Shodipo scored for us I believe.
The FAI even took down the squad announcement. Is the second game today ?
The FAI replied to my query. The games aren't official internationals. There are rolling subs and they're playing 3 x 30 minute periods. Training games only
U21 boss impressed with Tyreik Wright, Jake O'Brien, and Ethon Varian: https://www.echolive.ie/corksport/arid-40348409.html
McGuinness starting for Cardiff.
Watson starting for Derby. Ebosele and Cashin on the bench.
McNamara starts for Millwall.
Jamie Bowden has moved to to Oldham on loan. Is he still with us? Wasnt in any squads lately
Why would he be? Kilkenny, Watson, Johansson, Devoy, Connell, Coventry for starters. He surely is still with us. It's not Don Givens in charge.Quote:

There was some talk last season that he had stalled in his development at Spurs and they no longer saw him as much of a prospect. A loan down in League 2 would seem to back that up. I'd say he just hasn't been picked recently, there's plenty of competition in midfield. If he does well on loan he'll get in again.
Not much on this thread lately..... If it's relevant, Paddy McCarthy's Crystal Palace U-21s are out of their Premier League Cup (13 Jan). The team includes Tayo Adaramola and dual qualified Fionn Mooney (England U-17 cap) who scored against West Ham and Everton U-21s last autumn.
Do we have any indication on who is hosting the u21 euros in 2025?
I ask because according to the latest FAI post we are 19th in Europe, which means if any of the the pot A or B sides hosts the next Euros we scrape into Pot B for the draw.
Announced 25th of January
Crawford contract extended. Personally disappointed. I blame him for the playoff loss. He talks a good talk but his team selections are incredibly conservative.
Heard through the grapevine that the overall budget for the 21s had been significantly cut. Worrying if true
Did I miss Dan Rose leaving Schalke to go play NCCA soccer with Marshall Thundering Herd? Feel like it wasn't talked about.
Such a bizarre move for a lad who was highly rated not too long ago. To go from playing at Everton and Schalke, to playing in college for free. He's only 18 months younger than Bazunu too
this might surprise you but the kid just might not be anywhere near good enough? lots of kids are highly rated very few make it. id wager he'd getting a fully paid scholarship over there so its worth it for him.Quote:

I like Jim Crawford as a human, he's likely a good coach, but he had his chance and to quote bobby de niro in Copland, "you blewwwwww it!"Quote:

And lets call a spade a spade, some of the other underage coaches haven't exactly pulled up trees, one or two notable exceptions aside.
