Don't know if you're being sarcastic, but believe it or not, it's a different Anthony Stokes, English though, I think.
Ryan O'Leary, Irish u-19,(David's nephew, Pearse's son) was on the subs bench for Kilmarnock today, he was with Aberdeen last year so I guess his time as a prospect has now passed.
good to hear about the interest on Patrick Cregg from Celtic, maybe Stephen Bradley could follow suit.
According to soccerbase.com, there's only one Anthony Stokes, although he is listed as being English.

Not saying this is gospel, it's quite possible there's another player with the same name, but soccerbase is usually a reliable resource for this sort of thing.
guess he was baptized "Tony",,. weird that.

I saw a story on a Tony Stokres on BBC recently and it was clear it wasn't the Irish one. Can't remember the clubs involved.
Anyone know if Marcos Painter at Brum is injured? He hasn't even been on the bench yet this season. Likewise young Adam Rooney at Stoke. Injured?
Maybe another possible future striker?, Anthony Mason at Plymouth, "highly rated" according to Teamtalk

Today's Times (UK) named Darren Randolph as its player of the day in League One, citing several excellent saves and putting his photo in its weekly ''The Game'' supplement.
Last weekend's Observer (Guardian on Sunday basically) had a small feature on & interview with Shane Supple.
I think the goalkeeping future looks bright with these too teenagers already making an impression, not to mention the current U21 keepers.
Is Shane Supple injured, he wasn't in the Ipswich squad. Neither was Garvan.
Always look on the bright side of life
Garvan is still ill. Supple is injured I think:

Good to see that David van Zantan, ex Tolka Rovers schoolboy, has clocked up over 101 appearances with St Mirren in the SPL.
Always look on the bright side of life
It's also in the Ireland.com article verifying soccerc's "scoop" on Sean St. Ledger.
Hopefully he does well for them. It's a strange move but I get to see a lot more SPL football than Championship football so I'll be able to keep an eye on him. First up is Rangers after the international break.
leicester v southend 1-0
McCarthy was the only Irishman to start this one for leicester, with Maybury not making the 16 at all and Logan keeping his place on the bench despite Rab Douglas being back in training during the week.
McCarthy and his defensive colleagues were on top throughout this one, restricting the visitors to one clearcut sight of goal which was missed spectacularly.he also showed good pace when isolated one on one, catching the player and having the composure to control it and turn the player when being disposessed would surely have cost a goal, it was a very polished piece of play. he did however miss a half-decent chance from a corner and frustratingly was booked again, this time for repeated offences when challenging in the air, he then ran off before the ref had issued the yellow and was reluctant to come back to take the booking, despite the ref's incerasing impatience and this only made the situation worse with the ref giving him a clear final warning, he would have been better served to just take the yellow and shut up, as the ref had warned him prior to this about his arial jostling. it was his 3rd yellow in 6 games thus far this season, but his defence has now kept 3 consecutive clean sheets and the side is unbeaten in 4.
Kevin Maher captained southend, had a busy game, under the cosh for most of it struggling to set posession up outside their own half.

Garry Breen played for Man City's reserves as they beat Liverpool's second string 1-0. Karl Moore was an unused sub. Actually neither the Liverpool nor the Man City review mention any substitutions, which would be extremely odd.

<EDIT>
Moore did come on as a late sub and played the last 7 minutes
Kind of thought Keith Andrews would make it, guess not, from Wolves to Stoke to Hull, now Milton Keynes

See that Fulham have bid 750k for Kilbane
U-19 International Ian Morris leaves Leeds for Sc*nthorpe for an undisclosed fee.
Okay that link won't work because of the c*nt thingy. http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?si...2&stid=8421383. Try this
Quite the Irish contingent at the Irons now - Morris, Keogh, Joe Murphy, Cliff Byrne and Jim Goodwin.
Goodwin and Murphy have senior caps, Keogh has been talked about here for a while now and is still fairly young. I don't know much about Morris, any Leeds fans care to enlighten us?
Donal McDermott was a substitute as a young Man City side were thumped 5-1 by an experienced Rochdale second XI.
McDermott came on in the second half, and was described as "quality" by the Rochdale review.

Jonathon Douglas back to Leeds, don't know if it's another loan, but it's better for him.
