Two names to keep an eye out for with possible Irish links.
There is a highly rated 18 year old Liverpool born striker/winger at Tranmere who is definitely going to move on to bigger things in the future. His name is Dale Jennings.

Also Conor Coady of Liverpool is tipped for big things.

Steven Beattie in MLS draft.
There has been debate on here about his nationality, but anyway James Shea on the bench today for Arsenal. Also, on the subject of goalkeepers, Alex McCarthy of Reading has trained with, but never played for the England U21s. Could he come over to the dark side and join us! Anybody know anything about him?
Sean Morrison, a highly rated 20 year old centre half has just signed for Reading from Swindon.

Is he Irish???
Born in Plymouth. Sean Morrison is an unusual name to have if he has no Irish blood. Should be looked into.

Sean Joseph Morrison is his full name
In Scotland, Stephen Elliott scored twice tonight to beat Kilmarnock and two to Jon Walters in the FA Cup.

James Collins graabed two for Shrewsbury last night
With Conor Sammon on the bench, which would lend weight to an impending move.
He'd been down in Scunthorpe since the weekend and only traveled back up to Ayrshire yesterday, Manager didn't feel it was right to start him after all the travel.
Actually, the BBC report said he turned Scunny down.
Reading the Herald website, they'd an article on Danny Kelly who transfered from
non league Crumlin United to Oldham Athletic in the summer:
http://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/ke...e-2504009.html
He's returning home with Shamrock Rovers favourite to sign him.
An interesting stat jumped out at me from the article though:
Which got me thinking who they are?League of Ireland players are quite the in-thing in the English league now -- 33 ex-LOI players are on the books of English clubs this season
Anyway so I created this quick quiz.
http://www.sporcle.com/games/joedeni...playersengland
A few caveats.
- I'm fallible so may have got a few things wrong.
- The players don't neccessarily have to have played in LOI or played in the English League yet. Merely made a transfer from one to the other(eventually).
If you spot anything wrong with it, send me a PM or put it in a spoiler.
Lets see who can get the best time..........
(and Danny Kelly isn't in it because Crumlin aren't LOI)
From the bits I saw of MOTD, Fahey had a horror miss at Old Trafford, tired legs probably; Gibson & O'Shea looked tidy enough, Coleman had a bad miss but also nearly scored a belter, Best was unlucky not to score against Spurs and outmuscled a Spurs defender with ease on another occasion. By all accounts Duff, Dunne and Clark all had good games. I didn't see much of the Irish Wolves, they were easily beaten.
Went to the Wolves game . I would have to say the three Irish lads on display looked Wolves best players . Doyle had a quite game by his standards but was still the best Wolves had on the pitch. Hunt was busy and got in stuck in but with little end product. Ward had a good game was neat and tidy and put a few decent crosses in.
Hammil looked lively and managed to put more balls into the box in the little time he was on than the rest of the team put together. I think he will turn out to be a very good signing for them.
They are in bad need of two new central defenders they were all over the place ,Zubar is shocking not sure how he playing at that standard.
Brilliant to see Stephen O' Halloran play the whole game against top of the table QPR. He got booked in this game which Coventry lost, but he must be back to some degree of fitness to last the whole game. Hopefully in time, he can compete for the problematic left back position for us.
I was at Leicester V Milwall at the weekend and although no Irish started for the home side, Logan was on the bench, he is said to a good bet to end up at Charlton with ex City coach Chris Powell who took over at Charlton recently, Leicester are trying to sign a keeper and I dont see him as being in Svens plans in the long term, he has had chances at the club, but never really made the spot his own. Made a big game changing/costing error early in the Erikksons tenure also, which didnt help.
For Millwall, Dunne was captain and Forde was in goal, he conceded 4 and was definately at fault for the second, weak hands on a scuffed Yakubu shot across him. He kicked well though, and Leicester had a CB on his debut having an absolute horror story of a game and Forde twigged this early and kicked accurately down the kids throat all game long causing several problems.
On a side note, Kyle Naughton, on loan from Spurs and possibly signing permanently at Leicester had another superb 90 at right full, really good, and a pacey overlapper as well with a good sense of when to make the runs and when to stay, solid on it, doesnt give it away and the defensive side of his game is there too. Still free to represent us too if I'm right.
