I'm not going to do a full round up of which Irish played well in England this weekend, but Shane Supple was singled out for special praise by Joe Royle.
The Times awarded John O'Shea 8/10 for his performance at Bolton. In fairness to O'Shea, his presence in central midfield has co-incided with MUFC's recent good form. Credit where it's due.
Royle's take on Supple

norwich v leicester 2-1
Maybury played the 90, and again in his new role on the right side of midfield. McCarthy captained the side again,but on the sky highlights i saw him appealing for offside for the norwich opener when he was the last man, but to no avail. he was also booked again,when, near the end norwich were awarded a controversial pen and his protests earned him a yellow and another 2 games out. as leicesters next game is this friday and the ban commences 7 days from sat, he will be available for the next game but will then miss the next 2.
Alan Sheehan is nearing full fitness after nearly 2 months out with a groin injury.
Gary Docherty played for norwich and from what i can make out he played upfront, he is reported as having missed a very presentable chance to put his side ahead early on.
i went to see the peterboro v northampton game at london road on sat as leicester and the local non-league side were away. Peter Gain played in the middle for boro and was taking some stick by the end for not getting stuck in enough,which i would agree with as he was absent for large parts of the game,and although looked to play neat pretty football when he was involved,he tended to drift in and out of the game.
Sean St Ledger, who i think trained recently with our u21's, had a poor 90 at centrehalf, early-on opposing players walked through his challenges far too easily on the ground, and in the air he couldnt deal with Jason Lee (pineapple head), he was then caught in posession in his own third and this cost his side the only goal of the game, he was nearly caught similarly again on at least 2 more occasions, but to be fair he did pick up a bit in the 2nd half and any football played at the back by boro did originate with him, but he was lucky not to cost his side another one with a fresh air swipe attempt at a clearance late on. he must be better than he showed on sat to have kept his place through most of the campaign, so maybe it was just an offday for him
for northampton, Ryan Gilligan, who was recently put on standby for our u19's, came on late on upfront and did what was asked, moving tired c.b.'s around with some good runs and winning a couple of pressure relieving free kicks
I will be really pleased for him if this good run of form results in him putting in a decent performance for us in the next game in centre midfield. If he doesn't produce for us in the CM position against Chile and Holland he should definitely not play against Germany regardless of how well he is playing for MU.
Playing well at CM for MU does not entitle him to start at LB for us. Steve Staunton has enough experience to know the value and importance of playing a regular FB in a key game and not a makeshift (which is what JOS is) in that position unless he has no other choice.
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
i hoping that chain around your neck was part of the bet?? or will it be ''chavhead1'' from now on?
Willo Flood was back in the starting line up for reserves for Man City, while Karl Moore was an unused substitute as they faced their rivals from across the city with Darron Gibson lining out for the men in red. But it was Flood who was left red faced (can't believe I wrote that!) after a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of United, with Gibson setting up the third.
I honestly can't say what this means for Willo, he came off the bench late against Boro and set up one of City's best chances in the time he had. I'd imagine he'll be involved in some capacity against Spurs at the weekend, probably as a sub, but long term I do fear for his future at the City of Manchester Stadium. To lose someone of his undoubted talent to the lower leagues would be a travesty along the lines of McCarthy, Whelan, Elliott, etc all leaving without ever making any significant mark on the senior side.

Jim O'Brien and Darren O'Dea started for Celtic's reserves while Diarmuid O'Carroll surprisingly remained on the bench as an inexperienced and youthful side beat their Hearts opposite numbers 4-2 to move closer to the reserve title at the Excelsior stadium in Airdrie. O'Brien scored twice (one a penalty) in what was a pretty comprehensive win for the Bhoys, with Hearts having 2 players sent off.

No Hearts review up yet, I'll post it when it is published
did a guy called Paisley leave city about the same time as those others you have mentioned? i think he came home and played with with longford.i wonder if he might have been a similar case?
Yeah, that's Stephen Paisley. At one time the keeper and 2 centre halves for the Ireland underage side were all at city, Paul Murphy in goals with Paddy McCarthy and Paisley in front of him.
Last I heard of Murphy he was at Swansea, but I think he's moved on again.
I think it's brian murphy. As far as i know he's still at swansea as 2nd choice keeper.
I see Aiden McGeady's back fit again, came on as sub last night.
Sorry, you're right, Brian Murphy, he's played 3 times this season according to soccerbase - http://www.soccerbase.com/players_de...playerid=24760
With any luck they'll go up and he might get a run in the Championship
As far as I can remember there was nothing between Murphy & Henderson at underage level. In the U20 WC in the UAE, Gerry Smyth alternated the two as they were deemed equally good.
Missed this earlier in the week, Diarmuid O'Carroll scored twice as Celtic's U-19's progress at the expense of Aberdeen after a 4-3 win in extra time. Paul Cahillane was an unused substitute after playing 3 times for Ireland's U-17s last week.

leicester v crystal palace 2-0
McCarthy and Maybury played for leicester with Maybury returning to r.b. due to an injury to the usual guy who plays there and he did fine. McCarthy had a decent game i thought, winning header after header, he was again captain but will now serve a 2 game ban, on that very subject he was again booked on friday when he went through Morrison from behind near the touchline on halfway,a bit of a needless foul i thought.
Morrison played 45mins for palace but did not appear for the 2nd half due to a head injury recieved just before half time when he got a knee in the ear area from the leicester keeper at a set piece, it was a bad one. i thought palace missed him in the 2nd half when they had a lot of posession without creating many openings, whereas in the opening period, with less posession he and Johnsons movement and interplay had almost opened leicester up on a few occasions.
Macken came on about midway through the 2nd half and did win a few headers.
Alan Sheehan has played his first game since his groin injury which has kept him out for over 2 months for the leicester u18 side v ipswich at the weekend.
he came on as a 2nd half sub.

O'Carroll scored another 2 on Saturday in a 3-1 win.
Diarmuid O'Carroll: Seems to have got his confidence back playing with the youths and led the line superbly throughout the game. Scored two and was a willing runner into the channels. Had a good tussle with Killie's giant stopper Ryan O'Leary, who was watched by his father, ex-Celt Pierce O'Leary. All "Dermo" needs now is an extra yard of pace and a bit more confidence in his own ability.
Paul Cahillane: The slightly built 16-year-old left winger played for 47 minutes on the right of midfield and acquitted himself well. Came into his own late in the second half when he fired in a succession of dangerous crosses. Limped off two minutes from time. Could perhaps do with working harder on crossing with his right foot.
Graham Carey: Another left winger! Came on for the last 11 minutes and was unlucky not to score at least one goal. Seems very confident, with lots of pace and skill. Only 16, so will come into his own next season when he may be tried in central midfield or even up front.
