Played 90 minutes in Everton's first pre-season game against Austria Vienna, which they lost 2-1. Didn't have the best of games and his handball gave away a penalty, but interesting that Martinez paired him with both Distin and Jagielka. Gibson also played a part in the game and Martinez praised his influence as a senior player.

Next friendly is on Wednesday v Accrington Stanley, who are they?

I'm not sure but I believe Ian Rush said you can play for them if you drink lots of milk.

I drank a heap of milk and never got further than winning an U-12 mini world cup at Joey's Sallynoggin, so I can state that Rushy was blatantly lying.

no, he said if you don't drink lots of milk, you'll only be good enough to play for them

I am not sure if milk is actually very good for you, let's face it it is unnatural for adults to drink it for starters.
Also 75% of people can digest it properly ( the body never developed the ability to digest it beyond childhood for obvious reasons).
Also milk is bad for the bones (contrary to the advertising) those who drink the most milk have the weakest bones.
Obviously when farmers have slaughtered all the calves they ain't gonna pour the milk down the drain hence the heavy marketing.
Fair haired/skinned people tend to be able to digest it, blacks generally can't and don't drink it much.

It's "unnatural" for people to ingest lots of things. Like cooked food for example.

Milk is a great source of loads of nutrients, and if you're not lactose intolerant (and most northern Europeans aren't), it's a good thing to drink. Better than endless soft drinks anyway (I have friends who drink up to ten cans of coke a day. I have no idea how a human can do that!)

You're both being silly. It is "natural" for people to ingest anything the human digestive system is capable of processing, ie whatever they can find. Drinking cow's milk might be a bit parasitic but it's certainly not unnatural.

Also 75% of people can digest it properly ( the body never developed the ability to digest it beyond childhood for obvious reasons).
Can or can't? Most people from northern European and other agricultural stock can digest milk - it's quite a common and beneficial mutation.

Also milk is bad for the bones (contrary to the advertising) those who drink the most milk have the weakest bones.
No, people who have the weakest bones drink the most milk. Because milk is very good for the bones.

Obviously when farmers have slaughtered all the calves they ain't gonna pour the milk down the drain hence the heavy marketing.
They slaughter the calves because all they want is the milk.

It depends on your definition of "natural". If you take it to its conclusion, everything humans do is natural, because we're animals, and as such are part of the natural world (and I do realise that's not the way the word is normally used). That's not the point I was trying to make, however. Humans have been drinking animal milk for probably somewhere of the same order of time as we've been cooking our food. If drinking milk is unnatural, cooking our food is as well (and I don't think either is, I know people who are part of the "raw food" movement, and they're a bunch of wild-eyed crusties on a par with the anti-fluoridation and 9/11 Truther crowd)

Has been in the reserves far too long for his own good.Looks that way all right, with the likes of Jagielka, Distin, Heitinga and Alcaraz (and this young English buck Stones) all fighting for the centre back spot.

He's been included in their panel for their trip to the US so he's obviously in Martinez's thinking. How he performs there will probably dictate where he spends the first half of the season.

Shane wasn't captain for the day, was he? :pNo, Jamie McAllister wore the armband.

Of course, given the widespread reportage that it was Duffy who handled it and not McAllister, it is only logical for one to assume that Shane is the victim of a sinister Brit media agenda...:)

Levity aside, he could have been better for the second goal, but overall he defended well as part of a unit against tricky opposition, making some good blocks and clearances. Yeovil had very little hope of winning this tie.

He's been one of Yeovil's stand-out players this season since joining on loan. Their defence looks a lot more composed with him in the back four and the mistake against Burnley aside, he's been consistently impressive.

Even though they have his flag wrong, he currently tops the whoscored.com Championship player rating: Whoscored.

Duffy remains in Everton's thoughts - RT� (http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/english/2014/0213/504162-duffy-remains-in-evertons-thoughts/)

"It was a good test to stay here," said Duffy. "I could have gone to other places but I wanted to stay.
"I thought it would be a test for myself and the lads. I have never been in this situation in my career so I wanted to give it my best shot.
“If we come out of it, hopefully it will be good for my career. It’s different to anything I have ever been involved in. Hopefully when I look back at it at the end of career it will have stood me in good stead.
"We have got some important home games that will see where we are. We have had a rough time with a few tough games and we haven’t really got the squad to cover playing them (the likes of Southampton, Derby County and Nottingham Forest) every week.
"But we’re going to give it a good go and now we’re playing teams around us. We need to win these games, that’s what really matters."

I was just thinking about the strength in depth we have in central defence and about the players who could play a part realistically in WC 18 and/or Euro 20 campaigns if they make the requisite progress and realised that some of our best options in and around age 20; Duffy, Hoban, Mark O'Brien and Egan have all already been out with injury for approximately a year each!

Seriously. WTF is it about Irish players being so susceptible to injury?

There's a perception that we're unlucky or cursed in terms of injuries, but I'd be surprised if Irish players generally suffer a disproportionately high number of serious or career-threatening injuries compared to players from elsewhere. All players are susceptible to injury. Most will suffer injury at some point in their careers given the physical nature of the game. We just have less players than other bigger nations playing at the top level or upon whom we can pin our hopes. Inevitably, when our promising prospects do suffer injury, it has greater impact upon our general hopes and ambitions as we lack strength in depth to fill the vacuum. The loss is greater felt. Naturally, our attentions are already more focused on our own prospects anyway, so we'll certainly know about it when an Irish player otherwise seemingly destined for a bright future suffers injury. Plenty of talented English prospects (of whom we may have little or no knowledge) suffer career-ending injuries, for example, but there are plenty of other equally-talented English players to replace them. We just don't have the same numbers.

I agree that he should be in there ahead of one or two others. He's on loan from a PL club getting plenty of game time and could be at a PL club or big Championship team next season. All this talk about a thirty something being the only unpredictable call up and the school of thought that the likes of Grealish should be called up for experience. How about a happy middle ground? Take out any of Green, Quinn, Keogh or Pearce and give Eunan O'Kane and Shane Duffy a look.
