a shocker indeed Stutts, every week I watch linos pretend they cant see the CB pulling the shirt off the striker, while simultaneously trying to mount and hump him, and when one finally grows a pair and makes a call......... this is what he goes and does.
the card has been rescinded today, hope he's proud of that one.
as for the game, i wasnt there, lcfc dont exactly inspire midweek travelling just now. but it seems Garvan was busy, lots of shooting from distance for him which is good to hear. Sheehan was restored to the line up, this time in midfield, and he is mentioned as having delivered some quality balls. Hayes also got 20 mins on the left near the end.
Lee, Walters and Garvan for ipswich with Clarke getting on as injury time sub.
OS report here http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...,10274,00.html
a little help here please boyos,
leicester u18s played tonight, with an O'Brien in goal, an O'Neill and a Burns and a Billy Kee also involved, now the leicester OS doesnt profile its players anymore, and id like to know how many, if any of these players are ours.
any site which does that? or whats the best way of going about it?
report here; http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...189306,00.html

Doran of Blackburn is apparantly an excellant prospect.
O'Brien is Kevin O'Brien, can't find anything out about him
The "O'Neill" is Luke O'Neill, but I can't find anything out about him either.
"Burns" is Robbie Burns, and I can't find anything about him either.
I got their full names from the Blackburn review of the game: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...189521,00.html
From reading this thread - http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/lo...?t41498-0.html - it looks like Billy Kee is a local lad
Don't know of any site that lists academy players, other than the official site of the club involved.You can tell he's from 'Sorrel, just by looking at him.
The only real way is to start googling the players name, add in "+Ireland" or "+Irish" and see if he shows up. Adding in "site:fai.ie" can help as well, this restricts searches to the FAI's website. If the player has ever been in an international squad at any level, then his name will show up in the search.
Like I did above, you can read the opposing team's review of a game for player names as well.
Aaron Doran is Irish: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...081682,00.html
A lad called Conor Kavanagh came on for Blackburn as well, he's played for the U-16's: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...889576,00.html
There's two lads called O'Connor playing for Blackburn as well, both their profiles list them as English, but that doesn't mean they don't qualify:
Callum O'Connor: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...081689,00.html
Michael O'Connor: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...889594,00.html (looks disturbingly like Alan Smith)
Ian Daly and Donal McDermott started for Man City's Academy side as they beat Millwall's Academy 5-1 in the FA Youth Cup. Both scored, with Daly's goal coming from the penalty spot. He also missed an earlier penalty. Millwall had a lad called Pat (or Patrick) O'Connor in defence, but I can't find anything out about him.

Chris McCann scored for Burnely today and then got sent off two minutes later! Hunt, Morrisson, Tabb, Folan and Garvan also on the scoresheet.
Shaun Scannell scores the winner for Palace.
A couple of pics of Scannell celebrating his first senior goal. He's 17 but looks even younger in these photos.

I see a few sites have him down as Sean now so I'll go with that from now on.
more...ALL the talk may be about John Bostock, but it is arguably another Palace youngster who has made the bigger impression in recent weeks.
First year scholar Sean Scannell helped turn the game in the Eagles' favour at Loftus Road last week, and he was equally effective in stretching the Barnsley back-line when he emerged as a 55th minute substitute on Saturday.
The youngster - who has notched 12 goals for the under-18s this term, including the winner in the midweek FA Youth Cup victory - was presented with two half-chances at Oakwell, only for his composure to desert him on both occasions.
But if his snatched shots belied his tender years, Scannell's impressive maturity off the pitch spoke of an old head on young shoulders.

Way to go Seanie boy. I saw his name come up as "Shaun" on Sky's Gillette Soccer Saturday and thought it looked wrong. He's been discussed on foot.ie and fai.ie as "Sean". Clinton's assist too from what I read.

Palace have not lost a game in which Clinton Morrison has scored this season
Congratulations to Sean Scannell on his first of his career
Graham Barrett has 5 goals in his last 9 games
Noel Hunt has 9 goals in 18 games for Dundee United, although 3 of those were in the same game
Willo Flood gets his first of the season

John O'Shea continues his record of coming off the bench in every away game
Aiden McGeady has 7 bookings this season, 5 of those away from home.
He's the head off of Steven Pienaar.
Hopefully he'll turn out to be as good as well.
Man City's reserves played the Thai national side on sunday, with Garry Breen, Paul Marshall and Karl Moore all getting introduced at half time. Michael Daly also came off the bench in the second half.
Review on City's website here: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pa...&newsid=516030
From BBC gossip section:
Leicester are planning a £1.5m swoop for Plymouth star David Norris. (Daily Mirror)
His booking yesterday was very strange. He got fouled and got up off the ground to confront the Inverness player. Both players had a few words for each other but they didn't touch each other and McGeady was booked. He'll now miss the next Rangers game because bans don't come into affect for 14 days.
Who is English...born in Peterborough, and no note of him for Ireland
EDIT: My apologies...I never knew
