Irish Abroad 2016/17

He played the whole game as well I think. Not sure when the last time that happened. Eoin Doyle was subbed though.
Well, this is embarrassing: http://bit.ly/2cCo0Xd

Young striker from Tallaght playing above his age group with Liverpool. Already scored twice for Liverpool u18s today.

Great talent. One to watch.

Kelleher is playing with the Liverpool u23s. Masterson progressing nicely also.

great work tets. Quick query about Dan Devine at Patrick thistle . Did he switch to us from the north? He us down in the star as well as one of ours but I can't remember him coming over. Dan Devine who played centre half with Williams at villa youths was around the same age as him. Also the star has an o Neill alli down as an Irish player at man city fc academy anyone know anything about him?

There's two Daniel Devines, which wrecked my head for a while
The one at Partick Thistle changed allegiances a few years ago: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/13424369
Daniel Devine from Villa was released in 2013, but didn't find another club


Also the star has an o Neill alli down as an Irish player at man city fc academy anyone know anything about him?
nope, never heard of him. the only Irish player in the academy I know of is Tyreke Wilson, supposed to be a good prospect too.

[Charlie Darwin]

The other Daniel Devine plays for Firhouse in the LSL.

How do you do spoiler tags on foot.ie?

Anyways, I've deleted my post - think it's correct, but you can see and tell me!

[tetsujin1979]

thought spoiler tagss were added myself, they were requested here: http://foot.ie/threads/60323-Spoiler-tags
but you're right anyway, gold star!

Can we take guesses on here?

[SkStu]

FYI - the answer has now been posted on the Twitter link. I got one right (current player) and one wrong (retired).

Went for Ian Harte as the retired player. In hindsight, not enough goals scored for it to be him.

[DeLorean]

I'm not very good at these things normally but it would have been a much bigger challenge if the the goals scored data was left out.

I'll be post more tomorrow, and wednesday. The images are automatically generated, so (in theory) removing goals should be straightfoward enough.
Mind you...

One in the current squad, one retired

[pineapple stu]

I presume this is with goals hidden?

Makes it a lot harder.

[pineapple stu]

I think I was working off a different 3-3 draw in Turkey, which was really throwing me for the first one.

So I suspect if the first (former) player's goals were included, there'd be a lot and that'd be a dead giveaway?

Is the current player ex-LoI?

[tetsujin1979]

Yes, and yes. PM me the answers, think you have it

[pineapple stu]

In my deleted post there, but I went and checked on wiki and I'm right alright.

So yay me! :)

[tetsujin1979]

Yesterday's two players were Frank Stapleton and Seamus Coleman

[pineapple stu]

Glenn Whelan and John Aldridge?

[tetsujin1979]

Glenn Whelan and John Aldridge?:good:Well done!

[pineapple stu]

I like this game!

It is harder without the goals alright, but it does make it more worthwhile.

hmmm, might have to make it difficult tomorrow

[tetsujin1979]

Yesterday's player records were Glenn Whelan and John Aldridge, today's two players are both retired, just to make it more difficult

[pineapple stu]

That's nasty. I've found the retired players easier so far - but this is just far back enough that a lot of players are blurring in to one.

Is it Graham Barrett and Gary Doherty?

Edit - sorry, not Graham Barrett, but maybe Stephen McPhail instead?

[tetsujin1979]

yep, well done.
Tomorrow, Im picking two players with five appearances in the seventies.

[Azrob Spooh]

Can I ask if Ryan Scully the Partick Thistle Goalkeeper is Irish qualified?
His stats state he was born in Dublin. He is 24 years old, has played 100 plus games, and he would seem to be a stronger option than Danny Rogers for inclusion in the Irish squad...............if qualified of course!!

that's a strange one, according to his wiki entry, he was born in Dublin, but most places list his nationality as Scottish, even his player profile at former club Dunfermline which includes his birthplace: https://web.archive.org/web/20141105175049/http://www.dafc.co.uk/people.php?SID=First%20Team&ID=10

[pineapple stu]

Hm.

Going to have to have a think about the first one.

Is the second Mark Lawrenson?

[tetsujin1979]

yep, one down

[pineapple stu]

Had to give up on the second one and google it I'm afraid! Only person I could think of who ended his career in 1985 - just pre-Jack - was Séamus McDonagh, but it's not him. Wouldn't have gotten that one at all tbh. One for you so!

[tetsujin1979]

anyone else?

[tetsujin1979]

Yesterday was Mark Lawrenson and Tony Grealish

Andy Townsend and Lee Carlsey?

Just skimming through there, not up with the play at all but are Pineapple Stu's posts meant to be legible through the black strip ? Cos they clearly are.

both correct - it was Bernie Slaven and Seamus McDonagh. That's all for now, if I remember I'll do it again in the next international window

An impressive showing from P.Stu is has to be said!
