If (like me) you've been bemoaning the demise of the Guardian's chalkboards, squawka.com is a new site offering a similar service.
Player stats are updated live in play (hence my mention of Gibson's previous corners in his thread) and are fairly comprehensive.
You can see the stats for the Everton - United game here: http://epl.squawka.com/matches/engli...chester-united
It covers Premier League, Serie A, Primera Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1.
There's an archive section with Euro 2012 stats, e.g. Ireland had 69% pass completion, so approximately three out of every ten went astray.
Conor Henderson made a return for Arsenal's under 21's in the first game of their season. Beat Bolton 3-1 and scored two.
First was a free kick from the edge of the area, second a penalty.
From the looks of it, they look like a very good team. Good to see he is in control of set pieces and hopefully he'll be back in the first team squads come League Cup time
My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek Mark and maybe poking a stick at a certain animosity toward Green among a few on here. I added info about a championship match where only the appearance and performance of Wolves Irish players was mentioned. This despite three Irish including two full internationals starting for Leeds United. Even if I wasn't Irish and obviously an Ireland supporter I'm also a Leeds supporter who reckons Paul Green is an excellent championship midfielder so I take no pleasure in seeing him injured (and almost certainly out of the Kazakstan game.)

That absolute ******* Cox has scored against my team.Good for him anyway. I think he's a great player.
Rumours
Richard Dunne to Stoke
Shane Long to Spurs
Stephen Ward to Everton
Kevin Doyle to Everton

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Kevin Doyle wanted by Everton and Villa: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...r-news-1281628

Two goals for Swindon's James Collins in the first half away to Stoke. Could have had a hat trick right after according to the BBC reports.
It's a second goal for Swindon as James Collins heads in Raffaele De Vita's cross. Stoke are staring down the barrel of a giant killing. Collins almost has a hat-trick soon after as his shot is cleared off the line.
I know it's only the early round of a not-so-important cup with some teams giving their second team a run out but all in all a very positive night, on an player level, for Irish football.
10 to 15 goals and assists for Irish players and some of the younger players getting first team experience and not doing too bad for themselves.
Will Hayhurst played for preston in their good win.He is a highly thought of 18 yo winger hopefully gets run with the 19s
Damien Delaney has left Ipswich Town by mutual consent: http://www.itfc.co.uk/news/article/d...es-343028.aspx
According to Sky Sports, he's expected to sign for Crystal Palace before the transfer window closes, sorry SLAMS SHUT!!!
He's expected to join Celtic but nothing is signed: http://www.mayonews.ie/index.php?opt...&Itemid=100008
Anyone know anything about Courtney and Tyrone Duffus? They're supposedly highly rated at Everton and eligible for Ireland.

My Guarantee
Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Watching the Forest - Charlton match. Reid causing all sorts of problems down the left, him and McGugan (who is also eligible) are behind most every Forest move. Cox is creativing havoc as well with his movement and work rate up front...Forest playing very well.

I watched the football league show after MOTD on Saturday and though I was a little b(l)eery eyed, McGugan seemed to be involved in everything that Forest did. I remember him being highlighted on here as being eligible a few years ago but I think his form dipped.
