They've won every single home game except for one 0-0 draw. So they've won every home game ANYBODY has scored in! :)Quote:

a shocker indeed Stutts, every week I watch linos pretend they cant see the CB pulling the shirt off the striker, while simultaneously trying to mount and hump him, and when one finally grows a pair and makes a call......... this is what he goes and does.
the card has been rescinded today, hope he's proud of that one.
as for the game, i wasnt there, lcfc dont exactly inspire midweek travelling just now. but it seems Garvan was busy, lots of shooting from distance for him which is good to hear. Sheehan was restored to the line up, this time in midfield, and he is mentioned as having delivered some quality balls. Hayes also got 20 mins on the left near the end.
Lee, Walters and Garvan for ipswich with Clarke getting on as injury time sub.
OS report here http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...,10274,00.html
a little help here please boyos,
leicester u18s played tonight, with an O'Brien in goal, an O'Neill and a Burns and a Billy Kee also involved, now the leicester OS doesnt profile its players anymore, and id like to know how many, if any of these players are ours.
any site which does that? or whats the best way of going about it?
report here; http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...189306,00.html
also an Arron Doran for blackburn
Doran of Blackburn is apparantly an excellant prospect.
O'Brien is Kevin O'Brien, can't find anything out about himQuote:

I got their full names from the Blackburn review of the game: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...189521,00.html
From reading this thread - http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/lo...?t41498-0.html - it looks like Billy Kee is a local lad
Quote:
You can tell he's from 'Sorrel, just by looking at him.
Don't know of any site that lists academy players, other than the official site of the club involved.Quote:

Like I did above, you can read the opposing team's review of a game for player names as well.

There's two lads called O'Connor playing for Blackburn as well, both their profiles list them as English, but that doesn't mean they don't qualify:
Callum O'Connor: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...081689,00.html
Michael O'Connor: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...889594,00.html (looks disturbingly like Alan Smith)
Ian Daly and Donal McDermott started for Man City's Academy side as they beat Millwall's Academy 5-1 in the FA Youth Cup. Both scored, with Daly's goal coming from the penalty spot. He also missed an earlier penalty. Millwall had a lad called Pat (or Patrick) O'Connor in defence, but I can't find anything out about him.

Chris McCann scored for Burnely today and then got sent off two minutes later! Hunt, Morrisson, Tabb, Folan and Garvan also on the scoresheet.
Shaun Scannell scores the winner for Palace.
A couple of pics of Scannell celebrating his first senior goal. He's 17 but looks even younger in these photos.

I see a few sites have him down as Sean now so I'll go with that from now on. ;)

ALL the talk may be about John Bostock, but it is arguably another Palace youngster who has made the bigger impression in recent weeks.
First year scholar Sean Scannell helped turn the game in the Eagles' favour at Loftus Road last week, and he was equally effective in stretching the Barnsley back-line when he emerged as a 55th minute substitute on Saturday.
The youngster - who has notched 12 goals for the under-18s this term, including the winner in the midweek FA Youth Cup victory - was presented with two half-chances at Oakwell, only for his composure to desert him on both occasions.
But if his snatched shots belied his tender years, Scannell's impressive maturity off the pitch spoke of an old head on young shoulders.
Way to go Seanie boy. I saw his name come up as "Shaun" on Sky's Gillette Soccer Saturday and thought it looked wrong. He's been discussed on foot.ie and fai.ie as "Sean". Clinton's assist too from what I read.
Today Fm gave a list of Irish scorers in the Championship, but missed out on Scannell. I sent in a text to notify them and it got read out right at the end of the fans phone in!

Palace have not lost a game in which Clinton Morrison has scored this season
Congratulations to Sean Scannell on his first of his career
Graham Barrett has 5 goals in his last 9 games
Noel Hunt has 9 goals in 18 games for Dundee United, although 3 of those were in the same game
Willo Flood gets his first of the season

John O'Shea continues his record of coming off the bench in every away game
Aiden McGeady has 7 bookings this season, 5 of those away from home.
He's the head off of Steven Pienaar.
Hopefully he'll turn out to be as good as well.
Man City's reserves played the Thai national side on sunday, with Garry Breen, Paul Marshall and Karl Moore all getting introduced at half time. Michael Daly also came off the bench in the second half.
Review on City's website here: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pa...&newsid=516030
Can you please text Palace. They have him as English on their website (also have the spelling as both Shaun & Sean!)Quote:

His booking yesterday was very strange. He got fouled and got up off the ground to confront the Inverness player. Both players had a few words for each other but they didn't touch each other and McGeady was booked. He'll now miss the next Rangers game because bans don't come into affect for 14 days.Quote:

Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce is set to sign Ipswich winger Jonathan Walters, despite selling the player when he was Bolton manager. (The Sun)
Leicester manager Ian Holloway hopes to beat Derby and Norwich to the signature of Sunderland midfielder Graham Kavanagh. (Daily Star)
Just had a browse of the paper in the canteen at work so not quite sure if i've got the whole story...There's a young dude O'Hara at Spurs (debut Saturday, had an assist) apparently at the centre of a tug of war between us and England according to the back of the Star (Or Sun). What it said was that he's keen to play for us but the FAI failed to act on a tip to approach him when he was on loan at Millwall last year....
Anyone know anything about him...
Aparantly he changed the game for Spurs when he came on at the weekend.
Could be trying to make a new Kevin Davies!!!....Quote:

Steven Hunt linked with a january move to sunderland acording to the times, a couple of obscure websites and message boards.
According to his wikipedia entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_O'Hara - he's played for England at u-16, u-17, and u-18, so I don't think he's been too keen to play for us.Quote:

If I had to guess, it's a case of a paper not refusing ink.
Steven Reid made his first start in 16 months for Blackburn today...oddly enough it was at right back
He started against Wigan on Saturday too.Quote:

O’Hara played a great ball to Malbranque for Spurs 2nd goal.
That's right. He was arguably at fault for the same reason for the first goal too. In all I thought he did well enough. Not being in synch with the 2 CBs regarding holding the defensive line for through balls isn't a requirement of a midfielder though, so I'm not bothered. It's probably at least 2 years since he has played full back.Quote:

Hunt denies it though (Independent)

David Norris staying put (both The Sun).
Sorry worm!
Sunderland's Graham Kavanagh and David Connolly are targets for Norwich and Leicester. (Telegraph)
I'd say you're right.. The article said he had caps for England but he was looking to capitalise on his wicklow born grandparents or something. But the tabloid did say that the FAI failed to act on a tip of his desire to switch to us, which I would believe.... The Suns normally full of ****.... But even a broken clock is right twice a day!!!Quote:

Just saw Scannell's goal this morning. Not a bad finish:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPylqduJ20Y
I hope Hunt does move to Everton.......it would be a far better move than Sundlerland. Ideally he should stay at Reading although the wages there are small in comparison to what they may get elsewhere.
I'm still not convinced Keane knows what he is doing despite have alot of money to spend.
Also its cringeworthy that some Irish players are moving to Sunderland just the fact its KEane - O'Donovan would have see more game time at Fulham......
must be irish:

Another great performance from Sean St Ledger for Preston North End against Southampton.
The Preston fans are calling him the "new Mark Lawrenson" high praise indeed!
