He was hugely prolific in the Second and Third Division in Scotland but I haven't seen him do too much this season.

Whatever about Falkirk - the UCD keeper played for Stockport County last night.

MANCHESTER CITY 3 COUNTY RESERVES 1

Manchester Senior Cup

Dan Ellis came close to opening the scoring when he used his pace to race clear from the half-way line but his low shot was turned round the post by Andreas Isaksson in the City goal.

City took the lead on 9 minutes when Kelvin Etuhu intercepted a Tony Dinning pass and crossed to Ashley Grimes who headed past Darren Quigley.

The Hatters hit back and the dangerous Ellis was unlucky to see a left-foot effort from 20 yards fly just pas the post.

Then Chris Coward released Michael Malcolm but Isaksson got to the ball a fraction before the former Spurs striker and cleared the danger outside his box.

Sam Williamson then tested Quigley from distance but the trialist goalkeeper saved confidently

The Hatters equalised on 29 minutes when Tommy Rowe's in-swinging free kick evaded a packed penalty area and curled inside Isaksson's right-hand post.

City regained the lead three minutes later when Grimes turned on the edge of the box and beat Quigley inside his left-hand post.

Michael Bowler, back from his loan spell at Witton Albion, was unlucky to se a 20-yarder dip just over the bar.

County continued to press and Isaksson punched away a powerful drive from Michael Rose.

A poor back pass from Curtis Obeng gave Coward a chance but the young striker shot at Isaksson.

Grimes missed a golden chance to grab a hat trick when he glanced a header wide with the goal at his mercy.

Just before the break Gianluca Havern replaced Keith Briggs who had a nasty cut to his mouth.

Half time: Manchester City 2 County 1

The start of the second half failed to live up to the first 45 minutes with both sides struggling to get their game going.

County made a double substitution on 67 minutes. Greg Tansey replaced Tony Dinning with Ellis making way for Ryan Crowther.

City sparked into life on 67 minutes and almost grabbed a third goal but Sam Williamson's drive bounced to safety off the foot of the post.

The reprieve was short-lived, though. Five minutes later a spell of City pressure ended when substitute Ashley Williams scored from close range.

County then had a golden opportunity to get back in the game. Malcolm released Coward who saw his shot saved by Isaksson's legs.

County: Quigley; Briggs (Havern), Rose, Dinning (Tansey), Robinson, Bowler, Ellis (Crowther), Allen, Coward, Malcolm, Rowe.

Attendance: 212

Stockport County would be a step down in my books and Quigley is better than that from what I have seen of him.

It says on the Gretna website that he only works one day a week as a doctor.

Rumours (again) that Fenlon has finally got tired of the situation at Shels and has gone.

Obviously nothing public, which is why its in the rumours section, but time will tell.

And I think its fairly obvious where his next move is expected to be.

Is that Crawley as in the ex Shels full back whose only ability was to hoof the ball into orbit? Washe with Shels this year, or did he go somewhere in between?

One of the papers today - quoted on the Shels forum - said Ollie Cahill has done a medical at Drogheda but will leave any decision on signing until after he comes back from holidays.

Stuart Byrne is also suppose to be goin there aswell.

Fenlon to Rovers according to todays Indo, on the back of a substantial investment from Umbro boss John Courteney. With Scully to take the Shels job.

Apparently Pat won't move up to Derry. Hopefully our board don't back down on this one, I'd rather have a less able manager who is living in Derry and training the team daily that someone who is trying to do it from 150 miles away.

But then again Fenlon was public enemy no 1 for us until last week.

As someone else said, you have to be very fickle to be a football supporter these days!

Eleven-a-side is bursting with rumours of players leaving Shels - Colin Hawkins to Dunfermline, Ollie Cahill and Stuart Byrne to Drogheda, Richie Baker to Motherwell, Glen Crowe and Owen Heary to Bohs, Jason Byrne to Dundee United, Jim Crawford to retire and move into coaching and the out of contract players to possibly move on - Steve Williams, Dean Delaney, Dave Rogers (linked with Bohs on the Shels forum), Joey Ndo and Gary O'Neill. Dave Tyrrell and Dave Crawley are already gone. Not looking good down Tolka Park way; you'd have to say they'd be doing well to qualify for Europe with what's left, assuming obviously that the funds aren't there to bring in suitable replacements.

One would assume that players will be reluctant to sign for them in the future with the publicity of the payment issues and anecdotal accounts from ex-Shels players and staff. Who knows though? Ollie has pulled a few surprises in his time. I'd still say only 50% of that exodus will happen at a maximum.

For the league's perspective it is worrying that Shels are to offload/lose most of their squad. Will somebady think of the coefficient!.

Scully unproven? Christ, you lot have an over-inflated sense of yourselves. :rolleyes:

As for John Courteney, he cannot invest in Rovers without the say so of the membership. End of.

Unproven! He won a league title in two attempts one more than your
beloved SK. You must be watching a different EL Weekly to me because
everytime he was on he was positive about Derry.
Just because he said Shels would win the league and was right
