originally John Murphy was the reserve. |
|
team changes: |
There was one change to the original named line-up. John Murphy
replaced Lacey on the right wing, the latter taking the place of
Charlie O'Hagan (Aberdeen FC, Scotland), because of his club's involvement in the Scottish
Cup.
Billy Halligan (Leeds City AFC, England) was invited
to replaced Murphy as reserve, but he declined, preferring instead to
assist his club. |
|
team notes: |
Outside left Frank Thompson was playing, and scoring, on his home
ground. |
|
records: |
Ireland's tenth draw in 83 attempts. Three of which have come against
England. |

Match Report
The Times, Monday,
14 February 1910 |
|
England
and Ireland drew at Belfast on Saturday, each side having scored one
goal. The game was watched by a crowd of 25,000 people...
On
the English side, Hardy, as usual, was very safe in goal, and he had no
chance with the shot that beat him...
Scott might have stopped the shot which scored for England, but he made
several clever saves...

It was on 12 February
1910 that the Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour met with King Edward VII in
Brighton in the aftermath of the General Election resulting in a hung
parliament. The country was split over a budget that introduced higher
taxes on the wealthy to fund the welfare state, moves to reduce the
power of the House of Lords, and Irish Home Rule. With support from the
Labour party, the Liberals managed to stay in power, but there would be
another election at the end of the year and another hung parliament. |
