Irish Under 23 Choices

With Paul Doolins first game as Irish Under 23 coach coming in mid May in Waterford. Waht team do people think he'll pick for the game against England at the R.S.C. ?

Seamie Conneely,Paul Sinnott and Karl Sheppard from Galway United should all be included.

Doolin was in Belfield for the Galway game I think though he wouldn't be picking many from either side based on that game!

Hands off our lads! They have enough games to play as it is. Seamie still plays for NUIG as well.

At Harps we would have 3 contenders in Packie Mailey, Stephen McLaughlin and Ciaran Gallagher.

What's the story with the international set up lads ? Can a player who is 23, play for the Under 23's, or are they
allowed a certain amount of overage players ?

Shaun Kelly and Ross Gaynor should get a chance.

David McAllister.

Eleven Ronan Finn's :)

I was sitting beside Doolin in Tolka the other night, he wasnt really impressed with any of the players on show, he got a phonecall from someone who was at the Fingal Dundalk game and he didnt say nice things about Shaun Kelly

Players that are born after 01/01/1986 are eligible to play in it.

Because the game is in Waterford I rekon Doolin will have a token Blues player in the squad. Gareth Cambridge, Willy John Kiely, David Grincell, Timmy Purcell, James O Sullivan, Kevin Burns, Gary Dunphy are all eligible to play in it.

Never seen any of them so I@m not commenting on them as players but I@d be amazed if Doolin picks anyone from Harps.

James Doc and Liam Mailey are over-age.

Johnny Lafferty is Norn Iron.

Duno what game that person was watching as he was our only defender that performed well the other night and he was taken off as Foster went with 3 at the back for the last 15 minutes, the 3 being natural central defenders in Burns, Breen and Hatswell.

Obviously i couldnt hear what they guy on the other end of the phone was saying but it went like this

Doolin:How is your man Kelly playing
Other Guy: ????????
Doolin: Yeah he is a bit lightweight tho
Other Guy: ???????
Doolin: Yeah he is a bit crap

Fantastic professional Doolin it seems.
