What are the keepers like in the under 19 squad?
Reason I ask is there's a very good 'keeper at Manchester United with strong Irish family links called Kieran O'Hara (born April '96) who has played for England schools but not getting into their international youth teams.
Last season it was Eric Grimes, who seems to be highly rated at Leeds but hasn't gotten close to the senior team so far. I think he's overage now. Liam Bossin from Anderlecht was his understudy last year, but he seems to have been overtaken so far by Sunderland's Peter Burke, who I don't know much about. Doolin only picks two goalkeepers at a time so there aren't many names to talk about.

check out the table cloth in the picture classix mrs goyle
also, no Dan Cleary or Corey Whelan from Liverpool, Jack Byrne is with the U21s but it was mentioned earlier in the year he could play these qualifiers with the U19s
Maybe the pool have a champ league under 19 game that clashes with the qualifiers. I cant see paul doolin leaving out his best players for no good reason. All those 3 played really wel against real madrid on tuesday especially o hanlon some of his passing is sublime.Quote:

To be absolutely fair, Doolin knows they're going to have at worst a 2-1 final table, and qualify. If it gives him some scope further on in the elite phase, and gets him the opportunity to look a couple of fringe options then no real worries. It won't make much difference winning or coming second when it gets to the elite draw.
might make the Gibraltar game on Saturday, depends on a few things falling into place but it's looking likely
Bossin, Baba (c), Moseley, Kelleher, Toner, Dimaio, Grego-Cox, Charsley, Manning, Stokes, Coustrain.
An hour gone and still preacriously poised at 1-0 Ireland, Eoghan Stokes prodding home Ryan Manning's early cross. Ireland have had the vast majority of the play and chance but Malta hanging in there.
Children, we are going to be left unsupervised, I feel compelled to play up. Hmmmm...Quote:

3-1 up against Gibraltar at half time.
Gibraltar's first ever official competitive goal I think.
finished 4-1, qualified for the second round with a game to spare.
Swiss beat Malta 7-1 and top the group on goal difference, 15 goals in two games!

Switzerland must have scored from kickoff or something!
Is it just me but do Turkes always score when we play the Swiss?
Equalised through QPR's Greco-Cox right after half time but Noe Baba was sent off just after.
