Here's an extract from the match report by Brian de Salvo on that game against Finn Harps:

Nice one P.I, Sounds promising if that extract is anything to go by. Hopefully, he'll get a run out sometime soon. I'll let you know how he gets on.

Not a transfer but Kurtis Byrne is doing well for hibs:

Saul Deeney signs for Derby: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...465623,00.html

Jay O'Shea looks likely to sign for Birmingham now, wasn't in Galway squad last night.

Doubt he'd get into the Birmingham team, the other team middlesboro would be better as he would have more opportunity.

Birmingham City have agreed a fee with Irish club Galway United for Republic of Ireland Under-21 midfielder/striker James O'Shea.
The 20-year-old, who joined Galway in December 2007, was his side's top scorer last season with 10 goals and has six so far this season.
He has also won three Under-21 international caps.
The Dublin-born player will now travel to St Andrew's to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms.

Would be a good experience for him down there. Not likely to get a look in at Celtic this side of the Jan transfer window at least.

short mention on Man City's shiney new website here: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news...o-Chesterfield

Not the handsomest chap, is he? ;)

Not a transfer but saw a guy called James Keene score twice for Elfsborgs in UEFA Cup last night. Think he's English but with no underage caps. I wonder what his ancestry is.

I'm not saying that that makes him better than any Pats player mind you :)
