FC Dordrecht 0-[1] SC Cambuur — Daniel Crowley nutmeg + goal 20'
https://streamable.com/ugnx8
According to this article in fourfourtwo - https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features...youth-prospect - Everton defender Antonee Robinson is eligible for Ireland, but has already been called up by the US national side
Quote:
Everton have successfully blooded Jonjoe Kenny at right-back this season and, with the evergreen Leighton Baines starting to slow a little, they could be set to do the same on the other side of the pitch next season with Robinson.
A Premier League 2 champion with Everton in 2016/17, the athletic full-back has gone on to gain senior experience on loan at Bolton this season, where he has shown promise with a series of hard-working performances up and down the left flank in trying circumstances.
Robinson is eligible to represent England or the Republic of Ireland, but received his first international call-up by the United States last month. He recently revealed his plans to return to Goodison Park this summer to challenge for a place in the first-team squad

Always thought it was strange Duffy played for the north it appears from this the process of coming on board must be underway
Had quick Google and it turns out Duffy clearly stated it's us he wants to play with 2 weeks ago: https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football...eland-in-past/
thank youQuote:

Going by O'Neill's comments at the time, Bamford should make his intentions known if he wants to be considered - https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-36703005.htmlQuote:

Orebro finished 11th out of 16 teams in the Allsvenskan last season and conceded 54 goals in 30 games. Just as a compare/contrast, AIK finished second and conceded 22 goals in 30.
We are hardly shy of defenders. Seems to me like an agent is putting this one out. The use of the word "federation" implies that to me anyway.Quote:

Ah, I dunno. I'd rather see Connor Shaughnessy, Paudie O'Connor or Sean McLoughlin called up sooner. And we have a selection of defenders in Scotland too- Charles Dunne, Daniel Devine, Carl McHugh, Joe Shaughnessy and a few more. That said, maybe he could turn out to be better than all the above and I've never seen him play. But I can't see why the "Irish Federation" would pursue him. He does play for the side that Pat Walker used to manage, not that he managed to influence his own sons when there appeared to be a chance.
Okoflex has moved to Celtic from arsenal. On the face of it seems like might push him more to us. One Of The lads on ybig thought he might now be ineligible for England as he would not have resided there and went to school there for 5 years but I'd say it's fairly close.
According to balls.ie he feels more of an Irish connection than English. Hopefully, but time will tell.
The quote is from a short piece in the Irish Times last year: https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/new...mark-1.3178485Quote:

Michael Duffy was on NewsTalk last night talking about his goal in Europe, and said he wouldn't be able to refuse a call up from Martin O'Neill:

The international discussion starts around the 11:30 mark, says that Martin O'Neill has been to Dundalk a few times
Stephen Duke-McKenna earned a professional contract at Bolton after being released by Everton: https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2018/jun...rio-join-club/
Walsall's Callum Cockerill-Mollett is listed as being Irish on wikipedia, and made his debut last season in the league trophy
Brendan Hines-Ike has signed for KV Kortrijk in Belgium for $750k and is their record signing. The club is owned by the infamous Vincent Tan who also owns Cardiff City: https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/20...um-kv-kortrijk
Pundit Arena also got comments from Hines-Ike on playing for Ireland: http://www.punditarena.com/football/...lls-next-star/
This might be an interesting one to follow.
Looks all but done from what he is saying.Quote:

no way we should be capping this lad. he is pure american tge irish thing is just for his passport to make playing in a league like the top flight in england easier and best of luck to him for that but no way we should be capping himQuote:

One of them has made much better strides in Europe than the other so we can't complain. Hines-Ike doesn't have a father who won an All-Ireland for Cork or an uncle who won an All-Ireland for Kerry either.Quote:

His mother is Dutch and of Indonesian descent. His Wiki is listing him as Indonesian (could have been anyone) but his Twitter page is full of references to Indonesia.Quote:

Have you talked to him?
It would be a real stretch for Ireland to play someone with an Irish grandparent, wouldn't it?
Don't think I've ever seen that happen before?
Why don't you cut the lad some slack. He is no different from the procession of foreign born lads with Irish grandparents who have worn the green.
Doesn't matter if he was born in the Amazon, he qualifies.
http://americansoccernow.com/article...visie-interest . article is from earlier this summer sets out why he is gettingbhis passport. no mention of wanting to play for us and clear aim to play atvtge highest level to be talked about more back in america.Quote:

I don't know Liam. I think you're being harsh on him. There's no quote from him as to why he's getting the passport. And I think he might be as happy to play with us as the US. Those quotes don't see him stating that the US is his number one choice.Quote:

true maybe harsh but as I read it he will do whatever he can to progress his club career which is completely the right attitude and fair play to him. There does not seem to be any emtion in it to play for us. Id like him to have said Im getting the passport to hopefully play for ireland cause its my dream. the much maligned pwarce at derby who is at a far higger level could have chosen scotland but threw his lot in with us cause he said he always wanted to play for us and has stuck with us showing up rarely getting a game. so the least i expect is this lad to say he wants us not the usaQuote:

Massive egg on my face, Ryan will play for Ireland U18’s next month!
I might be jumping the gun a little but seriously think MON should call him up and cap him soon, in a 3 way tug of war I wouldn’t be confident of keeping, Wales would have capped him if they were in our shoes.
that's brilliant news, I would guess he will be promoted to the U21s very quickly and if he progresses then the senior team
Is an u18 cap binding? As in, he'll have played for Ireland, Sweden, and Luxembourg at underage level, will he still be able to represent either of the other two?
Also, the original article is here is you want to read it: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/i...star-0jx7vd9w6
It is behind a paywall, but you get two free articles for registering
FWIW, when he was discussed recently on the forum, I checked his instgram account, and he had a photo of himself in a Sweden jersey from one of the games he played for them. Just checked again, and that photo has been removed...
I think at around this level you can only make one switch, tbh but hugely confident of him staying until he play in a qualifier.
[QUOTE=tetsujin1979;1970170]Is an u18 cap binding? As in, he'll have played for Ireland, Sweden, and Luxembourg at underage level, will he still be able to represent either of the other two?
Only if he officially changes association, he may not have to do that at under U18 level though ( but if he does apply to FIFA and change he is ours)
I think when you play U19 on you have one switch after that, that’s why I’m still not that confident, he could play for us next month than just switch to Sweden for the U19 qualifiers without much effort.
no only friedlies at 18s so not binding. it seems he played a under 17 qualifier for luxenburg and just under 16 games for sweden so if he turns out for us in october for the under 19 qualifiers he will be tied to usQuote:
