Irish Abroad 2011/2012

[theworm2345]

Can't believe its time for a new thread already.

Lee Trundle just scored for Neath against Aalesund in the Europa League. I expect Richie Partridge will be in action for The New Saints against Cliftonville later on as well as possibly Duffer and Stephen Kelly against Runavik.

EDIT: Partridge on the bench for TNS.

[theworm2345]

Duffer scores!

[Paddy Garcia]

He should be resting.

[theworm2345]

He should be resting.
I don't know, these kinds of matches should be harmless for the most part...he did go 90 minutes though which probably wasn't necessary. Kelly was an unused sub in their match, Partridge came on in the 72nd for TNS in a 1-1 draw, and Trundle played the full 90 (his side ended up losing 4-1)

[theworm2345]

Shane Robinson scored for FC Haka today in a 3-1 win.

[theworm2345]

Duffer and Stephen Kelly both started for Fulham against Runavik, Duffer came off after 86 minutes and Fulham went through after a nil all draw

Lee Trundle played 90 minutes for Neath as they lost 2-0 an went out of the Europa League.

Richie Partridge started and played 64 minutes today for TNS against Cliftonville, TNS won 1-0 and went through

[theworm2345]

Richie Foran scored for Caley Thistle in a preseason match against Livingston today, ended 1-1.

[drummerboy]

Cillian Sheridan scored for Hibs yesterday.

[theworm2345]

Richie Foran scored again in a 4-2 win for ICT over Yeovil today

[theworm2345]

David Connolly scored twice against FC Biel in Southampton's first preseason game yesterday (ended 3-3)...with two headers :D

Call him up tomorrow Trap. Expect Andy Reid sized levels of vitriol if he's ignored...

[theworm2345]

Jon Daly, Willo Flood, and Sean Dillon all played 90 minutes for Dundee United against Slask Wroclaw in the Europa League today, they lost 1-0 away.

Call him up tomorrow Trap. Expect Andy Reid sized levels of vitriol if he's ignored...
Surely there would be riots in the streets

[theworm2345]

Richie Partridge started and went 72 minutes in TNS's 1-3 home loss to FC Midtjylland in the Europa League

Duffer played the full match in Fulham's 3-1 away win over Crusaders, Stephen Kelly was an unused sub

Duff had the assist for Fulham's second, Zamora nodding home from a corner

[tommy_c12000]

I was disappointed not to see Conor Henderson in Arsenal's 23 man touring party. Thought he wud get some serious pre-season game time. Hopefully he'll get a good loan move this season

he has a twitter account here - https://twitter.com/#!/Henderson_91 - if you want to ask him

[ifk101]

Duff looked very sharp against Crusaders last night. Assist from a corner and unlucky not to get on the score sheet.

[tommy_c12000]

Ya I follow him already on Twitter. I tried to knock a bit of banter out of Meyler already but went down like a lead balloon. Think I'll hold off this time around and play the Wenger voyeur role, and just observe. Once bitten twice shy and all that . . .

[CraftyToePoke]

Lee Frecklington comes off the transfer list at Peterborough. Spoke to a couple of season ticket holders at a P'boro game last season and the really rate him but he doesnt stay fit for long enough periods.

[theworm2345]

Noel Hunt hit a hat trick and Shane Long added one in Reading's 7-0 victory over Slovenian side FK Dravograd. Harte and Tabb also played in the match.

[theworm2345]

Doyler scored in Wolves' 2-1 loss to Crewe today

Alex Bruce scored for Leeds in their...oh wait

[liamoo11]

Ryan connolly and o brien played for derby today.

[Closed Account]

Brendan Rodgers looks set to give Tom Butler a chance at Swansea, despite hardly ever seeing him play because of injury
http://www.swansea.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=247515

He's taken the long road back to the Premier League. Made his last of 19 appearances in 2003.

[theworm2345]

Adam Rooney scored for Birmingham against Cork City

[TrapAPony]

Keith Andrews scored for Blackburn in a 2-1 win away to Accrington Stanley

[theworm2345]

Just saw on ESPNews that Folan scored in MLS (assuming there is no other Folan)

[tommy_c12000]

Doyler scored in Wolves' 2-1 loss to Crewe today

Just saw Doyle's goal. It was an absolute peach. He showed great strength and balance to hold off a defende about 7/8 yards outside the box, then he planted it into the top right corner with his left foot. He then turned around and nonchalantly strolled back to the half way line as if he does it week in and week out

[tommy_c12000]

The goal has been posted up here:

Gunning played for blackburn yesterday

[theworm2345]

Alan Lee scored for Huddersfield in their 2-1 win over Hamilton

[Irwin3]

Gibson played the 90 mins as he captained Utd reserves to a 2-1 defeat against Shrewsbury.
http://www.manutd.com/en/Players-And-Staff/Reserves/Reserves-News/2011/Jul/reserves-friendly-v-shrewsbury.aspx

- Utd goalkeeping coach Alan Fettis played the 90 mins!

[SkStu]

from BBC:


2206: FOOTBALL - Winger Hogan Ephraim hit a hat-trick as QPR began their pre-season preparations with a 13-0 rout of Tavistock.

[theworm2345]

Jon Macken scored for Walsall in their 2-3 loss to Wolves

Jay O'Shea scored a penalty (which he won) in MK Dons' 2-1 victory over Bangor

[theworm2345]

Jon Walters and Glenn Whelan scored in Stoke's 6-0 victory over Newcastle Town (Jermaine Pennant also scored)

Anthony Stokes scored the only goal in Celtic's win over Cardiff

Much like with Pennant (and to some degree Stokes and Walters), this may be clutching at straws but Luke Chambers and Lewis McGugan both scored for Nottingham Forest in their 2-1 victory over Northampton

[Yard of Pace]

Another Euro goal for Duffer.

[theworm2345]

Another Euro goal for Duffer.
Jon Daly got one as well (a penalty)

[tetsujin1979]

Mark Connolly has made his first team debut for Bolton on their pre season tour of the States
Came on VS FC Tampa Bay for his debut: http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1004~2393134,00.html
another short run out against Houston: http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1004~2397928,00.html


and there's a video on Bolton's site with Connolly about the Tampa game: http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1004~2393139,00.html

[tetsujin1979]

Just working on updating the site for the new season, hoping someone can help me with the following
Andrew Callaghan, once of Millwall, can't find anything about him
Is Rob Kiernan still with Watford or has he moved on?
David Bevan was with Walsall at the end of last season, but he's not in the squad list on wikipedia, is he still there?

Kiernan is a free agent after rejecting a contract with Watford and it was said Wigan were looking at him.
David Bevan has left Walsall though he too was apparently offered a contract.
Haven't heard Callaghan's name in a long time, last I can remember he was at Cray Wanderers (I think, maybe Crawley) a few years ago

[tetsujin1979]

Cheers worm, last I can find on Callaghan is a trial with Exeter from 2008


Patrick Cregg played in the Cosmos Copa NYC tournament* last week as an "overseas draftee": http://irishecho.com/?p=65720

He cited in particular 25-year-old Patrick Cregg, one of three “overseas” draftees allowed, who began his career with a handful of appearances with Arsenal in the league cup in 2004-2005. The Dubliner Cregg has since played 144 games in the Scottish Premier League for Falkirk, Hibernian and lately St. Mirren and has won Under-19 and Under-21 honors for Ireland.

“You could see he was a class above in terms of his technical ability, his awareness,” said the Ireland boss. “And as the tournament goes on, he will improve.

“A lot of MLS [Major League Soccer] teams are watching him during this tournament,” added Grogan, whose own Manchester United career was cut short by injury<EDIT>

Ireland went out in the quarter finals, losing 3-1 to Mexico with Cregg grabbing the goal: http://cosmoscopa.com/news/quarterfinal-recap

According to this - http://www.mls-rumors.net/18208/2011/07/incoming-irish-midfielder-patrick-cregg-to-fc-dallas - he could be moving to FC Dallas

Is David Elebert still at Hamilton Academical?
He's not in the squad list on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_Academical_F.C.#Current_squad - and, bizarrely, there's no squad list on the Accie's official site - http://www.acciesfc.co.uk/

Interesting that Haiti got beat so bad, they had quite a few full internationals in that team. Perhaps you should offer your services to those folks Tets, that site is atrocious.

David Elebert was released, one poster on a Accies forum said he's off to Cyprus (no idea about that though his teammate Mickael Antoine-Curier did just move to Cyprus).

[tetsujin1979]

ok, all done, site updated with all players and clubs (I think): http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/CompetitionDetails
as always, if you notice any player missing, or at the wrong club, let me know and I'll update it as soon as I can

[AlaskaFox]

Conor Henderson stretchered off for Arsenal. Looks like an ankle injury.

Bit better quality here.


Great prospect, he has some naem to live up to.


On a side note, this threads title is a bit stupid given as by and large 95% of the Irish in the forum are abroad.


I would make more sense to have an Irish not abroad thread1!

Also I just realise he has two names to live up to, Robbie Keane and Liam Brady!!

[tetsujin1979]

U19 player Graham Burke impressed McLeish against Walsall: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~2398892,00.html
