That's a shame. When he was on loan at Bohs I thought he had a huge future ahead of him. I've no doubt they'd have beaten Red Bull Salzburg if he'd been allowed to play. Hopefully this is just a temporary setback.
Arter for the Premiership?

Here's Kilbane's recommendation as referenced in the above article:Originally Posted by gastric
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...nd-season.htmlArter, who stated at Charlton Athletic, is a London-born midfielder who wants to play for Ireland. He is 23 and really caught my eye in the three Bournemouth games I’ve seen.Now a Championship player, I think he can challenge Paul Green, Jeff Hendrick, Keith Andrews, David Meyler for a place in Giovanni Trapattoni’s squad.
Arter been very influential under Eddie Howe and was head and shoulders above against Tranmere Rovers last week as Bournemouth clinched the League One title.
He has a bit of an attitude about him, which might need to be curbed, but he wants the ball constantly, believes in his own ability , creates chances for strikers and himself, and looks like he can score goals
Rodgers found not guilty.

Updated with some bonus Eredivisie.
Damien Delaney and Owen Garvan start for Crystal Palace in the play-off final today, with Paddy McCarthy still injured. Mark Yeates is the only Irishman in the Watford squad, making the bench.
Apparently Delaney having an outstanding game.
Lovely interview on the pitch with him on 5live just now.
Hugely emotional - he had to be consoled by his teammates as the rest celebrated with the trophy post-match.
He mentioned a couple of times how it was 11 years today since he was released by Leicester and how it has been a long road back (from level 4?) to today's achievement. Fair play to him.

Yes, and to Paddy McCarthy too. I hope he stays and gets some games in the EPL. The Herald put paid to any chances of Stan picking him. Credit too to Garvan. I thought he was mad to join Palace instead of Brighton.
Article on Will Hayhurst. He seems to have had a good first season.
