I wonder why Nolan isn't getting a start as Cunningham played the last match. Maybe he's carrying a knock.

i wonder if that was actually an error in the press release as sky sports had him listed as kevin also. unforgiveable though anyway

**Dodge** · 21/05/2010, 8:13 AM

definitely an error in the press release. radio was the same

**gustavo** · 21/05/2010, 10:25 AM

One would think that the media outlets would have the cop on to read these statements before publishing

i honestly believe most sports media in this country think that getting things correct is optional. i really do

A bit like Drug Dealers.

**geysir** · 21/05/2010, 5:05 PM

I like Kevin as a name. It's a good name.
Anyway, if you want to play for Ireland, you have a much better chance if you're called Kevin.

Ok, I'm bored and had a spreadsheet in front of me. While we have had a few Kevins recently the following is a list of the most common names amongst Irish Internationals (not verifying the numbers though)

Michael / Mick / Mickey / Mike 18
John / Johnny 16
Paddy / Pat 13
Thomas / Tommy / Tom 13
Alan 12
Stephen / Steven / Steve 12
Joe / Joey / Joseph 10
Jim / Jimmy 9
Kevin 9
Liam 8
Tony / Anthony 8

I admit I am a sad individual when it comes to this stuff......

7th!

**paul_oshea** · 21/05/2010, 7:14 PM

I think what geysir is trying to say, is, if you are called kevin you have more of a chance than if you are called keith

**geysir** · 21/05/2010, 8:24 PM

Thank you Paul, it's nice to be understood.

It's a while since we had a Tom.
I'd say the Kevins have a very good cap to name ratio.

Ireland beat the Irish Juniors 2-0 this evening with goals from Cillian Sheridan and captain Paul McShane. Full report from the Irish Times below:

Unfortunately it sounds like Shane Duffy took a bad knock in the first half.
