Hendrick might be credited with a goal too maybe, his shot definitely looked on target before being diverted in. That said, Shane Long's may well have been off target. When was the last time we had four goalscorers?Quote:

Checked this out, there was one other time when four players scored on the same day, it was 5th May 2001 - Carr, Kilbane, Quinn, and Harte all scoredQuote:

If it wasn't for bad luck, Rob Elliot would have no luck at all. Last week, Derby Co. were reportedly having a look at him. Now, according to the Evening Chronicle, he has sustained a back injury and NUFC's hopes of selling him "have gone up in smoke with the player potentially requiring an operation". Elliot is on contract until June 2020, but Benitez wanted to off-load him.

Unusually, no Irish substitutes in the FA Cup today, i.e everyone starts.

On BBC 1 tonight it is Millwall v Everton in the FA Cup. The commentator asked the co commentator Kevin Kilbane about
Millwall's Irish international Shaun williams and his FAI cup winners medal with Sporting Fingal. needless to say Kevin had not got a clue about Sporting fingal,never heard of them nodoubt.
So what if he hasn't?
I reckon I'd know people in Dublin who have never heard of Sporting Fingal. Is this a new gut test for second generation players - unless they know all the defunct LoI teams of their lifetime they should be looked on with suspicion? Anyway, can you imagine the damage to the league's reputation if Killer's answer had included words like vanity project, wild west regulation, developers, bankrupt, crazy league, only one of many, and (the shame!) happened on John Delaney's watch...?

He has 65 league goals according to Wiki, and 74 club goals in total. It's not great really is it, for a player of his type?Quote:

Very disappointing about Rice. A big talent to lose out on.
Obafemi seems like a decent player! Think he has a good chance of making it in the prem.

Just wanted to apologise to anyone who follows the updates on social media, for the repeated posting of the same message yesterday. I've been trialling some new software for the matchday updates, and everything was going well until the first live run during the Gibraltar game yesterday.
I'm hoping that everything will be resolved ahead of the game against Georgia on Tuesday, and you'll only see the history of games against Georgia once!
What if I want to see it eight times?Quote:

Andy Boyle scored his first for Ross County last night, v Inverness CT. First time I've watched (on TV) any Scottish Championship game. Standard much the same as LOI Premier, I thought.

Love scanning through your updates keeping up to date with developments Tets. Small shout out to Caomhins older brother, Fiacre, playing away centre back with Sol Campbell’s Macclesfield, on loan from Oxford. Don’t think I saw his name there
Thanks, the round up after the weekend games is only really for landmarks, 100th goal, 50th appearance, return from injury, things like that.Quote:
