leicester v derby 1-1
Maybury started for leicester with Yeates getting half an hour and Logan an unused sub.Macken strated for the visitors.
Maybury had a very solid game, didnt venture upfield much but tends not to when playing at left back, playing better in the last month or so, looks a bit more motivated.
Yeates came on with 25 to play and the first time it came to him he tried to help it on ambitiously and ended up miscuing it and conceeding posession cheaply, he may have been better off playing one of 2 simple balls which were on.
The next time he had it he picked it up on the edge of his area and made good ground up the right side but tried another ambitious ball down the line and shanked it straight out of play, again there were simpler balls on. Next he gave away a free kick, although not in a dangerous area and followed this by again miscontrolling and giving it away again.
He then, in the opinion of his fullback, didnt work hard enough to prevent a cross coming in while defending that flank, and took a severe verbal volley from his teammate, he then followed this by again taking a poor first touch and his side had to go back to their keeper from being well inside their opponents half.
He also tried a left footed through ball which carried straight through to their keeper and managed a shot on goal, also off his left which went well wide and did at least manage to keep posession in the last 10, but rarely making defenders worry unduly about him.
At one point, leicester nearly conceded a goal from a deep ball to their back post and a shot which required an excellent save from the home keeper, derby had 2 players at the back post, but only one leicester player covering them, the awol player was Yeates, who can be seen trotting back on Sky's highlights wearing nr.8 just in time for the resulting kickout, seemingly bilssfully unaware of, or maybe just not giving a fcuk about the thousands of home fans behind that goal ready to wring his neck by then.
for derby, Macken was Macken, taken off after an hour, a shadow of the player who hit 20 at this level for preston before his big move and injuries, he was booked.

Michael Synnot has done enough to be kept on at Ipswich, good news
http://www.elevenaside.com/acrossthe...p?newsid=27239
Great reports by Tets - thank you. There is also Michael O'Connor at Crewe who is playing currently.
Thanks, I'll add O'Connor to the list and he'll appear in the next round of games.
According to his wikipedia profile - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael...8footballer%29 - he's played for the Northern underage teams, but changed his allegiance at U-21 level, similar to Darron Gibson, Marc Wilson and Rory Harkin.
If anyone knows of any other players that are missing, let me know and I'll add them in for the next round of fixtures. I'm pretty sure I've most players in the Premiership, Scottish Premiership and Championship, it's the lower leagues where I'm missing players.
Incidentally, if anyone can think of some good ideas to do with this information now that we have it, I'm open to suggestions. Adding it to a site somewhere and making it available for analysis is one idea, but I honestly wouldn't know where to start.
I saw Dave Savage play for Rushden and Diamonds there tonight...of course I was cheering on the other side!
We could stick all those players into our own irish players wiki and maintain various statistics on each player such as games started, sub appearances, goals scored, ratings (possibly ratings from a pre-determined set of daily papers considering many of us won't have the opportunity to see many of the games such players are involved in). We could also post links to any stories relevant to each player. Anything is possible.Quote:

What format does the data come out in, is it a fixed structure file. If so it should be possible to create an access db (or soemthing similar) which can be published fairly easily.
tets has suggested a wiki page a few times but I think an actual website would be better. I'd definitely do whatever I could to keep it updated. I'm just the type of person that can never get a site started (the template or whatever) but I've no problem keeping it updated. If we could get something up for the new English season it'd be great.Quote:

I think the existing wikipedia pages on Irish footballers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...nd_footballers - already serves a large portion of this, but it's a good ideaQuote:

Just to confirm the way he spells his name is Marc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Wilson_(footballer)
"Highly-rated Ireland Under-16 cap" Conor Hourihane from Cork has signed with the Sunderland Academy.
I see Darren Randolph will replace Scott Carson when Charlton play Liverpool in their last game of the season, as Carson isn't allowed to play against Liverpool as part of the loan terms. Could be a baptism of fire as Charlton may need something to stay up.
