Good stuff. I read on the Football365 commentary that it was an overhead kick. :cool: Hopefully the first of many top-flight goals for him. He seems to be the forgotten man after his SPL exploits last year, hopefully he can re-ignite his career. This'll do his confidence no harm.
It wont be the first of many when hes still playing on the wing...it wasn't an overhead kick I don't think thoughQuote:

Doesn't seem to be too much to be positive about these days in the footballing world
EDIT: It was a side volley from 1-2 yards out
Speaking of forgotten men, has anyone noticed how well Clinton has been doing since Owls fan's favourite person took over at the Palace?Quote:

yeah 4 in a row now i think. Delighted for him, he's been through quite a lean spell under Peter Taylor but it seems that Warnock has taken a liking to him...Quote:

Stephen Carr becomes the first Irish player to be introduced from the bench, and then substituted, this season.

Anyone know why Steve Finnan and Andy O'Brien played full 90 minutes games in midweek in Europe, and neither featured for their respective teams?

Oddly enough, John O'Shea has been introduced from the bench in every away game he's started on the bench for Man United, but has come on in less than half of the home games he's been a substitute for
November statistics: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/november.xquery
Aiden McGeady won the most home games, Andy Reid won most away games, Jonathan Walters was the top scorer and Sean St Ledger lost the most
here's Alan Sheehans take on the game at the moment, he is currently in the side ahead of another academy guy whos contract was recently extended till 2010, an English u21 cap.
Jonathan Hayes has also gotten back into the side and had drawn praise generally, some neat work on Sat and 2 very good crosses, but sadly Carl Cort on the pen spot is a talentless lazy donkey at present, only good for booing at.

Sheehan hopes his special delivery can do the trick!

Leicester City could well take the high road to success when they face an in-form Burnley at Turf Moor tonight.
The Clarets are bound to be confident after winning their last two games under new manager Owen Coyle and will be sweeping forward in front of their home fans.
That could mean City's chances will be few and far between, and may rest, yet again, on set-pieces.
That is where Alan Sheehan could come in. His crosses from free-kicks and corners, and his own blistering shots when he gets the chance, have proved a pretty potent weapon so far this season - and he set City on the road to victory in Ian Holloway's first game as manager at Bristol City with a trademark free-kick delivery converted by Richard Stearman.
As the more experienced, or rather less inexperienced, of two youthful left-backs, he got the nod over Joe Mattock on Saturday for the disappointing home defeat by Southampton, and City are likely to be along similar lines tonight.
Sheehan said: “All I know is I put the ball in the box. With us having headers of the ball like Gareth McAuley, Patrick Kisnorbo and Richard Stearman, if I put the ball in the right places, I am fairly confident they are going to score.
“I would like to think it is a good weapon because most of our goals have come from set-pieces this season. It would be nice to score a few more from open play but it doesn't really matter where they come from.
“We were very disappointed on Saturday, harshly done by with the penalty, and it is good we can try to rectify it really quickly and hopefully we can get another win away.
“I think our away form is not bad this year and, if it does come from a set-piece, then fine.”
Sheehan knows he faces competition from not just Mattock at full-back but now Jonathan Hayes as a left winger, both roles he has filled so far, and he knows it is up to him to make his mark as Holloway gauges the squad.
Sheehan said: “A lot of us are trying to prove a point to the new manager, every day in training and in every game, that we are good enough to be playing week in week out.
“I think it is a good thing because a manager like him keeps you on your toes, gets you up for every game and gets the best out of the players. It is going to take time to get everything right but I think things are going okay at the moment.”
Love on the rocks Crafty?
Saw this on a Celtic forum.
My friend came across an article somewhere (he can't recall) of a 16 year old kid playing for our old pals, St. Pauli. He wa born in Germany of Turkish/Irish parents (think his mother was Irish).
He's been banging in the goals for the youths (over 100 a year!). Ireland, Turkey and Germany are all trying to get him to commit to each respective country.
Has anyone heard of him?
There's a player called Murak Dolan playing for them:

Jesus Morrison is scoring a lot of goals
Jesus Morrison? He's hardly the saviour is he?Quote:

* I presume this is the ex-Arsenal guy who played or us at underage before playing for England underage too, or is it someone else?

Holland's first of the season

JJ's second in a row
Coventry haven't lost a game when Leon Best scores
Yeah, that's him, he's on loan there at the moment.Quote:
