Irish Abroad 2009/2010

Nice one Tets.

Reading about the Wolves and come across a couple of bits about lads who could be worth keeping an eye out for in future:

Eoin Wearen at West Ham - Only 16 put already been promoted to the reserve team with 2 substitute appearances in 3 games for the reserves, as well as being one of only 6 players who have been ever present in the 3 Under-18 games this season. Reserves drew 0-0 with Wolves with Wearen seemingly making an impression against a midfield with David Jones and Andrew Surman in:

82 mins - Eoin Wearen is battling well in midfield. The 16-year-old already has a real physical presence and is giving as good as he is getting.

Mark Connolly at Bolton (formerly Wolves) - appears that Bolton have stole one of our young players, obviously recommended by their assistant manager (and ex-wolves academy boss) Chris Evans. Report reckons that the deal could rise to a £1 million and he is being touted for an inclusion in the first team this season. I know that he was highly rated, however not as highly as our Youth Team Captain John Dunleavy who also plays centre-back and should be higher up the ranks.

Is that the ex Monaghan United lad

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news...cle158563.html

This lad could be one for the future!

I was at The Ricoh last night for Coventry vs Sheff United (don’t ask). 3-2 Coventry.

Quality facility.

Best was a handful. Scored a great goal, chesting down a long ball and volleying it past the keeper. Only a minute earlier he took down a similar long ball expertly. The guy was a real handful, an absolute beast of a player. Took wrong option a few times but it looks like he’s finally delivering.

Clinton scored a good goal with his left foot and played well against a big strong defence. Totally selfless attitude, great team player and covered the whole pitch all night.

Westwood looked good: made two one-on-one saves from Stephen Quinn (who’ll be disappointed not to score with each), great long kick, took high balls well but I’d say he was at fault for Sheff United’s second goal, a hard shot straight at his ribs which he parried instead of collected. The parry was weak and fell straight to a forward who scored from 8 yards.

Sheff United played a brutal, attritional style of football. Quinn rarely had any time on the ball. Missed two chances as mentioned above but played the pass of the match, crossfield from the right to Keith Treacy. Treacy was largely anonymous. He took a few decent corners but that was about it. Both Quinn & Treacy were subbed with 20 mins or so to go.

Wigan res 3 City res 4

Wigan staged a fightback, with James McCarthy smashing in a spectacular 25-yard volley on 65 minutes

What a game that was, Man CIty leaking 4 goals, seems they are missing a top class centre half :D


Also Doyle gets a goal for Wolves who are 2:1 up.

how did baldy traitor play by the way? I see he played the full 96 :D

Currently watching Keane against Chelsea. I hate chelsea but i prefer them winning games by the 70th minute than scoring last gasp winners...

His best moment of the match was letting the ball go by him for Tevez, who subsequently hit the post.
In the second half he barely touched the ball as United enjoyed the majority of possession which was understandable. He did however have a few stray passes.
Not his best game... I hope he never gets the opportunity to don the green jersey again after those quotes.

I love the way city are giving out about the extra time as if they could not take advantage of the extra time too. Also a goal and a sub in extra time can come to about 2 minutes and there was meant to be a min of 4 mins. So they really have no complaints.

Given was great, O Shea was ok although could have done better for Bellamys 2nd goal. Stephen Manchester was rubbish, He was probably thinking about his grannys or Mr Miyagi.

Steven Reid starts for Blackburn tonight, Andrews, Doran and Gunning on the bench.

James Shea on the bench for Arsenal tonight is apparently Irish.. According to Wikipedia anyway.

According to this - http://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/20...ean-mcdermott/ - he's from Islington

Not definitive, I know, but there's no mention of him on the fai site either, surely any player in the Arsenal set up would be a shoe-in for the Ireland side?

I would have thought so too.. Didn't find much else. That's why I stuck the Wiki disclaimer in. Didn't see him committed to England either though...
