Movember 2014

We're big fans of Movember here at IA, and we're about to enter the month long event to raise awareness of men's health issues, by growing a moustache.

For anyone who wants to donate, or join our team you can click here: http://ie.movember.com/team/1782737

This is our fifth year participating, and we change a few things around the site for it
First up our twitter and facebook profile pics are sporting mo's now
As you can see, we've swapped out Aviva Stadium in the header pics for the recommended (recommo'nded?!) pic of the massive mo at the Cliffs Of Mo'her

We're mighty proud of our live blog here - http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Live - and the live updates of all goals, red and yellow cards for Irish players posted on twitter and facebook on matchday, but for Movember, we're changing things up slightly.
The fixture list update, and the summary that comes out at the beginning and end of each match day will still link to the live blog, but the live updates themselves will link to our Movember team's donation page

Please include your twitter name in your donation message, and we'll give you a shout out and a follow back!

We'll be posting updates across the month, looking forward to it!

Talking points

Brian Lenihan retained his place in the senior international squad despite still having not made his debut for his new club, should another player have been called up, or is his continuation in the squad a sign of how highly the management rate him?
Jack Grealish was again omitted, but will he be a late call up for the USA friendly?
If their paperwork is completed in time, will David McGoldrick or Cyrus Christie be included in the friendly squad
Following Shane Long's first goal for Southampton, what's a realistic target for the Tipperary striker?
After his loan move to AFC Wimbledon, can Frank Sutherland play his way into the QPR first team?
With Richie Towell's trial at Cardiff City, can other League of Ireland players make their way across the Irish Sea during the close season?
Despite returning to the West Ham bench, Joey O'Brien was omitted from the squad, given the defender's injury history will he retire from international football to prolong his club career?
