Irish Abroad 2009/2010

[theworm2345]

A bit disappointing that no Irish made The Football League Show's team of the year (which I think was really just Steve Claridge's, but he rightly said they could have filled it with West Brom and Newcastle of which there aren't many Irishmen). To be honest I'm not sure who I would have in there though.

Adam Rooney (Inverness) = Scottish 1st Division Player of the Year 09/10.

By all accounts Patrick McCarthy was outstanding for Palace yesterday. Lee and Scannell also played, Lee scoring.

Conor Henderson again made the Arsenal squad today, unfortunately another **** performance from them meant he stayed on the bench.

if Arsenal had secured 3rd place with the win, I would have fancied him to come off the bench for the final game against Fulham. There's still a slight chance Spurs can overtake them, but it's unlikely. Would be nice to see him play for Arsenal. Think Stokes was the last Irish player to turn out for the Gunners, and that was 2005!

Scanell set up the second Palace goal, he ran down the wing, cut inside to the dead ball line and played the ball back.

By the way if were talking bald players then the Ginger Pele should get a mention.

Patrick Cregg came on a minute after him in that match and Graham Stack made his final appearance a month later.

Anyone know if 18 year old striker Mark Cullen who scored yesterday for Hull against Wigan has any Irish links? He has a bit of potential.

Alex Bruce made two brilliant tackles in stoppage time to help Leicester City to a 1-0 victory over Stephen McPhail and Mark Kennedy's Cardiff City in the playoff semi-final first leg.

Bruce played centre half, Kennedy played left full, and McPhail played centre midfield.

[Razors left peg]

Cardiff won that game 1 nil!

[irishfan86]

Oh, so they did....I was watching the game at 5 in the morning here and wasn't fully awake, forgive me! Still a very good tackle by Bruce though, haha!

They have a 5 o clock in the morning now??????

I saw a young English-born goalkeeper called Liam O'Brien on the bench for Portsmouth today. Surely he has Irish links. It appears he has been capped by the England under-19s.

Alan Sheehan and Darren Randolph both have assists in the Swindon vs Charlton semifinal, Sheehan with a cross and Randolph with a long boot up the field. Alan O'Brien, Jon Douglas, and Dave Mooney are also playing. Michael Timliin came on for O'Brien with about 7 minutes left.
