Ed McGinty, former Sligo 'keeper, made 10 appearances for EFL 1 side Oxford Utd in 2022/23. Simon Eastwood is probably still first choice goalie, but Liam Manning, manager since 11 March, wants to evaluate McGinty in pre-season before deciding whether to send him out on loan. “Since coming in, I’ve not seen him in any games so I want to do that and then it’ll be a decision we’ll make later in the pre-season.”

Oughterard man Joe Shaughnessy (31) has been made captain of SPL side Dundee. The centre-back was previously captain of St Mirren and of St Johnstone. He is the older brother of Conor Shaughnessy (Portsmouth).

There is an Instagram account for the site here - https://instagram.com/irish_football_statistics - but right now I can't sign up for Threads(thank you Brussels)
IMO Instagram didn't want to release it just yet, but with Twitter burning down, and mastodon and blue sky picking up numbers, it was deemed "good enough" to release, and it's up 100 million users in under a week.
I think they'll focus on getting things like searching and hashtags working before moving on to automation. If that functionality is made available for developers, then I'll investigate it.
There's a few other services that have launched recently too - spill, t2, and NOSTR (that last one intrigues me) - and if they make automation available I'll look into that too
For now I'm going to focus on getting the automation for blue sky and mastodon working before the women's World cup starts
