Unsurprisingly, Robbie Keane scored the most goals during Trapattoni's reign. The Tallaght striker notched an incredible 28 goals in five years under the Italian. No other player managed to get into double figures, with Kevin Doyle and Shane Long coming closest with seven and six goals, respectively. In midfield, Keiths Andrews and Fahey both scored three goals for the venerable manager, however Aiden McGeady managed two strikes in competitive games, one more than his fellow midfielders' total in competitive matches.
In defence, mainstays Sean St Ledger and Richard Dunne both scored three times, with all six goals from the duo coming in competitive games, to top the goalscoring charts for defenders. St Ledger possibly has a slight edge, due to his close range header against Croatia in the European Championship finals.
P.S. If you mouseover a player other than Robbie Keane in the goals section in the infographic - http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog - several other players are highlighted - why is that?

Irish Abroad player statistics for May 2013
Following the summer break, I've compiled the monthly appearance statistics for the opening month of the season in England and Scotland: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats
With the extra week of games, Scottish and Championship players lead most of the tables.
Paddy Kenny, Jake Carroll, Richard Dunne, Richard Keogh, Aaron Doran and Richie Foran all started four wins for their respective clubs.
Seamus Coleman was the only player to start three draws in the first month of the new season
Jim Goodwin, Stephen Dawson, Jay Tabb and Graham Carey started four losses in August
Paddy Kenny, Richard Keogh and Stephen Dawson all started each of their respective clubs' seven games in August, and all three players completed 90 minutes in every game
Aaron Doran and Noel Hunt were both substituted four times, more than any other player
Four is also the most number of introductions for Irish players in August, Conor Sammon and Sean Scannell both coming off the bench four times
Goalkeepers again dominate the most stayed on bench table, with three players remaining unused five times or more, with Leicester's Conrad Logan's six times the most. Of the outfield players, Stephen Kelly, Sam Foley, Callum Reilly and Conor Smith all remained unused four times.
Robbie Keane topped the scoring charts in August, with five goals coming in two games. Andy Reid's three goal in five starts secures second place, along with Anthony Stokes
Keane and Stokes' goals led to two wins for their clubs, along with Robbie Brady's two game winning strikes for Hull
Three players managed to collect two bookings in August, David van Zanten, Harry Arter and Anthony Stokes all being shown a yellow card twice

Jon Walter's 2012/13 season journey
Yesterday, I asked how many kilometres did Jon Walters travel to away games in 2012/13, taking Britannia Stadium as the origin point, and the away stadium in each game as the destination (taking his home address as the origin point would be a little weird!)
Using Google Maps, you can get the distance in the route between two points on a map, so using the away team's stadium as the destination in each case, you can read off the value and then total it up for the season.
To put 4,200 km into context, the distance between Dublin and Praia, capital of Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa is 4500km!

FIFA World Cup 2014 UEFA Qualifying Group C Permutations and Combinations
Following the conclusion of the 2012/13 season, qualifying group C remains open, with Germany looking likely to win the group, with only goal difference separating the following three sides. Having compiled permutation and combination tables for previous qualifying groups, I've compiled the same for this group.
First, some assumptions
I've marked the possibilities where Ireland finish second in the group in green for clarity.
Note that in cases where Ireland finish level with one or more teams, I've marked the group with yellow. The final group placings will be dependant on goal difference.
The first conclusion is that beating Sweden will give us the best chance of finishing second, and losing to the Swedes will almost certainly result in failure to reach the play offs. Four points from the two games would seem to all but guarantee a play off spot, assuming all other results finish as expected in the list above.
Finally, it is important to remember that the worst placed second team, after results against the weakest team in the group are discarded, will not participate in the play offs. In qualifying for Euro 2012, the worst second played team was Turkey, who had 11 points after their results against Kazakhstan were discarded. Assuming Ireland win their final game against Kazakhstan, the Boys in Green will have six points removed to determine their final position in the second placed teams
First, some assumptions
- Germany win all four remaining qualifiers:
- 6 September 2013 - Germany v Austria
- 10 September 2013 - Faroe Islands v Germany
- 11 October 2013 - Germany v Republic of Ireland
- 15 October 2013 - Sweden v Germany
- All teams win remaining games against group minnows:
- 10 September 2013 - Kazakhstan v Sweden
- 15 October 2013 - Faroe Islands v Austria
- 15 October 2013 - Republic of Ireland v Kazakhstan
| P | Pts | |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | 10 | 28 |
| Ireland | 8 | 14 |
| Sweden | 8 | 14 |
| Austria | 8 | 14 |
The following fixtures remain
- 6 September 2013 - Republic of Ireland v Sweden
- 10 September 2013 - Austria v Republic of Ireland
- 11 October 2013 - Sweden v Austria

Irish Abroad appearance statistics for 2012/13
Appearance statistics for May 2013: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=14
20 wins for promoted defender Damien Delaney meant the Crystal Palace defender started the most wins in the 2012/13 season
North of Hadrian's Wall, Aaron Doran started the most draws, with 18 games finishing all square for the Inverness winger
Relegated pair James McCarthy and Kevin Doyle started the most losses, both players finishing on the losing side 20 times this season
Derby County club captain Richard Keogh started a massive 49 games this season, and even more remarkably completed 90 minutes in each one!
Nottingham Forest's Andy Reid was substituted more than any other Irish player in 2012/13, the midfielder was withdrawn from the action in 23 of his 43 starts
Conversely, striker Alan Lee was introduced from the bench more than his compatriots, coming on 21 times in total, as early as the 54th minute and as late as the 90th minute more than once!
Unsurprisingly, goalkeepers dominate the list of players who were unused substitutes, with Conrad Logan topping the table after remaining on the bench 53 times for Leicester this season. Shane Duffy holds the dubious honour of being the outfield player who remained unused the most, the Everton defender was kept from the action 28 times by his manager
Robbie Keane's 20 goals across 2012/13 for LA Galaxy ensure he tops the scoring charts, while defender Richard Keogh outscored quite a few players after finding the back of the net five times for Derby. The MLS champions went on to win 11 of the 15 games in which the Ireland captain won, only losing twice. Strangely, every one of Keith Andrews' four goals came from the penalty spot, including two in one game! Honourable mention for Yeovil Town's Paddy Madden, who scored 22 goals, and broke the club record for scoring in consecutive games after scoring 11 goals in eights games between the first of January and the 23rd of February
Defender Jim Goodwin managed to amass a booking in almost half the games he started, collecting 14 yellow cars in his 35 starts.

Irish Abroad player statistics for May 2013
Appearance statistics for May 2013: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=5
With the season winding down, it only took three wins for Alan Maybury, Damien Delaney and Owen Garvan to top the most wins table. Garvan was also substituted more than any other Irish player in May. The Crystal Palace player hasn't completed 90 minutes since recovering from injury, the last time being December 2012
Along with three wins being enough to top that table, three draws were enough for Aberdeen's Joe Shaugnessey to start the most games that ended all square
Darren O'Dea started four losses for Toronto, two more losses than any other player
With the league run in, and the FA Cup final, James McCarthy started the most games in May, five, and completed 90 minutes in each of them
In Greece, Liam Lawrence was introduced from the bench three times, twice more than any other player
As usual, goalkeepers make up the majority of unused substitutes, with Brian Murphy, Keiren Westwood, Stephen Henderson, Shay Given and Conrad Logan all remaining on the bench for three games. They are joined in the May table by Reading's Alex Pearce who also didn't see action in May
A hat trick for Robbie Keane meant he tops the goalscoring charts in May with four strikes, and the most penalties - with two coming the same game. Anthony Stokes scored the most goals, finding the back of the net three times for Celtic. Neither LA Galaxy nor Celtic lost when either player scored, with the MLS side winning in both games in which Robbie Keane scored
Patrick Cregg's two bookings were enough to earn him the dubious honour of most bookings, one more than any other player shown the yellow card in May

Premier League Minutes
Recently, one of my followers on twitter asked did I know the total number of appearances for Irish players in the Premier League for the last few years, and had this season seen more or less appearances from Irish players?
Following the end of the 2012/13 season, I was able to produce the following table with the number of appearances in the Premier League*. Following the relegation of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2011/12 season, there was a reduced number of players in the Premier League, however the total appearances for the 2012/13 is still higher than 2006/07, 2008/09, and 2010/11.
*Note this does not include appearances for Premier League clubs in other competitions, e.g. Stephen Henderson for West Ham in the League Cup

Ireland's monthly records
After figuring out the highest ranked team beaten, and lowest ranked
side lost to, by recent managers a few weeks ago, I was reminded of
Staunton's quote that we play better in March anyway (at least I think
that's what it was, the only record I can find of it is here: http://www.munster-express.ie/sports/studsup/staunton-survives-and-its-all-to-play-for-in-september/ ) so I decided to see if I could use the same results set as before to find out what month we play best in.
The results history I'm working off of is here if you want to check any of them: https://sites.google.com/site/tetsujin1979/matches
Month P W Win % D Draw % L Loss % GF GF/G C C/G
January 0 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 0 0 0 0
February 26 13 50.00% 6 23.08% 7 26.92% 36 1.38 24 0.92
March 41 24 58.54% 7 17.07% 10 24.39% 61 1.49 37 0.90
April 38 15 39.47% 8 21.05% 15 39.47% 45 1.18 45 1.18
May 106 35 33.02% 22 20.75% 49 46.23% 123 1.16 165 1.56
June 64 25 39.06% 21 32.81% 18 28.12% 77 1.20 71 1.11
July 1 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 1 100.00% 0 0.00 2 2.00
August 16 4 25.00% 7 43.75% 5 31.25% 19 1.19 21 1.31
September 56 26 46.43% 18 32.14% 12 21.43% 85 1.52 55 0.98
October 75 30 40.00% 24 32.00% 21 28.00% 128 1.71 106 1.41
November 54 20 37.04% 17 31.48% 17 31.48% 93 1.72 66 1.22
December 9 0 0.00% 1 11.11% 8 88.89% 8 0.89 26 2.89
GF = Goals For
GF/G = Goals for Per Game
C = Conceded
C/G = Conceded Per Game
So, the first thing to note, is that Staunton was right, with a 58% win ratio, March is our strongest month!
Technically, July is our weakest month, losing the only game we ever played in July, the 2-0 loss to Holland in World Cup '94. However, December is probably worse, losing 8 of 9 games played in the final month of the year, also the most goals conceded per game in any month, with over 2 goals per game
We've scored more goals in October than any other month, just ahead of May, but by .01 of a goal per game, November has the highest goals per game
May is comfortably our worst defensive month, conceding 165 goals (probably due to end of season syndrome) almost 60 more than the next worst, 106 in October

Irish Players in the Premier League since 2008/09
A recent post on foot.ie stated the the author could not remember when
Ireland had so few players starting in the Premier League. Taking this
on board, I resolved to examine the Irish Abroad database and get the
list of players who have started at least one Premier League game in
each of the last seven seasons. With 25 players starting at least one
game in the 2012/2013 season, it is below the average for the previous
six season, which is 28, but Irish players are still the third most
represented nation in the PL, after England and France
