Very unlikely he'll score anything like that number of goals. The Scottish Championship isn't like the league of Ireland, it's hard, physical, attritional football played on ploughed up grass pitches and even worse astro ones in bad weather through the cold Scottish winter in bleak provincial towns.
If he gets through the season without having lost all enthusiasm for the game he'll have done well.
Don’t bother applying for that job at the Scottish Tourist Board ! !Quote:

For what it's worth, a struggling, mid table, Sligo side, who just lost their starting goalkeeper, easily dispatched Motherwell in both legs.Quote:

Kerry FC forward Daniel Okwute signed for Stockport County; https://www.stockportcounty.com/exci...ns-from-kerry/
Fellow Irishman Paddy Madden currently the main striker and veteran leader at Edgeley Park, but with The Hatters struggling near the foot of League Two, Daniel may well find himself clocking up some minutes earlier than would be usual for a 19 year old.
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else (apologies if i missed it) but John Ryan of UCD joined Sassuolo of Serie A. Another positive move for an Irish youngster.

Pineapple - any intel? (also, were you asleep at the wheel on Thursday not posting this?!)
Ha! It's in the LoI forum transfer thread. I didn't really think he'd be troubling the national team any time soon, so that seemed a better place for it :)
