Who's this Steven Ireland fella. Must be handy with that number of points. Why don't we call him up?

John O'Shea

Folan has moved onto the Championship.
Keith Treacy has been introduced as a substitute in a League Cup game against Portsmouth, and was an unused sub against Liverpool in the Premiership
Graham Kavanagh was on the bench against Man City in the Premiership.
Treacy and Kavanagh are the only players to feature as subs, and not get a minute on the pitch in the Premiership
The word "dearth" springs to mind for some reason.Quote:

Yeah, though we still have Duff and Stephen Reid to come back from injury this season so, at least we have a couple more to come back into the frame.Quote:
