Morrison and Scannell scored against Wolves. 2-0 Palace.
McGeady set up Celtic's only goal so far with a cross from the left.
Clinton has to be in the next squad. Surely?Originally Posted by eirebhoy

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
10 in his last 13 games. It would be madness to exclude him.
Given his reputation for being a big mouth, he has taken being dropped with surprising good grace & dignity. I doubt Stan would even consider him now if still in charge.
leicester v coventry 2-0
Sheehan was not involved at all here, I didnt hear if he was injured or not, and with Hayes gone out on loan, no Irish for leicester.
Thornton and Best for cov, with both subbed in the last 15/20 having tried hard but not really impacted in any memorable way, Thornton had an early shot which was blocked after he got forward of his strikers and Best had some nice traps on his chest under long balls fighting off close attention of cb's each time, but it didnt ammount to a great day for either of them with the home side boasting an almost entire new midfield, well up for it and well in control.
neither Tabb or Doyle available for coventry, and no sign of Hawkins either, I dont even know if he is still at the club. ?
Keane has told Connolly, Harte, and Kavanagh they can go.

Jimmy Ryan, who won 2 FA Youth Cups at Liverpool, has transferred to Shrewsbury and made his first appearance today
he's still there alright. he's got an achilles injury. Which can be very nasty and long-term. Just ask stephen mcphail, he lost the two most important years of his career to an achilles injury and never really recovered.

one another subject, i thought stokes and particularly murphy had very good games today
Agree, and is close to deserving a starting place.
His goal was superb - anyone see it?
What a refreshing read, an article on an English match in an Irish newspaper that actually bothers to mention the performances of the Irish players feauturing.
David Kelly in the Indo:
Liam Miller, often maligned, typified this abrasiveness. It was his doggedness in midfield which produced the possession for the first of a brace of goals from another player to attract his share of derision, Kieran Richardson.
Daryl Murphy was also an outstanding performer, graft and work ethic personified, while Stokes responded to Keane's public urgings with a vigorous display. Even Dwight Yorke, despite a hesitant opening 20 minutes, stood up to the plate. Unfortunately for the benched Paul McShane, the reunited defensive pairing of Nyron Nosworthy and Jonny Evans were imperious.

Video quality isn't great though.
Clinton's goal reminds me of Zidane's from the Champions' League final a few years ago. Think he got the assist for Scannell's goal too.
Yeah, Morrison's shot was deflected to Scannell's feet.
SKY on Saturday referred to him as "Scan-elle".
He has a brother at Palace too doesn't he... Is he gonna be "Scan-elle eile"
Clinton's available on a free in the Summer isn't he???
Yes, I think so.
I'm obviously looking through green-tinted specs, but I think Clinton was harshly treated at Birmingham. He was heavily involved in any goal Heskey ever scored and Bruce's purchase of Pandiani to play him ahead of Morrison was ill advised to say the least.
Agree, & he was harshly treated by us too.
Great to see Clinton back on form. Think he offers something different to the likes of Long/Stokes/Keogh so he's well worth his place in the squad and could definitely be challenging Doyle for a starting spot. Added to this it's always handy to have a man of his experience around the squad...

A clean sheet is fantastic but that was more down to Portsmouth being completely off form. Any time Porsmouth really attacked they troubled the Sunderland defence and Benjani should have done much better when he got behind their defence on a couple of occasions. Anyway, they'll keep their places for the next game but Evans certainly hasn't solved their problems.
