There was a stage today when briefly on BBC's vidi printer, three of the four scorers on show in the rolling thingy were Irish iirc. Great stuff.
On that page there, is their a chance that you separate the matches and make the matches either as a heading or bolded ?Originally Posted by tetsujin1979

That would be interesting indeed. But from the point of view of young promising Irish players that have a genuine chance at making a big impression at international, I don't think today will be beaten from that perspective. McCarthy, Meyler and Brady netting 4 between them. And Garvan also netting one. Although Garvan got off to a slow start with some inconsistent performances, apparently he has been playing a lot more consistently as the season has developed. If Palace keep going the way they are going and Garvan keeps playing well, it will be hard for Trap to resist calls to call him up. But I wouldn't get too excited about him yet for the time being (he has disappointed too many times in the past when I got my hopes up!). We'll see how he is going in the New Year
...you'd be surprised.
Since the Germany debacle, Trap has turned into a big softie - trying to win back the masses with popular call ups
I checked it out, and there were 15 goals scored today, just one less than the 16 goals scored last weekend on the 1st December, which is the current most goals scored by Irish players in one day this season
the most goals scored in one day by Irish players in the Irish Abroad database is 18, scored on two separate dates almost a year apart:
4th October 2008: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Game...ate=2008-10-04
31st October 2009: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Game...ate=2009-10-31
Irish Abroad statistics for November 2012: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=11
Millwall's David Forde finished the month with 5 wins
Midfielders Daniel Kearns, Wes Hoolahan and Anthony Pilkington all started 3 draws in November
Wolves duo Stephen Ward and Kevin Doyle started the most draws, finishing on the losing side 5 times
Quite a few players started 6 games with Paddy Kenny, Darren Randolph, Stephen Henderson, David Forde, Richard Keogh, Damien Delaney, Sean Dillon, Stephen Ward, Gavin Gunning, Matt Doherty, Tommie Hoban, Daniel Kearns, Willo Flood, Conor Sammon, Jon Daly and Kevin Doyle all in the starting XI six times
Of these Paddy Kenny, David Forde, Darren Randolph, Stephen Henderson, Damien Delaney, Richard Keogh, Sean Dillon, Stephen Ward, Gavin Gunning, Matt Doherty, Tommie Hoban, Daniel Kearns and Jon Daly all went on to complete 90 minutes
Eoin Doyle was withdrawn from the action more than any other player, the Hibs striker was substituted 5 times in November
Coincidentally, another striker was introduced from the bench the exact same number of times - Alan Lee
Unsurprisingly, goalkeepers are left on the bench once again the most with Colin Doyle remaining unused 7 times. Of the outfield players, Derby's Mark O'Brien was an unused sub the most, remaining on the bench 5 times
After defender Damien Delaney topped the goalscoring charts in October, no defender scored in November. Lee Frecklington, Jon Daly, Paul Heffernan, Andy Keogh and Conor Sammon all found the net 3 times, with Keogh's goals leading to 3 wins for Millwall
19-year-old Donegal defender Carl McHugh (on loan from Reading) has started for Bradford in their League Cup quarter-final game at home to Arsenal. Bradford are 1-0 at the minute with nearly 25 minutes gone.
He is not on loan, he was released by Reading.
My Guarantee
Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Kevin Long started for Burnley today. Is that his first start in the Championship for them after numerous loans?
I believe it is, yes. He came on as a sub earlier in the season. I wasn't sure he'd make it at Burnley so this is a good sign, and another fillip to the League of Ireland.
A Peterborough forum is speculating about a move for Devine & Williams of Villa as it seems they may not be offered anything by Villa. Tough if true, FA Youth Cup winning CB pairing and its still not enough.

Didn't Williams make his Premier League debut only the other week? He's also made the bench for Villa quite a few times in recent weeks.
Yes and Yes. Surprised at this if so but its just fans speculating at present. I thought he was very highly regarded at Villa who are all about youth under Lambert, lovely to see it.
Barry McNamee along with Stephen McLaughlin joining Notts Forest..
Hopfully they get sorted with professionl deals. Devine missed a whole season las year with a knee injury so maybe that is a factor. Villa have very young defenders at moment might make it hard to break in
Thats great news.Is Mcnamee 21?Any derry fans give us some info on him? I only saw him in the cup final and could not believe how comfortable and technical he was as an attacking midfielder yet he seemed to only get games for derry in last few months of season cause they had loads of injuries. Heard stephen kenny commentating on cup final and he said mcnamee was a left back when kenny was in charge!
