The Times was waxing lyrical about Callum O'Dowda's performance for Oxford on Saturday.
Trying something new for the site, a report card with some notable numbers from player appearances over the weekend's/mid week games: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...09038912101125
A particularly vicious red card offence also I might add!
kinsella who has been injured nearly all the time since he joined everton played for the 18s at weekend he is a quality player,
James dunne who also has been injured alot since joining utd has played alot for the man utd 18s but not involved with us underage even though his is his last year under 19,
jordan graham seemed to make one of his first starts for wolves at weekend. Wonder would he switch back to us last time he played for us was under 15 with grealish and scored a few goals a more traditional winger and far less talented player than grealish. Wonder if william keane the striker who is gatting some game time at preston would switch to us isnt his dad irish?
That's positive news, especially considering that we were talking about interest from Bristol Rovers a couple of weeks ago. And while it definitely means he's closer to the international set-up, I think it might be a bit of a stretch for him to be considered for the Euros, but he could make it into the reckoning for the next qualifying campaign (now watch him break into the first team immediately and score 15 this season and help Brighton walk away with The Championship!) - the Independent seem to be really pushing him, with Richard Sadlier implying that he would be one of the players squeezed out if Robbie Keane gets taken
The Bristol Rovers talk was a bit of a joke. It was like me saying in the papers that I'm interested in Georgia Salpia and the papers linking us as a stick with which to beat the level Georgia Salpia was at. There was no way Towell was ever going there and there were plenty of other sides interest in him. He was holding out for a Championship side and he's got one of the best of them. Now it's up to him to let his football do the talking in an environment where he's not going to be the main man like he was at Dundalk. I think that'll present one of the biggest challenges in seeing how good he is and can be.
What Irish defender scored the twentieth goal of his career? What player was sent off for the first time in his career?
It's the midweek report card: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...15937064368040
Which Irish player made his first start in over a year and who scored his first goal since October 2014 last weekend: https://t.co/N3N4m9ud6K
With the draw for the group stages of Euro 2016 coming up, I've thrown a map of the fixtures together, along with local airport data to help decide where would be best to end up, in terms of accessibility: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Flights
Some of the fixtures lists aren't working exactly, so please bear with me while I fix it up. I have to say, the "F4" selection looks tasty!
works best in Firefox at the moment
Watching the Champions League coverage tonight on TV3, Kerr was in the studio with Souness. Didn't realise it's ten years now since he was sacked as Ireland manager, October 2005.
Here's the thread discussing it: http://foot.ie/threads/30480-Kerr-Gone/
Latest "Profile of an icon" piece from Football365 profiles Paul McGrath: http://www.football365.com/news/prof...n-paul-mcgrath
Damien McCrory and Anthony O'Connor bagged 2 of Burton's 3 goals in their win over John Egan's Gillingham.
a recent article from the excellent Zonal Marking got me wondering, which are Ireland's golden and lost generations - http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...51399110446456
The generation of barry quinn stephen mcphail and partidge in midfield were beautiful to watch and so technically gifted. I would have bet anything that they would all have got 50 caps. I dont think i have ever seen a better player underage than mcphail he was so polished and game astute. Honorable mentions to thornton who really looked a player for a while and michael reidy who offered us the possibility of serious pace at a time when we didnt have alot of it. Keith o neill prob needs to go in there too
Gavin Gunning made his 100th start for his club, Rhys Murphy scored his thirtieth career goal, and more in the round up of last weekend's games: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...77901074787838
