Much point in having an ex-LOI players in the Premiership thread, or is it all covered in Ireland forum?
Connor Sammon on for Wigan v Norwich now
Stephen Ward's scored for Wolves:
Michel Salgado hacks Matt Jarvis down in the box for a definite penalty - but Paul Robinson pulls off a fine stop to push Kevin Doyle's penalty away from goal. From that save, however, the ball is returned into the area with interest and Stephen Ward latches on to a half clearance with a slap volley into the corner. Advantage Wolves.
Wes Hoolahan's gone and done it for Norwich.
This afternoon is shaping up to have it all - we now have a keeper gaff to add to the melting pot. Steve Morison gets clear down the Wigan left but his cross looks to have been claimed by Latics keeper Ali Al Habsi, only for the ball to slip out of his hands, allowing Wes Hoolahan to slam home.

Wes Hoolahan should've made his Premiership debut 6/7 years ago
Better late than ever. Always a class act
Noel Hunt grabbed Readings opener today.

Completely agree, I'm surprised it's taken this long for him to get there.

Yeah, no point in keeping it restricted to English premiership. We've had an exLOI thread before...
Keith Fahey scored for Birmingham today too

Brighton forum (http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?210272-Dicker-MOM) raving about him afterwards, though against that saying that he was poor to average in the first game. But it'll take a bit of time for him to step up to the new level I'm sure. Two ex-Students in the Premier next season? :eek:
Edit - my favourite quote -
Basically Gary Dicker is one the classiest and most intelligent players to have ever worn the stripes. He has had, by his standards, an average start to the season but I knew that he is so good it will just be a case of getting upto speed with Championship football especially as he has not played at this level before.
Go on Gaz! And in Ireland's weakest position too... :p

Some should change the thread title to Ex-LoI abroad or something so...
It good to see players go on from the league and do well in their careers. Just a shame Ireland's clubs didn't bet more money for some of the talent that left on the cheap.

True but Mark will probably make the bench a few times this season and just thought they should be added to the list so people could watch their progress.
Blue Bear
15/08/2011, 12:03 PM
Yeah he did very well on the pre-season tour for Bolton and I really hope he can make a breakthrough this season. Funny enough he never actually played for Monaghan United first team so technically he's not a LOI player
Magicme
15/08/2011, 12:16 PM
He did in a friendly though and was about to break into the senior team when he got sold on.
Blue Bear
15/08/2011, 12:21 PM
Well a friendly doesn't make him a LOI player, but I really hope he does well this year.

Theres a chap thatw as with Cork...Long, think he joiend Burnley, hes out on loan at a league 1 or 2 side.

Well if i'm honest, i meant to put in Drogheda as well as Dundalk. Easy mistake to make but i promise i'll keep up to your standards when doing a little research, into a personal interest, in the future.

Right lads, i think thats it up to date. Think there is still a few more out there, but i'll have to leave the list with you because i don't be on here enough to edit it. Just thought i share the info with you, as i've a keen interest as well. Anyone can feel free to take the list and copy it and edit it as they please but it probably makes sense for one person to do it, with others helping with suggestions, because it might get messy

Shaunny played for Finn Harps, too! I think that's it, then - well, Home Farm and maybe his school team in Portmarnock.... Now, I could have sworn there was one other team that he played for??
Ah but you were only putting in the teams he was 'most known for'.

Exactly, but you're obviously a bit upset i didn't write your defunct franchise on the list. Well i didn't put Dublin City, Kilkenny City, St Francis, Kildare County etc on the list either. For one good reason, you are no longer relevent.

Nah, not upset. Why would I be upset? Fingal are barely cold in the grave and I'm spending these days in Tolka park - a man with no soul, eh? A human franchise, if you will. In purely quantitative terms, Sporting F were Williams' main club, for the purposes of the stats it distorts the facts to pretend otherwise.

He struggles largely to keep his starting spot in the SPL how in gods name would he get into the Liverpool team
ye cant help but love him as a player but I can't see it happening myself and if he does make it he no doubt has the technical ability for it but if hes good enough for Liverpool why hasn't he been consistently tearing apart the bog standard defences he faces week in week out in Scotland?

Liam Kearney's now with this gang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandenong_Thunder_SC); no idea how he's getting on for them.
Padraig Amond . . . a new Portuguese season has kicked off but with Amond having spent a bit of time on trial at Sheffield Wednesday recently it seems he might not be a big part of the club's plan this year.
