Very disappointing about Rice. A big talent to lose out on.

Obafemi seems like a decent player! Think he has a good chance of making it in the prem.

Potential future Ireland Manager there in James O'Connor (particularly if the Stephen Kenny experiment doesn't work out)

Just wanted to apologise to anyone who follows the updates on social media, for the repeated posting of the same message yesterday. I've been trialling some new software for the matchday updates, and everything was going well until the first live run during the Gibraltar game yesterday.

I'm hoping that everything will be resolved ahead of the game against Georgia on Tuesday, and you'll only see the history of games against Georgia once!

Leave Tets alone. It's good to see IT nerds bugger up!

Andy Boyle scored his first for Ross County last night, v Inverness CT. First time I've watched (on TV) any Scottish Championship game. Standard much the same as LOI Premier, I thought.

[tetsujin1979]

Love scanning through your updates keeping up to date with developments Tets. Small shout out to Caomhins older brother, Fiacre, playing away centre back with Sol Campbell’s Macclesfield, on loan from Oxford. Don’t think I saw his name there

Thanks, the round up after the weekend games is only really for landmarks, 100th goal, 50th appearance, return from injury, things like that.
I do track Fiacre Kelleher's appearances, but so far he hasn't achieved anything appearance wise to get a mention

[tetsujin1979]

Chris McCann's first start for D.C. United, Shane Long's 50th Premier League goal, Alan Browne's 200th appearance for Preston North End Football Club. and more in the weekend round up: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog?id=6132047173027152237

After Shane Long's second goal in consecutive Premier League games at the weekend, I wondered what the record of goals in successive Premier League games was for Ireland players - http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog?id=6320272857578980931

[Demesne Lad]

Andy Boyle praised by Ross County manager but won't be offered permanent contract. At least he got a couple of medals out of his stint in the far north!

[Demesne Lad]

No new contract for Darren Potter at Rotherham. Anthony Forde in discussions, Towell back to Brighton and Ireland possible Sean Raggett back to Norwich.

[tetsujin1979]

With the end of the autumn-spring leagues across Europe, I'm ok with topics drifting off topic - albeit within reason.
As always, use your best judgement

[tetsujin1979]

Richard Keogh's starts every game, three players win 20 matches, and more in the end of season round up: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog?id=3022577474492079003

At least it can be done! It was impossible a good few years.

Edit - Just spotted McGovern. So close. :(

Edit 2 - And Rice!! Get out of here.

This has improved since the start of the season and Travers will have competition in Randolph now:
