so these questions have been answered correctly (let me know if I have the wrong username, think I've attributed them all correctly)
Leaving these questions to be answered. I've added in some hintsQuote:

Hint: One was quite recent, the other was early in Trapattoni's reign, in Croke Park
Pilkington v Sweden, Caleb Folan v Cyprus
Quote:
Only one player made his debut in an away game under Trapattoni. Name the player and the opposition? Again, the friendlies in London are designated as "home" games for Ireland on fifa.com
Hint: it's a recent game, and wasn't the first time Trapattoni had played them
Darren Randolph?

thanks, I don't think I'd have the time (and probably the patience!) for a book, so for now the occasional blog post is enough for meQuote:

This seems to be it, all seven posts: http://foot.ie/threads/178794-Darren-RandolphQuote:

..unlikely.Quote:

Who are the nine Donegal players mentioned by Curran to have played professional football in England since the Second World War? Shay Given, Séamus Coleman, Carl McHugh, Gary Doherty, Stephen McLaughlin?... Billy Gillespie played league football in England but that was between 1910 and 1933. I'm assuming the likes of Shane Duffy, Ciaran Clark, James McCarthy, Aiden McGeady, Ray Houghton and Rory Delap aren't counted.Quote:

Joe Coll, the keeper who left United recently?
Huddersfield to sign Cork's Danny Morrissey it seems.
http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/socc...rissey-2362024
He's been watched by a few Wigan scouts recently too. Not surprising to see Huddersfield lurking after Jake Carroll walked into their team.
so these questions remain unanswered, here's the answers
Only one player made his debut in an away game under Trapattoni. Name the player and the opposition? Again, the friendlies in London are designated as "home" games for Ireland on fifa.com
Hint: it's a recent game, and wasn't the first time Trapattoni had played them
Paddy Madden VS Wales, August 2013
Two debutants scored in the same game twice in Trapattoni's reign. When was the last time two debutants scored in the same game before Trapattoni's reign?
Hint: the game was played in the 70's, one of the players involved would be really well known, I'd genuinely never heard of the other player
Turkey 3-3 Ireland, October 1976. Joe Waters and Frank Stapleton
No assistance on this one http://t.co/lYdey8xmMx
Hint: the clue is in the question
It's a graph of players assists under Trapattoni, the big circle is McGeady
Robbie Keane is the top goalscorer under Trapattoni, but what players were the top scoring midfielder and defender? Note - there's two midfielders and two defenders with the same number of strikes, one of each is acceptable as an answer
Andrews (WexCar) Dunne (Charlie Darwin)
Two more to get here, no hints.
Keith Fahey (3) and St Ledger(3)
So all this came from research I've been doing for an infographic on Trapattoni's reign. The final graph is here: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog
You can mouseover pretty much everything to kick off some animations containing more information, and the numbers in the "Overall Record" section can be clicked on. Enjoy, and share.

Wouldn't bank on the FAI knowning a whole lot, some nice talent there
Was wondering why Cody Mulhall wasn't involved with the U19's recently, one quick google later and he's torn his cruciate ligament and is out for the season: http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.co...-off-1-3140547

Solid weekend for our younger players. Goal and an assist for Kieran Sadlier and a goal each for Kenny McEvoy and John O'Sullivan.
Nigel Clough appointed Sheffield United manager, taking over a situation very similar to the one he inherited at Derby. Clough had a lot of time for the young, hard-working Irishmen at Derby (he seems to favour attitude over outright ability, as his acquisition of Conor Sammon suggests) and was helped by a very strong youth system. There are a few Irish underage players on the books at Sheffield United, with Sean McGinty in the first team squad, Aaron Barry (not to be confused with Ann and Barry) on loan at Dumbarton, and Connor Dimaio and Joel Coustrain in the academy.
Cian Bolger gone on loan to Colchester for a month. Quite a few of our young CB prospects loaned out in the lower leagues at present.

I emailed the FAI about these guys at info@fai.ie but didn't get any reply. I know some posters have had replies from the FAI about eligible players - just wondered what email they used?Quote:

I'm tempted to block him on principle alone
Loan extended, playing regularly.Quote:

Came across this in relation to Brighton & Hove Albion's Will Buckley at the end of an article about Aiden McGeady: http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3942/...rs-for-mcgeady
Quote:
Brighton and Hove Albion winger Will Buckley has revealed his intentions to play international football.
The 23-year-old winger, who has had spells at Rochdale and Watford, qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his maternal grandparents and admitted that he would be keen to play internationally.
"Everyone wants to play international football," Buckley told the Argus. "For the last two years it has probably been a bit rare for Brighton to have as many players as we've had travelling on an international break to their respective countries.
"It's good for the club and good for the lads. It's the key part of your career, the top really."
One of their better players isn't he ?Quote:

He's still only 23 and would be another option on the wing if he was indeed interested in declaring. His comments suggested he was keen on playing international football but they didn't specify for whom, despite his eligibility to play for us.Quote:

Ronan Finn linked with Burnley on football365's gossip this morning, can't find a report on it though
That's been going around for a couple of weeks now. He played in a closed-doors friendly for them yesterday it seems.
Colchester and Bristol Rovers are supposedly interested in taking Connor Smith on loan which would be a good move as he is not getting a game at Watford, while Watford are interested in Patrick Bamford.
sutherland did his cruciate unfortunately gone back to qpr
Torquay and Barnsley are after David Cawley of Sligo and Horgan of Cork
Torquay would be a real step down for either player. I'd expect them to set their sights a bit higher.
