Due to some errant bets, I watched a chunk of this game. Roda JC and Venlo are both rock bottom of the league, but VVV are particularly atrocious.

Thanks for the update on him. Think they show Dutch football on ESPN so I'll keep an eye out.

Does anybody know how Liam Lawrence is getting on in Greece?

Maguire opened the scoring for Venlo yesterday against AZ Alkmaar, they went to claim their first win of the season 2-1
good movement from him before finishing from close in

Venlo still bottom of the table on goal difference

Barry Maguire scored for VVV Venlo this evening to put them 2-0 up in the 51st minute of their game against Roda JC. Venlo did go on to lose 4-2, though, conceding four goals within the following twelve minutes.

I live a 20 min drive from the VVV stadium but I still haven't made it to a game - shame on me.
I'm also 20 mins from the Mönchengladbach stadium and have never been there either - shame on me.
I have been living here nearly 8 years now

I think I know what my New Year's resolution should be

Got an assist in the previous round of matches if I'm not mistaken.

The very definition of an irish football fan! Go watch Gladbach, they have some excellent players, ter Stegen in particular. Liverpool have a big interest in him.

Better yet, watch it on TV. Classic Irish football supporting.

No I prefer to look at the highlights on MOTD, all that suff in between doesn't interest me.

can you legally bet on sports in Ireland?

Yup, so long as there's not a conflict of interest or anything.

Maguire scored two goals for Den Bosch and set up two others in the club's 4-1 victory over PSV's reserves on Monday night : http://balls.ie/football/emerald-exi...-last-weekend/

Well, this year he’s back. On Monday night, Maguire scored two goals and made the other two in FC Den Bosch’s 4-1 win over PSV reserves in the Dutch second tier. Since returning to his boyhood club last September, the Dutch-Irish playmaker has found his fitness and form and was imperious as Den Bosch moved to within three points of third place in the race for promotion.

Looks like Roy will be on a charter to Holland post haste.

“I played in the Europa League for Utrecht against Celtic two months previously and they told me they saw that game”, Maguire told TheScore.ie.

“They invited me over to Dublin in October to go and watch the Russia game. Afterwards, I spoke with Trapattoni in a short meeting. We talked about the game, my future, and maybe coming into the Irish squad.

“There were some upcoming friendly matches in March against Macedonia and Uruguay. But, there were some issues at my own club and I didn’t play again until the summer. Ultimately, I didn’t get an invitation because I was no longer playing regularly for my own team.”

Maguire, the 24-year-old defensive midfielder, qualifies for Ireland through his Dublin-born father. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Maguire dreamed of playing for Oranje but kept his options open, regarding Ireland, as a teenager.

“When I was younger, I went over to Dublin a few times. Mostly, it was every couple of years — not every year. Our family would come over to Holland one year and, the following year, we would go over to them.

“When I was 15, I played a friendly match for Ireland. It was a long time ago, but they had never seen me play before and only put me on for 15 minutes. That was a little bit strange for me. Also, I only spoke to Wim Koevermans [Ireland's then high performance director] once or twice when I was over.”

Ironically, Maguire even faced Ireland’s under-19′s with the Netherlands at Richmond Park in 2009.

However, despite previously pulling out of Ireland’s under-21 squad for a match against Germany, Maguire declared for Ireland in 2010.

Currently playing for his hometown club Den Bosch – who are fourth in the Eerste Divisie – Maguire remains hopeful that he will one day get a call-up to the senior squad.

“Being from a Dutch background might help, but the Premier League and Championship are good competitions and maybe even better competitions. The Dutch leagues are different types of competitions, but there are good players here and it’s an especially good environment for young players.

“I really admire Roy Keane a lot. I’m a United fan, so I always loved Roy Keane. He always did very well as a player and together with Martin O’Neill, I think it’s a very good partnership to lead the Irish national team.”
