[Stuttgart88]

Given and Dunne still on extended holidays due to playing in the qualifiersHope they texted Stephen Ireland from the beach. Play for Ireland, get longer holidays. It'd work for me.

Gunning, Doran, Andrews, Treacy and Judge played for blackburn tonight in a 4-0 win at Cambridge:

He should have been rested for the qualifiers...................and so should Duff ;)

[Stuttgart88]

Robbie Elliott, who played for the Under-19's before (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/boysingreen/news.asp?n=10046), played the full game in goal for Charlton against us tonight.

Darren Randolph played the full game in goal for them against Wexford the other night.

[eirebhoy]

Doran has scored for Blackburn against Roma to make it 2-2.

[eirebhoy]

McShane makes it 3-0 for Sunderland against Darlington.

/ and O'Donovan makes it 4. McShane went off injured after scoring. Reid started in a 5 man midfield. His shot was deflected in for the 1st goal and he set up the 2nd.

Stokes and Meyler came on at half time.

saw the goals on Sky Sports News.
McShane's was a header from a corner, O'Donovan raced on to a slack back pass, took the ball past the keeper and finished from a tight angle

[eirebhoy]

I'm curious as to how Blackburn lined up in the 2nd half.

ROVERS 2nd HALF: Brown; Jacobsen Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Warnock; Dunn, Doran, Judge, Treacy; McCarthy, Diouf

Obviously Dunn played central midfield but one of the 3 Irish must have played beside him. Any idea's?

[tetsujin1979]

the semi-colon's in the line up suggest it was something like


Brown
Jacobsen Khizanishvili Nelsen Warnock
Dunn Doran Judge Treacy
McCarthy Diouf

[tetsujin1979]

Robbie Keane scored the opener for Spurs against Bournemouth

<EDIT>

finished 3-0 to Spurs, Defoe played Keane through for the goal. Maybe they can play together?

Shane Duffy and Séamus Coleman played for Everton today against Rochdale. Duffy even scored!
http://www.evertonfc.com/match/report/0809/rochdale-v-everton.html

Both players played the full 90 minutes versus Bury last week also, drawing praise from several quarters, particularly Coleman who was awarded with man of the match: http://www.evertonfc.com/match/report/0809/bury-v-everton.html?t=4

O'Shea starts for ManUnited VS FC Seoul, Gibson on the bench
Neville's been sent back from with an injury, so O'Shea should start the season at right back

Wes Brown's return to fitness might pose a threat as well. The young Brazilian twins are snapping at his heels too.

O'Dea and Flood start for Celtic against Spurs on Sky Sports 1. McCourt too for those interested.

[tetsujin1979]

wonder how many of that Celtic side will play VS Dinamo on wednesday?

[Razors left peg]

O Dea captain too... great to see

[tetsujin1979]

O'Dea had the honour of lifting the trophy after the 2-0 win. According to the commentator, it was designed by a 13 year old who won a competition with Match magazine.
The handle is inspired by the Wembley Arch

Stokes, Reid and Murphy all on the bench for Sunderland's game VS Atletico Madrid

[eirebhoy]

O'Dea was immense. MOTM by far. I'd say Flood was next best, very good game. I like Flood and think he'll break into the first team this season.

[zackmorris]

Kurtis Byrne came on as a sub in the Hibs v Glentoran game.

[Philly]

Chris McCann started for Burnley v. Portland Timbers, with the game finishing 2-2.

Do you think all three Irish lads will be in for Celtic on Wednesday? That would be fantastic.

McGeady is a cert to start, after being rested against Spurs. I'd say Flood and O'Dea will be in the squad, but more likely to be substitutes.

Shane Supple, Shane O'Connor, Alex Bruce and Colin Healy all started for Ipswich, and Owen Garvan, Jonathan Walters and David Norris were all introduced in the second half in their 2-1 loss to Charlton: http://www.itfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10272~1736291,00.html
According to the report, O'Connor played left full

John O Shea captain for United against Boca this evening

[Razors left peg]

Darron Gibson started against Bayern

Marc Wilson played the full game at centre back as Pompey went down 2 nil to Vitoria in the City of Guimaraes Trophy.

[Manc Irish Wolf]

Shane Lowry used as Sub against Porto in the Peace Cup coming on for Carew after 64 minutes. Might be in a position to play Juventus in the final.

Not sure what position he is. Read that he's a left back, but he's down as a midfielder on the Villa website. Big enough at 6ft 1. We could do with both a left back and a defensive midfielder coming through - so, hopefuly he'll get a few more opportunities this season - especially as Villa are hardly blessed in either position.

I think he's a centre back, at least thats where he has played in the irish underage setup. With only cuellas and davies ahead of him(am i forgetting someone), he'll start the season on the bench at least. O'Neills comments about him are hopeful but sees him as one for the future rather than the present

[eirebhoy]

O'Dea messed up for Sunderland's goal. Tried to control the high ball instead of just getting rid of it and let Richardson in.

Reid played well. Was allowed drift about the pitch. Had a great shot turned over for a corner and set up the 2nd goal with a right footed cross.

Liam Lawrence scored a heavily deflected effort against Derby (http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/3094275/)

Scott Davies scored a free kick against Chelsea (http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/3093711/) after Shane Long was brought down. Should be a good season for Davies.

nice run from Long there to win the free kick too.

[Hunty's Flatcap]

Does anyone know much of the young Jamie Devitt at Hull? He volunteered himself for the first penalty in the Asia tournament the other day. Looks a decent player and is already in the U-19's. There was also a lad called Tom Cairney in their squad. I can't seem to find any information on him though.

Robbie Brady captained Man Utd to the Milk Cup, scoring five goals along
the way and apparently was named player of the tournament.

His goal is around 3:45.

Everyone should keep an eye on this kid - he could be a brilliant player!
He can play through the middle and on the left, and when he becomes more established he will probably replace Duff in the national side.

A star in the making!
