Someone I know has told me this 19yr old, 2nd generation Irish lad will be called up to the next U-21 national squad, pending him getting his passport through and getting citizenship.
He's showing great promise at Watford after coming back from a loan spell at Wealdstone, who a mate of mine goes to watch.
Nice to hear of more promising talent coming through, especially at such a high flying club.
just checked out watford official website and his nationality is stated as republic of ireland so can assume he has declared - btw anyone see him play last night
Yes....but then again I would;).....he had another strong game, and looks better every game.He will improve further when we get a decent central midfielder ( Gavin Mahon is a spent force ) for him to play alongside.Quote:

Still, from the 5 mins I saw I can say that at least he's not another Irish shortarse.
You need a "type of box" or even a Linux machine stutts, ye wouldnt have to worry about any of this stuff!!! Ye can record multiple things at once and/or stream more than one channel in your house.....no extra cost either just the price of the box!Quote:

I gotta pick my battles. Palace vs Watford to watch a guy who may not even decide to play for us wasn't worth putting up for debate.
F*ck me the sooner sheep learn how to cook the betterQuote:

Either of those games on the box?
The Bulgaria match is on Sky Sports 2.
Watching him devlop close up, I can tell you it won't be long before he makes the Senior Squad!......well done John Joe!!!!:):)
You're painting a picture in my mind of you as a mad professor analysing him under a microscope, twiddling with the focus to record the perfect analysis of his every attribute. :eek: :DQuote:

Pity Alan Sheehan isn't in the squad though!
Ah now, no need to be so waspish (geddit!) but it's probably just in your nature isn't it. :DQuote:

I did toy with nutty but felt it derisory, mad gives you more of an air of mystique, perfect for one of our esteemed foreign correspondents. :)
Hey i must be entitled to an award for highlighting jj and playing a part in his call up !!........ how about deducting my infraction points
I hope you're right SH - after all, i) he's a Watford player, ii) he's 2G and proud and on top of that iii) he's from our neck of the woods - but I can't help thinking "Al Bangura" every time I've seen him so far... :eek:Quote:

Hopefully the first of many..
he did well last night when he came on, nice finish to boot. Good luck to the lad.
