Evan Ferguson’s loan move to West Ham is welcome boost for Heimir Hallgrimsson – but Ireland no longer reliant on him

FERGIE time.

In an era in which we are all concerned with sustainability — or at least should be — the above headline is a fine example of recycling.

For years, it referred to Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team and their knack for scoring late goals.

Now, it has been reconstituted to track the career of his namesake Evan, whose first name is also much-appreciated by sub-editors.

And now is the time for the 20-year-old to seize the opportunity afforded to him by a move to West Ham until the end of the season.

It was as far back as November that reports suggested the Ireland international would leave Brighton in this transfer window, most likely on loan.

It made sense given his lack of game-time for the Seagulls since an ankle operation towards the end of last season, with Fabian Hurzeler appointed as their new head coach in the meantime.

Fellow frontmen Danny Welbeck, Georginio Rutter and Joao Pedro all have at least three times the 390 minutes Ferguson has managed in the English top flight in 2024-25.

Hurzeler initially insisted there was no foundation to the reports but slowly but surely changed his tune to the point where it was not a question of whether he would leave but one of where to.

West Ham looks like a solid choice, with two of their three senior strikers sidelined. Michail Antonio may never play again because of his car crash. His campaign is certainly over.

Niclas Fullkrug is expected to be out for at least another two months with a hamstring injury.

The last rival standing is Danny Ings who, like Ferguson, has one Prem goal to his name this term.

As a result, attacking midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been asked to lead the line. Jarrod Bowen has done so too, including on his return from injury last night when he scored.

But his preferred position is out wide so there is a clearer path to regular football at the Hammers than at most Premier League clubs.

If the Meath native can flourish under Graham Potter, the gaffer who gave him his first taste of men’s football in England, then we can all breathe a little more easily and reassure ourselves that the past year was nothing more than growing pains.

But, with Brighton signing 19-year-old Stefanos Tzimas from PAOK for £22.9million after he impressed on loan stint at FC Nurnberg, it also indicates Ferguson may well need to consider a more permanent move away from England’s south coast.

The signing of the Greek teenager serves as another reminder of just how ruthless life is in the English Premier League.

And the fact that Ferguson has been loaned out rather than sold may be simply because Brighton reckon a solid second half to the season could help his market value recover some of the ground it has lost over the past 12 months.

HOPE OF THE NATION

Never mind that the entire Irish nation has dumped its hopes on Ferguson’s broad shoulders, it appears as though Brighton have already diverted their gaze to another bright young thing.

Ferguson’s task in the 14 Premier League matches remaining for West Ham may be as much to impress potential suitors rather than to try to persuade his parent club that he has a part to play in their future.

And it will not be just those at Bohemians — because of the 12.5 percent sell-on clause agreed four years ago — who will be following his fortunes closely but those who believe that World Cup qualification is a realistic possibility.

Because, despite his difficulties at club level, Ferguson remains a key player for Heimir Hallgrimsson.

He featured in all six of Ireland’s matches since the Icelander took over, starting the last four, meaning he has almost as many minutes in international football this year as he does in the Premier League.

He scored against Finland and could feel hard done by not having been awarded a penalty away to both Greece and England, a memory-prompt for the trouble he can cause defenders.

Ireland are not wholly reliant on him as they might have been in a previous era. In 2018, Aiden O’Brien — now 31 and playing for Woking in the National League after a spell with Shelbourne — started three games for Ireland up front.

He did score, in a friendly against Poland, but the forward options available to Hallgrimsson are not comparable to the tail end of the reign of Martin O’Neill, much of which had been spent lamenting the fact Robbie Keane was not any younger.

The Under-21s did not offer much hope for the future either. Reece Grego-Cox, Joe Quigley, Ronan Hale and Ryan Manning were the strikers named in the first squad of the year.

The first two play in the National League, Hale — now with Ross County — has switched to Northern Ireland and Manning has made progress, but as a full-back.

That forced people to look further down the conveyor belt to see what might be coming down the track.

Troy Parrott, Adam Idah, Aaron Connolly, Michael Obafemi, Glen McAuley and Ryan Cassidy were the ones creating the most amount of excitement.

McAuley was at Liverpool while Cassidy came through at Watford. Neither man has played professional football for a number of years. Connolly is still trying to reclaim some of the ground he has lost since breaking through at Brighton, joining Millwall from Sunderland this month in search of regular football.

Obafemi spent the second half of last season at The New Den, on loan from Burnley, and is spending this season with Plymouth on loan again.

The Pilgrims are rooted to the bottom of the Championship and he has started just a third of their 30 league games, scoring twice, so it is hardly going as well as he would’ve hoped.

PRIME EXAMPLES

But Idah and Parrott are prime examples of how a stalling of a career does not have to turn into a nosedive.

Idah’s hat-trick for Norwich City in the FA Cup against Preston North End at the age of 18 set the bar ridiculously high.

He has not been a prolific striker, and may never be, and that might explain why he is not a guaranteed starter for Celtic.

But his two goals — and the quality of his finishing — against Aston Villa in the Champions League should address some of the snootiness about his exploits in Scotland, including a cup final winner last season. He hit the target again on Sunday against Motherwell.

Admittedly, it might be a bit tougher against Bayern Munich in the play-off round but what a stage for the Cork man to test himself.

Similarly, there can be a tendency for some to diminish Parrott’s record in the Eredivisie but Uefa rank it as the sixth-best top flight and the Europa League is providing the Dubliner with some sterner tests.

Already, he has scored against Roma, Ferencvaros and Elfsborg, and played against old club Spurs, Athletic Bilbao, Fenerbahce — managed by Jose Mourinho who gave him his Tottenham debut — and Galatasaray.

They will face Gala — with whom they drew 1-1 at home — again over two legs this month. And Parrott’s uninspiring loan moves at lower-division clubs are now a distant memory with 14 goals already to his name this season.

Parrott turns 23 today, Idah 24 a week later. Ferguson is only 20 and primed to reinforce why he had jumped ahead of those older than him in the pecking order.

It is Fergie time again.

Traffic at standstill after THREE crashes on busy Irish motorways as drivers warned ‘use another route’ amid bus delays

MOTORISTS are being warned to slow down this morning as severe delays caused by three separate collisions cause chaos.

There have been three crashes this morning on two major Irish motorways, causing severe delays for drivers.

Traffic bosses have urged road users to “consider a different route” after two multi-vehicle collisions and a single car crash.

A crash on the M4/N4 westbound has caused significant delays for commuters.

The single car collision occurred between Junction 5 Leixlip and Junction 6 Celbridge.

TII warned: “Delays to your journey will occur. Consider a different journey route or start time.

“When approaching the collision location, drive with caution, reduce your speed and obey instructions from emergency services.”

A separate incident has seen another Kildare crash, this time a multi-vehicle collision.

The incident occurred on the M7/N7 westbound, impacting lane one between Junction 8 Johnstown and Junction 9 Naas.

A third collision is also causing delays after a multi-car crash occurred on another main motorway.

The M11/N11 Northbound is experiencing delays between Junction 25 Enniscorthy and Junction 24 Ferns.

There is also reports of congestion impacting Dublin’s M50, with both northbound and southbound routes seeing heavy flows of traffic.

TRANSPORT CANCELLATIONS

Meanwhile, Bus Eireann has issued a number of cancellations and disruptions for commuters.

Due to operational issues the 7.30am 226X from Kinsale to MTU has been cancelled.

There are a number of diversions in place for routes 214 and 216 which can all be found here.

The 323X from Birr to Limerick at 7am is currently operating 20 minutes behind schedule.

Route 115 from at 7.50am from Enfield to Dublin has been cancelled this morning.

The 109X at 7.15am from Dublin to Cavan has also been cancelled, as has the 7.50am 105 service from Connolly Hospital to Ashbourne.

The D4/D5 is operating at a reduced frequency.

Over at Irish Rail, the 5.40am Sligo to Connolly Station service is operating 11 minutes late due to a mechanical issue.

Coronation Street in another major schedule shakeup this week as sport wreaks havoc for ITV soap

CORONATION Street has announced another major schedule shakeup as the sport continues to wreak havoc on the schedule.

The long-running ITV soap has suffered episode changes due to sporting fixtures, which leave fans furious.

Friday’s planned visit to the cobbles has been ditched[/caption]

Just last week, Friday’s episode to the Weatherfield cobbles was ditched for coverage of the Six Nations Championship.

As a result, fans only saw two out of three episodes.

And in a further shakeup, Friday’s episode has been axed again as ITV dedicate almost three hours of their schedule to the FA Cup.

The action will kick off from 7:30pm, just after Emmerdale.

Coronation Street will now broadcast on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

It’s unclear how soap bosses will make up for last Friday’s episode that was culled.

Fans have watched as a horrific inferno ripped through the Platt household, with it currently unclear who has made it out alive.

The blaze came after David Platt stole money from the notorious gangster Harvey Gaskell.

Harvey’s thugs were out for David after taking money which belonged to him – putting his whole family in danger.

Recent episodes have seen Lily given a threatening note and Shona get kidnapped.

Coronation Street is available on ITVX.

Coronation Street's 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

I’ve lost seven STONE and this is my ‘magic’ go-to easy filling snack – you can make it in the air fryer too

A WOMAN who has lost more than seven stone in weight has shared her “magic” go-to snack.

Terri Lowe is also known as the ‘Air Fryer Queen’, and for good reason, as almost all of her recipes can be made in the device.

And in a recent video on her TikTok page, Terri – who has lost a whopping 100lbs (7 stone 1lb) – revealed her new “obsession”.

She began with two dishes, into which she put two eggs each, before whisking them up with a fork and ensuring they’re fully mixed up.

“Okay, here’s where the magic happens,” she said.

“If you like onion, you’re gonna add some onion. I love onion.

“And then we’re gonna add some cheese.”

She then added in some cheese to the mix – using a spicy grated cheese herself but pointing out you can use “whatever cheese you want”.

“Each of these have about 15 to 20 grams of protein because of the cheese and the egg,” Terri explained.

Once she’d added the cheese, she put both the dishes into the air fryer, and cooked for 8 minutes at 180C.

Taking them out, Terri admitted she “couldn’t wait to eat this”, as she showed how they’d been transformed into an eggy, cheesy treat that can be enjoyed in the morning or as a quick snack.

“Eggs in the air fryer – so easy, so delicious!” she added in the caption.

“High-protein, low effort, and ready in under 15 minutes.”

And people in the comments section were quick to praise Terri for sharing the recipe.

“Making this right now! Your videos have really inspired me,” one wrote.

“Trying! I’m going to mix some cottage cheese in there too for even more protein and some bacon bits!” another said.

“Looks GREAT!” a third gushed.

While others were more impressed with the fact Terri had put her ceramic bowls straight into the air fryer.

Rise of the air fryer

Air fryers have maintained their spot the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year.

Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens.

The retailer said: “In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times.

“However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.”

The only other products that “shaped the year” were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, again as households brought in gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.

“No idea that you could put those dishes in there!” one admitted.

“I’ve got the same dishes.”

“I am the only one who didn’t know you could Put dishes in the air fryer?” another asked.

“I didn’t even know that I could put bowls in the air fryer!” a third said.

To which Terri replied: “Me either!! Just found out!”

Molly-Mae Hague gets first parking ticket of the year after splashing out £770 on fines in 2024 on £200k G Wagon

MOLLY-MAE Hague has been slapped with her first parking ticket of the year after splashing out £770 on the fines in 2024.

The 25-year-old was snapped leaving her offices in Cheshire yesterday to find the big yellow notice on her luxury motor.

Molly was dressed casually in a black tracksuit and appeared unbothered by the fine on the £200,000 Mercedes G Wagon.

But parking fines are nothing new to the former Love Island star.

Last year she was snapped with one on her windscreen 11 times meaning – at £70 a pop – she forked out £770 for parking in the wrong place.

Molly recently jetted off on a £1,500-a-night ‘work trip’ to St Moritz and later shared a vlog from the stunning location.

She opened up about how she’s feeling following the release of her Amazon Prime documentary series.

In her latest YouTube vlog, Molly said: “I feel like I’m overthinking everything that I post, say or do at the minute. 

“I’m very much in my overthinking era. 

“It’s basically since the documentary has come out, everything I post and do, I’m just getting used to posting normally again.

In the series Molly opened up about her split from boxer Tommy Fury, who she shares daughter Bambi with.

Speaking in the new upload, she continued: “I’ve got to be completely honest with you, I’ve had moments over the last six months of filming, I really had moments where I just wanted to run away from everything.

“I didn’t feel like I had the strength, I didn’t feel like I had the confidence to talk vulnerably.”

Molly and Tommy previously sparked rumours they were getting back together.

But last month they were forced to hold two separate birthday parties for Bambi due to tensions in their families over the split.
