Who are the stand out players from the U-19's to look out for ?
Doherty, Murray, and Forde. Murphy too up front, and both keepers are decent.Quote:

What's Carruthers like? Didn't he turn down a contract whilst at Arsenal to move to Villa?
Good 0-0 v the Ukraine sets them up for a final day showdown with Italy
Italy beat Poland 1-0 so we have to beat Italy now. Bit of this would be good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXauYVy_dws

he did i think was surprised he committed to ireland this year. Villa really is a hotbed for irish youth internationals. Carruthers is light, technically good and not fast. I think sullivan is an interesting player as an attacking midfielder eligible next year not alot of talk about him since he won under 16 player of year a few years ago.Quote:

say your prayers lads :cool:
2-0. Murphy and Murray. 62 mins.
Given we're missing a few players, this is brilliant from the lads!!
3-0 to Ireland :)
Brilliant stuff.
Does that mean we are in the Finals or is there another hurdle to jump?
No we've 7 points, Italy have 6 points so we win the group!! We haven't conceded a goal thus far and that's without McGinty and Keane. We're in the finals unless we capitulate.
Great result - Italians had 2 sent off in the last few minutes as well
Held in Romania from 20 July to 1 August 2011. Anyone going?
Terrific result for the Irish! Well done to the lads!

Hopefully Christy makes one up for Romania!
That's a fantastic result. Italy were the pot 1 team as well. Very impressive stuff. What would our chances be like in the finals?
Fantastic. It even got a mention on RTE's website :)
Weren't there quite a few criticising Doolin's appointment?
Excellent result, great news ahead of the game tonight.
Congratulations to team and management
Doolin's managerial chequebook and hoofball tactics certainly works wonders with the youths against the cream of European football :rolleyes:
Us, Belgium, Czech Republic, Greece, Serbia and Romania so far. Two groups left to complete, one with England, Spain, Switzerland and Montenegro and the other group with Germany, Turkey, Macedonia and Hungary.
So no France, Holland or Portugal who are usually strong at this level. Maybe we'll have a decent chance
Yep and i was one of the loudest critics at the time... delighted to admit I was wrongQuote:

Only heard about the result at the game last night. Great stuff, congrats to all involved. Also good to see the youth doing well.
That lad Murray, at Watford? Thought he was at Ipswich or am I thinking of a different Murray.
yeah, it's Ronan Murray at IpswichQuote:

Are the goals available to see anywhere?
I remember back in the day when the team containing Duff, Keane, Jim Goodwin et al went to the semi-finals of the U-20 World Cup in Malaysia. I didn't see it live but in anticipation of seeing the tape was full sure that Brian Kerr's team would be playing some scintillating passing game. I was sadly disappointed.Quote:

Unless catenaccio has fallen spectacularly out of fashion, putting 3 past them is some achievement too.Quote:

Good interview with ROI U19 'keeper Aaron McCarey and piece on Wolves involvement in the squad here
Fair play to Aaron on his 3 clean sheets, dead proud of him we are!
Piece in the sunday independent today by eamon sweeney about the 19s qualifying. All focused on where they were born for some reason with no discussion about ability/potential. Mentioned Mcginty wil be due back but no mention of Brady! Good to see it getting mention but embarrassingly bad effort
Can't find it - anyone got a link?Quote:

No mention of Derry's contribution though, which was disappointing, but there was time to praise 'star defender', McGinty, who pulled out of the squad to play for United.
