Quote:
Things were a bit frustrating at Fulham, especially after enjoying success with Swindon last season with automatic promotion last term," he said.
"I played in a lot of the games under Lawrie Sanchez, went to the Far East on tour with them and played quite a bit. There was then a change of management and when Roy Hodgson came in it became clear that I would be allowed to move out on loan."
Billy Clarke scored today for Falkirk
Paul marshall named mcfc reserves player for 2 months running but not picked for the u19s v france very strange from Sean McCaffrey ?

Noel Hunt opens the scoring in the Scottish League Cup Final.
Willo Flood was probably the best player on the park today. He had a great game.
Irish Abroad for Sunday, 16 March 2008: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroa...ate=2008-03-16
Stephen Ireland scored his third of the season. All three goals have come at home, and Man City have gone on to win all three games
Robbie Keane notched his twenty-first goal of the season in the same game. He has now scored more away from home than at White Hart Lane
Noel Hunt opened the scoring in the Scottish League Cup final with his sixteenth of the season, unfortunately Dundee United went on to lose on penalties. Willo Flood converted his penalty
ah-ha:
Speaking to Ipswich World after the game, Owen said: "I just looked up and didn't see anyone in the box, so I just decided to hit it across the goal and it went in, so you can make your own mind up about it."
:D
I was at the CIS final and it was excellent. Rangers didn't get a sniff during 1st half. Fantastic performance from Noel(and the United team) yesterday. Took his goal very well. Unforunate to limp off injured in 2nd half from a challenge on halfway line that took him out. . Could have been a different story if the referee hadn't bottled it on the penalty decision.
Hunt was brilliant but Willo Flood, or as the announcer called him Wee-low!, was outstanding. Best performance in midfield I have seen from an Irish player in quite some time. For the size of Willo, smallest player on pitch, the Rangers team couldn't deal with him-even kicking hm several times and he just got back up! Sean Dillon was on bench but didn't get a run.
Hope United keep these two lads+ also rest of team together next season-I got a feeling some bigger teams are going to come knocking.
