Fahey's goal was after an assist by Adam Rooney.
Quite a difference a year makes. Not an Irish player in sight in the first few weeks of last season. This year our Championship players, bar St. Ledger maybe, all seem to have got off to good starts. Stokes (cough) is off to a good start at Celtic, and in the EPL we had a fair few featuring yesterday with outstanding performances from Shay and Hoolahan by all accounts, and a great goal from Ward. C'mon lads, keep the form up and stay fit.
O'Brien starting both for Derby and Mason featuring in both Cardiff games is very encouraging, seems Mason really did well off the bench today.Quote:

It'll show young lads that their is a career for them, playing back here which can only help the league improve,
and it shows the clubs in England that their are good players to be got over here, and God knows, we
need the money that those transfers will bring. Long may it continue
Yes, I texted my mates earlier that 5 ex-LOI players scored in the EPL & C'ship this w/e. Were there more?
What did Derry get for McClean - £350k? That's a lot of wedge.
Does anyone know if Anthony Stokes was ever in Terenure College, my old school? I've heard it said but never substantiated.
Yeah, he was.
''Anthony left Terenure in 2003 to pursue a football career with Arsenal. Whilst on loan to Falkirk, Anthony was the leading goalscorer in all of Scotland. Sunderland’s Roy Keane recently swooped to move him to The stadium of light for an initial fee of €3 million. He is reported to be on a pay packet of €25,000 per week.''Quote:

Keep an eye out for Anthony Pilkington(or Pilks as I affectionately call him) starting for Norwich today. Have only ever seen him once, playing for the U21s but looks a prospect.
His wiki is a bit ominous
I wouldn't go down the token cap route though. A phone call from Tardelli or someone letting him know that the Irish setup are keeping an eye on him might keep his toes pointing the right direction.Quote:
He qualifies through his paternal grandmother from Dublin but has not yet declared his national side, so may still play for the English national team despite playing for the Republic of Ireland under-21s.
Up Mayo....
Marc Tierney tooQuote:

Stanley have agreed a season-long loan deal for the 23-year-old with his Portuguese club Pacos de Ferreira, but are waiting for international clearance.
Just thought I point out that Birmingham's Nathan Redmond is half Irish. Though he seems to be committed to England, maybe Hughton can push him in the right direction.
Congratulations to Michael Harriman making his Premier League debut for QPR today.

Hall's time on the field came to a premature end as Michael Harriman came on for his Premier League bow. The young full-back slotted in on the right with The useful Gabbidon slotting in alongside Perone.
Barry Maguire started for VVV, they're currently 3-1 down heading for half-time. Just noticed that Northern Irish-Japanese Robert Cullen is playing for them too. Maybe Barry will have a word in his ear.
great start of the season from an irish players point of view, great to see lads getting games and playing really well. brilliant in comparison to the beginning of last season, especially with the 2 big games just around the corner
No D Duff in Fulhams squad.......
