Wee Correction - the man utd player is Kyle Moran not morgan.. :p
An update on the Irish at Arsenal. Here's what the reserve coach had to say after the Spurs match:
Stephen O'Donnell scored Arsenal's only goal against Palace last night too. Sean Kelly came off the bench.Quote:
on Patrick Cregg's progress...
“He scored a well worked goal tonight. We had some good patches of play and we got inbetween their midfield and the back players. From there I wanted them to make runs to get in behind them and Patrick scored a goal doing just that. I think Patrick has done ever so well. He's only a teenager but he's played at Manchester United and made some great strides this season. That's all you can do for the manager.”
on Anthony Stokes' individual goal...
“Stokes scored a very good individual goal. He did ever so well, showed great persistence and skill and got his reward. He worked really hard again and finishes well."
on Stokes adapting to a new position...
“Stokes is adding to his game all the time and what we're trying to produce is an intelligent footballer. The manager talks a lot about football intelligence and the players are taking up the challenge. It's important they get a football education. You don't know where they will end up as players so when they go out there and do a job for the team they can function in different positions."
Marcos Painter was sent off for Birmingham reserves against Fulham. Stephen Foley and James O'Connor started for Villa and O'Connor hit the bar.
Darren Potter ran the show for Liverpool reserves (Partridge was in the original lineup but was replaced by Warnock yesterday afternoon which most likely was down to injury). On-loan Colin Doyle started for Nottm Forest:
Quote:
Forest took the lead in the match on the hour mark but Liverpool were level within three minutes through a cool penalty from Foy after Potter was brought down.
Potter was a class act throughout the match and his passing and probing was a big feature of Liverpool's performance. He combined well in the centre of midfield with captain John Welsh who played a deeper role to allow Potter to dictate the play.
Liverpool made a bright start in the match and Mark Smyth was denied a goal by a fine save from Colin Doyle after brilliant approach play from Darren Potter.
Another superb pass from Potter almost produced a goal for Liverpool but Robbie Foy in a great position was unlucky to see Doyle deny him with a superb diving save.
Within three minutes Liverpool were level courtesy of a Robbie Foy penalty. Superb skill from Potter saw him brought down in the area and a penalty was awarded. As cool as you like Foy sent Doylethe wrong way from 12 yards.
Liverpoolfc.tv Man of the Match: Darren Potter. Classy display in midfield and his passing was superb.
Full report
Paddy MCCarthy, Willo Flood started and Karl Bermingham came on for MAn City reserves in a 4-1 defeat to their Blackburn counterparts. Read the report here
No mention of Stephen Ireland, although the youth team are playing in the FA youth cup tonight and AFAIK he's still qualified to play for them

Spurs don't seem to have their reserve report up yet so this is taken from the West Ham site:
Yeates made the first team bench on Saturday and Jol was at the West Ham match so it shouldn't be long before he gets his chance.Quote:
Unfortunately for Kevin Keen’s men it was a sign of things to come. Six minutes later Mark Yeates cut in from the left and curled a fabulous effort past Burch to put Spurs ahead.
Yeates tested Burch again five minutes later, his free-kick deflecting off the West Ham wall before finding its way through to the Hammers goalkeeper. With the home side struggling to find their rhythm, Spurs went further ahead just before half-time. Yeates’ through-ball released Jamie Slabber who scored with a cool finish to send Kevin Keen’s men in 2-0 down at the break.
Saul Deeney was on the telly the other night for Notts County vs Swindon. Wayne Henderson wasn't allowed to play to avoid being cup-tied.
maybe theyre should be a list of irish people playing in ireland.............................
Willo Flood and Paddy McCarthy played for the Man City reserves in a defeat to Bolton last night, Willo Flood appeared to be running the show according to the match report, and scored in the penalty shoot out, McCarthy missed his penalty. Pity, he has a decent rep for free kicks.
Quote:
City lost out to Bolton Wanderers in the Manchester Senior Cup after the game went to a penalty shoot out.
The match at SportCity ended 1-1 and so went to a penalty shoot out which was won by the visitors.
City opened brightly with Willo Flood making a mazy run towards the Bolton box, his final shot was blocked and Bradley Wright-Phillips sent the rebound wide of the post.
However it was Bolton who took the lead with possibly their only real foray of the game on the City goal mouth. Dale Whitehead coasted in at the far post to head home Reda Kribib’s left wing cross.
Wright-Phillips had a great chance to level the scores when Bolton’s Danny Livesey slipped.
The City striker and the side’s top scorer ran onto Marc Lairds pass but Andy Oakes in the Wanderers goal produced a fine save diving to his left to keep out Wright-Phillips shot.
Both Christian Negouai and Micah Richards, in his first full appearance for the reserves, both went close as City pressed forward for an equaliser.
As the side stepped up the pressure Andy Oakes kept out a rasping shot from Flood.
City were handed a lifeline on fifty six minutes when the referee spotted a pushing incident in the box.
Bradley Wright-Phillips stepped up to score from the penalty spot sending the keeper the wrong way.
The hitman should have then given his side the lead but could only look on with despair as he flashed a header from a Flood cross wide of the post.
In the final piece of action in the game Oakes kept out a curling free kick from Flood to send the game to penalties.
Teams:
Manchester City: Weaver, Lee-Matthews, Collins, Negouai, McCarthy, Onuoha, Flood, Richards, Bermingham, B Wright-Phillips, Laird
Subs: Schmeichel (GK), Warrender, N D’Laryea, Bennett, Miller
Bolton Wanderers: Oakes, Powell, Hill (Fojut 78), Livesey, Comyn-Platt, Campo, Whitehead, Fadiga, Buval, Vaz Te (Luisi 57), Kribib (Gibb 62)
Subs: Howarth (GK), Knowles
Penalties:
Manchester City:Flood, Collins, Onuoha all scored……..McCarthy, B Wright-Phillips missed
pointless.....99% of the ones who will make it are playing in england nowQuote:

There's a new addition to the Chelsea list on the first page and he could have asked for no better mentor(s). :)
And just to confirm what I said above:
http://www.soccercentral.ie/viewstor...&viewstory=yesQuote:
Manager, Sean McCaffrey, has included Alan Sheehan (Leicester City), James Simmonds (Chelsea), Billy Clarke (Ipswich Town), Diarmuid O’Carroll (Celtic) and David Elebert (Preston), none of the five featured in the UEFA Championships First Qualifying Phase in Cyprus in October last.
Simmonds has played for England at underage level a good few times but chose Ireland in the end. Maybe Duffer persuaded him. He's only 17 and a regular in the Chelsea reserves.
Leon Best isn't in the squad so it looks like he chose England. If thats the case hopefully its a good swap deal and Simmonds runs riot.
I see John Paul Kelly is listed as being with Ipswich now, so that's official? Last I heard he was only interesting them, didn't know he had signed
no, I think he's training with them atm. Still has a couple of trials to do.Quote:

Robbie Keane scored a decent goal today.
Mahon's goal was a real gem by all accounts - Kav had a great shot from very far out, just clipped over the bar apparently.
Maybury played about 30 mins for Leicester (came on as a sub), Connolly played the whole match but didnt score - as did Morrison (for B'ham v Leeds).
Think Zat Knight scored for Fulham at Watford... but I dont see him playing for us anyway.
Other players who played full 90
Kennedy (Wolves v Millwall)
Stack (above)
Garry "remember me?" Kelly (B'ham v Leeds)
Delap (N'hampton v S'hampton)
Neil Kilkenny (for Oldham v Man City) - think he's Irish, on loan from Villa or B'ham ?
Gallen (for QPR v Forest)
The Doc™ (for Norwich at West Ham - in def for 80 mins then they chucked him up front apparently)
Miller played 63 mins for Man Utd (then subbed off)
Flood came on for c.20 mins
Duffer was rested in the Chelsea v Scúnthorpe.
Zinadine Kilbane will play for Everton @ Plymouth this evening (its on TV I think). Anyone know if Plymouth have any Irish players ?
Also for those interested Levante V Valencia is on Sky tonight - could be worth watching to see how/if Harte improved as he'll face pretty good strikers (Di Viao, Corradi maybe Aimar).
Micky Evans - FC - 1.1.1973 (31)Quote:

Jay Tabb scored Brentford's second goal away to Luton.
There is an Irish player with Scarborough FC.He's from Sligo and his name is Keith Gilroy,here he is:

Also Ian Rossiter's(Finn Harps) brother Mark, is with Sunderland,also from Sligo.Altough I think he was released recently.Here he is:
http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/s...73&method=full
Not one of ours. Despite being chosen to play for various under-age squads, he's decided to take the Queen's Shilling instead. Hopefully he'll just disappear into obscurity now... ;)Quote:

Stephen Ireland, Paddy McCarthy and Karl Bermingham all played in Man City reserves' 2-1 win against Birmingham last night. McCarthy set up Bermingham for the first goal (think that's his 4th at this level), Bermingham set up the second goal and Ireland was substituted late on.
Read the match report on man city's site here
or Birmingham's review here
Great pedigree. Sounds like quite a prospect.Quote:

Can't wait until he comes on. Its incredible to think that he's almost 8 years younger than Liam Miller. He now has 5 goals for Arsenal's reserves and is their second highest scorer in just 8 starts. He's not doing as well for the U-18s though with just 3 goals in 12 starts. Nobody has more appearances than him in the Arsenal reserves+U18's this season. Also, nobody has more appearances than O'Donnell in the reserves and Cregg has the 3rd most appearances. Its like the Arsenal of the late 80's, early 90's in the reserves. ;) Stephen O'Donnell also started but didn't get a mention.
Also, a little late but Alan Dunne and Stephen Quigley both scored 2 in Millwall's last reserve game.
im going to make it my duty to get leon bests fone number and text him and see wat the story is with his future! i played football with him for a good few years b4 he went to county n went to skool wit him. i dont think he has chosen england btw
Was at Luton - Tranmere on Sat. Foley had a very good game for them, their fans said he'd been playing well for them over the past few seasons and its likely he (and they) will be in the Championship Next year, hes about 20 and plays at right back so hopefully he'll develop as a decent player. Keith Keane (Mid. 17 yrs old) also played was reasonable.
Think the only other Irish player they have is Steven O'Leary (Midfielder, 19).
Man City reserves thumped their United counterparts in the Manchester senior cup 5-1, with Karl Bermingham getting 4! Could have been all 5, it was an own goal from a deflected shot by Bermingham. Paddy McCarthy had a header saved, Willo Flood played after coming back from a slight groin injury.
Read the full report here
And that was some team United put out:
Manchester United: Howard, Picken, Eckersley, Hogg, Spector, Ngalula, Bellion, Jones, Ebanks- Blake, Rossi, Poole.
Half that team are would get first team football at many premiership clubs.
Heres another report:

Fair play Karl Birmingham.
don't think roy is still first choice with yeovil redgav.He has had a lot of injuries in recent months and has only just been recalled from a loan spell with a non league side to provide cover.
update he has been sold to weymouth roy obrien that is
Diarmuid O'Carroll, the fella who scored one of the goals against Italy U-19's, scored 2 goals for Celtic yesterday. They won 4-1:
Anthony Stokes seems to be playing in midfield for Arsenal's reserves these days.Quote:
O’Carroll gave the first indication of his growing threat when he turned well and jinked past the challenged of three Pars defenders to set up Quinn for a shot that, by his own high standards, was tame.
...
And, sure enough, with 26 minutes played, O’Carroll began the goal rush, rising to meet an inviting cross from Irvine and directing the ball past the wrong-footed Langfield via a wicked deflection off Steven Vinter.
There was, in fact a degree of dubiety about whether the goal should have been credited to the young Irishman or the hapless Vinter but, if there was an element of good fortune about O’Carroll’s first goal, there was nothing remotely lucky about his second.
The pass from David Fernandez to lay it on was worthy of admiration in itself, but even more impressive was the former Home Farm striker’s pace and strength in racing on to it and holding off his marker before unleashing a left-foot rocket that soared into the postage stamp corner from 20 yards.
...
Any hopes of an unlikely comeback were extinguished within seconds, however, when, following a wonderful move involving O’Carroll, McParland and Wallace, Quinn lashed an unstoppable volley into the roof of the net from just outside the box.
That the second period paled in comparison to the half which had preceded it was no great surprise, given the quality of football that Celtic had produced, but there were was an enduring freedom in the Hoops play, typified by a scissors kick from O’Carroll and an audacious chip from inside his own half by Fernandez which had the Pars keeper scampering back to clutch it out of the air.
...
O’Carroll should certainly have had a hat-trick on 65 minutes, but he just couldn’t find a way past Langfield after racing on to another superb defence-splitting pass from McParland.
Jonathon Douglas scored the winner as Blackburn beat Villa 2-1.
Richie Partridge made his first appearance since his injury 6 weeks ago. James O'Connor also played in that match, WBA won 3-1.
David Cassidy from Ringsend (most people from Ringsend should no him) scored for Derby's reserves against Norwich.
Barry Corr scored and hit the crossbar as Leeds beat Bolton 2-1 last week. Keegan and Morris also played for Leeds.
Barry Roche saved Forest from a pasting against Man U with what their website describes as "heroics".
Paddy McCarthy, Stephen Ireland and Karl Bermingham all played last night for Man City reserves against Sunderland reserves. Game ended 0-0, read a report here
Ireland's first game back from injury since before christmas.
Willo Flood didn't play, could be in contention for a spot on the bench against Man Utd on sunday.
There's a striker in the reserves who's made the breakthrough recently called Ishmael Miller, although I'm not aware of any Irish connection
Birmingham has join Lincoln on a months loan.Quote:

He’s got a decent goalscoring record and will give us that presence we haven’t had."

BTW, Sunderland's Niall Flynn and Stephen Elliott have just had terrible attempts at the crossbar challenge. :D
Paddy McCarthy and Willo Flood played in Man City reserves' draw with Middlesbrough reserves. McCarthy was at fault for the goal, and Flood had a shot on target. No senior game this weekend, but I expect Flood to be on the bench against Norwich next saturday, he scored against them at the City of Manchester Stadium earlier in the season.
Read the match report here
Karl Bermingam was on the bench for Lincoln as they beat Cambridge 2-1 but didn't come on
leon best was in nottingham last nite at his sisters party.....
he pulled out of the ireland squad the other month as he was under the impression that he was going to be put on the bench and wasn't having any of it....and theres no chance of him playing for england altho he has been asked!
Darren O'Dea played in Celtic's reserves 3-0 win against Rangers reserves last night, got cut down late in the game by Namouchi, who was given a straight red for the tackle.
Match report here
That's great to hear...Quote:

David Cassidy is being let go by Derby and might be joining Boh's. I don't even think he'll make it at Boh's tbh unless he's really improved at Derby.
Does anyone know how Karl Moore at Man City is doing he is 16 or 17 and I have not seen him in the Ireland U 17 For a while
Can't help you there unfortunately, there's very little reviews of acadamy games on the official site, are you sure about the spelling, even google isn't coming up with anything!Quote:
