    The under 17's missed out on qualifying on penalties. Game finished 0-0 against Poland, which meant both teams had identical records after three games (P3 W1 D1 L1 F3 A2)
    Tyreke Wilson and Glen McAuley failed to convert in a 4-3 win for the Poles

    Highlights, and a report, on the FAI's website here: http://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/23/2...011?tab=report

    <EDIT>

    turns out the penalty shoot out was not enough for Poland to go through, from http://www.uefa.com/under17/news/new...+finals+lineup
    Poland and Ireland were dead level going into a last game where both knew a win over 80 minutes would mean qualification. However they drew 0-0 and as a tie-break went to penalties, Poland winning 4-3. That, though, was not enough for Poland, though the following day they seemed set to be the seventh best runner-up when Iceland were heading for second place in Group 6, only for Austria to snatch that position and the last qualifying berth.

    17s had 2 God wins against turkey this week. The Turks gave this group a good beating last year at 16s so nice to see progress. Group seems to have some exciting front players which is a bit unusual for us. Lee o Conor scored a nice goal. He seems to have slotted right in at Utd where he seems to alternate between centre half and right full despite his size looks a footballer http://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/5550...007?tab=report

    Hope Erdogan was at the games; Europe could benefit hugely from him realising God isn't on his side.

    Wasn't sure where to put this, but I thought I'd give a quick update on our underage strikers - and it was a pretty positive weekend for Irish forwards playing for English U18 teams: Michael Obafemi scored twice for Southampton, Glen McAuley got one for Liverpool and young Adam Idah started for Norwich - a long way from senior football yet but good to see that all three seem to be continuing their forward progress.

    Idah is still well underage at that level but seems to be on an upward curve. Hopefully all of them continue to impress and we have some great striking options at underage level the next few years.

    Great to see us having goalscorers at that level. A lad from St Kevin's scored a hatrick for watford under 18s the week before but watford don't seem to be a tier one academy which seems strange.we have a Dunne lad a striker with sunderland 18s as well , a 16 year old winger at Swansea Walsh scored on his debut as well for their 18s. Maybe we will finally have a bit of attacking talent coming through

    Nice research liamo. Hopefully you're right and we get a wave of attackers coming through in the next few years.

    liamoo, would it be remiss of me to ask are you involved in youth football in some capacity, as you've great knowledge of this area, over a many number of years. If a pm would be better, feel free.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    Cheers man. No just a hobby for me. Have to say hard to beat the buzz you get when you see someone special in a youth match. Although in the 20 years I've been going to underage games I've rarely picked the future stars!but there is always the hope.. Oh Richie partridge where did it all go wrong!!

    He has a fantstic scoring record at Liverpool last season and this must be his 4th of this season. Problem for him is that Brewster who is a few months younger has already moved up to the 23s and scored last night against arsenal 23s shows how tough it is at big clubs. He wasn't included in the 19s squad this week I hope him throwing the toys out of the pram and refusing to go to the euros last May doesn't hold him back with us. The last one I remember who walked out and Refused to play for the 17s was an excellent player with an extensive posse of grannies!

    I had made out a post complaining about Watford's website and how I couldn't find anything about this lad - and then made an error in completing it. Anyway I found out that his name is Ryan Cassidy and according to his Twitter, he scored again against Huddersfield: https://twitter.com/casso_9/status/901489922661642243

    https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/irel...macedonia-test new 17s squad. These were very handy at 16s last season. Thought they might have called up okoflex seeing that he played for Brit's last week but not in this squad. Great to see Wright having moved to Villa and interesting to have a lad at Newcastle we don't tend to have many there miele prob the last one. Only under 16 in it I think is Spurs striker parrot which will surely be worthy of 20 pages over on ybig

    Marc Walsh is still eligible under 16. Only turned 16 earlier in the year, completing his move from Finn Harps to Swansea at the start of the summer transfer window.

    U-17s won 2-0 in the first of two friendlies against Macedonia this weekend. Barry Coffey got the first and Adam Idah scored from the penalty spot after Coffey was brought down: http://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/55506/2018/999944071

    Your man Parrott is supposed to be brilliant. We have a serious depth of quality underage strikers between this lad, Hale, McAuley etc. And all we need is one to come good. If you look at our current striking options and recent striking options, none have gone the traditional over to a English team from Ireland at 16 route. Long from Cork a couple of years older, Walters and McGoldrick not Irish-born and Murphy came back from Luton before kicking on again. Graham Barrett and Sam Byrne (who knows what will happen with this lad though) and Christy Fagan and Mikey Drennan have all proven over the years how tough it is as a striker.

    At the end of a pretty miserable week for Irish football, one bright note from underage football: Adam Idah got his first competitive goal for Norwich's U-18s...and half an hour later, got his second: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...illa-v-norwich
