Jimmy Keohane (Bristol City)

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy is starting for Bristol City against Cleveden Town today (Tuesday) together with Patrick Hoban of Mervue. Best of luck to them both.

[ForzaForth]

Ooops, now confirmed on the Bristol City website that they haven't received clearance to play. Get your finger out, Sepp.

[ForzaForth]

Although GUFCT has already reported it on the "transfers" thread, good to see that Jimmy and Patrick Hoban have now officially secured one year contracts at Bristol City and that Steve Coppell's departure did not affect their chance at the club.

We're mentioned on the City website as "Wessex United". :confused:

[Martinho II]

I was wondering too what they were referring to as Wessex UTD??

[cornflakes]

Was any fee involved in the transfer?

[ForzaForth]

Cornflakes, not sure what position is as regards a transfer fee.

Since moving to Bristol, Jimmy and Patrick have played in two reserve matches according to the Bristol City website. In the first, Bristol drew 1-1 with Cheltenham Town and in the second, they beat Aldershot 4-1 with Jimmy setting up the first goal with a freekick which was headed home by Kalifa Cisse. On the BC Supporters Club website, one onlooker at the second match said that one of the Irish lads was playing a blinder but as he couldn't tell them apart, I don't know which one it was.

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy came on at half-time and scored the second in a 6-0 win against Paulton Rovers last weekend. Patrick came on with 30 to go. Good reviews of Jimmy's efforts on the BC fans website.

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy played last 13 minutes of friendly for Bristol City reserves in one-nil loss against Swansea reserves on Thursday. No mention of Patrick Hoban in the match report but he may be injured.

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy played 90 minutes yesterday for Bristol City reserves in a 3-2 win against a Reading side including Noel Hunt who scored one of the Reading goals. Patrick Hoban came on for the last half an hour and scored one of the City goals.

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy and Patrick Hoban played for Bristol City against Forest Green Rovers in the Gloucestershire Senior Cup last night. Score was 3-3 after 90 minutes and due to fog went straight to penalties which City won 13-12. Both Jimmy and Patrick scored two penalties with Jimmy taking the winning one.

Wexford's Oscar Traynor side beat Kilkenny 2-0 on Saturday and now have to play Waterford for a place in the quarters.

Wexford Youths U17 lost to Shamrock Rovers in the Umbro U17 Cup on Sunday morning.

[ForzaForth]

Both Jimmy and Patrick today reported to be heading to local side, Clevedon Town, on a month's loan.

Would suggest that they are a long way off making the first team squad at present.

[ForzaForth]

Both Jimmy Keohane and Patrick Hoban have now returned to Bristol City from their loan to Clevedon Town.

Hopefully, they can feature in the first team squad before the end of the season.

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy and Patrick Hoban played for Bristol City Reserves in one-one draw against Birmingham City Reserves yesterday. Jimmy did the ninety with Patrick coming off with five to go.

First time, they've been mentioned on the Bristol website for a while.

[Sunny Jim]

Was any fee involved in the transfer?

I read recently (think it was in the Indo) that WYFC got an estimated €100,000 for him. Not bad at all if it's true.

Jimmy scored for the Bristol reserves last Wednesday:

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy Keohane and Patrick Hoban both played for Bristol City reserves in a 2-0 win over Exeter City yesterday.

Bristol City are planning a new U-21 team for next year (new U-21 league being planned) and are now giving full-time contracts to some of the U-18 squad. As Jimmy is only just 20, it hopefully means he has a good chance of being kept on.

[ForzaForth]

Bristol City's website has confirmed today that both Jimmy Keohane and Patrick Hoban will not be retained next year.

Probably not much of a surprise as they hadn't managed to break through to the first-team squad and several other younger players had been introduced to the first-team panel in recent weeks.

Would be great to see Jimmy back in the Youths team in our push up the table.

[Splurge]

Unfortunate that he went there just as Coppell was leaving, reminds me of Lyng signing for Preston just as Moyes was leaving. Would like to see him come home and play a few months with us, get his bearings and hopefully make a new go of it after the summer or next season.

[Sunny Jim]

He has signed for Exeter City according to Sky Sports News yesterday.

least then got his previous teams right.

I am happy for Jimmy to have a chance to play at a higher level

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy on the bench for Exeter for tonights Carling Cup tie against Liverpool. Live on Sky Sports.

[ForzaForth]

Just after coming on as a sub due to an injury! Exeter one down.

[ForzaForth]

Didn't control the first pass to him but has laid off the next two nicely, Got a corner as a result from the first. Seems to be playing advanced in midfield in a 4-5-1. Another pass laid off well.

[ForzaForth]

Overhit the next pass but then used two more well. Doesn't let the ball get away from him which is good to see.

[ForzaForth]

Also running around like a rabbit. Looks very fit. But hasn't put in a tackle yet.

[ForzaForth]

Nearly got on the end of a through-ball there.

[ForzaForth]

Half-time, one-nil Liverpool. Got to say, very impressed with Jimmy. Looks best user of the ball in the middle third for Exeter and holds the ball in very well. Looks very mobile. Not able to close down any Pool players on the ball, however. Overall, can see why Exeter have given him a contract.

[ForzaForth]

Two-nil Liverpool. Jimmy not really got on the ball so far in second half.

[ForzaForth]

Three nil now. One way traffic.

[ForzaForth]

JonJo Shelvey now on for Liverpool who has, of course, played against Jimmy before.:o

[ForzaForth]

Has now gone wide right with couple of good touches but wouldn't have the pace to take on any Liverpool full-back. 3-1 to Pool now after Exeter penalty.

[ForzaForth]

Final score, 3-1. Impressive by Jimmy in first half but died away in second as Liverpool's passing took over and Exeter were chasing shadows. Got brushed off the ball a few times and wouldn't yet be in the same league in regard to upper body strength, etc. But could well see him feature in Exeter's first team squad again.

Think Exeter were also interested in Gary Sheahan at one stage as they had him over once or twice.

[Youths4Ever]

Jimmy came on today as a sub v Charlton

http://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10436~58046,00.html

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy came on as an injury-time sub in Exeter's 2-2 draw away to Yeovil on Saturday. Think it's his second League appearance.

[Youths4Ever]

Scored in mid week game for the reserves but he does not seem to be getting into first team squad as regularly as he was. Could be interesting to see what the future holds?

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy now appears to have been let go by Exeter. Probably not much of a surprise as he hasn't featured at all recently in the first team panel. The Exeter website also mentions Kwame Ampadu as the U18 coach at Exeter and that Steve Perryman has had heart surgery in last few days.

I wonder will he stay in England or back into the LOI????

[ForzaForth]

Exeter City website today (Monday) now reporting that discussions are ongoing with Jimmy Keohane in relation to next year. John O'Flynn stated to be in same position.

[ForzaForth]

Exeter City website has confirmed that Jimmy Keohane has got another year's contract with the club for next season in Division II. Needs to break into the team and keep a place on a regular basis, I think.

[Youths4Ever]

Jimmy played I belive four games pre season scored in three and has been on the bench for the last three games (I think) hopefully he will start to get some game time

[Youths4Ever]

Jimmy played last night and supplied three assists. Lets hope it the start of things to come

[ForzaForth]

First league goal for Jimmy today in 2-1 win by Exeter away to York. Great reports of his recent performances on the Exeter fans forum.

[Youths4Ever]

Jimmy got the man of the match award on Monday night despite the fact that Exeter lost the game 1-0. Hope his current run keeps up

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy starting today for Exeter away to Wimbledon. First time he's got a start for a while.

[ForzaForth]

Jimmy retains his place in the starting XI in Exeter's home match against Oxford tonight

[OldNassau]

Jimmy played for the full 90 minutes in a 0-0 draw. Second full 90 minutes. Hope he keeps his place. Gow seems to be the player which he usually loses out to.

[OldNassau]

Jimmy started his third game in a row against Burton Albion today. Currently drawing 1-1.

[OldNassau]

Jimmy on the scoresheet today for Exeter.

[ForzaForth]

Goal from Jimmy today in his first start for ages. Exeter now two up in match they need to win to secure their place in Division 2.

[ForzaForth]

Another goal from Jimmy yesterday in win over Hartlepool. Jimmy "oozed class" according to a poster on the Exeter website!
