[Demesne Lad]

The Technical Director of the Nigerian Football Federation, Austine Eguavoen, was in London at the end of last month to court a number of players of Nigerian heritage but born outside Nigeria. Among them was Tayo Adaramola, the Crystal Palace and Republic of Ireland U-21 defender. (The Street Journal, Nigeria, 5 Jan)

Twitter are making some massive changes to how people access their API(the system which allows things like posting automatically) from Monday, and it's going to affect the @irish_abroad account
I've explained it in this short thread

Update on this. The Twitter changes have been postponed, with details to follow.
Without reading the quotes or replies, would you like to guess how "enthusiastic" developers are about the changes?

I'm joined by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick and Philip Flanagan of The Bottomless Pit of Football to review the notable transfers and loans for Irish players in the January 2023 transfer window, following the group draw, we look ahead to the 2025 UEFA Under 21 Championship qualifying campaign, and after Vera Pauw names her first squad in the World Cup year, we wonder who, of the new call ups, is most likely to make the final squad in July?

I'm guessing probably not an all-time record or anything, but the 10 Irish players that featured in the Derby v Cheltenham game tonight must be the highest in an English league game for a while.

It's the most Irish players to appear in one game since a Championship game between Leeds and Sunderland in September 2006!
Gary Kelly, Paul Butler, and Jonathan Douglas started for Leeds
Kenny Cunningham, Liam Miller, Graham Kavanagh, Daryl Murphy, and David Connolly started for Sunderland, and Liam Lawrence and Stephen Elliott came off the bench for the Black Cats

Looks like Wigan will be relegated, having been deducted 3 points for late payment of players. Will Keane and James McClean are out of contract this summer and could move elsewhere as free transfers, but Anthony Scully (23) has another couple of years on his contract and Jamie McGrath (25) one more.
