Irish Abroad 2010/2011

Site updated with the latest transfers, squad members and games played to date in the season: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/GameDayDetails

As always, if you notice any player missing or assigned to the wrong club, please inform me and I'll update it as soon as possible.

One new feature I've included is a list of currently unattached players: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/ClubDetails?clubID=0
At least, I was not able to find any record of these players current clubs. Again, if you know the correct club for any one of them, please let me know and I'll update it as soon as I can.

Mods: can you please make this thread a sticky at the top of the forum, as in previous seasons? Thanks

Tets, Should Terry Dixon be on the unattached player list?

There's an argument to include him alright. He never played for the first team, and, as a rule, I only track players who have at least made the bench for a club. If I did add him, there could be similar arguments made for every player released from reserve sides across the country. I won't be updating the site again until Friday, if people think he should be added then I'll include him in the update

Sean Scannell out of action for 5 to 6 months after knee surgery.

Holohan started for Norwich tonight and Gilmartin on the bench for Watford in the Championship opener.

anyone got a date of birth for Dean Kelly?

Oldham's site has one with him born in '91 and as a midfielder but BBC reported he is 24 years old

Ah, that's bad news.

Paul Green had a fine game for Derby against Leeds today. Made a very good run and a good pass for Derbys first goal.

He was busy and a nuisance all afternoon. Frequently muscled or just nicked the ball off the toe of Leeds players.

Kieron Cadogan at Crystal Palace is a right winger who played today. Any Irish connections?

Read a pre-season review in one of the papers today, usual stuff inc. an interesting two Irish "Ones To Watch" in the Premiership:

Shane Duffy and also Anthony O'Connor at Blackburn.

Scored too. David Norris, who Staunton mentioned a few times as a possible call up, got the other two

Sorry guys yea he got the 1st goal,Murphy, Colin Healy played also and O'Connor at left back,thats right i think Norris got a late call to the states tour but was already on holidays or something.

His dad is Irish. Until I see some declaration to play for US, I'll include him in the round up

That's a pretty tenuous link. He's never shown any inclination that he'd ever want to play for us, from what I can see.
