Hourihane who Roy would be familiar with, signing him for Sunderland 8 years ago as a 16 year old and also signed for Ipwich.Quote:

Still eligible, as far as I know. Even though there was talk of it, I don't think he ever switched to IFA nor has he represented anyone else, to best of my knowledge.Quote:

Interesting Keane went to a League One game. I hadn't thought someone playing at that level would be considered for a senior call-up (Forde is different).
He could have been looking at any/some/all of Conor Wilkinson, Conor Hourihane, Daniel Crowley and Anton Rodgers. I'd be surprised if Rodgers, Wilkinson or Hourihane were called up (even though he 's signed Hourihane in the past and he has impressed, it's a level below the level he'd need to impress at first). I don't think he'd need to see Crowley play as I'm sure the lad merits an under 21 call-up. Maybe he was going to have a chat with Crowley and took the game in out of courtesy? I hope it's Crowley-related. No offence to the others, but they have a bit left to do before senior consideration.

I think this would represent a big statement if Crowley were to switch to us.
I'd love to actually ascertain the extent of Crowley's Irish roots. Similar to JG, he was a keen Gaelic footballer. It took long enough to confirm that 3 of Grealish's grandparents had been born in Ireland and had two English-born parents (I think a few rags had his father down as Irish-born).
This article http://www.balls.ie/football/dan-cro...ireland/132706 has his old coach stating that "he visits his folks in Waterford regularly." That suggests his grandparents are in Waterford, does it? In which case it's likely his father emigrated and was born in Ireland.
On the other hand, it seems his father was a handy player who came through the ranks at Coventry: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/spo...-signs-7563919
No word on his mother's side yet, I don't think.
As I said, it'd be a big statement for a third generation lad to switch to us definitively, when he's one of the brightest prospects in England and they are very keen on him.
EDIT:
And here's a tweet from a while ago of him and his baby cousin in Ireland. First cousin would suggest his father is Irish-born but could also be second cousin. There's an aul lad in the background happy out anyway!:

If Crowley switches to us then Grealish has no excuse
Grealish family might not be as keen on the Ireland jersey as the Crowley clan: https://instagram.com/p/YfmpFqxXnF/Quote:

I don't really see how one is relevant to the other. It's a decision of the heart after all, or at least it should be. No set rules.
...although they are close friends apparently. Might be a factor?
He who shall not be named just scored against Leicester.
absolute peach of a finish in fairnessQuote:

Indeed.
Great stuff, thanks for that.Quote:

EDIT: That goal above is not going to do us any favours over the next month. Gorgeous finish. Note it was England cap Jamie Vardy that lost his marker on that one.
JG has been outrageously good in the first half. Almost everything has gone through him.
Both Midlands lads, both mates, both highly rated, both have strong Irish backgrounds. I just think if Crowley declares it would make it easier for Grealish to say yes to usQuote:

Didn't sabbath sing a song about this guy?
I seen this kid about 4 years ago at an GAA Feile in Birmingham. He was playing for the local club and has remained friendly with some of the Kids from a Dublin club. From what they tell me it does seem likely he will switch back to Ireland.
No they sang about his Dad, Mr Crowley.Quote:

Also, wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and performed the track.Quote:

crowley in the england u19 squad.
"He's still ours to lose"
JonJoe Kenny from Everton probably wouldn't have too far back to find Irish roots I bet.
moving thread to the world football forum, if he decides to declare for Ireland, it'll be moved back to the Ireland forum
