Genclerbirligi have recently signed a lot of English-speaking players (NZ's Shane Smeltz, Aussie Mile Jedinak and ex Hearts player Micheal Stewart).

Thanks for the mention Joe. Me and a friend have set up www.greenscene.meQuote:

Anyone who fancies come on over and have a look and add us on twitter
Hey Carloz good site, interesting to see that Aiden o'Keefe is playing in the canadian league and Richie Partridge has gone to TNS
Thank you cornflakes
Yeah, good site Carloz. I like it. I don't really get twitter though.

Great site Carloz, I particularly love the profiles on players in the lower divisions and leagues! However, hasn't it been proved that Julian Kelly is actually uneligible to play for us?
I didnt know that Ian Daly had moved to Cadiz.Have a mate from there so they are a team I try to keep an eye on so good to have a bit more interest there now too. Did he have a good season last year in Greece, hes a player that has generally passed me byQuote:

Think that might be Martin Kelly you're thinking of...Quote:

Not sure if this will interest many, but an article here about Pat Walker, Carlow man who moved to Scandanavia over 20 years ago and acheieved quite a lot as a manager over there
http://greenscene.me/2010/09/spotlig...n-scandanavia/
Kevin Thornton with an assist to McKays goal against Liverpool. Obviously not the feat it once was but worth mentioning.
Conor Sammon (Ex-UCD, Ex-Derry City). scores against pet club Hamilton Academicals. From an 89th minute header.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...em/9028893.stm
"..The fightback was complete two minutes from time. Rui Miguel's shot was set to fall well wide until Sammon threw himself in front of the effort and nodded into the net to claim a share of the points."
Lee Trundle scored a penalty for Neath today
Richie Partridge also scored this weekend for TNS. Think they won 5 or 6-0.
Had no idea he was even thereQuote:

Irish Abroad monthly statistics for September 2010: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=9
Paddy Kenny reflected QPR's dominance in the Championship with 4 wins in September, leading Darren Randolph, Ian Harte, Sean Dillon, Wes Hoolahan, Shane Long, Anthony Stokes and Jon Daly who each finished the month with three wins.
Millwall's David Forde and Alan Dunne topped the draw table in September with 3 games finishing level. Dunne also topped the bookings table, he was shown the yellow card 4 times
Preston's Sean St Ledger and Keith Treacy warm up for two massive qualifiers in October by losing more games than any other player in September, with 4 losses
Despite starting 6 games each, David Forde, Cliff Byrne, Eddie Nolan, Alan Dunne do not find their way into Trapattoni's squad, along with Joe Murphy Sean St Ledger, Liam Lawrence and Keith Treacy who also lined out 6 times for their clubs
Of these, only Murphy, Forde, Dunne, St Ledger, Nolan and Lawrence completed 90 minutes in each of those game
Treacy was the most substituted player, the winger was withdrawn from the action 5 times in September. He also topped the scoring table along with Anthony Stokes and Liam Lawrence. Each player found the back of the net 3 times. Each of Stokes' goals led to a win for his club.
Conversely, Robbie Keane was the most introduced player, the Ireland captain was summoned from the bench 5 times
Unsurprisingly, goalkeepers top the most unused substitute table, with Shay Given, Saul Deeney, Rene Gilmartin and Brian Murphy remaining on the bench 5 times each
Conor Sammon of Kilmarnock (ex-UCD, Ex-Derry City) gets another last minute goal at home against Dundee United.

I could be in trouble for posting this here, but in today's Indo there is a good article on the tragic career of Graham Barrett, ex Arsenal, potential superstar whose career was similar in decline to Terry Dixon.
Thanks for the heads up gastric. Here's the link for the online version:

tragic indeed - the real tragedy for him being he ended up playing for Shamrock Rovers.Quote:
