Solid weekend for our younger players. Goal and an assist for Kieran Sadlier and a goal each for Kenny McEvoy and John O'Sullivan.

Nigel Clough appointed Sheffield United manager, taking over a situation very similar to the one he inherited at Derby. Clough had a lot of time for the young, hard-working Irishmen at Derby (he seems to favour attitude over outright ability, as his acquisition of Conor Sammon suggests) and was helped by a very strong youth system. There are a few Irish underage players on the books at Sheffield United, with Sean McGinty in the first team squad, Aaron Barry (not to be confused with Ann and Barry) on loan at Dumbarton, and Connor Dimaio and Joel Coustrain in the academy.
Cian Bolger gone on loan to Colchester for a month. Quite a few of our young CB prospects loaned out in the lower leagues at present.

I emailed the FAI about these guys at info@fai.ie but didn't get any reply. I know some posters have had replies from the FAI about eligible players - just wondered what email they used?
I once emailed that address in relation to Thomas Delaney and got a response back from reception@fai.ie to inform me they'd forwarded it on to the relevant department for their attention. I'm just noticing Delaney was capped by the Danish senior team this year - well, according to Wiki - although I don't think he was ever eligible to play for us anyway: http://www.yanks-abroad.com/content....e=show&id=9004
Quote:
Delaney has roots in several countries including Ireland and the United States. His father was born in Denmark but moved to the United States. Generations before that, his great grandfather fled Ireland to the United States due to the Irish potato famine. Delaney's grandfather and father were both born American citizens despite the fact his father was born in Denmark.

I'm tempted to block him on principle alone
Loan extended, playing regularly.

Came across this in relation to Brighton & Hove Albion's Will Buckley at the end of an article about Aiden McGeady: http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3942/...rs-for-mcgeady
Quote:
Brighton and Hove Albion winger Will Buckley has revealed his intentions to play international football.
The 23-year-old winger, who has had spells at Rochdale and Watford, qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his maternal grandparents and admitted that he would be keen to play internationally.
"Everyone wants to play international football," Buckley told the Argus. "For the last two years it has probably been a bit rare for Brighton to have as many players as we've had travelling on an international break to their respective countries.
"It's good for the club and good for the lads. It's the key part of your career, the top really."
To be honest, I've never seen him play, although he was their record signing at the time of his move to Brighton & Hove and has been an established first-team regular for the past few seasons. He's still only 23 and would be another option on the wing if he was indeed interested in declaring. His comments suggested he was keen on playing international football but they didn't specify for whom, despite his eligibility to play for us.
Cork City players Danny & Gearoid Morrissey will sign for Huddersfield
After a spell out of the side and a few games in the development side, Kane Ferdinand has been loaned to Northampton for a month.

Ronan Finn linked with Burnley on football365's gossip this morning, can't find a report on it though
That's been going around for a couple of weeks now. He played in a closed-doors friendly for them yesterday it seems.
Colchester and Bristol Rovers are supposedly interested in taking Connor Smith on loan which would be a good move as he is not getting a game at Watford, while Watford are interested in Patrick Bamford.
sutherland did his cruciate unfortunately gone back to qpr
Torquay and Barnsley are after David Cawley of Sligo and Horgan of Cork
Torquay would be a real step down for either player. I'd expect them to set their sights a bit higher.
