In the next podcast in our series on Irish football between 2000 and 2009, I'm joined by Mark Kennedy and Our Man In Stockholm Philip O'Connor to discuss Brian Kerr's reign from January 2003 until October 2005 - while some of his stats are impressive, was he the right man for the job?

Generations
In a recent article for ESPN, Zonal Marking's Michael Cox reviewed the previous generations of England players, their appearances for the national side and the trophies won by their respective clubs, and determined that the Roy Hodgson's side have lost a generation of players born from 1982-1988, with only goalkeeper Joe Hart and striker (and captain) Wayne Rooney emerging as top class players from the internationals born in that generation.
As well as compiling appearance data for Irish players at club level, we also analyse the same data for the international side, so we've compared the total appearances for each generation of players to determine the golden and lost generations for the boys in green. Since the birthdates of some of the earliest players of the Republic of Ireland are unknown, we limited the study to players born after 1st January 1957, beginning with Davey Langan (b. 2nd February 1957), and defined a generation as six years, similar to the numbers used by Zonal Marking in the original article.
As you can see in the table above, players born between 1975 and 1980 acquired the most caps. This generation includes four players from the top six international appearances for the Republic - Robbie Keane, Shay Given, Kevin Kilbane and Damien Duff.
The previous generation produced the fewest number of players, giving the corollary of the highest average caps per player to the internationals born between 1969 and 1974. This includes Ireland's first centurion Steve Staunton and legendary players like Roy Keane, Kenny Cunningham and Gary Breen.
Either of these could arguably be crowned the "golden generation", although we favour the players born in 1969-1974, even with the lower numbers of internationals born in this era, it still led to a large proportion of high quality players.
While the most recent generation have the lowest number of total caps, and the lowest average, the majority of players have not yet retired. The oldest players (born in 1987) are still only 28, and can probably look forward to at least another 4 years of international football, so we've dismissed them for the time being.
Finally, we come to the internationals born between 1981 and 1986. This is the first generation in the study to average less than 20 caps per player. Of the 45 players born in these years, more than half (24) have less than ten caps, more internationals than were born between 1969 and 1974! This includes players like Graham Barrett and Thomas Butler, both of whom had serious injury problems throughout their careers that limited their international appearances. But what happened the rest of this lost generation? Why did so many slip between the cracks? Was it just bad luck due to injury? Were too many caps handed out to sub standard players, or were they called up in the first place because there wasn't the quality available to previous generations? And possibly most important of all - has the FAI learned from this, or will the same mistake be made with the following generation?

Travel plans
The draw for the group stages of UEFA Euro 2016 is a week away, but the fixture list has been known for some time, having been announced in April 2014 - http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/finals/news/newsid=2095949.html - long before any team had qualified! Following qualification by the Boys In Green, Irish fans have already been researching available flights and accommodation in France.
We've always been interested in new and different way to visualise data, so we've mashed up the current airport and flight data from OpenFlights - http://openflights.org/ - with the Google Maps API - https://developers.google.com/maps/ - to create a journey planner for the group stages: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Flights
At the moment, only French airports are included - there are Belgian, Italian and Spanish airports close to stadiums in the tournament - with more to be added. Only internal flights and driving directions are included as travel options between fixtures, public transport needs to be added. If possible, we will add links to the relevant airlines.
What is your preferred fixture combination?
* Please note that Ireland cannot be drawn for any of the top seed fixture combinations (A1, B1, C1, etc) but they are included for completion

Irish Abroad player statistics for September 2014
Appearance data for September 2014: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=9
Conrad Logan's loan spell with Rochdale means he tops the wins table, winning five games in September. Daryl Murphy and Richard Keogh's four wins for Ipswich and Derby is the most wins an outfield player
Stephen Henderson, John O'Shea, Joe Shaughnessy and Matt Doherty all drew three games in the second month of the 2014/15 season
The four losses for Millwall's defensive duo David Forde and Alan Dunne were more than any other Irish players in September
Logan and Keogh also started more games than any other player, both player started six games and completed 90 minutes in each one. Keogh has completed every game he's started this season
Midfielder Wes Hoolahan was substituted five times in September, two more than any other player
Leon Best was introduced more than any other player, the on loan striker came off the bench four times for Derby
Goalkeepers Colin Doyle and Jack Bonham, along with defender Sean Long remained on the bench more than other Irish players, the trio were unused for five games
Jim Goodwin match Harry Arter's three yellow cards at the top of the bookings table
Adam Rooney was the highest scoring striker in September. The Aberdeen frontman found the back of the net five times, with all goals coming at home. Aberdeen went on to win all three games that he scored in, a feat he shares with Daryl Murphy and Robbie Keane. There's an honourable mention (again!) for Eoin Doyle, who scored seven times in September, including becoming the first Chesterfield player to score consecutive hat tricks!

Goals VS Premier League sides
Frank Lampard's goal against Chelsea on Sunday means he has now scored against a record 39 Premier League teams, eclipsing Andrew Cole on 38. This led me to research how the strikers in the 37 man squad announced yesterday by Martin O'Neill fared in the top division in England?
Unsurprisingly, Robbie Keane has scored against the most teams in the Premier League from the current squad - 33 in total, including former clubs Aston Villa, Coventry City, Leeds United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and you can see the records of his fellow strikers in the table below
Of the teams Lampard has failed to score against in the Premier League, Keane has found the net against Burnley, Ipswich and Watford
Bolton Wanderers are the team most Irish strikers have found the net against with Keane, Doyle, Long, Walters and Murphy all scoring against the Trotters in the Premier League

Irish Abroad player statistics for August 2014
Appearance data for August 2014: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=8
In the opening month of the 2014/15 season, four wins were all that were needed to top the wins table for Irish players, with David Forde, Alan Dunne, Richard Keogh, Matt Doherty, Alex Pearce, Jeff Hendrick, Andy Reid and Simon Cox all finishing on the winning side four times in August
With the reduced number of games, only two draws were needed to top the draws table, with Keiren Westwood, Darren Randolph, John O'Shea, Richard Keogh, Jonathan Douglas, Alan McCormack, Alan Judge, James McCarthy, Jeff Hendrick, Jay Tabb, Daryl Murphy and Anthony Stokes all starting a pair of games that ended all square
Danny Rogers started all seven of Dumbarton's games in August, along with Championship trio Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce and Jeff Hendrick.
Of these Rogers, Keogh and Pearce completed 90 minutes in each of these
Rogers' loan spell at Dumbarton resulted in four losses for the Dubliner, along with Rotherham's midfielder Lee Frecklington
Anthony Stokes was substituted in four of the six games he started in the first month of Autumn, while fellow striker Leon Best was introduced from the bench six times
Goalkeepers Aaron McCarey, Joe Murphy and Colin Doyle were all unused substitutes five times, while Ian Harte was the most unused substitute of outfield players
Robbie Keane scored three times in August to top the goalscoring charts, resulting in two wins for LA Galaxy, and there's an honourable mention Eoin Doyle who scored five goals in six games for Chesterfield
