I'd be shocked if this wasn't on course to be the season with the least PL goals scored by Irish players.
You'd have to go back to 98/99(or pre Robbie Keane) when only 16 were scored.
Currently on 19.

I'm a man on a mission. Enjoyed my 4 years at villa. Time for a new challenge the future looks exciting 😃
Thought he was flying there ?
Me too, although I could be confusing him with Ronan Hale at Birmingham
Thought both were flying.
The elder brother was injured for a lot of this past while I think. He doesn't seem to be too down in the dumps over it. Hope an opportunity has presented itself.

Sunderland are playing the U23 Premier League International Cup Final tonight (I hadn't heard of it until the weekend)
James Talbot, Dan Casey and Jean Yves-Poame are in their U23 squad - https://www.safc.com/players/u23s - but I don't know how many of them have played in the tournament so far
Eoghon Stokes and shaughnessy get another one year deal at Leeds.
Conor Livingston has new one year contract at wolves and breslin and rainey also kept on for another year
Stokes was given a year this time last year as well wasn't he ? Great he has done enough to be extended with no first team involvement at all.
Yes got a year last year as well. Must be tough slogging just trying to get the next one year deal. Maybe monk getting the sack wood help him. Just looking at championship clubs we have very few players in the underage setups. Now in fairness the retained lists for clubs like Huddersfield and reading and Villa don't seem to be out yet and we must have about 10 underage players across those clubs
Wasn't it Monk coming in gave him the deal ?
I think Steve Evans was in charge when he contracts were handed out but monk must have given him this deal. Hopefully makes a breakthrough. Nice to see shaughnessy get another yearQuote:

The42.ie give their end of season review/ratings for players in and around the Ireland squad plying their trade in the U.K.
http://www.the42.ie/playing-ratings-...97405-May2017/
Four Ireland players in Burnley's starting XI today - Kevin Long, Robbie Brady, Jeff Hendrick and Stephen Ward - that's the most in a Premier League game in 2016/17 and the most since Paul McShane, Stephen Quinn, David Meyler and (coincidentally) Robbie Brady started for Hull against Manchester United in May 2015
I've got nineteen goals for Irish players in the Premier League this season - David Meyler(1), Stephen Ward(1), James McClean(1), James McCarthy(1), Jonathan Walters(4), Shane Long(3), Harry Arter(1), Jeff Hendrick(2), Seamus Coleman(4), Robbie Brady(1)
Sam Vokes netted more goals over the last four weeks (5) than any individual Irish player could net over the entire season.
He netted 10 goals this season, which is 6 goals less than the overall goalscoring tally for Irish players.
Puts into perspective how stark things are from an Irish perspective.
It really has been a dreadful season from an Irish perspective when you factor in Coleman and McCarthy's injury problems, the war of words between O'Neill and Coleman, overall form of Irish players, lack of players breaking in and the incredible lack of goals.
I think Walters is the only player who scored after the beginning of February.
Dammit. Where did I get 16 from?Quote:
