Neither here nor there since the move won't happen but he can kiss another Ireland cap goodbye if he goes to Bulgaria. Sad that he was never given a chance at Celtic despite making a marvellous first impression, while donkeys like Samaras and Fortune get to play week in week out. ------------- "England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out?

he was given a chance
made a good start when first came into the team, remember a great goal against Kilmarnock. Started against United in the CL as well that season,
Towards the second half of Strachans last season he got plenty of game time and wasn't good enough
farmed out to plymouth and then st johnstone and didnt exactly set the world alight there either |

I'm usually all for Irish players moving abroad but I would understand if Cillian stays in Britain. He's from Cavan for God's sake. He wouldn't last a week in Sofia. I was really hoping Juventus would come in for Kevin Doyle. Their loss. If they want to finish 7th in Serie A every season that's their prerogative. They have been crap because they don't have enough players with the temperament Kevin Doyle has. ------------- "England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out?

I still don't rate Samaras and Fortuné was atrocious last season, so I hope Lenny's judgement proves right in letting Shero go. He was still fairly raw, but he's an honest lad and did well at St Johnsone and was certainly no worse than the 2 mentioned above.

CELTIC striker Cillian Sheridan is in line for a surprise £350,000 move to CSKA Sofia, with the Irish striker in the Bulgarian capital this weekend for talks about a possible transfer.
The 21-year-old has spent most of the past two seasons on loan but was part of the Celtic squad for the recent tour of America. But with Gary Hooper's arrival knocking Sheridan down to fifth in Neil Lennon's striker pecking order behind Georgios Samaras, Marc Antoine Fortune and Morten Rasmussen, Celtic are open to cashing in on the player as he enters the final year of his contract. Sheridan enjoyed a sucessful stint with St Johnstone in the second half of last season, his form earning him a full international debut in May. His likely departure comes on the back of the sales of Stephen McManus, Artur Boruc, Zheng Zhi, Simon Ferry and Paul Caddis that have raised in the region of £4 million, the sum Lennon has so far spent extensively reshaping his squad. Any move by Aiden McGeady would greatly strengthen the Celtic manager's hand in the transfer market but according to quotes attributed to the Celtic winger in a daily Russian sports newspaper, McGeady says it is "unlikely" he would move to Spartak Moscow, so far the only serious bidders for him with a £9m offer. McGeady is reported to have said he did not believe the move to Russia would improve him as a player. The 24-year-old made his first appearance of the season in yesterday's 2-2 draw against Lyon but was overshadowed by 19-year-old James Forrest on the opposite wing. Lennon admitted McGeady had been "a bit flat" after his injury lay-off but said he would feature today against Arsenal providing the back injury said to have kept him out of the 3-0 Champions League defeat in Braga did not play-up overnight. And if he came through this afternoon, Lennon would consider him for the return leg in Glasgow on Wednesday. "It will be a football decision," he said, a reference to the suggestions he was not played in Portugal so he would not be ineligible to apear for Spartak in the Champions League. ------------- "England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out?

CSKA Sofia is ready to pay GBP 350,000 for Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan, who is in the Bulgarian capital this weekend for talks about the surprise move, the Scotsman reported. The 21-year-old has spent most of the past two seasons on loan but was part of the Celtic squad for the recent tour of America. Celtic are said to be open to cashing in on the player as he enters the final year of his contract. The striker is expected to attend the first round of the Bulgarian National Football Championship, which will include a match between top teams and arch-rivals CSKA and Levski on Sunday. A decision on whether he will be the new addition to CSKA is due in days. Cillian Sheridan is the second striker, who comes to sign up with CSKA for the last four days. On Wednesday the club contracted Italian Cristian Tiboni. ------------- "England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out?

when coleman and duffy are getting their games and showing trap their potential, mcshane will be out of the squad at the drop of a hat. i don't know why mcshane is still there. it is embarrasing. trap said "i have faith in him". you have faith in a player who was in the worst defensive team in the premiership? and when he was in sunderland conceding 7 against everton??! this is a shocking defender full stop. doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground. i will agree he shouldn't be in the squad. though kilbane is merely being used as experience as trap says so i doubt he will play. just a mentor for the younger players. ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

Celtic striker Cilian Sheridan is considering an offer from CSKA Sofia after travelling to Bulgaria for talks. Sheridan, 21, was a guest of CSKA at their derby match against Levski Sofia on Sunday and should make a decision on his future before the end of the week. The Republic of Ireland cap was on loan at St Johnstone last season. "There's been an offer from a Bulgarian club and we've given him permission to go over and see what he thinks," said Celtic manager Neil Lennon on Sunday. Sheridan has twice been capped by his country after graduating from the Under-21 side. During his time with Celtic, he has also spent loan spells at Motherwell and Plymouth Argyle. ------------- "England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out?

Cillian Sheridan has agreed terms with CSKA Sofia, according to the club’s technical director Emil Kostadinov. The Republic of Ireland striker must now wait for CSKA and Celtic to agree the deal, before clinching a move to the Bulgarian capital. Sheridan was a spectator at CSKA’s derby match with Levski at the weekend, in which his prospective new side lost 1-0. After being shown around the city and the club’s facilities, he flew back to Ireland to mull over the offer put to him by this season’s Europa League participants. Now CSKA claim Sheridan has settled on personal terms with them and will join by the end of the week, provided they can successfully negotiate with Celtic to release the 21-year-old from his contract. “With Sheridan, things are completed,” Kostadinov told the Bulgarian press. “It is clarified. It only remains for both clubs to agree. I hope by our next match in the play-offs for the Europa League he is here.” CSKA Sofia hold a 3-0 advantage over Northern Irish side Cliftonville in the third qualifying round of the Europa League and will travel to the UK on Wednesday ahead of the second leg. All being well, Sheridan will meet with his new team-mates and travel back to Sofia ahead of their league game against Chernomorets on Sunday. “I came over to see what the club was like and whether I liked it,” Sheridan said at the weekend. “I am looking forward to being here. “I know next to nothing about CSKA although I watched them play Fulham and Roma in Europe last year and they looked good.” ------------- "England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out?

WE'VE BEEN buying their villas and ski holidays for years and now it's our turn to sell something to them, as Celtic's Cillian Sheridan is finally on his way to Bulgaria, writes AIDAN FITZMAURICE. The Cavan native, capped twice at senior level, will line out for the Irish U21 side against Estonia tonight, the first part of a busy week for the player. After that he will link up with the senior squad for tomorrow's friendly against Argentina and the following day is expected to complete his move to CSKA Sofia. It's a big move for a player, risky already to leave Celtic without the pressure of becoming the first Irishman to play in Bulgaria, but he says he's happy to take the chance. "I know there are a few Brazilians playing in the league out there but I think I will be the first man from Ireland," Sheridan told the Herald. "It's funny that myself and Aiden McGeady are both leaving Celtic at the same time and heading to the same part of the world. I spoke to Aiden last week when he was over in Moscow. He's looking forward to that move if it works out and I am looking forward to Sofia. "It's a risk and a big step. The hardest thing will be settling in. It's a new country, a new culture and a new language but I'm willing to give it a go. Hopefully if the football is going well for me, everything else will fall into place. "It's got the potential to be a really good move for me. If I can do well I can get to play in Europe and hopefully keep my place in the Ireland squad. It's all agreed, I just have to go over and sign. I'm not sure when that will happen, maybe Thursday or Friday of this week but I expect it to go through. "They have agreed a fee with Celtic so it's just down to me. But the first thing for me to focus on is the Estonia game with the U21s," he said. |

Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan is flying to Bulgaria today to finalise his transfer to CSKA Sofia. The 21-year-old Republic of Ireland international told reporters after the Republic’s defeat to Argentina in last night’s friendly that he is heading for Sofia. He said: “I’m flying out to Sofia tomorrow so I think it should be finalised then. In the next few days, hopefully, I’ll have it all sorted out.” The player, who has already had spells at Motherwell, Plymouth Argyle and St. Johnstone, said that the most important thing for him is to play regular football. He also said that he realises he will be slightly under the international radar at CSKA: “First and foremost I need to play. I know going out there I could easily be forgotten about but it’s up to me to play every week, score a few goals and make a name for myself, and hopefully that will keep me in their thoughts.”
“I think I should have done better. I gave the ball away a few times with sloppy touches and things like that so there’s definitely a lot of room for me to improve. “Obviously it was a bit heavy but when you’re playing in a match like this the adrenaline kind of kicks in and I can ‘t use that [the U-21 game] as an excuse.” He also acknowledged the quality of the opposition. “They are an unbelievable side, probably the best team I’ve played against. The way they kept the ball and found little gaps everywhere, it was a real eye opener,” said Sheridan. ------------- "I Shall Not Be Provoked." Propagandhi, 2010 |

just read the report of the match there and no mention of Sheridan at all in it (he did come on after 54 mins though) so looks like he wasn't involved directly in any of the goals.
Still, good to see him being involved straight away. good luck to the lad

Aiden McGeady was not the only Celtic player to raise eyebrows with a surprise move abroad this summer. Cillian Sheridan may not have left with a £10m price tag around his neck, but the Irishman’s switch to CSKA Sofia was similarly intriguing. The forward’s four years in Glasgow were interrupted by loan spells in Motherwell, Plymouth and Perth, so Sofia didn’t feature high on Sheridan’s list of possible destinations when making a permanent exit. Yet, the 21-year-old decided to eschew convention and go for it. Time will tell whether he has made the right choice, but the early signs are encouraging. As he spoke to Herald Sport, Sheridan was lounging beside his private pool in 35°C heat. The football has been kind too. Sheridan made his league debut in a 1-0 win over Cherno More on Sunday and will be in Wales tomorrow for the second leg of CSKA’s Europa League play-off tie against TNS. Providing his new club avoid a four-goal defeat, he will be gracing the group stages. “I got a call at the start of the summer and I was a bit hesitant,” he said. “I didn’t know much about the club or the country but the more I spoke to people, the more I started to like the idea. “I came over and the club made me really welcome and after that, my mind was made up. I’m settled in a flat and the city looks really good. The only big problem is the alphabet. “I had a chat with Aiden before we both left and he texted me on Monday asking how I was getting on. He made a big move but he feels he’s made the right decision and I think he’ll do really well over there.” Sheridan knows all about huge decisions. Aged 17, he was faced with the biggest dilemma of his life. A precocious Gaelic footballer, he was offered the chance to join Australian Rules team Brisbane Lions but instead opted for a deal at Celtic. He remains convinced it was the right choice. He said: “I’ve never regretted it for one second and I never will. It was an unbelievable experience and it’s a period of my career that will always stay with me. “Starting against Man United at Celtic Park and playing against the likes of Rio Ferdinand was a dream for me. I made a lot of good friends and when I look back I’ll only have good memories of my time at the club. “It was hard to leave but it didn’t look like I was going to feature regularly so I had to make the decision. I need to move on and play first-team football and hopefully I’ll be able to do that with CSKA.” Given that the coach who signed him, Pavel Dochev, left CSKA 24 hours after Sheridan’s arrival, the Republic of Ireland internationalist could have been forgiven for wondering what he’d let himself in for, but Gjore Jovanovski’s appointment as the new head coach has been well-received. “We beat TNS in the Europa League last week and we’ve got the return in Wales,” he said. “Hopefully we can get through and then you never know what could happen in the group stages – we might even get Celtic.” ------------- "I Shall Not Be Provoked."

 Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has called up CSKA Sofia striker Cillian Sheridan for the forthcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Armenia and Andorra. The 21-year-old former Celtic player was not in the initial 25-man party named by Trapattoni’s assistant Marco Tardelli last week, but has now been drafted in. The Republic open their Group B campaign against Armenia in Yerevan next Friday evening, before taking on Andorra at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin the following Tuesday. http://breakingnews.ie/sport/trap-hands-sheridan-republic-berth-471120.html#ixzz0xp2Yzdv9 - http://breakingnews.ie/sport/trap-hands-sheridan-republic-berth-471120.html#ixzz0xp2Yzdv9 |

Lads,
I'd give the lad a break - he is only a youngster.
He could be moulted into a Cascarino type player.

your posts are about as useful as a sack of hammers. i can understand ya havin a go at players like mcshane or kilbane but lay off sheridan. he had a good game when he played against algeria. fair fcuks to the lad for playin against the argies. he played 90mins of a match the night before so he was bound to look sluggish. i never see you with a positive post. i'm all for a person on this forum having an opinion but saying the same stuff over and over again is just plain infuriating. ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

man a ball hasn't been kicked, you can't be finding anything positive or negative to say. wait til friday and watch the match and then say your piece. for now, you can't keep bashing the team. trap did a great job in picking up a demoralised team and making them worthy of qualifying for a world cup. the world was behind us. that takes some doing. he has persona and character and i trust him to take us through. now, i'm like you, i'd love to see wilson, mccarthy, coleman and stokes playing in the team but truth is, 3 of those players are not even 22. trap prefers to play senior players in a senior squad. i'm sure if these players keep their heads down, perform for their club teams, then they will eventually get their cap. but for now, i just want us to qualify for euro 2012. i don't care how we do it, but if we do, those 4 players will be 24, 21, 23 and 23 respectively and will be more mature for a much more secure place in the team. that is my view on what traps mentality is regarding these players. ok yes, he tried out cunningham. but he obviously feels he has more of a level head then some of these players. he doesn't want to throw players in too fast because they could have a bad experience. if we're not getting the results, then his team selection will obviously be called into question. but until then, i'm standing by him and if you are an ireland supporter, you should too.

Like most of the lads and lassies on this forum, I don't exactly agree with some of Trap's selection policies. But then again, I haven't had a 50 year career in professional football playing for and managing teams at the highest level. Fair play to Cillian Sheridan, hopefully he'll use these opportunities to show us what he can do. Although I've never personally been impressed when I've seen him, you got to give it up for the lad for agreeing to such a bold move.  He's obviously got something between his ears. Remember he's still a youngfella, so who knows how he'll develop? Good man Cillian, don't let the bar stewards bring you down. |

@city4life
I dont think you have ever posted a constructive post.
Sheridan is not the best but he is young and he will learn.
Personally I'd prefer to see Stokes ahead of him or even Jon Walters for that matter.
But give the lad a break.
As for Kilbane - his time has come and he should stand down but he has been a good servant to Ireland over the past few years. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Lads,
He's entitled to his opinion whether positive or negative, everyone is entitled to post and there is no pre-requisite that it must be constructive.
I hope Sheridan does well, but Ireland have had alot of young prospects come and go and most of them have failed, due to the fact that we are measuring them off Robbies standards.
If Quinn and Cas came along now we would be laying into them also !

CSKA sack Jovanovski, search for eighth coach of year
http://uk.rd.yahoo.com/sports/providers/reuters/SIG=114rh0n4s/**http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.co.uk%2F - Fri, 22 Oct 09:36:00 2010 CSKA Sofia have sacked Macedonian coach Gjore Jovanovski in the wake of their Europa League home defeat to Rapid Vienna, the Bulgarian club said on Friday after parting company with their seventh manager of the year. Thursday's 2-0 loss was CSKA's third in as many matches in Group L, leaving them bottom of the standings behind Porto, Besiktas and "We had no choice but to act after the negative results in the past weeks," CSKA president Dimitar Borisov told local media, adding that sporting director Emil Kostadinov would also vacate his post. The match against Rapid was also marred by crowd violence as several hundred CSKA supporters clashed with riot police outside the Vasil Levski national stadium after the final whistle. Angry fans, who have protested against the club management's policy on several occasions, threw plastic bottles, flares and other objects during the incident. On Friday, Police said they had arrested 18 CSKA supporters while four policemen had sustained slight injuries. Former Jovanovski, 54, took over from Pavel Dotchev nine weeks ago but could not produce a significant improvement in the team's results both domestically and in The 31-times Bulgarian champions are ninth in the league standings on 13 points from 10 matches, 12 points behind leaders and city rivals Levski Sofia. CSKA have yet to make an official announcement but former players Sasho Borisov and Milen Radukanov are expected to be taking charge of the side for the league match at Minyor Pernik on Sunday. |
