    Irish Abroad 2014/2015

    The new season for Irish players based in England and Scotland starts tonight with Aberdeen FC's Irish contingent Willo Flood, Adam Rooney, Jonathan Hayes, Joe Shaughnessy and Danny Rogers taking on FC Daugava Riga in the Europa League First Qualifying Round.

    The live blog will be back tonight with the lineups here: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Live

    Have a few things planned for the site this season, but other stuff (mainly watching the World Cup!) have been getting in the way
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Cieron Keane (yep, that's the correct spelling!) has signed for Notts County from Wolves - http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/...y-1715043.aspx - he played for the U16's a few years ago, but I can't find any mention of him since.
    Anyone know if he's still eligible?
    Have to imagine if he was with Wolves he'd have been involved more than that?

    according to the BBC report on Cieron's transfer - http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28153966 - his older brother is Jordan Keane who has just been released from Stoke, but I can find no mention of him on fai.ie

    Two goals for Adam Rooney in that game - worth our while considering him as a back-up striker? He seems to be in a rich vein of form, ever since moving to Aberdeen.

    It is Aberdeen, though. They got outplayed by a scratch Pats team a couple of weeks back.

    Jutkiewicz has shown interest in playing for us and is now a 25 year old forward about to play in the Premiership. Might be worth looking at him again.

    With the standard of players Burnley are signing - Kightly, Reid, Sordell, Matty Taylor, I wouldn't be surprised if they are planning for a quick return to The Championship; even so the signing of Jutkiewicz surprises me.

    I would wait until I see him play in the Premiership before making a call on him. I don't think he's the answer to our problems. I have never been impressed with him; he has a goalscoring record of something like in 1 in 7, which is Simon Cox territory. In that case, I would rather have Cox over Jutkiewicz; and though Jutkiewicz's recent form has been impressive enough, if we were calling someone up on goalscoring form, we could call up David McGoldrick or Leon Best.

    As I says, until I'm pleasantly surprised, I would have about ten players in front of him.

    Good to see a bit of Irish involvement in Blackburn's pre season games. Hopefully, Lenihan, O'Connor and O'Sullivan can make the breakthrough this coming season. Best getting a game too, and was disappointed to find out that O'Connell is English.

    Few young irish lads in pre season action:

    mclaughlin played left full for forest in their pre season game would be great if he developed in that position

    bolger played centre half for bolton

    Corry played for shefff wed so hopefully he is back in picture at wenesday after bad last 18 months

    O brien has been playing for derby hopefully this is the year he gets a good injury free run to see if he is international potential as it seemed he might be 3 years ago

    hoban and murray have been involved for watford

    Aaron McCarey, Matt Doherty, Kevin Foley and Liam McAlinden all starting for Wolves against Rovers in Tallaght. McCarey conceded an early goal after dropping a corner in his six-yard box. 1-1 now.

    Anthony Forde doesn't appear to have kicked on, does he? It was 2011 that he was making PL appearances under Mick McCarthy. Only made 3 league appearances in 2013/2014- has made none since October 2013.

    I was thinking the same thing, mad to think he was starting against Arsenal in the Premier League under McCarthy and not looking too bad. Apparently Wolves are looking to send him out to League Two on loan, but it sounds like that might be the last of him at Wolves: http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/...anthony-forde/

    was set to go on loan to Hibs last season, before a foot injury cancelled it
    supposedly Jackett doesn't like him, or doesn't rate him, and he's signed Tommy Rowe and Rajiv van La Parra (both wingers) already this summer, so that's going to cut his chances of a first team appearance again
    There's a few rumours of a loan deal with Stevenage online, but nothing concrete

    It has been very disappointing. He was astandout on that under19 side that got to the under 19euro semi final

    Time for a where are they now?

    Aaron McCarey- Then: Wolves, Now: Wolves
    Matthew Doherty- Then: Wolves, Now: Wolves
    Derrick Williams- Aston Villa, Bristol City
    John Egan- Sunderland, Gillingham
    Anthony O'Connor- Blackburn, Blackburn
    Jeff Hendrick- Derby, Derby- Only senior cap in the squad
    Samir Carruthers- Aston Villa, Aston Villa
    John O'Sullivan- Blackburn, Blackburn
    Kevin Knight- Had been released by Leicester, Shamrock Rovers B
    Conor Murphy- Bray Wanderers, Shelbourne
    Anthony Forde- Wolves, Wolves
    Kane Ferdinand- Southend, Peterborough
    Eoin Wearen- West Ham, Bohs
    Sean Murray- Watford, Watford
    Sean McDermott- Arsenal, Sandnes Ulf
    Declan Walker- Wrexham, Bangor City
    Joe Shaughnessy- Aberdeen, Aberdeen
    Connor Smith- Watford, Watford

    All very differing circumstances. There are some at the same club and have broken through (Hendrick, Murray, Doherty, Shaughnessy). Those at the same club but still haven't broken through (Smith, Carruthers, Forde, O'Sullivan, O'Connor, McCarey) and those that have moved on to try establish themselves at lesser sides (Egan, Walker, McDermott, Wearen, Knight, Williams). Ferdinand the only player that has moved upwards, but his progress has seemingly stalled having been loaned out by Peterborough during last season.

    Hendrick does appear to stand apart from the rest by a combination of having a senior cap and having accumulated more games at club level than the rest (Murray has recovered from a season or two stuck in neutral).

    A lot on uncertainty on the football future's of some Irish players. A bit more positive in relation to Hoolohan.
