Keith Treacy could be leaving blackburn, I reckon a few seasons under John Hughes at Hibs would do him no harm.

[HarpoJoyce]

Proud Irish striker playing in the Kilmarnock v. Celtic game. Conor Sammon has come on after an hour for Taouil, with the Killies 1-0 up (match is on ESPN)

After Edit:

He did a Zamo step within a few minutes of coming on. Has nutmegged celtic players on at least two occasions and has won heading duels. It's all good.

Thanks Conor's Mum. Sounds like your boy done good.

(Sorry for your own trouble Mrs. Keane. Will you be using Prestwick or Glasgow Airport to visit Robbie.)

Imagine getting slagged off on a football messageboard for mentioning the performance of a footballer. Positive performance too.

[Junior]

Sammon was on for about 20-30 minutes.

Dangerously gave the ball away at the corner of his own box which led to a Celtic chance (perhaps a corner I cant quite recall)

Im all for all the Irish lads getting a mention on here but Connor Sammon has had far more influential games for Killie. It was a nice nutmeg on NGuemo right enough pity he followed it up with a $hite ball that went out for a goalkick, much to the annoyance of his strike partner Kyle.

Go on admit it....there was a tinge of wummery in your initial post - Either that or you are very easily pleased!!

Whats the story with Liam Kelly (19) at Kilmarnock.
Started the last couple of games and was impressive on Tuesday night.
A few sites have him listed as irish (touchline (http://soccer-stats.irishtimes.com/?Lang=0&CTID=16&CPID=17&pStr=Player&PLID=215270&TEID=210), soccerway (http://www.soccerway.com/players/liam-kelly/110348/), soccerbase (http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=51384)), but all other searches
show him as born in Scotland (not that thats a deterrance). Haven't seen him in any underage squads.

I checked wikipedia during the match the other night and it said he was called up to 1 under 19 squad but pulled out with an injury

Scored two at the weekend but in one match report it says that he is a former Scotland U-18 player which appears to be confirmed here (http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football_player_profile.cfm?page=453&playerID=136853&squadID=11)
And his wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Kelly_%28footballer_born_1990%29)page has been created/updated over the weekend

Paul Mulrooney on again tonight for Heats - Young Irsh lad ..

[Longfordian]

Gary Deegan nets for Coventry. "His first goal in senior football". I'm pretty sure his first goal in senior football was for us Jeff Stelling, not Coventry.

[Acornvilla]

graham gartland just scored aswell :)

Plenty of Irish interest at Hillborough today with, Potter, O'Connor starting and Nolan on the bench for Wednesday and Murphy, Delaney, O'Connor, Norris, Walters and Murphy starting for Ipswich(Quinn on the bench).

Full debut of 19 year old Shane O'Connor

[drummerboy]

Nice to see Murphy keeping a clean sheet for Ipswich.

[bwagner]

Devitt scores again ( 2 goals in 3 games ) for Grimsby - he is on loan fom Hull city.
O'Connor and the field again for Ipswich

[HarpoJoyce]

Gary Dicker (Brighton & Hove Albion) got a goal in a 2-0 win over Exeter City in League One.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/low/football/eng_div_2/8499063.stm
"Dicker then made the points safe in magnificent style with a thunderous 25-yard volley. "
Gus Poyet -
"I don't know if Gary Dicker has scored a better goal. The win today is especially for the fans. They were waiting for that."

[bwagner]

Joe Mason (Plymouth and under 19) scored his 1st league goal on Saturday

[Jacky08]

[TrapAPony]

Lads, anyone any idea if Liam Ridgewell of Birmingham has any Irish connections?

[HarpoJoyce]

Gary Dicker (Brighton and Hove Albion) should get his game against Colchester Utd. live on Skyports 1 k.o. 19:45
It's unlike Alan maybury of Colchester will get a game.
