Irish Abroad 2009/2010

[Manc Irish Wolf]

Nice one Tets.

Reading about the Wolves and come across a couple of bits about lads who could be worth keeping an eye out for in future:

Eoin Wearen at West Ham - Only 16 put already been promoted to the reserve team with 2 substitute appearances in 3 games for the reserves, as well as being one of only 6 players who have been ever present in the 3 Under-18 games this season. Reserves drew 0-0 with Wolves with Wearen seemingly making an impression against a midfield with David Jones and Andrew Surman in:

82 mins - Eoin Wearen is battling well in midfield. The 16-year-old already has a real physical presence and is giving as good as he is getting.

Mark Connolly at Bolton (formerly Wolves) - appears that Bolton have stole one of our young players, obviously recommended by their assistant manager (and ex-wolves academy boss) Chris Evans. Report reckons that the deal could rise to a £1 million and he is being touted for an inclusion in the first team this season. I know that he was highly rated, however not as highly as our Youth Team Captain John Dunleavy who also plays centre-back and should be higher up the ranks.

I was at The Ricoh last night for Coventry vs Sheff United (don’t ask). 3-2 Coventry.

Quality facility.

Best was a handful. Scored a great goal, chesting down a long ball and volleying it past the keeper. Only a minute earlier he took down a similar long ball expertly. The guy was a real handful, an absolute beast of a player. Took wrong option a few times but it looks like he’s finally delivering.

Clinton scored a good goal with his left foot and played well against a big strong defence. Totally selfless attitude, great team player and covered the whole pitch all night.

Westwood looked good: made two one-on-one saves from Stephen Quinn (who’ll be disappointed not to score with each), great long kick, took high balls well but I’d say he was at fault for Sheff United’s second goal, a hard shot straight at his ribs which he parried instead of collected. The parry was weak and fell straight to a forward who scored from 8 yards.

Sheff United played a brutal, attritional style of football. Quinn rarely had any time on the ball. Missed two chances as mentioned above but played the pass of the match, crossfield from the right to Keith Treacy. Treacy was largely anonymous. He took a few decent corners but that was about it. Both Quinn & Treacy were subbed with 20 mins or so to go.

What a game that was, Man CIty leaking 4 goals, seems they are missing a top class centre half :D


Also Doyle gets a goal for Wolves who are 2:1 up.

[SkStu]

how did baldy traitor play by the way? I see he played the full 96 :D

Currently watching Keane against Chelsea. I hate chelsea but i prefer them winning games by the 70th minute than scoring last gasp winners...

His best moment of the match was letting the ball go by him for Tevez, who subsequently hit the post.
In the second half he barely touched the ball as United enjoyed the majority of possession which was understandable. He did however have a few stray passes.
Not his best game... I hope he never gets the opportunity to don the green jersey again after those quotes.

[NeilMcD]

I love the way city are giving out about the extra time as if they could not take advantage of the extra time too. Also a goal and a sub in extra time can come to about 2 minutes and there was meant to be a min of 4 mins. So they really have no complaints.

Given was great, O Shea was ok although could have done better for Bellamys 2nd goal. Stephen Manchester was rubbish, He was probably thinking about his grannys or Mr Miyagi.

James Shea on the bench for Arsenal tonight is apparently Irish.. According to Wikipedia anyway.

According to this - http://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/arsenal-agree-deal-for-goalkeeper-sean-mcdermott/ - he's from Islington

The Islington-born ‘keeper’s scholarship expires in the summer
Not definitive, I know, but there's no mention of him on the fai site either, surely any player in the Arsenal set up would be a shoe-in for the Ireland side?

[dr_peepee]

I would have thought so too.. Didn't find much else. That's why I stuck the Wiki disclaimer in. Didn't see him committed to England either though...

goal for Billy Clarke for Blackpool against Stoke to put em 2 up.

"Billy Clarke heads in from a David Vaughan cross. Unbelievable."

[irishfan86]

Ian Harte scored from the penalty spot against Portsmouth in the Carling Cup as Carlisle lost 3-1, and Jon Macken scored for Barnsley as they defeated Burnley 3-2.

[bwagner]

James Shea of arsenal ??? a goal keeper , was on the bench , does anybody know if he is eligible?

I know sean mc dermott and conor henderson are but they did not make the bench. probably because they are not african of of such heritage.

"a solo run and chip by Paddy McCourt " (goal)

"McCourt and Robson were impressive in midfield for the visitors"

"McCourt added the third with a superb solo effort, when he picked up the ball on the halfway line and finished his run with a clever chip for the goal of the tie."

more on McCourt.


And Grant heaped praise on Northern Irishman McCourt, who has struggled to make an impact since arriving from Derry City over a year ago.

"He's a wonderful talent. He can carve chances out for others and himself," said Grant.

"People always question what he hasn't got, but what he has got is a tremendous ability to get by players.

"There's not many people like him. Hopefully, he'll have a big part to play with the talent he has.

"If he doesn't, he should be asking questions of himself.

With McGeady's immediate involvement in the team uncertain, Grant did not rule out a more substantial role for McCourt in the important forthcoming matches against Rapid Vienna and Rangers.

"He could play against anybody. It's what he does sometimes off the ball that he maybe has to add to the game," said Grant.


McCourt scored his first goal for Celtic against Falkirk
"But, when he has the ball at his feet, anything's possible."

Plenty of Irish with goals today: Robbie (4), JO'S, SSL, Clinton, Leon Best was credited with Coventry's equaliser I think. That's what I remember, might have been others too.

Nothing official yet, but it looks like Keith Treacy could miss the rest of the season with a knee injury:

Sad news alright. Keith had done reasonably well for Sheffield United this season. Hopefully he makes a full recovery. Think this lad has potential to be a full international in the future.

Thanks for that - assume in the Wolves team that Malone, Rooney and Ismail are some of ours!

Thanks for that - assume in the Wolves team that Malone, Rooney and Ismail are some of ours!

Unfortunately not (surprising with a name like Seamus Ismail) - although Malone could be worth an enquiry , if Mick hasn't already, as he's a top left back prospect for us.

Can read too much into it though, as I made the same mistake with Chelsea's sub Billy Clifford who captains the youth team, who is obviously no relation to Conor as he qualifies for Sierra Leone.
