Poor Cillian Sheridan.

"The match in Turners Cross last night between Cork City and Shamrock Rovers featured a player who (if my sources are correct) has more European appearances than all of the starting 11 for Ireland last Wednesday night, bar Given, combined. Dan Murray, captain of league winning teams at Cork in 2005 and Shamrock Rovers in 2010 and 2011, played over 35 times (he, himself, does not know the exact number) in European club competitions."
Sheridan warmed up for Barcelona this week by scoring the winner for APOEL against Ermis at the weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcNQnSAn5J8&t=1m42s
Two goals this weekend for Sheridan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7N1j_mF1F0

The loser has to stop using their acronym
The keeper for the first one
A little piece about Sheridan's GAA background. They overstate the importance of last night's game somewhat.
From the Cavan U16s to the Champions League

Can't see him saving anything unless the ball actually hits him.
he's left apoel - destination unknown.

fair play to him - took a chance on playing abroad and got to play in the champions league. played at the nou camp, not many others in the squad can say that. given and o'shea (maybe) spring to mind.
Don't think O'Shea played there, I think the only opportunity would have been the 2008 semi final when he was an unused sub. McGeady would have played there for both Celtic and Spartak Moscow. Stokes also.
Roy Keane and Denis Irwin would have played in the Nou Camp for Man Utd in the Champions League.
Edit: Current squad, my mistake
The only three in the current squad to have played in the Nou Camp
Shay Given - Barcelona v Newcastle 11th Dec 2002
Aiden McGeady - Barcelona v Spartack Moscow 19th Sep 2012
Anthony Stokes - Barcelona v celtic 11th Dec 2013

Must be old news but it's new to me. Joined APOEL's city rivals Omonoia Nicosia last month and is expected to make his debut tonight.
Oops... that was actually last night, he didn't make his debut and they lost 1-0
Paul McCartney supported Omonoia. Wrote a song about them too.

Did some digging on Omonoia's website, found the news post for his signing: http://www.omonoia.com.cy/?section=news&nid=3332#
That's some beard
Interesting reading about the club. They're basically a breakaway from APOEL, like how many rival clubs in the one city are formed I suppose, due to political factors. They've had some serious domestic success, especially considering they were only established in the late 40's. Omonia means concorde in Greek, or unity in English. The green/shamrock is a seen as a symbol of hope and Wikipedia says it also represents anti-British and anti-colonial sentiments. They share a stadium with APOEL so Sheridan will be used to his surroundings. This is a presumably biased account of their history from their largest fan group, Gate 9, but worth a look at Wikipedia as well for both APOEL and Omonia's histories.
