Irish Abroad player statistics for 2014/15 season
Appearance data for 2014/15: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=14
The Champions League marks the end of the season for the major European football leagues, so we've compile the appearance data for Irish players in England, Scotland and the MLS since 1st July 2015.
Richard Keogh started all but one of Derby County's 54 games, their 3-0 win over Brighton in December was the only game the centre half failed to line up for the rams. For any player, let alone a defender, that's an impressive statistic. Keogh went on to win 26 of the 53 games he started, which along with Aberdeen's Adam Rooney is the most of any Irish player. Of the players who started more than 45 games, only goalkeeper David Forde had started 100% of his club's games, the Galway player started all 50 of 50 games for Millwall. Unfortunately, Millwall's relegation and early exit from both cups meant that Forde also lost the most games, finishing on the losing side 25 times over the course of the season. Ireland and Sunderland captain John O'Shea started the highest number of draws, with 18 of his 43 games finishing all square.
Midfielder Wes Hoolahan was substituted by Norwich managers 28 times in the 31 games he started for Norwich, 90.3%, the next highest percentage of substitutions for a player with over 25 starts is David McGoldrick who was substituted 23 times from 26 starts - 88.4%.
Unsurprisingly, a goalkeeper was the most unused substitute, with Brentford's Jack Bonham remaining on the bench 47 times. He did, however, make one start for the bees, starting in goals for their 2-0 loss in the third round of the FA Cup against Brighton. The combined total of the two highest outfield players, Joey O'Brien (27) and Daniel Devine (28) only just exceeds Bonham's total!Eoin Doyle scored found the back of the net 31 times for two teams in 2014/15, 26 goals for League One side Chesterfield, but only 5 goals after transferring to Championship side Cardiff City - all five of which came in the last eight games of the season. Doyle also scored the most penalties, finding the back of the net nine times from twelve yards. Seamus Coleman was the top scoring defender, with five goals, while recent international debutant Harry Arter matched Jeff Hendrick's total goals from midfield - both Championship player scored nine goals.
Arter also received the most bookings in the season, the London born midfielder was shown the yellow card 13 times in 2014/15, only one ahead of fellow midfielder James McClean.

2014/15 Trivia
We're compiling the appearance stats for 2014/15 at the moment, should be ready to publish in a day or so
Before that, let's have some trivia questions
What player started the most games?
Of the players who started 45 games or more, who completed 90 minutes in each one?
Two players started the most wins, name either one
Of the players who started four or more draws in total, who had equal numbers of home and away draws? (e.g. 3 home - 3 away, 4 home - 4 away, etc) There's nine players, I'll take any three
Three goalkeepers were substituted in 2014/15, name them
Of the players who were introduced from the bench. who scored the most goals as a substitute? (i.e. goals scored by a player when they came off the bench, not their total tally for the season)
The two top scoring midfielders had reverse records (i.e. one scored as many at home as the other did away from home, and vice versa) - who are they?/
Of the players who scored five or more goals, only one has a 100% win ratio from these games (i.e. his team won every game in which he scored) - who is he
All answers are players who played with teams in the Premier League, Championship, SPL or MLS clubs in 2014/15

Irish Abroad player statistics for May 2015
Appearance data for May 2015: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=5
Defender Daniel Devine and midfielder Wes Hoolahan started four wins each, two more than any other player
Hoolahan was substituted in all four of these games which equals Jonathan Walters' record of four substitutions in the final month of the season
Conversely, midfielder Aaron Doran was introduced from the bench more than any other player, the tricky winger came off the bench three times for Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Sean St Ledger continued his American adventure with three draws in May, one more than fellow defender John O'Shea
St Ledger and Devine, along with Aston Villa's Jack Grealish also started more games in May, all three lined out for their respective sides five times, with St Ledger and Devine completing 90 minutes in all five
Everton duo Seamus Coleman and James McCarthy join Hull City trio Paul McShane, Stephen Quinn and Robbie Brady, as well as Richard Dunne, Jonathan Hayes and Grealish in starting three losses in May
Coleman also managed to accumulate three yellow cards in the four games he started
Joey O'Brien managed the rare feat for an outfield player of being an unused substitute more than any other player in May - remaining on the bench for four games in May, just ahead of goalkeeper Jack Bonham who was unused in three games
Daryl Murphy and Shane Long's two strikes were enough to top the scoring charts for Irish players in May, with Murphy scoring one of only two penalties in the month, along with Hoolahan
Murphy's brace came in a single game, which Ipswich still lost 3-2 to Blackburn, while Long's two goals were part of an emphatic win 6-1 for Southampton over Aston Villa

3x3 Reds
The three red cards shown yesterday to Irish players Jack Grealish, Tommy Hoban and Lee Frecklington was the third time this season that three Irish players have been sent off in England. Previous to the current 2014/15 season, it had only happened at most twice in a single season
On the 28th December 2014, Hull City's Stephen Quinn, Southend United's Cian Bolger and Millwall's Shaun Williams were all shown red cards by the referee, while on two months earlier Willams was again given an early bath, alongside Birmingham City's Darren Randolph and Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney.
