Irish Abroad 2009/2010

Interestingly, former Cork City striker partners Dave Mooney and Denis Behan (a peno) have scored in the same match, for Charlton and Hartlepool (respectively)

Tadgh Purcell got his first goal in English football for Stan's Darlington

Graham Kavanagh also has a goal in his Johnstone Paint Trophy tie with Leeds

Also, Given was brilliant tonight against Manchester United in the Carling Cup

How do you pronounce that? Taargg, Taig (oo er!) or something else?

Tie-gh is the closest I can spell it phonetically
Tie as in necktie
gh as in ghost

Bit at the bottom of this article about a guy who I believe has played for our under 19's - anyone know anything about him?

**Onefootednopace** · 20/01/2010, 5:13 PM

Don't know much about him except he was involved in the U-19 tournament in Dublin last September. Started all 3 games.
Reports on these games on the FAI website- click on the scoreline in green to access the reports.

From what I've heard on RTE and the like it is like saying "Tiger" without the "er"

Can't wait for Tadhg Purcell to score his first goal on Gillette Soccer Saturday. Tadhugg Pur-sell probably. Apparently there's some bloke called Sillian Sheridan playing for Plymouth. Not to mention that French guy Ree-shard Sadlee-ay who used to play for Millwall..

Don't even joke about that, its an issue very close to my heart!! I can't believe the amount of people who pronounce Cillian as an 'S', its ridiculous. I think Cilla Black has a lot to answer for, its all I can think of anyway!

PS: He's at St Johnstone now

Just watched the BBC highlights, the commentator appears to say "Tact Pur-sell"

**weecountyman** · 22/01/2010, 7:04 AM

Fabio O'Brien subbed off at the weekend (Valletta vs Qormi), the forum's in Malta are claiming he's on his final chance, club owner/backer/president wanted him to cheese off Floriana, but now he's not performing and they lost an international striker yesterday who refuses to play with Declan. All a bit mad.

Dominic Foley has been banging them in,
5 in his last 3 games for high flying Cercle Brugge. (8 all season I think)

Pick of the bunch at 1minute 55seconds

Tidy finish!

Are they in the top division in Belgium?

Just like the misprounciation of Keltic, which pseudo-kelts pronounce - Sell-tic. People, we're not Kelts, never were, the Irish are Irish, English, Anglo-Norman, Viking, French, Spanish, the Scots are Irish, Picts, English and Anglo-Norman.

On topic, Foley is very highly rated in Belgium - this winter some German sides were sniffing around. How much longer will he have in Belgium?

**irishfan86** · 23/01/2010, 6:01 PM

Foley is 33 years old, I don`t think he`s going anywhere.

Yep, remember him featuring in the US Nike Cup in 2000. I headed over for it and he was just coming on the scene then (think he might have scored actually in Boston). Then nothing..... He just seemed to disappear from the Irish International scene altogether after that.
