Liamoo, Any word on how O'Hanlon is going at Liverpool and do you still think McLaughlin might join us? After the North's last result, this might just sway him to us!

Highlights of the game with Sweden.

Was that selective editing by a Swedish controller or were we really on the back foot almost all game!

Well it's suspicious that they stopped covering the match after Sweden's only goal omitting 3 Irish goals!!

Don't know as I've only seen those highlights as well. But the Swedish FA say they dominated the first half in their report on the match. Our man in charge says we were in control for much of the game.

Not sure if serious tricky. But if you are, that was a different game...

We need a draw against Romania to be guaranteed to qualify for elite qualifying phase, right?

Here's the current group standings: http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2013/standings/round=2000313/group=2001727/index.html
a draw and we're through. Even a loss would be ok, if there's a draw in the Sweden - Macedonia game

And it's all over. Qualified for Elite Stages.

[nigel-harps1954]

Good result there. Fair play to the young lads.

[Charlie Darwin]

Eventful game for O'Halloran. Scored the opening goal then got two yellow cards in the space of three minutes.

Started off with a win against the Austrians this evening, would take a similiar result tomorrow.

Still 0-0 at the moment

[Stuttgart88]

Beaten 3-0.

[swinfordfc]

Thats them out after that big defeat.......

[tetsujin1979]

depends on the evening's game, need Austria to beat Serbia. that will leave all four teams on 3 points
we'll still need to beat Serbia on Friday to go through, and hope there's a draw in the other game, or Austria beat Georgia by a goal

[tetsujin1979]

somebody up there likes us (or at least doesn't hate the u17 team), Austria beat Serbia 1-0 to leave all teams level on three points before Friday's final set of games: http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2013/standings/round=2000314/group=2001732/index.html
The Serbian full back Radojević was sent off after two yellows, and will miss the game against Ireland

Crowley played 2 games for England, they lost to Russian, they have a keeper called Angus Gunn ..how cool is that name?

he is bryrn gunns son of norwich fame. crowley is under 17 next year as well and england have us in the first phase of qualification with 2 teams to advance

crowley actually got sent off tonight as england went out.i imagine he wood get a 2 match ban for the next competitive games which i assume wood b next years qualifiers so unlikely the brits would put him in their squad if he could only play one game. if he switched back to ireland wood his international ban carry over?is there any precedent for this at international level?I would argue it would be voided if he switched to us as it would be the same as him never been picked for england again in which case he would never serve a ban. It is in effect a ban on playing the next 2 england competitive games you are eligible for NOT club/other national team games

Donegal & Letterkenny native Dale Gorman played all three elite games for Northern Ireland. They drew with last seasons champions Holland & Italy. Ireland will need alot more luck tomorrow if they want to get through.

Fair play to him. I think there was a bit of discussion on here last season about him been ignored by the fai. Is there many of the 17s who might like to play for the republic?

I have no idea lad but if you look at the team sheet I dont think that many of that team would have any allegiance to God save the Queen (could be misleading all the same if you go by names) but that doesnt always mean that they would switch at the same time. Id say if they changed the anthem most of them would be happy enough to play for the north as Im sure they are just delighted to be playing international football and just want to carve out a career for themselves like any young player would. It seems that they have a very good crop coming through and no doubt some of boys at FAI are probably keeping tabs, well you would like to think they are anyway but FAI are a strange animal when you look how they kept faith with Trap & Co

Not looking good for the Republic here today as they need to better Austria's result and they are currently winning 2 nil against Georgia.

[cestlavie]

2-1 now for Austria against Georgia so another goal for Georgia to get a draw and Republic score a winner against Serbia and they would go through by my calculations.

[cestlavie]

Republic 1 up now with a penalty and Serbian player sent off in same incident it appears. If Georgia score Republic will go through.

[cestlavie]

All over, Drew 1 all, Austria are through to the Championship finals courtesy of 2-1 win against Georgia. Probably fair result considering they missed an 85th minute penalty in first game against Republic.
