milwall v leicester 0-1
McCarthy played and captained the side, leicester conceded 4 in 2 while he was suspended recently, taking 3 points in the process, since he has come back the side has conceded 1 in 2 taking 6 points as the season turnaround continues.
Maybury again played in right-midfield.
Logan lost his place on the bench to the fit-again Douglas,despite a clean sheet in the midweek reserve win over fulham
For millwall, Dunne played with Doyle on the bench
I've seen questions raised about where leadership is going to come from, and in particular questions about the ability and commitment of Dunne.
Richard Dunne had an outstanding game tonight, epitomised great leadership and ability.
Frankly it's a few years since I've seen the character, at centre back, which Dunne displays, almost back to Moran and Co.
Jim O'Brien scored 2 for Celtic reserves tonight. O'Dea also started.
Matthew Connolly started in defence alongside Sol Campbell for Arsenal reserves against a Charlton reserve side with Darren Randolph, with Arsenal eventually running out 2-0 winners. No sign of Stokes, or Tracy though, anyone know if they're injured or just rested?

[QUOTE=tetsujin1979]Karl Moore and Garry Breen both played as Man City's U-18's triumphed 3-2 over Newcastle's U-18's in the FA Youth Cup. Breen had a shot stopped on the line and Moore had a goal bound shot pushed wide by the keeper. Moore's been impressing of late and was called into the reserve side a few weeks ago.QUOTE]
You're joking me, another Gary Breen? The poor fella!
Some great info here lads, keep it up, it leaves the national papers standing.

At this stage of the year, the Football Association of Ireland hold their annual Awards ceremony in Dublin. The format is very similar to the PFA awards in England when various awards are presented for outstanding achievement in different age groups. I am delighted to inform you that our young player, Donal McDermott, secured the prize in the U16 category. Donal joined us from our nursery club in Dublin, Cherry Orchard and has put together a string of excellent performances both with us and of course for his country. Unfortunately, Donal suffered a broken ankle in December which obviously set him back a little, but I am pleased to report that all is well now and Donal is back doing what he does best – playing football.
RESREVES. leicester v spurs 0-2
Logan was an unused sub for leicester, but Andy Reid played the 90 for spurs and scored in the 43rd min ''blasting home an unstoppable piledriver'', he was also booked.
Alan Mahon and David Connolly lined out for Wigan's reserves on Monday night against a Liverpool reserve side, but ended up losing 2-0 despite Connolly's best efforts, including a brilliant effort in the 77th minute.
Liverpool also had Daniel O'Donnell in their line up. His profile says he was born in Liverpool, anyone know if he's eligible for Ireland?

Liverpool's academy side knocked out their Southampton counterparts in the FA Youth Cup last week to reach their first final in 10 years. James Ryan came off the bench late on for Liverpool, while Southampton included David McGoldrick in their lineup. Liverpool will play the winners of the game between Man City and Newcastle's fixture, with City leading 3-2 going into the second leg.

There's a bit of a striker crisis at City at the moment with both Samaras and Cole out for the majority of the remainder of the season, so I expect Bermingham to be given a regular start up front for the reserves after being tried out at several other positions, including right full! With any luck a substitute appearance might not be out of the question.

Garry Breen started with Karl Moore for Manchester City's youth team, while Michael Daly and Donal McDermott were unused subs, agains their Newcastle counterparts. The game finished 1-1 so for the second year running, there will be a significant Irish presence in the FA Youth Cup final.

Royals wary of party-poopers
Striker Kevin Doyle has urged his Reading teammates not to take promotion for granted when they take on Leicester City tomorrow.
A win for the runaway Championship leaders at the Walkers Stadium will seal Premiership football for the Royals.
And, depending on results elsewhere, Steve Coppell's men could even secure the Championship title tomorrow.
But Republic of Ireland international Doyle has warned that victory against a City side rejuvenated under Rob Kelly will not be easy.
“Since their new manager has taken over they've been on a good run of form,” said Doyle, who is the Championship's fourth-top scorer with 14 goals.
“We had a tough game at home against them over Christmas and we know it won't be easy.
“We won that game 2-0 but only with two second-half goals.
“This will not be an easy game to try and get promoted in,” he told his club's website.
It is a message echoed by his boss Coppell.
Despite it becoming increasingly clear in recent weeks and months that Reading will be playing top-flight football next season, Coppell has refused to publicly admit as much.
The experience of last season, when Reading fell away badly after Christmas, has prompted him to keep his counsel.
And even now Reading are on the cusp of promotion, Coppell is playing a straight bat.
“Inevitably, between now and Saturday, I'm sure everyone will be talking about the consequences of this game,” he said. “I hope that will not take our eyes off what we've been about and get distracted.
“Under the new manager, City have been getting good results. He obviously has the respect of the players and has given them a real uplift in points accumulation.
“I'm sure it will be a very difficult game and just because of the importance of the result it doesn't mean we're guaranteed to get it.”
City are expecting their biggest attendance of the season for the visit of the champions-elect.
Reading are certain to receive a noisy backing after selling out their allocation of 3,000 tickets, and there is hope the gate will exceed 26,000 for the first time this campaign.
And while Doyle is excited about the prospect of tying up promotion to the Premiership, the 22-year-old admits to a little disappointment that it might not be achieved in front of their home support.
“I think the mood among the players is the same as for the fans,” he said.
“We're really looking forward to it.
“I must admit I only saw on Monday that a win would guarantee it for us, like a lot of people I thought one of the other teams had to lose.
“It's a little bit of a pity that the first game we can do it is away from home.
“It would be nicer to do it at our place but we won't argue too much.”
Diarmuid O'Carroll and Darren O'Dea playd for Celtic's under-19s as they saw off Livingston's U-19s 1-0 to strengthen their hold on the U-19 title for the second year running. Tim Kiely came off the bench late on to return from a long injury lay off.

No review on Livingston's site yet, I'll post it when it appears
leicester v reading 1-1
McCarthy and Maybury played the 90 for leicester the latter again in midfield and playing well, McCarthy was again captain and had a good game with 2 first half blocks on Doyle efforts from the edge of the area.he also managed a superb lastditch tackle to deprive Doyle of a one-on-one.he also headed over from a corner at the backpost.he has managed 3 games without a booking now and was busy throughout winning countless headers. the equaliser was again conceded from a flicked on corner though which has happened the leicester defence as a whole, way too often this season.
for reading, Doyle was involved throughout,with very productive use of posession,he and McCarthy had a real ding-dong of an afternoon and there were some verbals between them in the second half but a handshake at the end.despite being constantly involved, he only had one clearcut sight of goal in the entire game but he took the chance, a header, to confirm readings promotion.he was running around after the game wrapped in a tri-colour as the reading fans stayed put to celebrate with their team.
Long and Hunt also saw action with Hunt having an immediate impact with reading equalising shortly after he came on and he also drew a fine save with a powerfull dipping volley.
amusing to hear you speak of not wanting to drop to my level when its abundantly clear that what i said has sailed comfortably over your head .......and with plenty to spare by the sound of things.:DQuote:

Parkinson also insisted the decision to chalk off the late strike was wrong.
"When you watch the footage of the incident, I think the goal should have stood," he added.

I thought Willo Flood had a good game against Chelsea on Saturday, despite making a few mistakes in the first half.
Stephen Kelly was very poor last night for Spurs against West Brom. Keano was brilliant, back to his very, very best.
Sean Thornton scored for Doncaster on Saturday. Seemingly he has been out of the team after falling out with manager Dave Penney, surprise surprise. Hopefully he will take this chance to rebuild a career which has been wasted so far.
Steven Reid was excellent again on Saturday.If this guy stays injury free and continues to progress the way he is doing he will be some player.Pulled all the strings for Blackburn and scored a lovely goal.
After the match Mark Hughes said that Reid has the potential to be another Vieira, Keane or Gerrard. I think Reid already has many of Gerrard's attributes - an atheltic physique, good running ability & great ball striking. For a guy who strikes a ball so well he gets far too few goals. I think this will be self-perpetuating in Reid's case though. He's very much a confidence player. The more he gets, the more confident he'll be and so on.
Darron Gibson is in the Man Utd squad for tomorrow's match vs West Ham.
Jim O'Brien scored the first equaliser for Celtic's reserves as they defeated Livingston's second string, including Colin Healy and one-time Ireland prospect Noel Whelan, 3-2 to move closer to the reserve league title in Scotland

Livingston review: http://www.livingstonfc.co.uk/newsde...=341&type_id=2
PS Livingston's site has a link to the report of the 1-0 loss to Celtic's U-19s from the weekend but there's nothing there: http://www.livingstonfc.co.uk/newsde...id=0&type_id=2
Karl Bermingham played for Man City's reserves as they defeated Everton's reserves 3-2 with City's final goal coming from Bradley Wright-Phillips' overhead volley from a saved Bermingham effort. Bermingham was substituted shortly after this. No sign of Willo Flood, so he'll probably be in the team this weekend against Boro.

Alan O'Brien turned out for Newcastle's reserves against an Aston Villa reserve side featuring Stephen O'Halloran. The Villains were too strong for the Magpies and were 2-0 up in the first seven minutes with the game finishing 3-0. From the Newcastle report, it seems O'Brien was involved in anything decent on their part, while O'Halloran seemed to be their principle frustrator. The Villa report only mentions O'Brien taking advantage of a mistake to get a shot in on target.
