Tierney linked with Bolton. Harte has been linked with Leeds. Pearce won't be short of offers. All of the older players in that list are well set for Championship moves (other than Pearce who looks like joining Liverpool or Newcastle).
I'd be more worried about the calibre of club Henderson, Roberts, Shea, Wearen and Devine can attract. Roberts and Henderson have plenty loan experience and should be okay. Don't know much about Shea. Wearen and Devine are surely likely to undergo plenty of trials before signing for a lower-league side or maybe return to the Airtricity League, I would imagine.
Mark Yeates released but Murrray & Hoban safe in a turkey shoot of a cull at Watford. Jack Bonham also released.

Someone could be in a bit of trouble over this incident.

According to another IE report the Footballer in question (named in his own thread here) is to be 'probed'. He won't like that up him. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news...-29332983.html
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
I thought it was only foreigners who don't like it up them?
Interview with Kyle Callan-McFadden in the Irish Post: http://www.irishpost.co.uk/sport/kyle-callan-mcfadden
Mentions that Northern Ireland U19 player Cameron McGeehan might be interested in switching allegiances to the Republic
McGeechan, like Liam McAlinden, is English-born it appears: http://www.london24.com/sport/chelse...wich_1_2173802
John osullivan and darragh lenihan got new deals at blackburn
Michael Liddle signs on again at Accrington.

Conrad Logan signs on again with Leicester City for another two years. 27 now, with only two more first team appearances than his years on this earth and none since 2010. He must love it there at Leicester, several of his loan clubs tried to sign him but was never interested. Shows the value of a back up keeper who will be quiet and not agitate at a club also, as he must have survived ten or more regime changes.

Good to see 'our Joe' back in football. Once touted as a possible Irish manager, he was always pretty astute in his signings.

There's a man who'd gone off the radar. Great to see him back - and as modest as ever! Always had a soft spot for him. Back in the game, does this put him in the frame to succeed Trap whenever he goes?
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Apparently, Newcastle haven't officially completed the deal yet, according to the Irish Times. Silence from St James’ Park hints at a hitch.

Just trawling websites to see what is happening to released Irish players, in particular Villa's Daniel Devine, when I found this review. On the basis of this, he was probably unlucky to be released.

To alleviate the monotony in the close season in the UK, I'll post a few trivia questions on the Irish Abroad site
First question is on the blog: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog
answer to come tomorrow
Daniel Devine training with Swindon and hopefully will get a contract there. Would be a great move if he can get first team football. Kevin McDonald will at least know what he is about.
