Sorry, yeah. There was a thread in the LoI forum about it at the time. But I forget how disjointed this place is - there's not too many do be (there we go!) in both forums. And then the junior forum is another dimension altogether!

I guess Evan McMillan was part of the coaching staff at that point? Really rated him as a footballer. Shame about his knee injuryQuote:

To be fair, I'm not sure Spain will be looking at him for their underage squads unless he's actually playing. Even at U17 level a few of them are playing regular first team football and those that aren't are at the big academies.Quote:

His mother's French/Cameroonian (which is why he's black), so there's two other countries he's presumably eligible for.
France have lots of players so, like Spain, a teenager making the bench in La Liga probably isn't a big deal.
Aye, and if his mother is dual national then maybe (hopefully) the identification with one or the other country in her case isn't as strong as the father's with Ireland. That may also be borne out through the fact that the aul lad convinced her to call him "John Joe"!
I'm a little surprised there wasn't anything in the papers about him yesterday, or about Ryan Nolan on the bench last week
Aymeric Laporte is uncapped for France, I really wouldn't be worrying about them!
It'll be interesting to see if the FAI get him involved with the U19s now

Not really getting any Ireland vibes from it to be honest. Think things will have to go a fair bit off the road for him before Ireland comes into the picture.
Glad you explained that Stu!Quote:

Not much of a story there seeing as he's more than likely still not eligible and has happily declared for Sweden. Oh look at that, an actual reference and not mindless babbling

Question.... Does this guy Bowen have some irish in him? Such a nuissance player to play against, very clever!
Bowen is more of a Welsh name than Irish so if he has non-English ancestry it's more likely to be there.Quote:

Good luck to him, I like Josh as a player and he's done well for himself.
is this Roberto Lynch-Sánchez eligible for Ireland?
Lynch might be.Quote:

enough etymology, what about this goalie Lynch-Sŕnchez? any info?
I'm confused..why has he a double barreled surname?
He doesn't. It's just standard Spanish naming convention (father is Lynch and mother is Sanchez). I don't know why the Spanish speaker is getting that wrong is all
Who is he ?
Spanish born keeper. Just replaced Matt Ryan at Brighton in recent weeks. Around 23 years old. Tall.Quote:

Given the name no harm having a word to inquire about eligibility. Looked confident in Sunday’s match, only beaten by a deflected shot (not his fault). Very good distribution — immediately looked to release teammates quickly with accurate throws and kicks after retrieving the ball (before and after the red card, easy to look good afterward obviously).
To be fair to the FAI, they've been decent in recent years about approaching eligible players to declare - Christie wasn't mentioned here before his first call up, neither was Harness before he declared - so I'd imagine they're at least aware of Lynch-Sanchez, if they haven't spoken to him already
ok great, I can read between lines, good xmas gift if soQuote:

Anybody know if this Calum Scanlon lad has an Irish link? Highly rated 15 year old who Liverpool are buying from Birmingham.
