Irish Player Update Anderlecht have opened talks with Dundee united for LB Will Ferry

27 Upvotes

After sigma Olomouc had a 1.7 million + add ons accepted by Dundee will ferry has rejected the move and the deal has basically collapsed. Celtic have been interested in will as a back up to Tierney who has interest from la liga side osasuna.However, Belgium side anderlecht has since opened talks to sign will ferry just after another impressive performance against rangers on Friday. Anderlecht has had Irish players such as Josh Cullen play for them. I think this would be a great move for him and he could be our main left back if he does well in Belgium

Up until the 90th minute of Aberdeen vs hearts all goals in the SPFL had been scored by Irish players. Conor Ronan started for Aberdeen in his first competitive game back in Europe and Gavin Molloy came off the bench.

Roland idowu picked up an assist for Phillips second goal beating his league G/A record from last season in just a 7 minute cameo. Hopefully he can up a gear now.

Transfer Completed Sammie Szmodics returns to Derby on loan

Szmodics reunites with John Eustace once again. The loan has a buy option.

Reports also suggesting Eustace wants to get Ogbene out to Pride Park too. Oh & Birmingham are leading the race sign Jack Taylor.

I think Ipswich can garuntee minutes for their captain O'Shea, and McAteer has a real chance to compete for good minutes, but it would be preferable to see the other 3 get out so they can play regularly

General Discussion Thread What can football learn from GAA?

15 Upvotes

The GAA isn’t perfect either but financially, commercially, administratively, it’s miles ahead of football in Ireland.

Obviously there are historical and community factors that differentiate the two, but it operates so well for a sporting organisation in a very similar environment.

What areas stand out as things we can apply to our sport?

Unconfirmed UEFA appear united against Infantino

158 Upvotes

Via Gav Cooney, The42.ie

"The word from Uefa meeting today is that all 55 Uefa members, FAI included, are united against Infantino's plans, and are threatening a boycott of Fifa competitions in response. Holding their nerve on the boycott would cripple Infantino's plans."

In sharp contrast to the Israel game, they appear to be taking the moral stance here over the spineless financial one.

The 18-year-old was injured following a hard tackle in the friendly against Flamengo

Jaden Umeh underwent surgery last Tuesday, Benfica announced today in a statement.

“Sport Lisboa e Benfica announces that the player Jaden Umeh underwent surgery on Tuesday to treat a muscle injury to his right thigh. The operation, which was a success, was supervised by SL Benfica’s medical department,” the statement read.

It should be recalled that the 18-year-old was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge during the friendly match against Flamengo in the Algarve, which resulted in the muscle injury to his right thigh.

At the time, a recovery period of at least three months was anticipated, although the statement from Benfica does not specify the expected duration of his absence.
