Blackpool review: http://www.blackpoolfc.premiumtv.co....284953,00.html
O'Shea overlooked in the centre of defense in favour of Pique, alongside Ferdinand.
If I were O'Shea I'd be packing my bags in the summer, but I've got a feeling he'll stick around for his 15 minutes of fame each week.
Cillian Sheridan scored twice as Celtic beat Hibernian 4-1 in the quarter final of the Scottish Youth Cup. Paul Skinner was in goals for the Hoops, Paul Cahillane also played.

Irish Abroad for Wednesday, 9 April 2008: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroa...ate=2008-04-09
Gary Dicker scored his first of the season, unfortunately it was an OG!
John O'Shea came off the bench for the 16th time this season! He's also started 17 games for Manchester United
you'd seriously wonder what the lad must be thinking. This time last week he was first choice off the bench but this week he's been leapfrogged by not one, but two defenders (Silvestre and Pique)....If he doesn't do something in the summer it'll just confirm everyone's suspicions that he's in it for the money and title of "Manchester United squad player"Quote:

Keogh extends Robins loan deal
Bristol City defender Richard Keogh has extended his loan spell at League One outfit Cheltenham Town until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old has made six appearances for the League One side since moving to Whaddon Road on an initial month-long deal in March.
"Richard has been a tremendous asset for us. It's a big plus to have him for the rest of the season and I'm thankful again to (Bristol City manager) Gary Johnson for loaning him to us," Cheltenham boss Keith Downing told his club's official website.
"Richard has struck up a good understanding with Shane Duff from day one and I think they are as good a centre-back pairing as any in the division."
Ronaldo and Rooney leepfrogged too? Ferguson always rotates his squad for CL games that don't count for anything, don't see why this would be any different.Quote:

Karl Moore, Garry Breen, Michael Daly and Paul Marshall all started for Man City's reserve side in their 2-1 loss to Liverpool's reserves. Ian Daly was and unused sub.

I am just surprised that there is not more.
Paul Marshall and Karl Moore started for Man City's reserves in their 1-0 win over Sunderland's second string. Michael Daly, Garry Breen and Greg Cunningham were unused subs for the blues. Ian Harte, Anthony Stokes and Billy Dennehy started for Sunderland, while Gavin Donoghue was introduced as a second half substitute.
Stokes had a first half strike ruled out for the Black Cats
Moore was played out of position at left full, and the reserve manager, Ian Miller, had this to say:

Donal McDermott: A Republic of Ireland International who loves to attack from wide positions often to devastating effect.
Ben says…“Donal's a great player and another one that you don’t like to defend against in training. Despite being a tricky winger he’s a strong lad too and both him and Vlad have done well all season and won us most of our games. They’ve scored goals and made plenty as well – they both love their tattoos – and Donal loves his expensive gear too.
Ian Daly: A Republic of Ireland International striker and second year YT. His strength is his ability on the ball and Ian has one goal from his one appearance during the campaign.
Ben says…“Another one unlucky not to have been in the team too much during this run. Ian’s a really good player with great feet and can score goals. He loves a bit of banter too and is one of our funniest lads with his impressions and sense of humour.”
News on Dom Foley (from UEFA Mini News site)
KAA Gent reached the Belgian Cup final after a 4-0 second-leg win over Eerste Klasse leaders R. Standard de Liège gave them a 6-2 aggregate victory. Trond Sollied's side took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Dominic Foley. Goals from Bryan Ruiz in the 68th minute, Massimo Moia (70) and Gill Vermouth (82) completed the triumph. Gent will now meet either KFC Germinal Beerschot Antwerpen or RSC Anderlecht in the final on 17 May.
Did anyone watch the FA youth Cup last night? How did our lads get on?
Daly didn't play, McDermott played as an outside-left striker. Few decent shots and one in particular drew a great save from the Chelsea keeper at 1-1.

Thanks Tets. Is he still with Man United or have they released him? If Cheltenham were thinking of taking him on loan from Man U I wouldn't have thought they would list him as a trialist.Quote:

My guess is that they are releasing him at the end of the season but they've given him an opportunity before then to find a new club to go to.
He was released by Man Utd.

Seems to have impressed the reserve team manager at Colchester: http://www.colchester.vitalfootball....e.asp?a=106497
Quote:
'He is from the Manchester United academy and you could certainly see that his movement was excellent.'
'Chris has a willingness to run and learn - his contribution was good but he was probably a bit frustrated that he couldn't get on the ball more than he did.
'He has played two games for us now and the manager will decide what happens next.'

alsoQuote:
WES HOOLAHAN
He might not have been as effective as last season (but it would have been nigh on impossible to match his tremendous first season in English football), but don't under-estimate the winger's contribution to the Seasiders' cause.
Even at a higher level, he has pulled many a defence apart and created chances for team-mates.
He's also chipped in with six goals (all scored before Christmas), including that most wonderful of chips from the penalty spot at Preston.
Still only 25, we can only hope he's still at Blackpool next season, though I wouldn't hold your breath.
Quote:
OTHERS TO CONSIDER:
Ben Burgess has scored more goals than anyone elsein a Blackpool shirt this season
and has shed blood and plenty of sweat for the Tangerine cause.
Happened to notice that Hoolahan got a write up in either Shoot or Match magazine recently. (my sons copies! before anyone starts)
Dont worry mate your with friends here.;)Quote:

He's a goalkeeper and was born exactly 6 months before me, thats all I know
His father was born in England so if Dean qualified through his grandparents would Chris not be eligible?
