Anyone know about the young Irish lads playing at Luton?

Seasiders capture Leeds teenager

Blackpool have signed versatile teenager Ian Morris on a month's loan from Leeds United.
The 18-year-old Republic of Ireland youth international can operate at left-back or on the left of midfield.

He will go straight into the squad for Saturday's home game against Milton Keynes Dons at Bloomfield Road.

Morris has not yet appeared for Leeds' first team, but will hope to impress Seasiders boss Colin Hendry during his month with the League One side.

Joey O'Brien replaced Speed after 10 minutes. Currently half time.

[Irish_Praha]

Joey O'Brien replaced Speed after 10 minutes. Currently half time.

According to Sky Sports he looked nervous. Hopefully he'll do better with his next chance. Kevin Nolan got a cracker of a goal. Surely Kerr should try one last time to call him up? I know a lot of people on here wouldn't like it but he's still young and with Roy, Kavanagh and Holland all over 30 he is at least as good as what we have and definitely better than what we will have in the near future. If he declines the offer this time well then he can phuck off :D

Grimsby Town have handed a trial to teenage Sunderland midfielder Niall Flynn.

leicester v q.p.r. 1-2

McCarthy played the 90.qpr's opener came from a free header from a set piece when the player who scored got across the front of McCarthy,but he wasnt Paddy's man,i know this cos Paddy had hold of another qpr players shirt so tight he couldnt move or get off the ground.about 10 mins after that leicester were on the attack and McCarthy and Maybury and one qpr attacker were the only players in the leicester half when a long punt came towards them.McCarthy took a nice first touch as the qpr player attempted to give chace,but then McCarthy underhit the pass to Maybury so badly,it actually made the qpr player favourite for it,he went in hard,Maybury reacted with a high raking challenge which caused a 22 man brawl.

Maybury got a straight red for the challenge, and McCarthy got a yellow for his part in the handbags.Maybury will be banned immediately and as it was McCarthy's fifth booking of the season he will miss the game v derby on sat.
the manager has said the challenge was ''stupid and reckless'' and cost leicester the match.

McCarthy was also at the centre of the qpr winner when a flick on came toward him and even though he won the header under pressure from a taller player.he put it straight to a qpr player whose scuffed shot somehow ended up in the topcorner.there were plenty of leicester midfielders around who should not have allowed the guy time and space to shoot but if McCarthy had managed to direct the header anywhere else,it wouldnt have happened.

on the upside,i think he did well to finish the game on the field on sat as he was booked early and it was a rough game throughout with 2 red and 6 yellow cards, and qpr focused on him a lot off the ball and gave him plenty of provocation.

neither Sheehan or Logan made the 16

[tetsujin1979]

Stephen Ireland set up the second goal for Man City's reserves in their 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers' second string, including U-19 cap Keith Treacy (I can't see anywhere if he's played for the U-21s)

Ireland was substituted with about a half hour to go and should be in the Man City team to play Everton at the City of Manchester Stadium this weekend
Man City review here (http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pagegid={DBD12D53-8346-431D-A04F-5D0F8664DE80}&newsid=246738&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=1051&frommonth=7&fromyear=2005&tomonth=9&toyear=2005)

Incidentally there's a page on the wikipedia with a list of Irish players here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Republic_of_Ireland_footballers - what would the contributors to this thread think of adding the same post to the relevant players on that page?

[Stuttgart88]

Plenty of Irish in action the the Championship last night.

James O'Connor & Chris McCann (U19 intl I think) both scored for Burnley. Garvan played for Ipswich.

Clinton got his 4th goal in 5 games for Palace.

Alan Quinn scored. Kenny played well too. Geary made the bench again.

Gary Doc got a goal too. Delaney played for Hull. No sign of Andrews or Burgess.

Glenn Whelan was credited with an OG, but Partridge made a sub appearance again. Coughlan only made the bench (harsh?)

Mark Kennedy got an assist for Wolves.

No sign of Foley for a while now though Luton are going great guns.

Alan Lee came on as sub for Cardiff.

McCarthy played for Leicester in their 0-0 draw with Brighton, who fielded Wayne Henderson (who's keeping Blayney who has Premiershipo experience out of the team) & McShane. Logan was on the bench. Crafty will disagree but 0-0 is best outcome given all our players were defenders!

There were probably some others aswell - didn't have time to check!

[tetsujin1979]

Garreth O'Connor also scored for Burnley
Karl Bermingham also came on as an 89th minute sub. Probably didn't break a sweat before full time.

[CraftyToePoke]

leicester v brighton 0-0

Logan made the bench for the first time in a league game and with Rab Douglas having done his ankle ligaments and is looking at a few weeks out Logan will hopefully be the backup keeper for the first time in his career in the coming games.

McCarthy had his best game so far for leicester,solid throughout in the air and strong in the tackle and used it well.avoided getting a booking.made some lovely tackles. he put it all together for the first time lastnight and showed the player he might become in time.he needed to as theres a sweedish u21 international centrehalf who joined in the summer but got injured straight away,now fit again and doing well in the reserves. he was only beaten in the air twice all evening and only gave away one free kick,and i thought the ref got that one wrong.he was more vocal last night than recently as well,organising those around him at set pieces.

For brighton Henderson was solid and didnt drop anything and also got accross to some decent longrange shots well,but it was McShane who really impressed,his reading of it was spot on and the positions he constantly took up made it as difficult as possible for the leiscetser midfielders to pick out their runners along the ground.he was solid in the air and as leicester pushed in the last 15 he seemed to clear everything.

he got forward too and looked comfortable in possession and from one set piece,leicester half-cleared it and brighton rebuilt the move over several passes but he stayed forward,drifting around the box causing problems as the leicester defence tried to reorganise,he eventually popped up at the near post for the cross and headed narrowly wide.a fine game from him.

Sheehan didnt make the 16 but will play tonight with Logan in the reserves v west ham.

[Stuttgart88]

Garreth O'Connor also scored for Burnley
Can anyone remember if 3 Irish players have ever scored for the same team in a game in England? Was this a first?

[del fuego]

willo has just knocked one in for coventry!

[tetsujin1979]

willo has just knocked one in for coventry!
Nice goal too, finished from the far side of the area and a really tight angle to boot.

[CraftyToePoke]

leicester reserves v west ham reserves 2-2

Logan and Sheehan both played the full game.Logan is credited with 2 fine saves at crucial times and Sheehan hit a spectacular equalising free kick late on for leicester.Sheehan also had the ball in the net previously but the ref controversially dissallowed it,Sheehan also captained the side last night.

Clive Clark played for west ham and was booked

Stephen Ireland started for City today. Didn't see the game though they won 2-0.

[tetsujin1979]

Stephen Ireland started for City today. Didn't see the game though they won 2-0.
His first start in the premiership, only got it because Reyna has a slight neck injury, but is expected to be back for the next game, with Ireland probbly returning to the bench.
Played well by all accounts, the reporter on Sky Sports said he was robbed for a goal, and played in an amount of quality crosses.

Haven't seen it posted here yet, Alan O'Brien has gone on loan from Newcastle to Carlisle. He was on the bench against Blackburn but has yet to play for the senior side.
Report on Newcastle's site - http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~720889,00.html
Report on Carlisle's site - http://www.carlisleunited.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10361~720773,00.html?ptvParm=

He started his first game yesterday and marked the occasion with Carlisle's only goal in a 3-1 defeat to Bristol Rovers, 2 of Bristol's goals were og's by Carlisle players!!

[Stuttgart88]

Loads of Irish in action in the Championship. I'm busy at work so don't have time to get everyone in but some highlights include:

Ben Burgess with a really great headed goal for Hull City. Alan Dunne with an assist for Millwall in the same game.

Doyle & Stephen Hunt played in reading's 2-1 win over Sheff Utd for whom Paddy Kenny should have been sent off and Alan Quinn set up SUFC's equaliser. (eirebhoy - Quinn played left midfield!). Geary was on the bench.

Douglas played for Leeds.

I didn't see any Irish for Leicester this week - suspensions I presume.

Both the O'Connors figured strongly for Burnley. James got a goal I think.

Coughlan scored (again) for SWFC. Whelan played but Partridge was an unused sub I think.

Doc played for Norwich but McShane & Henderson were the wrong end of a 3-1 thumping.

Kennedy played for Wolves.

In the PL Stephen Ireland had a blinder by all accounts. The Observer said that "rarely could Shay Given have had such an outstanding game" while Robbie & Duff both scored. I thought Robbie's finish was quite lucky & Duff's first touch was heavy but I'll take the same again next week.

Clean sheet for O'Brien & Richie Dunne too. Carr too I suppose. No sign of Holland at all for Charlton. Reid played for B'burn & Kav played the full 90 for Wigan. He must be playing well as Wigan are on a great run. I'm told Stephen Elliott was very good for Sunderland. Finnan looked poor yesterday I thought.

[Tenderloins]

Daryl Murphy also made his Premiership bow for Sunderland, coming on as an 87th minute sub in their game V West Ham.

derby v leicester 1-1

just Logan on the bench due to the suspensions.McCarthy will be available again for the next game but Maybury has one more game to serve,it will be interesting to see if they come straight back in to the side as the goals conceded from set pieces which have blighted the season so far have stopped in the last couple of games,but neither has the team managed a win.

[CraftyToePoke]

Heres an interview with Paddy McCarthy from the ''blue army'' site about his recent suspension etc.........

I want to win my shirt back quick!

by BILL ANDERSON

Paddy McCarthy is even more determined to get back into the Leicester City team after sitting out his first game of the season.

His one-match ban for five bookings meant he was only an on-looker as his team-mates went so close to a boosting win at Derby County on Saturday.


Dion Dublin was outstanding in the centre of the defence and Patrik Gerrbrand made his league debut to underline what McCarthy is up against to earn his return.

He said: "I have now got to work hard to get back in the team. There has always been competition but the lads all played well at Derby.

"It was always going to be difficult for a new team to set the world on fire. We are not too far away and I think everyone can see encouraging signs.

"I thought Derby were dead and buried, and that we deserved the three points. Now we are looking towards the Watford game and to get the three points there."

McCarthy admitted: "The suspension was frustrating because I want to play every game.

"The boss has had a word about the bookings but it does not mean I will change my style, just be a bit more sensible."

McCarthy was one of last season's influx, a process that continued right up to last Thursday's arrival on loan of Arsenal winger Ryan Smith which underlined the transitional aspect of the squad at the moment and McCarthy said: "It is basically a new team coming into the club but it is becoming a bit more stable.

"There is a great spirit around the camp and, though we are near the bottom of the table, three or four wins can take us right up into the top half.

"Those victories have been only inches away on occasions and we are all looking to turn the corner when the action starts again."

coventry resreves v leicester reserves 2-0

Conrad Logan played 90 mins in this one.Sheehan was not involved.

Daryl scored the single winning goal after 73 minutes.

Synnott blow for Ipswich


Ipswich defender Michael Synnott will be sidelined until the New Year after undergoing surgery to cure his ankle injury.

Scans revealed the Irish defender had suffered a fracture which looks set to consign him to the sidelines until February.

Ipswich physio Dave Williams: "We are looking at four months or so before Michael is back playing again, he caught his studs in the grass when training on Thursday morning and went over on the ankle awkwardly.

"It's a fracture but it's on his 'good' ankle if you like and obviously not related in any way to the ankle ligament problem he had earlier this season," he told the club's official website.

along with John Nash,that's the second Irish youngster on the shelf for a long time at Ipswich.

James Simmonds played for Chelsea reserves in a 1-1 draw with West Ham reserves last night, had a facntastic shot tipped over according to the review

[Closed Account 2]

Doyle had a decent game for Reading just now, Morrison and Macken scored for Palace yesterday, think O'Conner also scored for Burnley again.

Saw Wigan v Newcastle on WebTV, and Kav had a great game for Wigan.

Saw Wigan v Newcastle on WebTV, and Kav had a great game for Wigan.
He's the main reason they are were they are. The 2 games he was out they lost.

watford v leicester 1-2

Paddy McCarthy came straight back into the side after his one game suspension for 5 yellows,the manager moved Johanson to left back and paired Dublin with McCarthy in the centre and he had a good game.avoided a booking was generally solid throughout.the watford goal was an individual error from Dublin.

none of the other irish lads were involved and Maybury will again be available following his ban for burnley on tuesday evening,however the manager has hinted he may stick with the side who managed the clubs first away win in 14 months.

Good to see new members to the board bringing so much to the party.

McGeady scored a freekick for Celtic reserves today against Hearts. Finished 1-0. Apparantly the best player in a team with 5 internationals.

[CraftyToePoke]

leicester v burnley 0-1

McCarthy was the only one of ours involved for leicester and he played well despite a very poor general performance from the home side.he wasnt beaten in the air once all evening and made some timely interceptions on the ground. he avoided a booking and didnt give dodgy freekicks away.he has improved recently and he now needs to maintain that.he also drew the best save of the game from the burnley keeper late on with a fine powerfull header from a corner

the 2 o'connors played for burnley as part of a system designed not to loose the game but wound up mugging leicester 0-1.they both did well and were good in posession.McCann ane Bermingham were unused subs.

[CraftyToePoke]

norwich reserves v leicester reserves 0-0

Maybury and Sheehan were the full backs for this one and Logan dropped to the bench.Sheehan sent a free kick narrowly wide from a wide area.

[pineapple stu]

Joey O'Brien started for Bolton away to Besiktas in the UEFA Cup tonight. Anyone watch the game and see how he did? Apparently Allardyce made seven changes or so from the team wihch lost to Chelsea. Is the UEFA Cup the new League Cup for them? I know they got hammered, but surely putting Ian Walker in nets isn't going to help?!

[tetsujin1979]

I'm/ starting to think getting to the league stage was all big sam wanted, he can play the reserves in the 4 games there, make some decent cash and not have to worry about any of his big name players getting injured, when he gets knocked out they're all still healthy for the Premiership campaign, and he's got money for the transfer window

[robbie_B]

O'leary from Luton out on loan to Tranmere.

Shane Supple started in goal for Ipswich yesterday and played well.

[jorge]

Dominic Foley scored for KAA Gent in the ninth minute which means he probably started.

[CraftyToePoke]

leicester v coventry 2-1

McCarthy started.Maybury was on the bench.McCarthy played well again and has gained in confidence recently.he cut out one low cross with the striker awaiting a tap in behind him where he did very well not to o.g. it.he timed one superb challenge when a cov player had a one on one with the leicester keeper ,if he had got it wrong it was a pen and a yellow at least and still in the first half he flicked one huge punt from the cov keeper back to Douglas in the leics goal when under severe pressure,it showed real self beleif.

Had less to do in the second half as Doyle and Hughes in the cov midfield couldnt really get sustained posession but when they pushed near the end he and Dublin were equal to everything.no sogn of Willo Flood,i dont know if he is injured or not,

nice touch at the end as well when 2 leicester fans invaded to celebrate the win and Paddy had a broad smile and a hug for one of them which went down very well in the stadium on a day when the stewarding and policing was needlessly heavyhanded at times.

[tetsujin1979]

no sogn of Willo Flood,i dont know if he is injured or not,
I haven't heard anything to suggest he is, but that's the third game in a row he hasn't played for Coventry, and the second in a row that he hasn't even made the matchday 16.
