Thanks for the info about Julian Kelly. Mentioned it to my friend who is looking after the Trap index.

Not sure if this will interest many, but an article here about Pat Walker, Carlow man who moved to Scandanavia over 20 years ago and acheieved quite a lot as a manager over there

Kevin Thornton with an assist to McKays goal against Liverpool. Obviously not the feat it once was but worth mentioning.

Conor Sammon (Ex-UCD, Ex-Derry City). scores against pet club Hamilton Academicals. From an 89th minute header.

"..The fightback was complete two minutes from time. Rui Miguel's shot was set to fall well wide until Sammon threw himself in front of the effort and nodded into the net to claim a share of the points."

Richie Partridge also scored this weekend for TNS. Think they won 5 or 6-0.

I doubt he'll be declaring for Ireland and getting a call-up based on performances in Wales anyway.

I could be in trouble for posting this here, but in today's Indo there is a good article on the tragic career of Graham Barrett, ex Arsenal, potential superstar whose career was similar in decline to Terry Dixon.

dear God, who did the research on that article??

Despite making an impact on the international scene in the interim period, scoring minutes into his Ireland debut under Kerr in a friendly against Finland in 2002, his career stopped and started and spiralled into a steady decline.

Mick McCarthy was in charge of that game, it was a friendly after the World Cup, Kerr didn't take over until 2003!

tragic indeed - the real tragedy for him being he ended up playing for Shamrock Rovers.
