If its a qualifier. You don't ahve any choice. If he's pulled from the squad, and subsequently plays for the club, the club will face sanctions.Quote:

No, the rule was changed a few seasons ago - one player is enough now for the team affected to get the game postponed. (At least that was the rule under the old league. It might be different this year under the FAI league.)Quote:

Well that's me told.......! :DQuote:

Welcome to Cork Don.
I don't care. He's playing week in week out for a team pushing for Europe, and playing exceptionally well.Quote:

Now I've got to say here, I've always been a big fan of Darren Quigley but he hasn't been playing regularly for UCD this season (afaik) and imo the best 2 goalkeepers in this country are Brian Murphy of Bohemians and Barry Murphy of Shamrock Rovers. In fact, at times it is difficult to seperate the 2. Brian Murphy is 24 (born 7 May 1983) and Barry Murphy has just turned 22 (born 8 June 1985), thus (I think) making him eligible for Under-21 football (although I do stand to be corrected on that). If, however Barry Murphy is eligible for the squad I can't understand how Quigley is in before him. For the record, Quigley was born 10 June 1986.
Quigley got his nose ahead of Barry Murphy in the first place by coming on the scene first and being the Premier last season. You'll notice that once one player gets blooded into the U-21s they tend to be stuck with. When Ireland played a meaningless game towards the end of one campaign with Switzerland Given still put Henderson in goal in spite of the fact that he was 22 and would never play again instead of giving Quigley his debut. Murphy will probably never be capped at U-21 level at this stage. Quigley is behind Randolph in the queue who just leapfrogged him after a few Conference games.Quote:

Same amount of risk as him getting injured if he was playing for UCD.Quote:

We didn't have 3 players away at key times...But if it is against your club's interests - and expecially if it could mean losing up to 25% of your frist team squad - you'd have to think twice about it.
For God's sake, don't get into an argumetn with dcfcsteve - he'll tie you up in knots with his superior lo...
Actually, fire ahead. This could be funny.

You know, some teams don't even travel with a reserve 'keeper!Quote:
