Danny Rogers gone on loan to Airdrie: http://www.airdriefc.com/news/2013/12/dannyrogers.html
Thought he was just out of favour under Dave Jones? No coincidence that he was involved again after his sacking.
Was wondering how Wearen was getting on, he's still on trial at Ipswich, and played for their U21's on Monday: http://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-n...lose-at-palace
U19 defender Eoghan O'Connell on the bench for Celtic against Hearts. Game is live on Sky Sports 2
Eoghan O'Connell is on the bench for Celtic today.
Sounds like a cracker!Quote:
Goal!
Goal! MK Dons 1, Port Vale 0. Stephen Gleeson (MK Dons) right footed shot from outside the box to the top right corner.
Made one League appearance this season in a game that Watford won 2-1. I was shocked to see some (the vast majority) of the comments castigating his performance. This is a young lad that hadn't made a League appearance in almost a year. He hasn't played since and rarely made the bench. Wonder if it's because of fan pressure?

Stephen Dawson could be on the move this January.
Could this be the beginning of the end of the man made of Teflon, Paul Green?
Out of contract at the end of the season and training away from the first team, he hasn't played since October.
Noel Hunt has also been MIA since the same time period.
Aidan White on loan at Sheffield United in League One, approximately a year after being linked with Werder Bremen.
Bad times for the outfield Irish contingent at Leeds.
White out for between two and four weeks but Sheffield United are interested in retaining his services.

Preston have signed Under-19 captain Alan Browne to an 18-month contract after impressing on trial.
Virtually a full line up of games across all four divisions in England and four SPL games and not one Irish goalscorer.
This must be a record low.
Ten minutes for that to change.
Stephen Kelly, Stephen Ward, Jack Grealish and Aaron Doran have all scored last minute goals for Reading, Brighton, Notts County and Inverness respectively.

Sammon could be reuniting with Clough at Sheffield United.

O'Donovan could be joining fellow Corkonian Joe Gamble in Brunei.
"Something that passed me by entirely over Xmas, but Colorado Rapids' Cork born defender Shane O'Neill spent a week training with Fulham."
"Rapids also sent three players to Everton which they do annually but O'Neill's Fulham stint wasn't arranged by the club, nor was it a trial."
"20-year-old O'Neill was born in Middleton but he represented the US at the Under 20 World Cup last year. Noel King has been in touch."

Alan Browne, 18 year old midfielder had signed for P.N.E. having played for Cork last season.

Kane Ferdinand has signed on loan for Skrill Premier team, Luton.
Thought he would have been too good for that level.
He was on loan earlier this season at Northampton, came back in and was involved briefly with the first team but has also spent time training with the youth sides this term at his club so something amiss it seems alright, and it's a pity as when his side almost stayed up in the Championship last year I was at a number of their games in the run in and he was making the side in key matches and seemed to have that level in him fairly comfortably at that point.
Daniel Kearns has been uninvolved for a month and a half now. Peterborough won 10 of the 12 games he was involved in and he seemed to be getting decent reports but he hasn't featured since coming on at half-time and getting booked in a loss to Walsall. Disappointing, as he seemed to have finally turned a corner.

Foley not in Wolves plans after accumulating 53 minutes worth of playing time all season. No clubs interested.
This weekend can be a great breakthrough weekend for young irish players in the FA cup. Was it 3 or 4 yrs ago now that mccarthy got his first start for wigan in fa cup after seeing very little action for his first 5 months at wigan and has never looked back since. Hopefully this weekend throws up something special as well. Maybe some of these will be involved;
Hull- Henderson would be great if he got chance to stake a claim and be included in the premiership squad for rest of season
Blackburn; O sullivan hasnt kicked on yet had an injury but back now. Lenihan going well in their reserves/21s
Reading- will sweeney get his debut
Sheffield wed- will corry get a chance to get back into side
Wigan- will kiernan get a start
Palace- is garvan in Pulis plans after his holloway fallout
Southend- will clifford shine against higher opposition
Burnley- chance for kevin long to reestablish himself in side. Maybe chance for Luke galagher to be involved
Sunderland- maybe egan involved
Oldham- Rodgers to get a chance against his dads side. McLaughlin only back from injury he might have had a chance.
No sign of him in the lineup, thought Ian Lawlor might get a shot at the bench for City. Alan Judge on the bench for Blackburn is the only Irish involvement in the game
all the lineups, goals and cards will be on the live blog here as the day progresses: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Live
Henderson not in the lineup for Hull. Quinn, Meyler and McShane all start
http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/s...rk-254217.html
Championship interest in Alan Judge.
Typical no one i mentioned involved!Bolger on bench for Bolton. He has had very littlenvolvement with the irish setup as far as I can rememeber
Ryan McLaughlin off to Barnsley for a month: http://t.co/ovw93TNAQ9
Cliff Byrne has told Sky Sports he is set to leave Oldham this monthand is hoping to fix himself with a new club as soon as possible
We are hearing that Brentford are hoping to sign Wigan defender Rob Kiernan on loan. Brentford boss Mark Warburton is looking to bring in a new defender and is targeting a move for Kiernan who enjoyed a successful spell on loan at Griffin Park last season.
We are hearing Northampton Town are set to sign Sheffield Uniteddefender Sean McGinty on loan until the end of the season as they look to bolster their defensive options.
Chesterfield want to keep Jamie Devitt at the club and are set to begin contract talks with the winger. The 23-year-old initially signed a deal until January 19 when he joined from Hull in July. Spireites boss Paul Cook says:

Joe Dunne is doing a pretty good job at a mediocre Colchester United team. It will be interesting to follow his and Colchester's progress in the near future.
Graham Kavanagh started well at Carlisle but they have been faltering lately and are in relegation form.
Joe Gorman and Adam Evans made their first appearance on the bench for Inverness Caledonian Thistle this afternoon
four Irish players in total on the bench, with Daniel Devine and Conor Pepper
