Murphy's performances against Italy and France have won me over. I think he warrants a call up for the next round of competitive games based on that. I think his presence up front and dovetailing with Long was a large part of the reason we looked so good offensively.
We never looked half as good after he went off, circumstances granted.
I agree. I wasn't happy with Murphy making the trip but he won me over too. I'm not sure I'd pick him over Walters but he's a certain squad member / near starter for the next campaign.

Sheridan's strike yesterday for Omonia Nicosia was his 25th goal in 50 appearances for them
Linked with a move to Poland.

In talks with Jagiellonia Bialystok.
His contract with Omonia ends in June and he's likely to leave in this window as Omonia have liquidity problems.
The Polish league is a step up for him. If he can continue racking up the assists and goals I would call him up.
would be an interesting move. they are currently top in poland (they've never before won the league).Quote:

What a great career. There's a book to be written no doubt.
But would it sell ?Quote:

I've seen fellas celebrate their goals up at 5-a-side with more enthusiasm!
Yeah, he never really celebrated much did he!Quote:

Think this might have gone over my head. Is he known as a bit of a party boy or something? Or were you just agreeing with me. :)Quote:

Just agreeing with you!Quote:

Maybe that's just how he celebrates.

There's a lesson to be learned there for Irish footballers about maximising their potential, playing European football and experiencing new cultures.
If Stokes had Sheridan's attitude his career would be a lot different now.
Less bad influences around him, less sectarianism and less drinking.
Ah well.
Ah yes Blackburn a sectarian hell hole but don't forget Graeme souness married an Irish CatholicQuote:

To be quite frank I think he would have been better served by doing what Sheridan did and leaving Scotland sooner and getting away from bad influences.
In ... Poland???Quote:

Sheridan has more lucrative options in China and South Korea but has agreed a contract in principle with the Polish outfit.
Typical Irish. Turning down the exotic in favour of safe options like Poland. Afraid to learn new alphabets no doubt.
I wish there were more like him. He's the only Irish lad playing in a country where English isn't the spoken language.
And it's doing him the world of good.
He probably has more Champions League/Europa League experience than anyone in our squad.
According to wikipedia John O'Shea(75) has more than twice the number of appearances in European competition than Sheridan (35)Quote:

Interview in today's Sunday times
On the verge of completing a move to Jagiellonia Bialystok.
I think I had that for dinner at a Cambodian Buffet once.
http://in-cyprus.com/omonias-sherida...o-jagiellonia/
they've lost a bit of ground in the last few weeks and now sit 4 behind lechia gdansk, another side unfamiliar with topping the table.

Translation: @CillianSheridan Welcome to Jadze! More info soon at jagiellonia.pl.Quote:
fair play to Sheridan, the easy option would have been to spend his career with the likes of Kilmarnock and Motherwell. I bet he's twice the player he was when he went abroad and definitely worth a look at for the international team.
I am not sure why a spell with two Cypriot teams would make him twice the player he used to be, despite some success in Europe. Will be interesting though to watch his progress with Jagiellonia Białystok. Give us a J...Quote:
