially the major problem - considered a major issue at his previous clubs too - and i'd have to agree that it's been noticeable so far this season. Again, not sure he's got the ability to go much higher. Picked up an injury (not sure how bad) a week ago and didnt play on Sunday.

Finally got the majority of my broadband issues sorted out and I did a massive update of the Irish Abroad site last night - http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/
Think all the appearance stats are up to date, and next up is to collate the monthly stats for September and October

It must be some kind of Ferdinand family tradition to sign for West Ham.

Tweeps did you know @FraizerCampbell can play for Ireland, who thinks he should join the Boys in Green?

[Irwin3]

@FraizerCampbell Fraizer Campbell
@DavidMeyler I knew you would be dying to go for it! Ireland will batter these about 4 nil! You at the game

Some prediction. Shame about Campbell's injuries. Could have been useful...

[TrapAPony]

Well what do we have here.

mrjamieohara Jamie o'hara
Great result for ireland buzzing for the lads they deserve it well done boys

[liamoo11]

In fairness o hara is a top man. he was very open in saying he feels English and only wants to play for them but he has lots of irish family and obviously loads of Irish lads at wolves. Well said Mr o Hara

[Charlie Darwin]

I'd have thought by "the lads" he meant all his Wolves mates, plus he's half-Irish so it obviously means something to him. The English are generally quite supportive of us anyway. We just don't repay the favour

Cheers Tets.

Brian Murphy(QPR), John Egan(Sunderland) and Darren O'Dea(Leeds) are missing from the live feed and a judgement call on Eunan O'Kane who just scored two for Torquay.

[tetsujin1979]

cool, thanks. I've added Egan in. The Leeds game is over, but O'Dea will appear in future.
You sure about Brian Murphy? Sky Sports don't have him on the bench for QPR on the scorecentre
