Irish Abroad for Tuesday, 22 April 2008: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroa...ate=2008-04-22
Andy Keogh scored his eleventh goal of the season
Stephen Ward made his first appearance for Wolves since 19 January 2008
Irish Abroad for Wednesday, 23 April 2008: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroa...ate=2008-04-23
Andy Jackson was introduced as a substitute for the eighth time, and was sent off later in the same game for the first time this season
Cillian Sheridan scored an equaliser to take Celtic to the extra time in the Youth Cup final but Rangers won in the end.
If Rangers reach the UEFA cup final Celtic will have to play on the 22nd May which would rule McGeady out of the Serbia game. He sounded like he couldn't wait for the training camp so let's hope Fiorentina knock Rangers out. :)
Other way around eb, Sheridan scored first, and Rangers equalised in injury time,Quote:

Cheers didn't realise it was Rangers that equalised.
Sheridan has some mop of hair in that picture going up for a header.Quote:

Wolves can easily get in to the playoffs this year, if Ebanks-Blake keeps on doing what he is doing we can get up. Also I'd be surprised if WBA stay up next year (that of course begs the question if Breen will still be at Wolves or in football at that point)Quote:

Aiden McGeady, Stephen Quinn, Alan Sheehan and David Forde started the most wins - four
All of Sheehan's wins were away from home
Robbie Keane started the most draws, with four
JJ O'Toole and Wes Hoolahan both lost three games, more than any other midfielder
Stephen McPhail and Dean Kiely started the most games, both players were in the starting XI seven times
Kiely went on to complete all of these games, topping the completed games list
Robbie Keane started four games in April (two home, two away) but failed to complete both away games
Similarly Stephen Ireland started three home games and was substituted in all of them
John O'Shea was introduced from the bench four times, every other introduced defender only came off the bench once
A frugal month in front of goal for the Irish, with only three players - Leon Best, Noel Hunt and Jon Macken - getting more than one goal
Macken's goals both led to wins for Barnsley

what a fantastic goal by keane today, hammered on halfway and got up to storm forward and finish splendidly. one of his best in recent memory!
O Dea left on the bench again today as Balde was chosen to replace injured McManus.Despite getting praise for his performance when he came on against Rangers still no place for Darren.He must realise now he is wasting his time in Glasgow
He also had another perfectly legit goal ruled offside.Quote:

Shane McFaul released by Brighton.

From todays F365 roumers... Tottenham hope to beat Newcastle to the signing of Celtic winger Aiden McGeady and Crystal Palace are leading the chase to sign Colchester winger Mark Yeates.
Gary Breen leaves Wolves, Elliot and Potter made available for transfer
Stack and Gibson return to Reading and Man United, respectively
Report here: http://www.wolves.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...308842,00.html
Paul Heffernan got himself sent off from the 1st leg of the League 1 playoff final with one of the stupidest moves I've ever seen. He's out for the 2nd leg now as well
Ian Harte linked with Ipswich.

Kevin Doyle scored his sixth of the season, and his first since 8 December 2007
Damien Duff started his first game since 8 March 2008
Richard Dunne was sent off for the second time this season
Stephen Gleeson scored his first of the season
Cillian Sheridan made his first appearance of the season
I'll be compiling the season stats over the next few weeks, if there's anything you'd like to see, let me know
Thanks for the service this season tets.First thing I look for on the web every Monday.
Overall I have to say its been a pretty disapointing season for Irish players abroad.Kevin Doyle losing his scoring touch.Darren O Deas non breakthrough at Celtic after great progress previous season.Terry Dixons alleged retirement due to injury,Paul McShane etc etc.
Highlights-Stephen Irelands early season form but we all know his situation.In fairness Robbie and McGeady have had good seasons with their clubs.Stephen Reids successful return from injury could be crucial.Andy Reid maybe worth a mention.Transfer window could be interesting regarding the likes of Doyle and Garvan.
Yes. Thank you Tets.Quote:

No exciting breakthroughs either (Scannel's green shoots aside).
Retirements etc.
I've just seen Gleeson's goal in the League 2 playoff semi-final, it was a tremendous strike. Maybe the keeper should have done a little better
Yeovil Town have agreed a deal with Everton to sign Irish youngster Aidan Downes.
Boss Russell Slade has been impressed by the 19-year old and told BBC Somerset:
"I have agreed a deal in effect with Everton - he is on a free but there is a sell-on clause
Scored a great goal a few weeks back, perhaps one for the futureQuote:

According to BBC Sport, Jim Magilton is to let Billy Clarke leave this summer because he can't guarantee him first team football. What happened to this guy? 18 months ago Liverpool were linked to a £2 Million move for him.
Caleb Folan scored for Hull against Watford in the playoff final, his goal ensured they'd be going to Wembley. He's been Hull's supersub this season
Lads what about that Doyle lad that scored for Hull also >??
