On-loan midfielder Keith Andrews won his 21st Republic of Ireland cap and played the full 90 minutes as his side drew 0-0 with Slovakia this evening in Dublin. Tamás Priskin and Josh Carson also picked up caps.

Fellow Blue Damien Delaney was left out of the Republic’s matchday squad having been called into the party yesterday as cover for injuries.

Striker Tamás Priskin came on as an 80th minute sub and won his 35th cap as Hungary beat Sweden 2-1 in a Euro 2012 qualifier in Budapest. The 25-year-old failed to add to his eight international goals but created the winner in the final minute for one-time Town target Gergely Rudolf.

Midfielder Josh Carson won his fifth Northern Ireland U21 cap as his side lost their Euro 2013 qualifier in Serbia 1-0.

The Northern Irish youngsters, who also included ex-Town academy defender Rory McKeown, played the final 40 minutes with 10 men after Preston's Connor McLaughlin was red-carded.

Loanee keeper David Stockdale was an unused sub as England beat Bulgaria 3-0 in Sofia, while Carlos Edwards and Jaime Peters are likely to be in action with Trinidad and Tobago and Canada overnight.

Mark added 22:29 - Sep 2 The last time we had a full Ireland international central midfielder was Matty Holland, and he wasn't bad. Two goals in two games for us, perhaps Jewell has made a great signing with Andrews? Time will tell.

PhilTWTD added 10:15 - Sep 3 He had a knee injury (recurrence of problem from last season) but can't have been too serious. As per previous reports has been with Hungary all week.

rosseden added 13:22 - Sep 3 why on earth didnt we try to offload him, i thought PJ said that Tamas had knee issues which was why he hadnt moved along yet and warmed someone elses bench......

SamWhiteUK added 19:04 - Sep 3 Perhaps why he only played ten minutes?

Nthsuffolkblue added 22:49 - Sep 3 Perhaps we have "tried to offload him" and perhaps the knee injury and his wages are at least partly why noone is interested.
