Karl Moore opened the scoring for Man City's reserves in a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers' reserves including Alan Judge and Eddie Nolan. Judge had Blackburn's best chance to equalise late on.

In the premier league fantasy football bonus points are awarded to the best 3 players in each match. Dunne has more bonus points than any other defender in the league. I think I heard he's also the only player in the league to have played every minute of every match but I don't know how true that is.
Nope, Sol Campbell has the same amount - 22 - but I'm not sure if that includes this weekend.
Not quite, according to fantasy.premierleague.com all these players have played the maximum:
Roseniour Fulham
Ingimarsson Reading
Yobo Everton
El Karkouri Charlton
Shorey Reading
Dunne
According to the stats page - Click http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/s..._filter=&view= and change the drop down box on the right from Score (Total) to Bonus - Sol Campbell has the same amount (22) but I'm not sure if that includes this weekend.
Not quite, according to all the stats these players have played the maximum 2070 minutes:
Code:Roseniour Fulham Ingimarsson Reading Yobo Everton El Karkouri Charlton Shorey Reading Dunne Man City
Heard on the tele that Dunne and Agbonlahor of Aston Villa are the only players that have played every minute of every match.
As well as that Dunne played brilliantly yesterday keeping clean sheet.
Again, not quite. According to the stats in the fantasy football game on premierleague.com, the following players have all played the 2070 minutes:
Code:Goalkeepers Robinson Tottenham Hotspur Schwarzer Middlesbough Jaaskelainen Bolton Reina Liverpool Hahnemann Reading James Portsmouth Defenders Yobo Everton Shorey Reading Rosenior Fulham Ingimarsson Reading El Karkouri Charlton Dunne Manchester City Midfielders Jagielka Sheffield United Lampard Chelsea Essien Chelsea Forwards Agbonlahor Aston Villa

Byrne joins the Revolution
DAVID BECKHAM'S arrival into Major League Soccer last week may have captured countless headlines but there was another less-heralded MLS signing of interest to Irish football fans.
Bryan Byrne, 24, was one of a number of players drafted into US soccer's top league on Friday when he was snapped up by Steve Nicol's New England Revolution as 38th choice in the MLS Superdraft.
The Castledermot native played under Dermot Keely with Kildare County in 2002, before heading to the University of California-Santa Barbara.
colchester v leicester 1-1
seems McCarthy was hard done by for the equalising pen in this one, by a ref who in his first outing at this level seems to have has a really poor game.also trying to send a player off for a second yellow, without a first booking and several controversially disallowed goals.

Laughable decision, slams City skipper
By Andy Mann
Paddy McCarthy described the penalty decision that deprived Leicester City of three points on their first visit to Colchester as "laughable".
With City leading by Iain Hume's 19th-minute goal, the City skipper was adjudged by referee Danny McDermid, who was in charge of his first Championship game, to have fouled Chris Iwelumo at the start of the second half.
A long ball was played into the City area and Colchester striker Iwelumo went to the ground with McCarthy close by.
There appeared minimal contact and there were even less appeals from the home players.
But McDermid, who later tried to dismiss Colchester captain Karl Duguid for a second yellow without having previously booked him, pointed to the spot.
McCarthy said: "I don't know what the penalty was given for.
"I have seen it again on the video, I think everybody in the stadium has seen it, and no-one knows what it's been given for.
"It summed up the performance of the referee.
"Their skipper said to me afterwards that the lad who went down was bemused by it. I think it's laughable really. I am lost for words and all you can do in this situation is laugh. But it's not funny because it's cost us."
He added: "The lads have done ever so well. It is a difficult place to come to at the best of times but when you have decisions like that, at a place where they have a terrific home record, it makes your job even harder."
McCarthy's view was echoed by both his own manager, Robert Kelly, and, to a lesser extent, by Geraint Williams, the Colchester boss.
Kelly said: "There was no contact and not one of their players has appealed for it.
"It was a pivotal moment.''
Kelly added: "It should be the players who decide the outcome.''
There were seven bookings in a game where there was not a bad tackle.
Williams had sympathy with City over the penalty.
"It looked a bit innocuous," he said. "The ball went into the box and Chris Iwelumo lost his footing. The referee has given it. I can understand why Leicester are disappointed."

Bolton's Matthew Cassidy was on the end of a 4-1 hammering by Man City's reserves in the Manchester Senior Cup last night. No Irish involvement for City (which is odd) but Sun Jihai and Didi Hamann were getting a run out after injury which limited places in the team

The goals are flying in for the Irish players in the lower leagues.
Lawrence, Keogh, Melligan, Byrne and Lee have scored so far and it's not even half time in most of the games. I'd still expect one or two from the following list to score - Long, Connolly, Elliott, Whelan, Clarke and McGeady - also Morrison and Keane (if they come off the bench)
Stokes isn't even in the Sunderland squad - is he injured?
I salute your omnipotence. You didn't predict Stephen Hunt's "bicycle kick" though, or lee frecklington, or barry conlon,(i won't mention leon best and kevin nolan..oops) or Shay Given going off injured. Well done Long, Connolly and McGeady. Still time for the other 3(except clarke who got subbed(

Any idea what happened Given?
Was holding his groin as he was going off. Didn't look happy.
So that was 12 irish on the mark today then(excluding Nolan and including Best
)
Pity only 3 of them were in the top flight.
Paul Heffernan was one I forgot to mention but he didin't score anyway
John Fitzgerald scored as well
