My mistake, Gary's added in and will appear in all games in future
Original post updated

Tets it was discussed on the Irish abroad thread last season if McGoldrick is Irish or not and I think we came to the conclusion he's not so maybe you should remove him from your website? Then again maybe I'm wrong and he has declared/played for us since then?

Anyway some on here seemed to think he was Eddie McGoldrick's son and this was my reply:

McShane got the 3 bonus points in the premier league fantasy football (ie. he was rated as the best player on the pitch by the ex-pro's watching).

I didn't watch the game but I presume he was marking Berbatov. He seems to have an easy time against the big players. He's probably due a roasting against a speedy striker though.

I think you're right, and I'll remove him after tomorrow's games
His Wikipedia entry lists him as being of Irish descent : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_McGoldrick
I think that was my argument for his inclusion last season, but to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't officially declared, or played for any team so I'll remove him

Just a quick question. McGeady hit the post today with an overhead kick. The ball fell to Miller who scored. Would that count as an "assist" for McGeady?

No, has to be a direct pass

Colin Doyle didn't cover himself in glory from what I saw today.

Alan's disciplinary record makes interesting reading:

03/04: 4 yellow 1 red (16 games)
04/05: 2 yellow (12 games)
05/06: 11 yellow 1 red (28 games)
06/07: 12 yellow (29 games)
07/08: 1 yellow 1 red (1 game)

Total: 30 yellow and 4 red in 86 games:eek:

Given could have saved all three in my opinion (well a lot of goalies could've).

And Doyle nearly had the nightmare of all nightmares when he nearly left the country to clear a ball and Drogba was unlucky that he wasn't a bit more accurate with the following lob from the half-way line.

Irish Abroad for 12-Aug-2007
Premier League
Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
No Irish players.

Chelsea 3-2 Birmingham
Birmingham's starting players:Colin Doyle Stephen Kelly

Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Man Utd's substitutes: John O'Shea(introduced on 57 minutes)
Reading's starting players: Stephen Hunt(substituted on 87 minutes) Kevin Doyle(substituted on 72 minutes)

Scottish Premier League
Aberdeen1-1Hearts
No Irish players.

Lita is injured and out for a month and Kitson got sent off today so it gives Long a chance in the team.

I think C. Doyle could make Paddy Kenny look like a superstar if he plays like that all the time

Looks like Jay Tabb had a bit of a stormer for Coventry. Set up 3 goals according to bbc:

If he continues to perform like he did on Saturday Im sure Stan will call him up. James Simmonds is on trial at QPR, turned down England to get an call up for the Irish U19s a while back.

We have Leyton Orient tomorrow night in the cup and they will have a couple of Irish players. Sean Thornton scored a decent free kick at the weekend.
