was he not left back? huntington and ramage centre back?
Carr was left back yeah , hopefully he will be left back in Newcastle in future for Ireland games
He had a horrible start to the game but warmed up as time went on.
He actually made a few nice plays in the second half once he got over his nerves, and looks decent.
Also hit a good strike which went off the post.
I wouldn't write him off yet Eirebhoy, just because Stan threw him into the fire doesn't mean he's altogether ****e.
Good start for O'Brien at Hibs, lots of mentions of Pace?

Hibernian then rang more changes with Stevenson, O’Brien and Hogg replacing Benjelloun, Glass and McCormack. The introduction of O’Brien meant a switch from the left side of the field to the right for Zemmama who was having an excellent game.
Hogg’s first involvement was almost an embarrassing one as his diving header to clear a Stirling cross almost ended up in the back of his own net but thankfully the ball fell the wrong side of the post giving the home side a corner kick, from which Ma-Kalambay saved well from a Nugent header. Zemmama then shot wide from twenty yards after fine build up play involving Beuzelin. It was the little Moroccan’s last involvement in the game as Gray soon replaced him.
Hogarth then punched clear a Hibs corner but only as far as Chisholm, the Hibernian skipper for the day hit a powerful effort but could not penetrate a ruck of players in the Albion penalty area. Beuzelin then had a shot blocked from twelve yards before Gray curled an effort wide from the edge of the box. An O’Brien run down the left wing caught out the Albion defence and the winger was fouled by Hay but while everyone expected a free kick the Hibs player simply got to his feet and hit a fantastic cross that was volleyed past Hogarth by Donaldson A fantastic goal and a clinical finish that had every one of the 1,200 Hibs fans on their feet to applaud the pace and bravery shown by the winger in particular.
O’Brien once again used his pace to get past Hay and his cross found Gray but the strikers shot was blocked, the ball then fell to Beuzelin who with time to pick his spot scooped his shoot over the bar when most expected him to score. Hay was once again left for dead seconds later as O’Brien used his pace to exploit the right back before crossing for Donaldson but Graham did just enough to deflect the ball wide.
He's very fast you know, makes you wonder why Mick the Miller got so few caps
Alan O'Brien has been released from non-league, Gateshead United after a 6 month spell. Bit mad to think that he has 5 international caps. Wonder would he consider moving back to Ireland? He would suit a team like Pat's?

Any chance the guys at Coolmore can work on some sort of Ian Harte / Alan O'Brien hybrid?Originally Posted by cavan_fan
The result would be Gareth Bale or a player with the propensity to drop down the divisions like Anglo-Irish Bank's share price.
Alan O'Brien has signed for Hungerford Town FC in the Southern League. Scored on his debut. I don't see a call-up any time soon though...
He's awful fast.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Unless Delaney appoints Pat Devlin onto Traps back up team.
Always look on the bright side of life
The full stop after fast is the problem.
