Who did Jesus score against.
Always look on the bright side of life
I bet it was from a cross?
Nailed it from 10 yards.
Article about "Fantastic Kevin Foley"
including the ultimate praise "Roy Keane is a big fan"
Treacy starts for Blackburn against Fulham today. Andrews starts too. I'm presuming Reid is injured.
From the team news from the game on Rovers' official site: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/pa...397943,00.html
With Steven Reid struggling with an injury, Keith Treacy comes in for his first Premier League start.
2 excellent passes by Ireland today for 2 of Man City's goals:

He was superb by all reports.
Went to the Wolves v Preston game yesterday, so thought I'd update the latest on the Irish Boys on show:
Kevin Foley - Mr dependable never looked phased. Gets up the line brilliantly and his overlapping with Kightly on our Right Wing has been a major reason for our success this season. Very comfortable on the ball and always looking to pass and move. A few stray passes but on overall performance 7 out of 10. Personally, think he's ahead of Kelly as our right back for the future.
Stephen Ward - Another accomplished performance at Left Back and appears to be growing in confidence. Not massively tested but quick and strong resulting in their right winger getting subbed. First and foremost he is proving to be a very good all round footballer with a good range of passing and lively game full of energy overlapping down the wing and providing useful crosses. Slowly becoming a fans favourite for his adaptability and self-belief in the face of abuse from some quarters.
Andy Keogh - Came on and looks to be back to his best. Plenty of running down the channels and intelligent runs creating space for others. Cleverly set kightly up for the cross for Iwulumo's 2nd and played kightly in with a clever interchange under pressure for our penalty. Still needs to fill out and build his overall presence upfront, however after setting up one and scoring midweek playing on the left wing is proving to be a tricky player who can play upfront or on either wing and has pace to burn. Iwulemo is out for 3 games (bar getting the card rescinded) so should get a run in the team.
Sean St Ledger - Steady at the back, however was eventually overpowered by Iwulemo, although Mawene was more at fault for the three goals. Slightly small for a centrehalf (or so it seems) and was not as commanding as our back line. Preston fans that I talked too after the game raved about him though and said that he is equally adept as a left back, which could be a more attractive proposition for our perspective.
Super Mick McCarthy - Great to hear the fans singing his name again. Has got us playing absolutely brilliant free-flowing attacking football. Have read some utter rubbish on eleven-a-side by posters slating his style of play and man-management however can defintely say that this is the closest I have seen to us playing total football down the Wolves with interconnecting free-flowing passing football which was simply too good for Preston. The spirit in the team is quality and his assurance that no one is bigger than the team (such as Freddie Eastwood) is paying dividends. With an average of 3 goals a game and a +14 goal difference after 7 games from a team with an average age of 22 that has essentially been fashioned from young aspiring players coming up from the lower divisions it is simply too good to be true. He was knocked during the latter days of his tenure for Ireland, possibly harshly in retrospect, however looking back he was a relatively inexperienced manager who has since learnt a great deal which we are thankfully benefitting from. If his name was thrown into the hat in 2-4 years time after Old Trapp calls it a day, I definitely think that we would be getting a better manager than before and would certainly have my backing.
Does anyone know how Michael Collins and Conor Mccormack are getting on at Triestina?
Lads what about Wayne Henderson
Michael O'Connor scored - is he anywhere near any of the underage squads ?
Not really as he is back playing for the North.
Not looking good for Darron Gibson - thought for sure he'd figure in United's Carling Cup plans and get a bit of competitive game time, given his good pre-season form. He's only on the bench, with Possebon selected ahead of him. Probably needs a move, whether permanent or on loan.
Oh - I get a bit dizzy with those boys jumping back and forth.
Gibson played the last 20 minutes after replacing Possebon, who got nailed by Pogatetz.
Needs to get out on loan, at least.
Two late goals from Stokes tonight and then missed a penalty in the shoot-out ,but Sunderland go through.

Missed a penalty in the shoot out, Reid and Murphy scored in the shootout. Stokes is good at scoring against weaker opposition.

In Trap we trust
Murphy is a class act. Sunderland always do well when he plays. He has got it all and should be on for Eire

What is your obsession with Murphy? Stokes did more in the 12 minutes after he came on than Murphy did in the whole 90!
Also, Andy Reid got the assist on both goals, from a free and a corner.
I identify with you finnpark, don't worry what everyone else says (except me) they're all stupid, we're the smart ones
(though I don't agree about Murphy). You seem to be slightly more delusional than me though, I've never said YouKnowWho has it all and that Sunderland do well whenever he plays.
P.S. I didn't mention the name so please no arguments
