I hope Conor Doyle got a run out. I also hope the Brady lad is not badly injured
How did James Mccarthy play?
sorry, meant to include the lineup in the first post
from http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...r-21&Itemid=11
Brady was ruled out with a knee injury, but he's been playing well in recent weeks for United reservesQuote:
Republic of Ireland Under-21 probable team:
Richie Branagan (Bury); Richie Towell (Hibernian -on loan from Celtic), Shane Duffy (Everton), Rob Kiernan (Watford), Johnny Dunleavy (Barnet - on loan from Wolves), Mark Connolly (Bolton), Conor Clifford (Chelsea), Conor Hourihane (Ipswich), Aaron Doran (Inverness CT -on loan from Blackburn), Sean Scannell (Crystal Palace), James Collins (Shrewsbury - on loan from Aston Villa).
Remaining squad members: Ian McLoughlin (Ipswich), Enda Stevens (Shamrock Rvrs), Jamie Devitt (Hull City), Conor Doyle (Derby County), Robbie Brady (Manchester Utd), Mikey Collins (APEP FC), Robbie Gibbons (Alki Larnaca).
Thats worrying really look at the squad there and the actual clubs they are playing at.
RTÉ Report
Cyprus 0-0 Ireland
Second clean sheet in a row. A definite improvement on Don Givens, there.
Interesting comments about Doyle. Hopefully he enjoyed his experience.
Derby County striker Doyle made a lively contribution and King insisted he will not be putting pressure on the youngster, who is also eligible to play for the USA but holds an Irish passport, to make a swift decision on his international future.
'Conor did well. We don't play competitively again until September,' explained King.
'I've discussed the issue with him and will not be putting pressure on him. There'll be no decision on my side in the short term. I said it was great to see him and that I'd be making no promises to any player. He appreciated that and it is now a matter of taking the time to get the right decision for him and for us.'
Whats the craic with Owen Garvan these days? Is he injured? too old for U21's now?
