Ryan O'Leary, Irish u-19,(David's nephew, Pearse's son) was on the subs bench for Kilmarnock today, he was with Aberdeen last year so I guess his time as a prospect has now passed.
good to hear about the interest on Patrick Cregg from Celtic, maybe Stephen Bradley could follow suit.
According to soccerbase.com, there's only one Anthony Stokes, although he is listed as being English.Quote:

Not saying this is gospel, it's quite possible there's another player with the same name, but soccerbase is usually a reliable resource for this sort of thing.

I saw a story on a Tony Stokres on BBC recently and it was clear it wasn't the Irish one. Can't remember the clubs involved.
Anyone know if Marcos Painter at Brum is injured? He hasn't even been on the bench yet this season. Likewise young Adam Rooney at Stoke. Injured?
Maybe another possible future striker?, Anthony Mason at Plymouth, "highly rated" according to Teamtalk

Today's Times (UK) named Darren Randolph as its player of the day in League One, citing several excellent saves and putting his photo in its weekly ''The Game'' supplement.
Last weekend's Observer (Guardian on Sunday basically) had a small feature on & interview with Shane Supple.
I think the goalkeeping future looks bright with these too teenagers already making an impression, not to mention the current U21 keepers.
Is Shane Supple injured, he wasn't in the Ipswich squad. Neither was Garvan.
Garvan is still ill. Supple is injured I think:

Good to see that David van Zantan, ex Tolka Rovers schoolboy, has clocked up over 101 appearances with St Mirren in the SPL.
According to the FAI, he's going there on loan until the end of the year, but there's nothing about it on Arsenal or Falkirk's website.Quote:

Hopefully he does well for them. It's a strange move but I get to see a lot more SPL football than Championship football so I'll be able to keep an eye on him. First up is Rangers after the international break. :)
leicester v southend 1-0
McCarthy was the only Irishman to start this one for leicester, with Maybury not making the 16 at all and Logan keeping his place on the bench despite Rab Douglas being back in training during the week.
McCarthy and his defensive colleagues were on top throughout this one, restricting the visitors to one clearcut sight of goal which was missed spectacularly.he also showed good pace when isolated one on one, catching the player and having the composure to control it and turn the player when being disposessed would surely have cost a goal, it was a very polished piece of play. he did however miss a half-decent chance from a corner and frustratingly was booked again, this time for repeated offences when challenging in the air, he then ran off before the ref had issued the yellow and was reluctant to come back to take the booking, despite the ref's incerasing impatience and this only made the situation worse with the ref giving him a clear final warning, he would have been better served to just take the yellow and shut up, as the ref had warned him prior to this about his arial jostling. it was his 3rd yellow in 6 games thus far this season, but his defence has now kept 3 consecutive clean sheets and the side is unbeaten in 4.
Kevin Maher captained southend, had a busy game, under the cosh for most of it struggling to set posession up outside their own half.
Garry Breen played for Man City's reserves as they beat Liverpool's second string 1-0. Karl Moore was an unused sub. Actually neither the Liverpool nor the Man City review mention any substitutions, which would be extremely odd.

Liverpool review: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drill...60829-2051.htm
<EDIT>
Moore did come on as a late sub and played the last 7 minutes
Kind of thought Keith Andrews would make it, guess not, from Wolves to Stoke to Hull, now Milton Keynes

See that Fulham have bid 750k for Kilbane
U-19 International Ian Morris leaves Leeds for Sc*nthorpe for an undisclosed fee.
Okay that link won't work because of the c*nt thingy. http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?si...2&stid=8421383. Try this
Quite the Irish contingent at the Irons now - Morris, Keogh, Joe Murphy, Cliff Byrne and Jim Goodwin.
Goodwin and Murphy have senior caps, Keogh has been talked about here for a while now and is still fairly young. I don't know much about Morris, any Leeds fans care to enlighten us?
Donal McDermott was a substitute as a young Man City side were thumped 5-1 by an experienced Rochdale second XI.
McDermott came on in the second half, and was described as "quality" by the Rochdale review.

Jonathon Douglas back to Leeds, don't know if it's another loan, but it's better for him.
Bad news for Elliott and Murphy if what I hear is true...Dwight Yorke to Sunderland (maybe good for Elliott, but not for Murphy)
haven't seen it posted here,
Cillian Sheridan scored twice for Celtic's reserves last week against Hibs for Celtic's U-19's as the won 3-1. Paul Skinner played in goals for the Bhoys.

Jim O'Brien scored the equaliser for the reserves against St Mirren
on tuesdau night, in a game the Celtic second string went on to win 2-1. Darren O'Dea started in defence and Diarmuid O'Carroll came on in the second half with 29 minutes to go.

McGeady article, well worth a read:
http://celticfcblog.blogspot.com/200...-has-come.html
David Connolly and Liam Miller --> Sunderland
Worrlying times for Stephen Elliot and Murphy with Connolly and Dwight Yorke bound to command starting places in Roy Keane's Sunderland team.
Murphy more than Elliott I think, and Yorke played the holding role in the World Cup, so it's not clear yet where he'll play at Sunderland
Even still. Can't see Connolly and Elliots starting many games together. A very "Diminutive" forward pairing to say the least..
Jim O'Brien scored 2 for Celtic's reserves today against Inverness, they won 2-0. He partnered Diarmuid O'Carroll up front with O'Dea at the back.
Alan Sheehan has been loaned to Mansfield for a month.
here, http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...93345,00.html?
Looks like the Sunderland fans agree with me

anthony stokes is in line to make his falkirk debut tomorrow against rangers at ibrox. probably not ideal circumstances for a young irish catholic to be making his debut!
It seems Darren O'Dea is now Celtic reserve team captain.

His partner in the centre of the defence is Scott Cuthbert who captained the Scotland U19s to the final of the U19 European championships in the summer.
It's a good sign if O'Dea was chosen as captain over Cuthbert considering there's only a few months between them.
Andy Reid started for Charlton, got hurt and came off after 30. Holland on the bench
Carsley started for Everton, his long range effort lead to Johnson's goal
Given, Carr, Duff start for Newcastle
Paddy Kenny starts at Sheff U, Alan Quinn on the bench
Colin Healy started at Barnsley
Colin Doyle on the bench at Birmingham
James O'Connor and Alan Mahon start for Burnley, Aidan Davison (Irish?) for Colchester
Michael Doyle and Kevin Thornton (Irish?) start for Coventry, Doherty starts for Norwich
Cunningham, Delap, Miller, Kavanagh, Connolly start for Sunderland...Elliott on the bench. Kavanagh and Connolly both have assists. Fans are singing "Only One Keano" right now. Miller and Connolly have been singled out by the commentators as being "too much to handle for Derby"
Alex Bruce, Alan Lee, Jonathan Macken start for Ipswich, Billy Clarke on the bench...Clarke has scored
Kennedy starts for Cyrstal Palace, Morrison on the bench
Sean St. Ledger starts at Preston, Stephen McPhail starts for Cardiff, Willo Flood on the bench
Glenn Whelan starts at Sheffield Wednesday
Paul McShane starts at West Brom, Paddy McCarthy starts for Leicester
Huddesfield now have Michael Collins and Tom Clarke (not sure about either's Irish-ness)
Colin Larkin on the bench for Chesterfield
James O'Connor and Sean Thornton for Doncaster
Wayne Henderson on the bench at Brighton
Andy Keogh started at S****horpe
Wes Hoolahan starts at Blackpool
Barry Conlon hit a penalty for Darlington (he has said he would never play for Stan, so it doesn't really matter at this point)

What grievance has Barry Conlon got with Staunton?
Not sureQuote:

Anybody have any idea how Adam Rooney is getting on at Stoke? Is he injured?
I can only guess that Rooney's been injured. AFAIK, yesterday was the first time this season he's even made the bench.
Billy Clarke scoring was the highlight of yesterday for me.
Maybe he was just being realistic. He probably should just have said ''I'll never play for Ireland''. Barry Conlon is not the answer lads!Quote:

It seems Kavanagh had an excellent debut:

"best peformance by a sunderland player i have seen for sometime, he was everywhere yesterday."
Most would say the championship is his level judging by his performances for Ireland but he has played well against the likes of Arsenal. Pity about his age as if he hasn't earned a place in the Ireland team by now he's not going to improve from here.
