Some quotes from the Manchester Evening News:

However, the pair (Richards and Bale) were upstaged by Ireland who, despite being stationed on the left flank, was behind most of the home side's more inventive moves.
Beasley added another when he beat Kelvin Davis to a long ball from Dunne, who had been a bulwark in the home defence all afternoon.

And the ratings:

9 DUNNE: The game's outstanding player. Rose to and won every challenge
8 IRELAND: He should be put on the ball as much as possible. Far too good for Championship midfield

Actually, now that I think of it, I saw Jeff Kenna play for Kidderminster last week.

Did Dean Sturridge play for them as well?

**Eoingull** · 28/01/2007, 11:25 PM

No, Sturridge was out injured. I was there on my first York City away game, so I knew very little about the home team. I was very impressed with their stadium. It was small and compact, but would be a perfect model for any Irish league teams. They also had very neat terraces behind each goal.

Thats a shame, he was always good for Wolves

his nephew, Daniel, is at Man City now. Supposed to be an insanely highly rated striker.

he set up both their goals from set pieces:

"Levante pegged one back just a minute later, however, Dehu powering a header home from Ian Harte's inviting corner.

And Harte again delivered from a set piece on 74 minutes, this time Reggi connecting with the Irishman's lofted free-kick to pull the score back to 3-2."

unfortunately all of sevilla's goals came from wide areas as well

**tetsujin1979** · 29/01/2007, 8:34 PM

cardiff v leicester 3-2

McCarthy and Maybury played here with the former giving away the freekick for the home sides opener and looking a sorry sight getting done for straight line speed for another after having been caught under a long straight ball, Chopra did produce a quality finish though. McCarthys defensive partner at leicester has made the most recent Australia squad.

for cardiff, McPhail played and took over the captaicy due to a change and Flood came on on 75 mins with Byrne making an appearence in the 90th min

I watched the game and he looked a bit slow, but he was deadly as usual from the set pieces.

On Seville's first goal, Harte kicked the ball up field to nobody, and they countered to score. Not his fault but he did give away the ball easily a few times in that game.

On the third goal, Harte let the guy run right past him, and he passed it off to another Seville player to score.

Hopefully it is just rust, because as of right now, for every goal he'll help you score from set pieces, he'll make a mistake in the defensive end.

Mind you, we need goals right now so we should probably have him in the squad if not the team.
