In his own mind, perhaps.

I have to admit I'm am biased, I just can't stand the spoiled brat; but to say he had potential to be world class is pushing it a bit far. Potential to be a good premiership player maybe.

Crystal Palace and Derby County just finished playing. McCarthy started in center of defense (as he has every match for Palace this season) and Garvan in central midfield for Palace. McCarthy was solid as a rock for about 70 minutes and then turned a cross into his own net in the 75th. Wasn't necessarily a comical gaffe as it was a tough ball to deal with, but it was certainly an error. Garvan was decent, didn't really do all that much and I wasn't sure what his role was supposed to be. May have just been overshadowed by Ambrose. Green started at right back for Derby while Hendrick started in central midfield. Green was actually very impressive and might have been their man of the match. In the first half his passing and crossing were a bit off but he was getting forward and defending well against Calvin Andrew, who is strong and has some pace (that being said he is a striker, I believe, more than a winger, which is where he was playing). In the second half he continued to defend well and got his passing and crossing under control and was a constant threat up the right side, including putting in the cross which McCarthy turned in to his own goal. Had a decent chance late on as well. Hendrick was pretty unimpressive for roughly the first 70 minutes, didn't get on the ball much, and his passing went astray. He got it together though as Derby surged late on, showing more offensive impetus and getting in to the game more. Mark O'Brien came on at the 90 minute mark for Derby, didn't really have much to do though I will say that if he is going to be an effective centre half he looks like he needs to hit the gym.
Conor Clifford got his first senior goal against Fleetwood in the FA Cup tonight as well.

Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Thanks. Good report
Sheffield United v Torquay United is live on Setanta Ireland now. Stephen Quinn and Dave McAllister playing for Sheffield, Eunan O'Kane for Torquay.
Just looking at OWC & lads that are eligible for them so must be for us are :
Niall Keown (Reading) - 18 year old reading defender who can play fullback or centrehalf. Martin's son
Matthew Kennedy (Kilmarnock) - born 1994 - Has represented Scotland at u15, U16 & U17 level. Still only 17 and already made his first team debut for Kilmarnock.
Ronnie Hawkins (Tottenham) - born in 1994 - Left footed central midfield player whose father was born in Belfast
Callum McManaman (Wigan)

An interesting article. Hopefully, the u19 competition helps young returning players as well as the home grown ones.

A young Liverpool-born player called Conor McAleny has just come on for Everton versus Arsenal. Surely some Irish in him...
Great grandfather as far as I know

My first time seeing him. Made a good impact. Good to see an old fashioned left winger whipping crosses in. Will be interesting to see how he does in a game from the start. He looks a bit raw but he seems to have a good direct style of play. Looking forward to seeing more.
Newcastle seemingly interested in Sheff. Utd's Harry Maguire. Does anyone know if he has any Irish connections or if he is any good? His wikipedia profile does not mention any English national team involvement.
that would suggest to me that he is not very good as opposed to being not very English!!
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
18 years old and supposedly Newcastle are offering 3 million for him, he must have some quality about him!

Wigan and West Brom showing interest in Jon Daly according to Skysports.com
Well past it. He hasn't won a major since the early 90's.
Wouldn't be much of a footballer either, still very overweight.
You've got no fans.
In fairness daly has put in some hard yards down the years would be great to see him get a big move
There's a Michael Francis O'Halloran on the bench for Bolton today. Started out at Celtic and he's from Glasgow. Surely a possibility that he's eligible??
