Aw come on!!!! The majority of readings goals this season have been scored by the 4 irish guys!
To answer your question, no as Cisse scored the other week for them. Anymore questions.
In Trap we trust

All Irish scorers today in the 3-1 for Reading over Burnley. Long, the 2 Hunts and McCann. Good stuff. Doyle also made at least one of the Reading goals.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Noel is surely worth a look? Assuming he isn't badly injured after scoring that first goal.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Yeah fair play to him, he's doing much better than I thought he would. I hope the two weeks off don't disrupt his form.
Keane and Doyle are without a doubth Ireland's best two strikers at the moment, if they are our best partnership is another argument. Anway there is not much quailty to replace either of these two if they are injured or if Trap wants to change things around up front at some stage of a game.
At the moment rather than a straight swap of a striker-for-a-striker it would need a change of system and brining on one of our attack-minded midfielders, if we really need to open a team up.
None of Stokes, Murphy, Keogh or Long have really impressed when given a chance, although Long has a decent goals-to-games ratio.
On current form, if he wasn't Injured, I would have no complaints if Hunt was to replace any of the substitute strikers in the squad. He has proven so far to be a good partner for Doyle.
Hunt picked up a concussion scoring yesterday, so he might miss the game on thursday: http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk...412765,00.html
stutts im not fully sure what your point about internationals as to me it doesnt make sense. but what about a score game where an irish international scored an own goal, and that was the only goal scored for the international team.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
hows about England 1 (Staunton o.g.) - Ireland 1 (Quinn) - its in the UK too... good enough for you PoS....
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I presume the International point is that in an International game all the players on each team come from the same country making it more likely that 4 scorers from the same country would score. Whereas in a Chamionship game the teams are a mixture of probably 5 to 10 different nations.
Simple enough Paul:
4 separate Irish goalscorers in one game. My guess is this is the first time ever in the UK. In Ireland it'd be common but not in Ireland it wouldn't. Even in our 4-0 win in Cyprus Keane scored twice. The 4-0 in Liectenstein maybe? I can't recall too many high scoring away wins even against minnows. Any LOI teams get many big away wins in Europe? I recall Rovers beating Fram Reykjavik about 20 years ago but I think it was 3-0 over there.
I can't definitely say if it never happened, but I had a look through the records on irish abroad.
In the last 3 seasons there's only one other game when there were technically 4 goalscorers, although two of them were OG's:
14 August 2007
MK Dons 3 - 3 Ipswich
Scorers: Garvan, Lee(p), Bruce(og), Murphy(og)
there were 4 goals or more scored in these games, all scored by Irish players:
26 December 2007
Barnsley 3 - 3 Stoke
Scorers: Macken (2), Lawrence (3)
16 September 2008
Reading 6 - 0 Sheffield Wednesday
Scorers: Doyle (3), N.Hunt (2)
6 May 2007
Luton 0 - 5 Sunderland
Scorers: Stokes, Murphy (2), Connolly
9 April 2007
Preston 2 - 3 Southend United
Scorers: St. Ledger, Maher (2), McCormack
26 January 2008
Watford 1 - 4 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Scorers: O'Toole, Keogh (2), Elliott
30 August 2008
Macclesfield 0 - 6 Darlington
Scorers: Clarke (4)
27 September 2008
Reading 4 - 0 Swansea
Scorers: N.Hunt, Doyle (2), S.Hunt
There's never been more than 5 goals scored by Irish players in one game in that time
