List of all Irish players abroad

[eirebhoy]

I'm going to open a new thread later with updated lists of players. It's a pity I didn't do it before the seasons started though.

Pady McCarthy on his sides trip to the staduim of light tomorrow



No crisis here

Paddy McCarthy insists there will be no crisis of confidence when he leads Leicester City out against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.

Just as the Wearsiders are going from strength to strength, City are faltering, but the inspirational Irishman is adamant that the visitors are up for the challenge.


"I don't think it is a confidence thing," said City skipper McCarthy, whose side have hit a rocky patch, losing the last two games after putting together a four-match unbeaten run.

"Anyone who watched our game on Tuesday night here would see that we were the better side, but the hardest part of this game is putting the ball in the net.

"We have worked hard on the training ground to try to put that right, and we feel we can go there and get a good result.

"We are not going to make up the numbers, to just be part of the atmosphere with Roy Keane making his home debut as manager. We are going up there to try to win a football match.

"Obviously, he is a massive presence. Plymouth won there earlier in the season and I know a lot has changed since then, but we feel we have a chance."

Not least because the Championship is so even it is accepted that everyone can beat everyone else on any given day - as bottom club Hull showed on Tuesday when they stole a 1-0 win at the Walkers Stadium.

Moreover, there is a tremendous spirit in the City side, even among the strikers who are straining at the leash to bring an end their barren run in front of goal.

Sunderland have a striker problem of their own, but of a different sort.

Former City forward David Connolly, who signed for Sunderland from Wigan recently, and Steve Elliott both suffered injuries in Wednesday's win at Leeds.

That could open the door for Dwight Yorke to resume his career as a striker after being switched to a midfield defensive role by Trinidad & Tobago at the World Cup.

But the main threat to City will be the sheer intensity of the passion from the stands, not to mention Keane on the bench.

Sunderland, who have won their last three games, including two under Keane, will be desperate to give the former Manchester United captain a win on his first home appearance and, on form, they will start favourites

I see Nolan made the bench.

Keane was only substitute, replacing Defoe with about 15 minutes left
Well then my information was ****
Some bad news for Elliott, hes now out up to 2 months, so no Cyprus, Czechs, or San Marino for him. We are a bit fortunate its these 3 as the only place we wouldve really needed him really is the Czechs, though it is true that we really needed him against Cyprus last time, as he scored our only goal. Connolly is still a couple of weeks

Thanks for that mate..fantastic round up.Hope things get better for a lot of the Irish lads between injuries and their teams not doing so well.

New thread here for the new season:

worm - keep up the good work! :) You could probably put that round up in the new thread.

I think Jim O'Brien was on the bench for Celtic.

Anyone see Andy Keogh's goal. Quality.

Just saw Billy Clarke's goal from midweek. OK, keeper may have saved it but great run & shot.
