Hopefully they get to the bottom of it and he doesn't miss too much. Would hate to see him out for a long spell as he's one of our best prospects.
He's in the "boy's a bit special" feature in this month's FourFourTwo:
Part of it is online here: http://www.fourfourtwo.premiumtv.co....878516,00.html
Good lad ;)Quote:
Tunes: Not R n B and rap, that's for sure. I prefer traditional Irish music, and bands like The Pogues and U2.
I didn't know Garvan was Con Martin's grandson. That makes him Mick Martin's nephew, yes? He's got good blood, so.
I presume this has been posted before, I just came across it now, a good article about Shane Long:

Here are Captain Paddy McCarthy's musings on leicester v ipswich on sat, the sides poor start and his possible duel with Irish squad member Alan Lee.

McGeady played well again today, got Celticfc.net man of the match:
http://www.celticfc.net/newsroom/new...12_1720gk'
He hit the post and set up the 2nd goal. I watched the game and he was very lively and created a few chances. Here's the 2nd goal which seems to be taken by camera phone or the like:
http://celticfan.com/goal2.wmv
This time last year he probably would have shot there but showed good awareness to pick out Petrov.
leicester v ipswich 3-1
leicester managed their first win and goals of the new season in front of the smallest ever crowd for a league game since the move to the new stadium. the only Irish player for leicester being McCarthy, although Logan was again on the bench, with Maybury not making the 16 at all, further fuelling the rumour he is on his way out of the club. dissappointingly, despite more chopping and changing to the problem left-back position, Sheehan didnt make the 16 either.
but on the upside, a much improved 90 from McCarthy this time out, he and his defensive partner were on top throughout, with both ipswich strikers being hauled off by the hour mark.he got on with the game and never looked like coming to the refs attention,thats 2 full games booking free now. he played when it was on and put it in the stand when it wasnt and also had a header loop onto the roof of the net at the other end from a corner.not at fault in any way for the ipswich goal.
for ipswich, Supple,Bruce and Lee started with Clarke also getting half an hour.
Supple, despite being beaten 3 times, was not individually at fault for any of them and back on the scene of his league debut, again played quite well, catching securely and punching well when necessary.he kicked reasonably well. he had a couple of hairy one-on-ones where on the first one he was rounded by the player and required his covering defender to put in a truly superb challenge to prevent a goal, the other time he got to the pitch of the ball but was still disposessed by the leicester player when he might have been expected to hold it, equally you could argue, he had it, and the challenge was illegal, but the ref played on.
Bruce started the game holding the midfield, and ended it in the middle of 3 at the back as his side chased it,he looked more comfortable at the back but didnt do anything spectecularly good or bad in either slot. while in the middle he was disposessed twice in the first half as he dwelt on it and left the leicester midfielder bearing down on his centre-halves, with the 2 leicester strikers on their shoulders, thats a habit he will need to get out of if he's thinking of playing in the middle. luckily for him, neither occasion lead to a score.
Lee was very poor, he won one free kick on the edge of the area, that apart i dont recall him influencing the game at all, he flicked a couple of headers on but with no direction, he was beaten in the air on more than one occasion by smaller leicester players, and not once do i recall him doing anything of worth on the deck, even the basics of making it stick and bringing his midfield into the game,hopefully just an off day for him, as if produced this in a green shirt, id be serioulsy embarrased. he was replaced on the hour by Billy Clarke who, by then, had the thankless task of performing a miracle with the service very poor from his side, but he did well, he was lively and had a nice touch or two, he even won some usefull headers which at least got his opponents turned. he also had two nicely-bent runs flagged offside which would have seen him in one-on-one and judging by the fury of the ipswich fans away over on that side, he was unlucky to be flagged.
Cahillane scored one as Celtic U17s beat AC Milan 3-0 in a tournament in Villarreal today. They lost the previous games against Villarreal and Espanyol.Quote:

Garry Breen was not in the side at all.
Very short review on Man City's site (which is odd) but a full review, with line ups on Wrexham's site.

rowlands has scored twice in three games for qpr this season - one was a 25 yard belter from a short free kick against southend - the other a peno against leeds.he's been playing in the centre btw
Anybody know what Richie Partridge is up to these days? I heard he had a poor season with the Owls and was released at the start of the Summer.
The great man has started all 3 games for Rotherham United in League 1 this season.
There's talks of Jon Macken joining Ipswich for 300,000 sterling.
Darren Randolph on loan to Gillingham for a month.
More info here: http://www.gillinghamfootballclub.pr....html?ptvParm=
Does anyone know if Joey O'Brien is injured? He didn't line out for Bolton against Spurs.
Yeah, he didn't make the Ireland squad with an injury.Quote:

Actually, Ireland came on as a sub. My mistake.
keane, dunne, ireland, duff and given all played... shockin
dont know bout finnan ,he didnt play
chris fagan came on and scored twice for the reserve man utd team
darren randolph let in a howler at gillingham
Yeah, I was wondering about Finnan. He didn't make the match squad.
Rumours that the Owls are about to take Shane Long on loan from Reading and as Sturrock, who just mentioned a Premiership team, said "the wee laddie is having a think about it". Owls currently have no fit striker and it would be a short term deal.
Willo Flood scored an excellent goal for Cardiff at the weekend:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/kz77s8
They won 1-0 and are top of the league alongside Birmingham.
Liam Miller played for United's RESERVES as they thumped Preston 7-2 in the Lancashire Cup, he really needs to look for a move to get senior football.
The game was noteworthy for Alan Smith's first start since breaking his leg nearly 6 months ago.

plenty of paddies played last night , news on our young keepers:
randolph played for the gills, logan kept a clean sheet as leciester won , robert duggan a dub was on the bench for stoke
Oh and doyle kept a clean sheet for brum
Billy Clarke scored for Ipswich last night in Carlin Cup last night.
leicester v macclesfield 2-0
McCarthy, Maybury and Logan all started and finished this one, Maybury back in the reckoning after his move to sunderland hit some delays and is on the back burner for now.Logan made his senior debut and did all required in a game where leicester were generally fairly comfortable, he kicked very well and convincingly dealt with a couple of 'edge of the area' moments one in particular where a McCarthy backheader was well short and did him no favours at all.he also came out on top in a couple of one on ones.he didnt have many crosses to deal with as the opponents struggled to set up sustained posession beyond halfway.he had one scuffed kick from his weaker left foot which went to a opponent, but luckily it was outside shooting range.
Maybury did ok, he played at l.b. but delivered poor quality into the box on more than one occasion.not tested defensively much.
McCarthy played well within himself for the most part, he was sloppy with a couple of back-headers but generally untroubled, and he rounded his 90 off nicely with a goal from a corner near the end, he made a run to the back post and headed it low back across the goal for his first of the season, to kill the tie.
on an evening when leicester fielded 5 academy lads there was still no place in the 16 for Alan Sheehan.
match report here, with Logan recieving some praise on his debut

Donal McDermott played for Man City's reserve side as they drew 1-1 in the Pontin's League with a Chester City reserve side containing a few senior players. Neither review mentions him at all, so I can't tell how he played.

I could be wrong, but Wayside Celtic, top team in LSL, have just signed an Aidan Lyons.Quote:

Most interesting thing I saw on BBC Teletext was about Kevin Thornton who scored Coventry's late winner today. Coventry's manager was quoted on Teletext as saying something like Thornton's got all the talent in the world but has serious attitude problems and knows what he has to do to keep himself in the team. Sound familiar?
You'd think someone would be there to advise Kevin given his brother's mistakes.
Anthony Stokes due to make his loan debut for Falkirk against Rangers in a couple of weeks.
Steve Finnan started for Liverpool
Andy Reid starts for Charlton, Matt Holland on the bench
Alan Quinn on the bench for Sheff U
Keano starts at Tottenham
Kilbane + Carsley start at Everton
John O'Shea starts at Man U, Gavin Mahon starts at Watford
Doyle starts for Reading, Stack, Long and Hunt on the bench. Kavanagh and Connolly on the bench for Wigan
Darren Potter and Gary Breen start for Wolves
Updates:
Alan Mahon has scored for Burnley, David Connolly on in the 20th minute for Wigan, he had a hand in Heskey's goal according to the radio announcers...Doyle hasnt had too many chances yet, Reading isnt playing well, though apparently he is one of the best players for them so far. Kilbane has been sent off at Everton. Stephen Hunt is on for Reading, Kavanagh about to come on, Kavanagh just nearly scored, Connolly sent him clean through, Shane Long on now. All reports say Connolly played very well for Wigan, could've had 3, 4 assists, and if he wasnt offside once late, couldve scored, and that Doyle was probably man of the match for Reading, though he didnt have many chances as Reading did not play very well at all......................Andy Reid played well for Charlton, he sent Darren Bent through into the box that led to Charlton's first goal. Not much of an international prospect, but John or JJ (I think JJ's his nickname) Melligan scored for Cheltenham. Dublin-born 24-year old defender. Jason McAteer on late for Tranmere, Mark Kinsella not in the squad this week after starting every week since the beginning of the season
Soccernet reported that On loan Charlton Keeper Daren Randolph had a Superb game for Gillingham, while Wes Houlihan had an Outstanding game for Blackpool in the same match!!
I read Houlihan had a great game in the Carling cup for Blackpool this week also... How old is he at this stage???
Flood was an unused sub, he's come on in most games before this.Quote:
