That kinsella lad is underage again next year. Hopefully they can wrap it up before they play england who look strong with the likes of rossitor ,ojo and roberts

[Paddy Garcia]

A 4 -1 win against Gibraltar

Holland, Elworthy x 2, & Kinsella. We missed a penalty too.

They went one up!

Blimey another giant killing act by the Irish!!

Gibraltar have neither a Fifa or Uefa ranking!!

I suppose you could say it was a Rocky start by Ireland!!!

nice work through to elite stage with england to come

[samhaydenjr]

Wow, the team line-up included Holland, Whelan, Kinsella and Osam - is the FAI forging birth certificates en masse?

Think the scorer for ireland is tony scully the wingers son.

FT: Ireland U17 2-1 Austria. The two sides meet again at Gannon Park Malahide on Thursday (2pm) #IrlU17 (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23IrlU17&src=hash) #COYBIG (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23COYBIG&src=hash)

[Yard of Pace]

Two Anto's on the team, no less.

Balances out nicely all those exotically named players who are also coming through.

Just a question. When you look a the general make up of the u15, u17 and u19 teams where have all these players with exotic names gone?

Was only thinking that yesterday. We still had Dimaio and Baba for the u-19s yesterday but I'd like to dig out that article Emmet Malone wrote last year and see where some of the other lads have gone.

[Yard of Pace]

http://www.gazettegroup.com/sport/poame-agrees-sunderland-terms/

Jean Yves Poame has signed for Sunderland anyway.

The rest of the lads mentioned in the original article would all still be very young.

Under 16 squad

[geysir]

Elite round for 2014, starts this afternoon v Serbia.

Group details here (http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2014/standings/round=2000379/group=2002181/index.html)

[tetsujin1979]

one nil down at half time to the host nation: http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2014/matches/live/day=32/session=1/match=2013481/index.html

[Charlie Darwin]

1-1 now, Duggan. 20 minutes to go.

[Charlie Darwin]

Danny Kane sent off for two yellow, 15 left.

[tetsujin1979]

Danny Kane sent off for two yellow, 15 left.
games are only 80 minutes at this level, into injury time now with 10 players.

[Charlie Darwin]

Ah, it's only 80 minutes, I forgot about that. Serbia score a winner in the third minute of stoppage time, penalty.

[Stuttgart88]

FFS. What a p1sser.

[tetsujin1979]

playing Germany this afternoon, 2-0 down with 26 minutes gone: http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2014/matches/live/day=34/session=1/match=2013494/index.html

[Charlie Darwin]

Good to see they held out for almost 60 seconds.

[tetsujin1979]

playing for pride in the last game today against Georgia: http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2014/matches/round=2000379/match=2013509/prematch/player-lists/index.html
Kick off at 1pm (2pm local time)

<EDIT>
http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2014/matches/live/day=37/session=1/match=2013509/index.html
2-0 up with five minutes to go
draw 2-2 at full time

[Stuttgart88]

77 mins and then 80+2 mins equaliser. To concede late once is unfortunate, twice / three times downright careless.

[tetsujin1979]

that's 3 goals conceded in the last five minutes of two different games (VS Serbia and Georgia), costing the team 4 points.

this group have seemed good at under 16 level hopefully keep it going

[Kingdom]

Not sure how good the Netherlands were when they're resorting to playing Old Chicks up front....

[liamoo11]

http://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/23/2015/999941020?tab=report


won last night. on the line ups on uefa looked like masterson started left wing/upfront. is he going to b a centre half or front player? he has not played for pool 18s yet so not much info bout what he doin at pool

[liamoo11]

the star says masterson played as a winger. must b novel to b centre half one day and winger next day. sounds like a graham taylor player

[liamoo11]

http://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/23/2015/2013404?tab=report

Seemed a bit unlucky to not top group

[Charlie Darwin]

According to Marc Kenny, we were the better side throughout but couldn't really break them down. Both teams were through already so all Scotland had to do was avoid losing and they'd top the group.

Does he have a grandad from Donegal?

...by virtue of a 1 goal superior GD. It was only Gib and Faroes we both beat so it'd have been a disaster if we didn't get through, but credit where it's due.

[liamoo11]

i think we have had more than our fair share of scots at this stage! how did they let bernie get away

[Charlie Darwin]

U17s through to the European Championship finals despite losing to hosts Poland in their elite qualifying group today.

[tetsujin1979]

Draw made for Under 17 tournament in Bulgaria in a month: http://www.uefa.com/under17/season=2015/draws/index.html

Group D (7, 10, 13 May): Republic of Ireland, Netherlands, Italy, England (holders)
Top two qualify from each group, and for the U17 World Cup in Chile in October: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_FIFA_U-17_World_Cup

[Stuttgart88]

That'd be a good group to win!

[elroy]

Great to be involved but from my limited knowledge of this level, it looks to be the toughest group.

Haven't heard of him before. Seems to be English-born, only just turned 16.

https://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/schoolboys/marcus-tabi/

[tetsujin1979]

According to http://www.live-footballontv.com/ the games against Italy on the tenth, and England on the 13th will be on EuroSport 2

https://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/schoolboys/marcus-tabi/Can't find any mention of him on the FA's website, possible he's never been picked for them

Had a look at his twitter too and there's little hints of what his connection is. Pure speculation but the pic with the lads on either side of him strikes me as his Irish cousins that came to watch him play for Ireland. More speculation but this looks like an Irish granny: https://twitter.com/MTabi10/status/580101066802524160

[Stuttgart88]

Maybe he's Jay Tabbi's cousin?

Connor Ronan is new too. He was in the England squad in February

http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2015/feb/connor-ronan-discusses-rochdale-idols-and-england-aspirations-210215

He seemed delighted.
