I only saw about 30 mins of the Leeds game. Kav was his usual composed self, distributing the ball well and not afraid to receive the ball under pressure. Miller had some good moments. Didn't notice Douglas much but thought Kelly played well, and I hear he scored a great goal.

Anyone who saw the whole match got a comment on the Irish in this game?

i had half an eye on it stuttgart, i thought they all did fine but like you say Kav would have been the pick of them, but i thought Miller looked much more confident and hungry for the ball than in his spell in red, good to see.

leicester reserves v arsenal reserves 1-4

the leicester report is claiming the score doesnt reflect the ammount of say leicester had in this one and Sheehan gets several good mentions for his crossing and shooting on the night.

arsenal fielded Stokes and Tracey (who i think is one of ours, possibly a limerick man), and a Kelly and Murphy in defence who im not sure where they rare from.Stokes scored twice, addind the 3rd and 4th goals, the latter coming deep into injury time.

heres the full report:http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...69887,00.html? with quite a bit of Irish involvement

Yep, Shane Tracey is from Limerick, his older sister Yvonne plays for the Arsenal and Irish ladies team.
Here's the Arsenal review of the game:

Plus comments from the manager, he thought Arsenal were lucky not to be 4-1 down at half time. There's a mention of Cregg leaving for Falkirk at the end:

Readings Irish U-19 international Johnathan Hayes has gone on loan to Forest Green.

**tetsujin1979** · 18/01/2006, 2:51 PM

Delap linked with a move back to the Premiership. His contract is up in the summer so Southampton are looking to cash in on him now.
Always thought he didn't get a fair crack of the whip under McCarthy and Kerr, seen as a utility "Jack of all trades, master of none" type player so neither knew where to play him

Karl Bermingham and Garry Breen were substitutes in Man City's reserves 1-1 draw with Wolves last night. Unfortunately neither made an appearance as there was a large contingent of first team players in the team (Musampa, Croft, Bradley Wright-Phillips) plus a trialist from Norway, Haapala.
Wolves had Jordan Fitzpatrick on the bench, but I can't find any Irish links with him

Sunderland boss Mick McCarthy is hopeful that Stephen Elliott will play again this season despite the player being out for two months with a back injury.

McCarthy insists he will not rule Elliott out as should he becomes pain-free, he could then be match-fit within a couple of weeks.

However, McCarthy says there's no need to rush him back into the action as it could affect his long-term future.

"I'm not going to say Stephen won't play again this season," McCarthy told the Mirror.

"If he becomes pain-free in the next couple of weeks, he will be only a further couple of weeks getting fit because he's a naturally-fit young fella and we will see him back playing.

"But there's no point, for his long-term future, in trying to rush him back.

"As soon as he is fit, he will be busting a gut to play. Hopefully he isn't too far away.

"He has a problem with his spine and he had an injection that didn't work, but after three weeks that can be revisited.

Reading and Ireland u19 international Shane Long is hoping to be picked for a Football League under-21s side which is set to play similar opposition from Italy at Hull City's KC Stadium on Tuesday, February 21.

18 year old Long has featured in several of Reading's outings during the last six weeks and is delighted to have been given the chance to impress the manager and fans.

" I've got a few games under my belt now, I just hope to make the most of every chance I get."

"It's definitely a big boost, coming over here and not knowing where I'd be and I'm delighted really."

When questioned about his chances of continuing his run in the first team Long said

"We'll take it one step at a time, however if it comes, i'll jump at the chance"

Asked about the fact that Kevin Doyle was playing for reading and that they had both came over from Ireland together, he said

"Oh it's brilliant, it's someone to look up to, just to learn a few things from, he's brilliant at what he does and it's an aim for me to get to his standard."

Young Irishman, Adam Rooney was thrown into the mix during Stoke City's F.A cup 3rd round replay against Tamworth. Stoke city boss, Johan Boskamp sent on Adam Rooney, a red-headed, 17-year-old Irish attacker, and with his first touch in senior football, a header from Peter Kopteff's corner, he set up Gallagher to redeem himself with an overhead kick.

Boskamp said "I like him because he always goes for goal if he has the chance and doesn't let his head drop if he misses."

Rooney has been nominated for the FAI schools player of the year award and will be home for the awards at the citywest hotel in Dublin next Sunday night.

Hearts have offered Liverpool & Ireland u21 international, Darren Potter an astonishing �10,000 a week to become the joint highest-paid player in Tynecastle history.

Negotiations between the player's representatives and Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov took place in December, when a deal was put in place to take Potter and 18-year-old Francis Smith from Anfield to Edinburgh.

Potter's fractured vertebra, which is expected to sideline him until the end of January, has delayed completion of the transfer as Hearts are understood to be waiting to assess the injury when it is nearer to healing.

However, the player is said to be delighted with the terms offered to him, which are equal to the reported wage of Hearts' Lithuanian striker Edgaras Jankauskas, and is eager to get his career in Scotland underway.
