Bad news for Elliott and Murphy if what I hear is true...Dwight Yorke to Sunderland (maybe good for Elliott, but not for Murphy)

[tetsujin1979]

haven't seen it posted here,

Cillian Sheridan scored twice for Celtic's reserves last week against Hibs for Celtic's U-19's as the won 3-1. Paul Skinner played in goals for the Bhoys.

McGeady article, well worth a read:

[theworm2345]

David Connolly and Liam Miller --> Sunderland

[drummerboy]

Worrlying times for Stephen Elliot and Murphy with Connolly and Dwight Yorke bound to command starting places in Roy Keane's Sunderland team.

[tetsujin1979]

Murphy more than Elliott I think, and Yorke played the holding role in the World Cup, so it's not clear yet where he'll play at Sunderland

[dr_peepee]

Even still. Can't see Connolly and Elliots starting many games together. A very "Diminutive" forward pairing to say the least..

[eirebhoy]

Jim O'Brien scored 2 for Celtic's reserves today against Inverness, they won 2-0. He partnered Diarmuid O'Carroll up front with O'Dea at the back.

[CraftyToePoke]

Alan Sheehan has been loaned to Mansfield for a month.

[theworm2345]

Looks like the Sunderland fans agree with me

[FootballsKing]

anthony stokes is in line to make his falkirk debut tomorrow against rangers at ibrox. probably not ideal circumstances for a young irish catholic to be making his debut!

[eirebhoy]

It seems Darren O'Dea is now Celtic reserve team captain.

His partner in the centre of the defence is Scott Cuthbert who captained the Scotland U19s to the final of the U19 European championships in the summer.
It's a good sign if O'Dea was chosen as captain over Cuthbert considering there's only a few months between them.

[theworm2345]

Andy Reid started for Charlton, got hurt and came off after 30. Holland on the bench

Carsley started for Everton, his long range effort lead to Johnson's goal

Given, Carr, Duff start for Newcastle

Paddy Kenny starts at Sheff U, Alan Quinn on the bench

Colin Healy started at Barnsley

Colin Doyle on the bench at Birmingham

James O'Connor and Alan Mahon start for Burnley, Aidan Davison (Irish?) for Colchester

Michael Doyle and Kevin Thornton (Irish?) start for Coventry, Doherty starts for Norwich

Cunningham, Delap, Miller, Kavanagh, Connolly start for Sunderland...Elliott on the bench. Kavanagh and Connolly both have assists. Fans are singing "Only One Keano" right now. Miller and Connolly have been singled out by the commentators as being "too much to handle for Derby"

Alex Bruce, Alan Lee, Jonathan Macken start for Ipswich, Billy Clarke on the bench...Clarke has scored

Kennedy starts for Cyrstal Palace, Morrison on the bench

Sean St. Ledger starts at Preston, Stephen McPhail starts for Cardiff, Willo Flood on the bench

Wayne Henderson on the bench at Brighton

Andy Keogh started at S****horpe

Wes Hoolahan starts at Blackpool

Barry Conlon hit a penalty for Darlington (he has said he would never play for Stan, so it doesn't really matter at this point)

What grievance has Barry Conlon got with Staunton?

[DmanDmythDledge]

Anybody have any idea how Adam Rooney is getting on at Stoke? Is he injured?

[Stuttgart88]

I can only guess that Rooney's been injured. AFAIK, yesterday was the first time this season he's even made the bench.

Billy Clarke scoring was the highlight of yesterday for me.

[Stuttgart88]

What grievance has Barry Conlon got with Staunton?Maybe he was just being realistic. He probably should just have said ''I'll never play for Ireland''. Barry Conlon is not the answer lads!

[Stuttgart88]

Great round up Worm. To answer your question, Kevin Thornton is Sean Thornton's younger brother & I think is an Irish U21 international. Some say more talented than Sean but a recent quote from Micky Adams recently suggests young Kevin has every bit as much of an attitude problem as Sean.

[eirebhoy]

It seems Kavanagh had an excellent debut:
http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=159795

"best peformance by a sunderland player i have seen for sometime, he was everywhere yesterday."

Most would say the championship is his level judging by his performances for Ireland but he has played well against the likes of Arsenal. Pity about his age as if he hasn't earned a place in the Ireland team by now he's not going to improve from here.

[theworm2345]

Thanks, I originally had more but computer crashed and I lost it (it had Adam Rooney and League 2)
A few quick additions
Michael Evans scored for Torquay
Barry Cogan scored for Barnet
John "JJ" Melligan scored for Cheltenham
Today
Paul Butler, Gary Kelly, and Jonathon Douglas started for Leeds, Darren Potter and Gary Breen started McCarthy's Wolves, Breen had either an assist or he headed to the guy with the assist on Bothroyd's goal

[Stuttgart88]

Anthony Stokes made his Falkirk debut on saturday, but they got thumkped 4-0 at Ibrox. patrick Cregg also played for falkirk.

From BBC Website:

New Falkirk signing Anthony Stokes made his debut up front, while fellow new recruits John Stewart and Tam McManus were named as substitutes.

But the teenager on loan from Arsenal was a virtual spectator early on as Rangers started the game in attack.

Julien Rodriguez rose above everyone else only for his header to drift over the crossbar from eight yards following a Burke corner.

Stokes was not too far away with a long-range effort that dipped just over.

[Stuttgart88]

Anybody have any idea how Adam Rooney is getting on at Stoke? Is he injured?From soccerscene.ie:

Adam Rooney believes he can learn a lot from new signing Ricardo Fuller as he strives for a return to the first-team.

The young Irishman burst onto the scene with a hat-trick at Brighton's Withdean Stadium on the final day of last season.

After damaging a medial ligament in pre-season the teenager spent a frustrating six weeks on the sidelines but returned to action for the reserves in the 4-1 win over Shrewsbury and insists the arrival of Fuller from Southampton is good for his progress as well as for the team.

"I haven't seen him in training yet," he revealed, "but I've heard a lot about him and it is a great signing for everyone at the club.

"Playing alongside different types of strikers is good for my game so hopefully when the opportunity arises, it can give me the experience I need to better myself here.

"I just want to be in the first-team and I'll have to keep pushing. Competition for places is good for the club and if I can push my name up there, I will get a chance."

The 18-year-old lined up alongside Sammy Bangoura in the reserve's win over Barnsley and added the finishing touch to a 3-1 win, scoring with a neat back-heel.

He insists his main goal is match fitness, adding: "It's s just great to be playing again. I've never been injured before for more than a few days, so it has been frustrating.

"For the goal, Pato (Martin Paterson) did well in beating his marker and I wanted to try and make a run to the front post to get ahead of the defender.

"It was a great ball in and I just tried to flick it into the corner of the goal and luckily it came off for me.

"I've never tried it in a game before but I scored one like that in training the other day so I had it fresh in my mind."

Rooney maintained his comeback from injury scoring his second goal in as many games helped City's second string breezed past Barnsley at the Britannia Stadium.

The Republic of Ireland youth international netted the third goal with a cheeky back heel, to ensure a first home win of the season for Noel Blake's side.

Colin Healy ( yes our Coiln Healy) bagged a consolation goal for the Tykes before Adam Rooney added the finishing touches to the score line in the dying minutes.

But the goal of the day was scored by the returning Rooney. After missing much of the season so far through injury, the young Irishman showed he had lost none of his quality with just 10 minutes remaining.

Martin Paterson turned his marker inside out before delivering a low cross, which Rooney neatly back heeled into the net.

[theworm2345]

Kevin Doyle got the award for Reading's Player of the Season for last year

Doyle started for Reading, Shane Long came on in the 75th minute, Graham Stack and Stephen Hunt were unused subs. Richard Dunne played 90 for City

[theworm2345]

[Dodge]

OK, I spent the last 2 days doing this, if someone is left off, its a shame, just tell me and Ill add him

Good work. You left out Dominic Foley of Belgian first division side KAA Gent

[tetsujin1979]

Thought Doyle was poor last night until late on when he had 1 decent chance and 1 shot that was going in after rounding the keeper, until Distin intervened to put it out for a corner. Long did well when he came on, showed good pace and control against a tiring Man City defence.
Dunne kept Doyle very quiet all night until late on (which is when Doyle had his best spell) when he was sent forward in search of an equaliser. Along with Weaver was probably Man City's most consistent player of the night, although he'll be disappointed he didn't get his head to the cross that led to Reading's goal.
No sign of Ireland, Hamann took his place on the bench.

[SaucyJack]

Impressive list Worm, I think Lafferty at Celtic plays for the North though, could be wrong.

[eirebhoy]

I've been meaning to start a new thread for the new English season but haven't got around to it. I'll probably have it done by this weekend. Worm's list will come in handy. An update for Football Manager was released on Sunday so I'll start compiling an updated list today.

[theworm2345]

A few mistakes Stuttgart88 helped me with
For Barnsley, Coulson is not Irish, Mark Devaney is (Coulson was directly above Devaney on the list on Wikipedia, I must have saw him)
Conrad Logan, the keeper for Leicester
Dominic Foley (FW) KAA Gent (thanks to Dodge)
No new finds on Lafferty, but everyone says that hes from the North, so Ill take him off.
I'll look into Cillian Sheridan (He is Irish, but does he still play for Celtic, if so, what team (first or reserves) and what position (forward?) and Lafferty

[tetsujin1979]

I'll look into Cillian Sheridan (He is Irish, but does he still play for Celtic, if so, what team (first or reserves) and what position (forward?) and Lafferty

Sheridan's a striker in the U-19's, scored twice against Hibs recently:

Jonathan Walters- ChesterWhat a disappointment he's turned out to be. Was highly rated when he was at Bolton I think. Did well in our U21s for a bit.

[tetsujin1979]

What a disappointment he's turned out to be. Was highly rated when he was at Bolton I think. Did well in our U21s for a bit.
Scored twice on his debut IIRC
Indeed he did: http://www.ireland-mad.co.uk/news/loadroll.asp?cid=ED92&id=122866

[Stuttgart88]

I think you're right.


Here's what SKY News says about Clarke:

Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton has hailed Billy Clarke after his match-winner in the 2-1 win over Coventry City on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old scored an 85th minute winner for Town in a dramatic second half at Portman Road.

Clarke had only been on the field for five minutes before unleashing a 25-yard left foot drive that defeated the diving Andy Marshall.

While Magilton has been singing the praises of the teenager he has also urged a word of caution.

"He is a revelation but I must try to keep his feet on the ground," Magilton confirmed.

"He has always had something about him. He suffered injury last season but he took it on the chin and is now firing on all cylinders."

The strike was Clarke's third goal of the campaign and he has been thrilled with his impact at The Championship club so far.

"I can't believe how it's gone for me. It's just amazing. It's mad really," Clarke told the club's website.

Edit: prize to anyone who can find anything about this in the Irish media. Not that an Irishman doing well in football is of any consequence to anyone.

[ken foree]

just to say thanks for everyone's fantastic work on this thread.

[tetsujin1979]

Diarmuid O'Carroll, Darren O'Dea and Jim O'Brien all played the 90 minutes for Celtic's reserves in a 2-1 win away from home over an experienced Hibs second string.
O'Carroll notched the winner late on.

[CraftyToePoke]

leicester v hull 0-1

McCarthy played and Logan held his spot on the bench for the second league game despite former Celtic and Scotlnd keeper Douglas definately being fit and able again.
Maybury again didnt feature at all.

Yeates was an unused sub for hull and no sign of Delaney in their 16. injured maybe?

McCarthy, early on was busy, winning several headers and giving away one free kick when challenging for a high ball when he seemed to knee the striker in the lowerback and one where he (McCarthy) went down holding his own face off the ball when he was definately caught.

he also showed some real quality when in posession by turning away from the chasing player leaving him for dead and then looking up to play a short pass, when there was no ball on, instead of hoisting it 50 yards up field, he took the ball 20 yards or so to his right, making a better angle before playing a truly stunning crossfield ball to his striker in the opponents third, this was made even more impressive by the fact that the striker,Hume, is tiny and was between 2 C.B.'s at the time, and yet he found his chest with the pass. this lead directly to leicester winning a corner.

not long after though, McCarthy was caught in posession on the edge of his area and had hulls final ball been better it could have been costly.

into the second half and he very nearly scored from a corner with a fine header, having already forced hull into conceding 2 previous corners immediately before with his presence in the 6 yard box.

then came the sickner, with hulls winner coming from a moment of real quality from Bridges who showed his pedigree curling it in the top corner from well outside the area but leicester had failed to close him down quickly enough with Paddy and the leftback hesitating for a moment as they seemed to leave it to eachother to close down the ball carrier.

even still, late on he had another chance, with a clear sight of goal from 10 yrds but it fell on his left, and even then, it was the type of chance you want to fall to a striker, and his scuffed effort was saved fairly comfortably.

[Stuttgart88]

no sign of Delaney in their 16. injured maybe?
Dated August 15th, from Hull's website:

Hull City boss Phil Parkinson has been hit by the news his captain Damien Delaney is facing a three-month stint on the sidelines after damaging ankle ligaments.

The central defender suffered the injury in training last week which resulted in him missing his first game in two years in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Derby County at the KC Stadium

Thought McGeady was poor tonight. Looked overawed by the occasion. Still, great experience for him. O'Shea looked good when he came on.

Super result at Elland Road!
Indeed--besides the injuries

Man Utd 3-2 Celtic
McGeady started and played 69 minutes, O'Shea came on in the 79th

Leeds 0 - 3 Sunderland
Gary Kelly, Jonathan Douglas, and Paul Butler all played 90 for Leeds, Cunnigham, Miller (scored), Kavanagh (scored), Murphy all played 90 for Sunderland. David Connolly also started, but was replaced by Stephen Elliott on 43 because of an injury (unknown what degree, it was his leg (perhaps hamstring which he hurt last year), I dont think that bad, because I think he walked off on his own). Elliott played 17 minutes before getting hurt (It was his ankle, he had to helped off the pitch...This could be very bad, I hurt my ankle playing basketball 2 years ago and was out for a month and a half), though he managed to score (on a pass from Murphy) in those 17 minutes. Liam Lawrence on in the 80th minute

Accrington 5 - 0 Wrexham
N/A

Torquay 0 - 0 Bristol R
Mickey Evans played 90 for Torquay

Scorers:
Liam Miller (Sunderland)
Graham Kavanagh (Sunderland)
Stephen Elliott (Sunderland)

What Roy Keane had to say about the injuries

The downside is the lads who got injured. I take
responsibility for Dave's [Connolly's] injury, I was going
to leave him out. He's got a thigh muscle injury, Stephen
Elliott's gone over one his ankle
Never hurt my thigh, but going over your ankle hurts like a b****

According to Teamtalk Murphy was "Impressive"!!

Clarke had only been on the field for five minutes before unleashing a 25-yard left foot drive that defeated the diving Andy Marshall.

Unfortunately, the goal wasnt really as great as this makes it sound, in reality, he was a bit lucky as, at least I think, the keeper really should've done better, though he did make a great run to get into space

Ah don't ruin a good quote Worm!

Wayne Henderson has asked for a transfer after being dropped for Brighton's last 2 games. It'll be interesting to see if he gets one.

Sunderland vs Leicester next week. Chance for Paddy McCarthy to impress the new Irish B team boss?

Injury update:
Connolly, thigh strain, probably 1 maybe 2 weeks
Elliott no break ligament strain probably 3-4 weeks
Elliott is gone for the Cyprus and the Czechs, which paves the way for Long, Murphy, or maybe Connolly

FC Levadia Tallinn 0 - 1 Newcastle
Given, Carr, Duff, full 90 for Newcastle

SV Salzburg 2 - 2 Blackburn
N/A

Slavia Prague 0 - 1 Tottenham
Keane started and played 79 for Tottenham---his and Doyle's scoring record both have to be worrysome at this point
