Sean McDermott making a nuisance of himself supposedly. Would love to see the video, but I can't get it anywhere.

Last season, Paddy Madden’s goals earned Yeovil Town promotion to the Championship and he was rewarded with his first senior international cap.

But does Mooney realistically believe that something similar could happen to him with new manager Martin O’Neill?

“It’s every footballers dream to play for Ireland and it would be fantastic for me and my family but first and foremost I think I have to be playing in the Championship.

“If I can get in the Championship next year with Leyton Orient or whoever then I’m giving myself the best chance to be involved in a squad but I do think it’s important that you’re playing at a higher level than League One. So hopefully we can do that.

“To be an international playing for Leyton Orient in the Championship probably would’ve been a pipe dream two years ago and for that to become a reality would be fantastic.”

Scores for the O's this afternoon.

Goal!
Goal! Leyton Orient 1, Peterborough United 0. David Mooney (Leyton Orient) header from the right side of the six yard box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Lloyd James.

the new Adnan Januzaj?

I wish, he is a defender though

The internet seems to think he's English-qualified as well, may have been involved with them underage at some point.

Carruthers
Williams
Frecklington
O'Shea x 2
Doyle

Plenty of Irishmen on the scoresheet today. Judge, or the "Irish Messi" as Jeff Stelling likes to call him, in particular, sounded like he had a great game. He could be playing Championship football again next season, whether it's with Blackburn or Brentford.

Jon Daly notched another for Rangers as well.

Ian Lawlor conceded and then saved a penalty for Man City's youth side against Stoke last week: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/citytv/Match-h...tch-highlights
penalty incident is on the one minute mark

Cian Bolger is joining Southend on loan from Bolton.

Mason (Bolton) and McCann (Wigan) among the Irish goalscorers in the Championship today.

Andy Keogh scored too. The move to Blackpool has given him a new lease of life, similar to his first few weeks and months at Millwall.

3 in 44 for Milwall, now 2 in 3 for Blackpool, an arguably better team. If he keeps scoring there's no reason he won't be an option at international level again. The guy can finish once he has a bit of confidence.

We can all be a bit harsh on Keogh but the lad barely ever played in his natural position. God knows what job he could do for us if he was played as an out and out striker.
