Here's an extract from the match report by Brian de Salvo on that game against Finn Harps:

Nice one P.I, Sounds promising if that extract is anything to go by. Hopefully, he'll get a run out sometime soon. I'll let you know how he gets on.

Jay O'Shea looks likely to sign for Birmingham now, wasn't in Galway squad last night.

**irishultra** · 03/08/2009, 12:30 PM

Doubt he'd get into the Birmingham team, the other team middlesboro would be better as he would have more opportunity.

Birmingham agree deal for O'Shea

Birmingham City have agreed a fee with Irish club Galway United for Republic of Ireland Under-21 midfielder/striker James O'Shea.
The 20-year-old, who joined Galway in December 2007, was his side's top scorer last season with 10 goals and has six so far this season.
He has also won three Under-21 international caps.
The Dublin-born player will now travel to St Andrew's to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms.

Would be a good experience for him down there. Not likely to get a look in at Celtic this side of the Jan transfer window at least.

Not the handsomest chap, is he?

Not a transfer but saw a guy called James Keene score twice for Elfsborgs in UEFA Cup last night. Think he's English but with no underage caps. I wonder what his ancestry is.

I'm not saying that that makes him better than any Pats player mind you
