[TrapAPony]

Stephen Ireland back in the Aston Villa team today v QPR

[theworm2345]

Rene Gilmartin makes his first Championship start for Watford tonight

[theworm2345]

Shaun Williams with his first goal for MK Dons with a penalty against Bury...very Irish side with Clinton Morrison, Darren Potter, and Stephen Gleeson all starting, U21 keeper Ian McLoughlin on the bench for them as well.

Lee Frecklington with two goals for Peterborough already as well, Kearns on the bench for them.

Chris McCann got the third of the night for Burnley against Forest, with Andy Reid starting for the visitors

[drummerboy]

Gary Deegan scored for Coventry.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Cork teenager Eric Grimes got on in a behind closed doors friendly win for Leeds United over Boro last night

[theworm2345]

Fatty and Doyle start for Birmingham, Rooney on the bench. Fatty apparently playing a more holding role according to the lineup diagram.

Nice save by Doyle in the 18th minute, haven't really seen Fahey at all so far.

Stream died right before Maribor scored, commentators saying Doyle at fault and that it was calamitous

EDIT: OK, just saw it, Spector through him a bit of a grenade with a relatively hard hit, bouncing back pass from the right channel, Doyle swings at and misses the ball and the Maribor player has an open net. I'd agree Doyle was at fault.

Stream died right before Maribor scored, commentators saying Doyle at fault and that it was calamitous

"Oh dear. This is a total shocker by Blues keeper Colin Doyle, who takes a wild swipe at Jonathan Spector's backpass... and misses it completely. Dalibor Volas, chasing the ball down, cannot believe his luck, and strokes the ball into an empty net. It wasn't the greatest back-pass in the world, but Doyle made a right old mess of it." BBC Sport

His kicking seems to leave him down badly. It was the one aspect of his game that City fans constantly berated him for, even when he was going well in the first team. I really thought this would have been one of the strongest aspects of his game considering he was an accomplished Gaelic footballer and played outfield for years before he made the move across the water

Delap starts for Stoke against Besiktas, Walters, Whelan, and Wilson all on the bench. Rustu in goal for Besiktas.

[TrapAPony]

Walters scored the winning goal v Besiktas from the penalty spot.

[Charlie Darwin]

Pilkington just missed an opener for Norwich against Man Utd. Dispossessed Valencia on the edge of the box but pushed his shot wide. And Anderson went straight down the other end and scored for Man U.

[theworm2345]

First goal since April 20th, 2010 today for Tadhg Purcell.
