you missed Sean Scannell of Crystal Palace, he's a striker for the U-17s. Not sure what team he's in at Palace though, I've seen reports of him in the reserves, and the U-18 sides. Can't find a date of birth either.

According to this page on fai.ie: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=920
Karl Moore's birthday is the 9th November, 1988.

Blackburn 4 - 2 Man City
Dunne full 90, Ireland on in the 78th

Robbie Keane full 90

West Ham 0 - 2 Newcastle
Carr and Duff full 90, Duff scored. Given started and got hurt in 86th minute had to come off. He had a back injury coming in, he may have aggravated it, either way, its not good

Man Utd 0 - 0 Arsenal
O'Shea has played the 1st half, match at half time

Hibernian 2 - 1 Rangers

Good man EB!! Did you CC Steve Staunton on that list. I think the back of the Evening Herald only gets him so far.

For what it's worth there's a young lad about 18 I think, Niall McArdle on the books at Sunderland. I dunno at what age you drew the line for your list though. The only reason I'm aware of that paticular dude is he went to the school where my wife teaches.

And just wondered if that guy from Arsenal Joe O'Cearuill was actually confirmed as one of us?

Anyone else note the struggle for alpha mail e-status on this site between Eirebhoy and theWorm nowadays??:D

I'm sure there's Irish kids that I haven't listed on the books of most clubs but it's probably better to limit it to those that are playing for us at underage level or at a decent level for their club (ie. those you can keep track of). :)


And just wondered if that guy from Arsenal Joe O'Cearuill was actually confirmed as one of us?
Almost every player on that list came from Football Manager 2006 and Joe O'Cearuill is listed as Irish in the latest update of that. I also found this link which is from his time at Leyton Orient:
http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=960&p=2&stid=8344512

"Joseph Delpesh O' CEARUILL
Young central defender Joe O'Cearuill was born in London on 9 February 1987 of Irish parentage, he made one appearance for the U-17s in 2001-2002. He was in the U-19 squad that retained the Riviera International Cup, held in Exeter during August 2002. He was a regular for the U-17s in 2002-2003 with 19 (1) appearance, he also made 2 appearances for the U-19 side. He was one of six young players to sign first year Scholarship forms in May 2003. The club hope he might join the Republic of Ireland youth squad in the near future."


Anyone else note the struggle for alpha mail e-status on this site between Eirebhoy and theWorm nowadays??:D
If it wasn't for him I'd have never posted an updated list. ;)

Posted this ion the old thread by mistake:

Adding to Worm's list from this weekend:

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.

Stephen Quinn will definitely start for Sheff Utd tomorrow in their Carling Cup match vs Bury.

[tetsujin1979]

Missed this last week, Man City's reserves lost 1-0 to Man United's reserves. City had Stephen Ireland and Garry Breen in the starting line up, while there was no Irish involvement for United.
Breen was substituted, after unfortunately deflecting the ball into his own net, with a minor injury and will miss tonight's game against Newcastle. Ireland is expected to play against Chesterfield on Wednesday, so Donal McDermott is coming into the side tonight. I'll post a review later on.

John O'Shea - Jack of... - 30.4.1981


And what kind of name is Travis Binnion? Do we have another Dawson Stelfox in our midst?

Is Patrick Kohlmann still at Dortmund B ? I think he was born in Germany but had an Irish mother ??

[geysir]

I think Jim O'Brien was on the bench for Celtic.
Could have been to fulfill under-age requirements for SPL squads, rather than 100% merited.

[eirebhoy]

Is Patrick Kohlmann still at Dortmund B ? I think he was born in Germany but had an Irish mother ??
I haven't heard his name in so long I forgot all about him. :) I checked on Dortmund's website and he included in their squad for a match against Hamburg a few days ago:
http://www.borussia-dortmund.com/?%E7%86%9C*h%97%84%EC%5Ci%E6%8C%94

He was an unused sub and was his first time on the bench this season.

I seen this post on Bigsoccer from the last week about an amateur game:

" "kicker" also stated that Kosi Saka and Sahr Senesie are working well together as a pair. Their choice for BVB's outstanding players were goalkeeper Pirson and midfielder Kohlmann."

I thought he was a left back?

[tetsujin1979]

Donal McDermott played for Man City's reserves side against Newcastle's second XI. The Toon came from 3-0 down to win 4-3! No sign of Alan O'Brien, Stephen Ireland or Garry Breen, so they could be involved in their respective clubs games this week, City play Chesterfield tomorrow in the League Cup and Newcastle travel to Anfield in the Premiership.

Joe O'Cearuill from Arsenal hasn't ever declared for Ireland has he? Also whatever happened to Matthew Connolly? He has jumped ship now hasn't he as has Leon Best.

[Stuttgart88]

I think Connolly has jumped ship. Best is no loss if Bournemouth is the best he can do at this stage. He's never actually impressed me anyway.

Also James Simmonds at Chelsea has jumped ship too, no? He's been purged from the FAI website in very Stalin-esque fashion.

He's Irish as far as I'm concerned. :) 2 Irish parents.

I'm not sure about Simmonds though.

[Stuttgart88]

Only updates on Simmonds I've found online are a string of U17 caps Simmonds got for England in late 2003. I've searched within FAI website and "James Simmonds+Ireland" on google and found nothing.

Looks like he has jumped ship: http://www.thefa.com/England/U17s/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2003/12/U17player_profiles.htm

[eirebhoy]

I'll leave Simmonds in for a while as he hasn't got an England call up since he was called up (http://www.soccercentral.ie/viewstory.asp?mainheading=Republic%20of%20Ireland&id=14454&viewstory=yes) to our underage squads. His uncle was on soccercentral last year:



Simo for Ireland!!!! He is an outstanding prospect. Damien Duff has been giving him lots of encouragement at Chelsea. God bless the "Duffa". He has had to pull out of the game in Bari as he has damaged ankle ligaments but should be back in training in a few weeks.
Brian Kerr presented his Ireland cap at a big do in Dublin, he got his England cap through the post!! No contest.
The FAI sent him a fantastic letter when he declared recently welcoming him and his family ( Kerry and Donegal) God bless Brian!
Choosing Ireland ahead of England came from James's heart. We are all brimming with pride as he is living out all our dreams. Who knows God willing, he may one day be at Landsdowne Road , singing the soldiers song?
Keep an eye out for him
Come on you bhoys in green!!
Whelo (Jame's uncle London, Cork and Dublin)

Cillian Sheridan scored another brace for Celtic U19s. Skinner and Carey also started with Cahillane on the bench.

Darren O'Dea is starting for Celtic tonight against St Mirren in the CIS Cup

[eirebhoy]

He played left back. I've seen him play 2 or 3 times in his best position at centre half for the reserves and he looked decent, if rarely tested. Tonight he seemed to like the long ball but got in a few nice crosses. He lacked pace but was never beaten. Impossible to tell how good he could be though.

He was born in Nottingham and has never played for Ireland afaik so I don't know why he's listed as Irish on a few sites.

He definitely seemed impressive judging by the BBC report. He was also apparantly their best player in the 2-0 defeat to Aberdeen.

[Dodge]

Did ex Pats player Stephen Quinn play for Sheffield United?

[theworm2345]

I have homework, no full review

David McGoldrick ( :confused: ) scored for Southampton

Michael Keane scored for Rotherham

Mark Kinsella unused sub for Walsall

[Stuttgart88]

Fantastic to read that about Stokes.

Stephen Quinn came on as sub at half-time last night. Alan Quinn started. John Fitzgerald played for Bury, Brian Barry-Murphy unused sub.

Supposed to be pulling up trees because he scored 1 goal in three appearances against Inverness? By all accounts he was pure s**te in his other 2 appearances. Talk about getting carried away.

[Stuttgart88]

Paul McShane played full 90 again for WBA. Mixed game according to the Guardian:

Odejayi capitalised on a defensive mistake by Paul McShane to slide the ball past Pascal Zuberbuhler. But McShane atoned three minutes into the second half with a volleyed cross that Ronnie Wallwork stooped to head past Shane Higgs.

Sums up Mc Shane for me in a nutshell. Can be dodgy defensively but good getting forward. Scores a few goals also. Unfortunately those last three statements could all be applied to Ian Harte aswell so make of that what you will.

if youd actually researched the other two games you might realise that he was not infact 'pure ****e', the falkirk website quoted him as being 'our best player by far' against aberdeen.

also anyone have any clue about how the ipswich lads got on in the CC especially billy clarke if he even played?

Ipswich went out on penalties to Peterborough in the last round. They're playing Sunderland at the weekend, which could set a record for Irishmen on the same pitch in a club game in England!

By all accounts Stokes was excellent against Aberdeen...

"Stokes, by far Falkirk’s best player, then caused havoc in the Don’s defence, shuffling to the byeline before laying off a ball across goal but it took Twaddle by surprise and the youngster’s shot flew high over the bar to the utter dismay of the home support."

Why make stuff up? Either that or somebody has been telling you porkies...

[tetsujin1979]

Some comments from a Falkirk message board:


Think he looks like a star of the future and we should enjoy him while he is playing for us. Previous Falkirk heroes have usually been at the end of their career while this boy is just starting. In years to come we could be saying "I watched him when he played for Falkirk". Would be great if we could get an extension to his loan until the end of the season.


he was brilliant last night plenty of pace
and some great touches and deserved man of the
match topped with a great goal


Looked the part on Saturday.....keen as mustard.

He was crap against Rangers. It wouldn't have been hard to be Falkirk's best player in the Aberdeen match they got hammerred 2-0 at home. As a striker his job is to score goals - if he doesn't score goals then no-one will care come the end of the season that he layed off a few chances in a game they got beaten 2-0.

1 goal in 3 appearances in the Scottish league for an apparently highly rated Arsenal striker is hardly pulling up trees. Even if he is only 18. Bendter is banging in goals for fun at Birmingham in a much more competitive league and he's a similar age to Stokes. Stokes isn't going to get a look in as a striker at Arsenal unless he improves dramatically, he doesn't look to be as good as Lupoli or Bendter. Get the rose tinted glasses off and be realistic.

I'd look f**king good at Falkirk on occasion.

[FootballsKing]

in fairness, no you wouldnt

[eirebhoy]

You said he was rubbish against Aberdeen which simply isn't true. Stokes scored 1 in his first 3 for Falkirk, Bendtner scored 1 in his first 3 for Birmingham. Lupoli has managed to score in one of his 6 matches for Derby (which was a brace tbf).

Also:
"A very tired looking Stokes was withdrawn in 73 minutes and Pedro Moutinho took over."

Give him time, he has had a very good start and isn't even fully match fit. Hartson, Larsson, Viduka, Negri, Cadete, Boyd and Van Hooijdonk are the only players to hit 20 goals in a season in the SPL in the last decade. All players that had well proven themselves in other leagues. Hartson hit 24 goals in a season with West Ham. Larsson scores loads no matter what the level. Viduka scored 22 for Leeds after leaving Celtic. Negri scored 15 Serie A goals the season before joining Rangers. Cadete scored 25 goals for Sporting in a season in Portugal before joining Celtic. van Hooijdonk scored 34 for Forest the season after leaving Celtic and also 22 in the Dutch league after that.

It's not as if he should be scoring in every match because he's in a poor league. :)

[cheifo]

I reserve the right to be excited by the potential of this lad so to hell with with the begrudgers.Lupoli and Bentder are great prospects so he can be one too and no I have never seen him play:p

I hope he becomes a top striker but for every Robbie Keane or Kevin Doyle we have five like Graham Barrett, Michael Reddy, Richie Foran, Ben Burgess, Liam George, Alan Lee etc. I personally think Billy Clarke is more so the one to watch this season. Adam Rooney could also have a good year but he's just recovering his match fitness after a pre-season injury so I'll wait before making a judgement.
