Treacy starts for Blackburn against Fulham today. Andrews starts too. I'm presuming Reid is injured.

2 excellent passes by Ireland today for 2 of Man City's goals:

He was superb by all reports.
Went to the Wolves v Preston game yesterday, so thought I'd update the latest on the Irish Boys on show:
Kevin Foley - Mr dependable never looked phased. Gets up the line brilliantly and his overlapping with Kightly on our Right Wing has been a major reason for our success this season. Very comfortable on the ball and always looking to pass and move. A few stray passes but on overall performance 7 out of 10. Personally, think he's ahead of Kelly as our right back for the future.
Stephen Ward - Another accomplished performance at Left Back and appears to be growing in confidence. Not massively tested but quick and strong resulting in their right winger getting subbed. First and foremost he is proving to be a very good all round footballer with a good range of passing and lively game full of energy overlapping down the wing and providing useful crosses. Slowly becoming a fans favourite for his adaptability and self-belief in the face of abuse from some quarters.
Andy Keogh - Came on and looks to be back to his best. Plenty of running down the channels and intelligent runs creating space for others. Cleverly set kightly up for the cross for Iwulumo's 2nd and played kightly in with a clever interchange under pressure for our penalty. Still needs to fill out and build his overall presence upfront, however after setting up one and scoring midweek playing on the left wing is proving to be a tricky player who can play upfront or on either wing and has pace to burn. Iwulemo is out for 3 games (bar getting the card rescinded) so should get a run in the team.
Sean St Ledger - Steady at the back, however was eventually overpowered by Iwulemo, although Mawene was more at fault for the three goals. Slightly small for a centrehalf (or so it seems) and was not as commanding as our back line. Preston fans that I talked too after the game raved about him though and said that he is equally adept as a left back, which could be a more attractive proposition for our perspective.
Super Mick McCarthy - Great to hear the fans singing his name again. Has got us playing absolutely brilliant free-flowing attacking football. Have read some utter rubbish on eleven-a-side by posters slating his style of play and man-management however can defintely say that this is the closest I have seen to us playing total football down the Wolves with interconnecting free-flowing passing football which was simply too good for Preston. The spirit in the team is quality and his assurance that no one is bigger than the team (such as Freddie Eastwood) is paying dividends. With an average of 3 goals a game and a +14 goal difference after 7 games from a team with an average age of 22 that has essentially been fashioned from young aspiring players coming up from the lower divisions it is simply too good to be true. He was knocked during the latter days of his tenure for Ireland, possibly harshly in retrospect, however looking back he was a relatively inexperienced manager who has since learnt a great deal which we are thankfully benefitting from. If his name was thrown into the hat in 2-4 years time after Old Trapp calls it a day, I definitely think that we would be getting a better manager than before and would certainly have my backing.
Does anyone know how Michael Collins and Conor Mccormack are getting on at Triestina?
Lads what about Wayne Henderson
Michael O'Connor scored - is he anywhere near any of the underage squads ?
Not really as he is back playing for the North.
Not looking good for Darron Gibson - thought for sure he'd figure in United's Carling Cup plans and get a bit of competitive game time, given his good pre-season form. He's only on the bench, with Possebon selected ahead of him. Probably needs a move, whether permanent or on loan.
Oh - I get a bit dizzy with those boys jumping back and forth.
Gibson played the last 20 minutes after replacing Possebon, who got nailed by Pogatetz.Quote:

Missed a penalty in the shoot out, Reid and Murphy scored in the shootout. Stokes is good at scoring against weaker opposition.Quote:

What is your obsession with Murphy? Stokes did more in the 12 minutes after he came on than Murphy did in the whole 90!Quote:

Have to say I know nothing about the lad at HullQuote:
BLACKBURN: Alan Judge (19)
Republic of Ireland Under-21 midfielder/striker given the no 25 shirt this season by Paul Ince after a reserve season that reaped seven goals from just 15 games. Spent time with the Rovers' first-team squad in pre-season and made his debut against Grimsby in the first round of the League Cup.
HULL: Jamie Devitt (18)
Republic of Ireland youth international who was voted the club's Young Player of the Year last season and was awarded the number 36 jersey for this season. But with 12 midfielders ahead of him in the pecking order, he will almost certainly have to wait for a first-team chance.
Stephen Carr
Ian Harte
Where or will these players play this season? Why not trot out together for an Eircom League side instead of "training".
Ireland got a decent goal against Brighton, despite the fact they lost on penalties.
No way either player would join an Eircom League team. The most they would get paid would be about €3k a week. If they were willing to lower their pay demands, they could easily find a club for double what any Eircom League team would pay.Quote:

They're smart, giving them a career after football.Quote:

Marc Wilson made his first team debut for Portsmouth in their defeat to Chelsea mid-week.
Carr would have been on about £20k at Newcastle. Harte would have been on £10k a Sunderland. The Championship clubs looking at either player would probably only be offering half the wages of what they used to be on. Harte especially will be asking, "Is it worth my while to move half-way accross England to work for £5k a week?".Quote:

Was it 2006 or 2007 that Kelly retired? If it was last year, he would have been 34. I remember there was talk of him joining Drogs, but it never happened.
Great stuff at the Madejski - Noel Hunt, Steven Hunt and Doyle (2) on the scoresheet in a 4-0 win. Ben Burgess and John-Joe O'Toole scored for their clubs too. Only five Irish players started in the Premiership today. :(
I see Reading won 4-0 today and Irish players scored all the goals.
2 for Doyle and a goal apeice for the brothers Hunt.
doyle seems to be on a bit of form...pity he picked up an injury going for his hattrick:(
I counted 7 -Keane, Miller, Duff, Given, Liam Lawrence, Andy O'Brien and McShaneQuote:

Reading on Tuesday will be a real test.
Ah you're right, I posted before the Hull game, discounting McShane, and I simply ignored Andy O'Brien!Quote:

Steven Quinn was the star man in the Sunday Times getting 9 out of 10 - although reading some of the Sheff Utd fansites it appears that he's not universally liked. His brother Keith is supposed to be on the fringes and sounds like a decent central midfielder (bizarrely likened to Ben Watson)

They've also got another player who has broken through and impressesd as an attacking right back called Kyle Naughton who could be eligible. Only 19 and the blades fans are raving about him. Trained with England U15 as a schoolboy but not capped at under age level.
Patrick Kohlmann -> http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/spiel...nn/profil.html
He is a regular for the german 3. Bundesliga club Union Berlin and gaves an assist today in the Derby against Jena.
I've saw him this season two times and think he is a really good left back.
If I remember correctly he couldn't even get his game for Dortmund's second team. Didn't know he moved on. The German 3rd league is about the same standard as the EL 1st division and he's already 25. So I wouldn't see much chance of him imporving enough to be considered for the Irish squad. Maybe he looked good because he's finally found his level?Quote:
