U are completely right Charles Carruthers Burke and Dreenan signed two year deals last summer my apologies. I assume Paul doolin has pulled rank and asked o neill to be allowed have grealish for the 19s qualifiers at end of may in Dublin. Will be great to see grealish and jack Byrne in same side with Alex I Hanlon. Well done Mr doolinQuote:

Was called into the squad but i think he never actually played. Definitely not in qualifiers, not sure about friendlies
He was a sub for the there games in the first round qualifiers in 2012. Was some suggestion he had falling out with doolin but IM sure that's all sorted out so having him back for the qualifiers will be great.. Should have a serious chance of qualifying with the attacking quality in the present 19s. Hopefully b nice weatherQuote:

I know we didnt have many more talented under 19s than grealish last season or this season which makes me wonder if there was a falling out considering he was not involved.Quote:

Well i certainly suggested it but I am pretty sure his brother who posts on here and on villatalk made reference to tough times under doolin testing his commitment and noel king subsequently stepping in this time last season and bringing him into the 21s been a major boost for jack. Paul Doolin falls out with talented young irish players that is what the last few years tell meQuote:

Charles I wouldnt dare muddy the waters! Are you suggesting that grealish was left out of last years elite qualifiers and this years first round qualifiers and was an unused sub in all three first round qualifiers last season simply because we have an abundance of better players than him at under 19 level? If that was the situation we truely would have a golden generation , alas I fear not.
We have more of a golden shower.
What hotel do you randy chaps think the lads are staying in nyc? Maybe I can get an autograph.
I'd say he was left out because Doolin didn't deem him ready to play in the team, whether it was his physical development or he just thought it was a bit early for him. I really don't buy this image of Doolin as going around starting fights with his best players for no reason.Quote:

It's started: https://vine.co/v/MphnOTOjD2U
Villa knocked out in the quarters of the Hong Kong Sevens, but Grealish finished top scorer nonetheless with six.
I wouldnt read anything into that outrageous piece of skill and quality finishing. The opposition weren't really trying and might have been tired and it's not as if it was the World Cup Final.
I wouldnt either, the defending was woeful, falling over eachother, and plenty of mis-timed tackles. Good balance though by grealish.
Given: Jack will be a star for Villa - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/spor...-given-7236201
Ive been confident all along that we will keep this lad but the last week has made me wonder a little bit. Hes been talkin alot about England on his twitter account with the friendly etc and how he cant wait for the game on Saturday.
You would have to wonder that if he hit the ground running in the Premiership next season and scored a couple of good goals would he realistically turn down England if they came calling for a friendly or whatever. He probably should have been brought along to the States just to get involved in the set up.
Just had a scan through. I can only see two or three tweets concerning England. He also tweeted that he thinks Argentina or Spain will win, so he can't be that much of an England fan! Also, he seems more of a football fan in general, tweeting about different clubs and showing respect for Jari Litmanen (who was playing for Liverpool when Grealish was about 6 or 7 years old).Quote:
