That's actually weird

Couple of Irish goalscorers today:
Ryan Cassidy came on as a second-half sub for Watford and scored an injury-time equaliser - his third in four games so he seems to be putting a bit of a run together: https://www.watfordfc.com/teams/unde...rlton-athletic
Warron O'Hore got the winner for Brighton against Spurs: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...spurs-v-albion
Derrick Williams played for Blackburn's U23 side yesterday, and scored: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/f...y-under-23s-h/
Not sure why he's dropped to that level, but he's been an unused sub for five of their last six games, so it could be to maintain fitness?
Luca Connell scores for Celtic colts vs Rangers today. So at least he's at something
Parrott, Smallbone and Obafemi all on their benches for Spurs v Southampton in the cup tonight. renaisshane Long starts though.
Luca Connell's goal against Rangers for Celtic's Academy side here at 1:53
Early days I know (but there’s only a third of the season all the same), Coventry not getting much of a look in at Lincoln City in last couple of games. They have brought in so many players at the same time, it’s somewhat concerning. He has never blown me away by his potential but you never know
Elbouzedi possibly suffering from the same issue.
Dara O'Shea scores from right back for West Brom. Molumby started in opposition. Knight and Masterson both started. This quartet are fast becoming Championship regulars and Masterson is the eldest at 21.
Hope for some of the Celtic lads? Barry Coffey and Armstrong Okoflex trained with the senior team before their cup match against Clyde recently:https://www.67hailhail.com/news/thre...ky-to-feature/
After the midweek games, there's finally a gap opening to Rangers, so perhaps there's still a chance of seeing the three youngsters who didn't go out on loan before the end of the season
Will Ferry on the scoresheet for Southampton in their 2-2 draw with Blackburn. Aaron O'Driscoll and Kameron Ledwidge both played in the Saints' defence. I know it looks like he won't be turning out for us, but 16-year-old "Irish Messi" Zak Gilsenan came on as a sub for Blackburn: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...-v-southampton
Has an English flag beside his name there, thought he was with Australia?
Does he even qualify for England?
Why won't Gilsenan turn out for us? He had close Irish links and we could be a more attractive proposition than Australia due to distance and maybe potential quality of our side.
He played for Australia U17s last year
I don't think a few token minutes at the end of the season is any use to those lads at Celtic to be honest, the three of them have wasted a year at probably the most important stage of their development playing kick abouts in public parks around Central Scotland. Connell was a regular in the English Championship this time last year. Okoflex was one of the best young prospects at Arsenal, it looks like he has potentially thrown away a good career in professional football with his Celtic move.
It sounds like Lee O'Connor is in a terrible situation at Partick as well, stuck in a dreadful team on the verge of getting relegated into the part time leagues, I'm sure it's not what he had in mind six months ago when he swapped Manchester for Glasgow. Obviously he will return to Celtic but I'm not sure what use getting abuse from the stands as part of a useless team for five months will be to him in the long run. He'd be far better off playing League of Ireland than wasting his time at Firhill.
Scully scored the opener in a 3-3 draw today For Lincoln. I think that is his first start there. Coventry and Elbouzedi were on the bench and Cian Bolger started.
That Lincoln game finished 4-3, Lincoln losing to a very late goal.
Coventry not getting regular game at League 1 is disappointing. He impressed me every time I seen him for the 21s. But he is only 19 so maybe lacking a bit of physicality for that division
https://www.the42.ie/harry-charsley-...17399-Feb2020/ . Bit old for this thread but nice to see him get a chance. Was around Everton similar time to o Hanlon at liverpool and it's great to see o Hanlon playing a bit with shels now
