New contract for Caoimhin Kelleher: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/fir...rpool-contract

Poor lad hope he comes back strongQuote:

In happier news, Aaron Connolly followed up on his brief senior team appearance with a brace as Brighton U23s hammered Man City 5-0 (yes, you read that right): https://int.soccerway.com/matches/20...?ICID=PL_MS_05
Ryan Cassidy got a late equaliser for Watford against Crewe: https://www.watfordfc.com/teams/unde...rewe-alexandra
Harry Charsley credited with an assist in Everton's 3-0 win over Blackburn: https://int.soccerway.com/matches/20...?ICID=PL_MS_07
Damn, think he had a pretty bad injury last season as wellQuote:

She mentioned that this injury was the same as last season but on the other leg. It seemed city were hoping for him to go on loan.Quote:

Meanwhile, Shane McLoughlin set up one of Ipswich's goals against Birmingham:https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2018/sep...rmingham-city/
So, seven goals and a couple of assists for Irish youngsters this long weekend - not a bad return
Warren O'Hora, James Finnerty, Troy Parrott, Callum Thompson, Ray O'Sullivan and Nathan Collins all named for their respective sides for the first time in the Checkatrade Trophy tonight
Also, Jamie Bowden starts for Spurs U21 side and apparently is Irish qualified
Finnerty, O'Sullivan, Thompson and O'Hora remained on the bench. Aaron Connolly scored for Brighton v Luton, Damien Mandroiu also started. Thomas O'Connor was captain of Southampton v Colchester and started centrehalf alongside Aaron O'Driscoll, Smallbone started in midfield, Michael Obafemi scored, Jonathan Afolabi made an appearance as a sub, Ferry remained on the bench. Troy Parrott came on as a sub on 77 mins for Spurs and played the extra time. Connor Ronan started for Walsall, Callum Cockerill-Mollett came on as a sub.Quote:

Meanwhile, Obafemi got the only goal against Newcastle, meaning that he has also scored in his last three games and bringing his recent tally to 4 in 5. He was replaced by Afolabi in injury time while O'Driscoll, O'Connor and Smallbone all played: https://int.soccerway.com/players/mi...bafemi/453438/
Was there any explanation given why Obafemi didn't feature for either game for the U19s this week?
He was sick supposedlyQuote:

Then, Aaron Connolly salvaged the weekend for our U23 strikers with a late equaliser for Brighton against Leicester and restored my faith: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...ter-v-brighton - this was his sixth so far this season and it's still only September. He's been scoring regularly for Brighton's U23s since April and he's still only 18 - hopefully Hughton is taking note
Also, Jack Clarke got the only goal for Villa U23s against Southampton on Friday: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...-v-aston-villa
Conor Coventry rumoured to be included in west ham's squad for tonight's league cup game against Macclesfield
It was Grabara who made the Liverpool bench last night, disappointingly.Quote:

Still not good enough for Irish underage squads though. Another laughable situation.Quote:

Probably a mistake by them, can't find any mention of him being qualified
Ryan Johansson no longer wants to play for us and has instead opted to stick with Luxembourg for the moment. Losing far too many now. Something must really stink within the FAI setup.:excruciating:

Johansson has already played competitive underage football for Luxembourg. Therefore, if he then switched to play competitive underage football for another country, he would be bound to that nation for the rest of his career.
Interesting, his instagram has photos of him playing for England U16sQuote:

Gavin Kilkenny got one of Bournemouth's seven goals against Burnley in the Premier League Cup yesterday: https://www.afcb.co.uk/matches/under...cup?tab=report
Aaron Connolly played for Brighton tonight away v Peterborough in the Checkatrade Trophy, he started and scored at 0-2 down with twenty minutes left to make it 2-1. It ended up going to penalties and he scored the fifth and final kick for his side to win the shoot out 5-4.
Little bit of news from a quiet weekend of U23 action... it appears Irish interest in Ipswich hasn't ended completely yet - Shane McLoughlin got a brace in their 2-2 draw with QPR: https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2018/october/u23s-qpr-draw/
OK, let's try to cheer everybody up after the misery of the last seven days - it's been an excellent evening for Irish players in English U23 teams:
Aaron Connolly kept his recent goalscoring form going, nabbing Brighton's equaliser in a 2-1 victory over Blackburn, his seventh in eight games for his club: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...on-v-blackburn
Michael Obafemi got back on the goal trail with his fifth in nine games, opening the scoring for Southampton against Wolves. Thomas O'Connor, who captained the team, scored the injury-time winner while Aaron o'Driscoll and Will Smallbone also played: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...mpton-v-wolves
Josh Barrett grabbed a brace for Reading as they beat Middlesbrough 3-2: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...ough-v-reading
Ryan Cassidy didn't score, but was credited with an assist as Watford beat Bristol City 4-0: https://www.watfordfc.com/teams/unde...0-bristol-city
Gerry McDonagh also got an assist for Barnsley in a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Leeds, who had Callum Nicell in their line-up: https://www.leedsunited.com/news/aca...s-leeds-united
Adam Idah scored twice for Norwich U23s - unfortunately Stoke scored seven: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...toke-v-norwich. So four of our young strikers on target this weekend (Connolly, Obafemi, Parrott and Idah), with six goals between them, with O'Connor and Barrett adding three between them.
Hopefully Idah and Obafemi get a chance. My fear is that Obafemi won't at Southampton now. despite their lack of goals as a club they still won't invest in giving youth a chance - stakes are too high. If they rated him he'd surely be playing already.Quote:

anyone care to comment on Simon Power? I haven't seen him play.
