The lad Luke Joyce from Carlise was mentioned today in the star re playing for us
Coventry broke their 23 year drought at St. Andrew's with a 1-0 win.
Morrison scored a header off a corner.
Our good Catholic boy, Westwood, apparently was brilliant with a clean sheet performance.

Clinton Morrison scored his third goal in three games, seems to be on another scoring streak
Irish Abroad Statistics for October 2008: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/october.xquery
Strangely enough, Owen Garvan was the top goalscorer, finding the net three times
Paddy McCarthy picked up the most bookings, the Palace player was shown the yellow card three times
Aiden McGeady and Jon Macken were the leading talismans (talismen??) for their teams. Each time they scored, their teams went on to win
does anybody know much about Cillian Sheridan playing up front for Celtic v Man U tonight.
has he been capped for at any level
does not seem to be a lot in his bio page on Celtic website

Thought O'Dea did well when he came on today, some good clearances.
Didn't see the first half, so I missed most of Sheridan's time on the field..
Where was McGeady? Didn't see his name on the squad list even? Did he pick up an injury?
Calf strain picked up in training apparently.Quote:

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign young Irish goalkeeper from Norweigean side Vag.

it would have been the same amount of English players, Foster, Ferdinand, Carrick and Rooney.Quote:

Robbie Keane was substituted again for Liverpool, he's only completed two of the 14 games he's started for the Reds
Willo Flood started the 3-3 draw against Rangers. It's the third draw away from home for the Irishman, the most likely outcome of any result away from home when he starts
If Kevin Thornton starts the next game for Brighton, it'll be the most consecutive games he's started all season, after starting twice in a row 2 times, both for Brighton
Graham Coughlan netted his third of the season

If Aiden McGeady had played against Manchester United, there would have been 4 Irish players in the same Champions League game for the first time in some time
There were five in the previous game against Manchester United, but only Aiden McGeady, John O'Shea and Cillian Sheridan played, Darron Gibson and Darren O'Dea were unused substitutes.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...rs/default.stm
Of the top 15 top socrers in the Championship, 6 are Irish, 3 of whom are midfielders.
Thats a very impressive and encouraging statistic. Any idea if that McCormack guy has declared for a country?
Ross McCormack is Scottish, and he's already picked up a cap for his country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Mc...ational_careerQuote:

At 23 & 24 we could have seen the emergence of our full backs of the future in what has been a great year for Ireland so far from the Championship. Both link well with the wingers ahead of them, so could offer a formidable partnership on both wings with Mcgeady & Duff.

Despite scoring his first two Premiership goals for Liverpool, Robbie Keane was substituted again, he has not completed a game for the Reds in almost two months
Andy Reid started his first Premiership game for Sunderland in almost a month. Unfortunately he still has yet to start a home win for the Black Cats, despite winning both away games where he started
In the same game, Daryl Murphy made only his fifth start of the season
David Norris opened his account for the season
Kevin Doyle scored his third brace of the season, he now has an astonishing 13 goals in 16 games
James McCarthy scored his second of the season
Which is the 6th , I know Doyle, O'Toole, Garvan, Burgess & Hunt ?Quote:

O'Dea looking for loan move in January: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/...467563.0.0.php
Good to see that Adam Rooney chipped in with a goal tonight.
Chris McCann apparantly played well in Burnleys magnificant victory.

According to a report in Ipswich:
Ipswich Town, Hamilton Academical and St Johnstone have all made contract offers to former Drogheda central defender Graham Gartland, according to reports in the Irish Republic. Last week, TWTD revealed that the Irish B international had been training with the Blues.
The 25-year-old, who was first linked with Town in December 2007, has been granted early release from his Drogheda contract due to the club's major financial problems. Last year's Eircom Premier League champions recently went into examinership (Irish version of administration) having been unable to pay its players.
After TWTD revealed that Gartland had been training at Playford Road, boss Jim Magilton confirmed he had been at the club a fortnight ago, but said the move had not progressed any further than that at that point.
In addition to the interest from Town, Hamilton and St Johnstone, Swedish side Elfsborg are also said to be keen to take Gartland on trial, while fellow Swedes Helsingborg were previously linked.
Gartland played his youth football with Home Farm, where Owen Garvan's father is a coach, before spells as a youth player with Barnsley and Dundee United. He returned to Ireland to play with St Patrick's Athletic and Longford Town, joining Drogheda in 2004.
Last year, the Dubliner caught the eye of several English clubs when he played alongside Town’s Alex Bruce for the Irish B side in a friendly against Scotland.
In addition to his B cap, Gartland has represented the Republic at U14, U16, U18 and U20 levels, and was called into the senior squad for the tour of the US in the summer of 2007 but was forced to drop out due to injury.
Despite the 6ft 1in tall defender's contract coming to an early end, Town would be unable to sign him officially until the transfer window opens in January.
Ireland U-21 International Michael Liddle has gone on loan to Carlisle
Quote:
The defender, 18, has signed for the Cumbrians until January 3, joining Graham Kavanagh, his Black Cats team-mate, at Brunton Park.
Liddle, a Republic of Ireland U21 left-back, has come through the youth ranks at Sunderland alongside Martyn Waghorn and Jordan Henderson.
Sean St Ledger makes his 100th appearance for Preston North End in the derby v Blackpool tomorrow.

I went to watch him again last night, he played an hour for Sunderland reserves and they were terrific. They brought him off after an hour so that he could come into contention for the game tomorrow. He was absolutely excellent, they won 2-0 and he set up both goals from the left-back position. So we are hoping that he can come in and make a big impact

Jay O'Shea to derby
Looks a very raw talent from what I've seen of him, probably hasn't had a lot of top class coaching in his career but stood out when playing for the U-21's.Quote:
Republic of Ireland under-21 and under-23 forward Jay O’Shea is expected to seal a move to Coca-Cola Championship side Derby County in the near future.
Please don't start a Jay O'Shea thread for a while, it'll only antagonise the LOI aficianados.
Paul Connolly - Derby County captain - right back ??? im sure he is Irish ??
Born in Liverpool according to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_ConnollyQuote:
