It was the JonJoe element that got me thinking he had to be irish in combination with the surname. If he's third or fourth generation Irish, I would have been surprised to see such a forename. The whole package shouted Irish but alas not to be.

Liverpool is basically an Irish city, but unfortunately for us, with most of them it goes back to far. I remember working in Liverpool during euro 88 and the scousers went mental when ray scored. Could have been in dublin.
Someone did mention that there's a lad called liam coyle who is meant to be handy for liverpool youths that can play for us.
Will Keane has signed for Ipswich on loan, and will play for them in their FA Cup tie this afternoon
Marcus Harness got a hat trick for Burton Albion away to Rochdale today in League One. He was due to come onboard or was confirmed eligible from my recollection. He's 22 now so overage for under 21 campaign upcoming.
I hope nothing's holding him back. He needs to follow Callum Robinson's lead.
Eamonn Brophy of Kilmarnock being linked with a move to Leeds this week. Has to be 2G Irish with that name?
Has Sean Longstaff's eligibility been confirmed?
He had a decent game against Chelsea today.
According to this not eligible https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chr...n-15434014.ampQuote:

Yeah... interesting development. Is he better than his record would suggest? I guess we'll see over the next few months.Quote:

If Redmond wanted to meet he could easily have done so. Looks like he is not interested.Quote:

Fair play. Positive by King. Brennan knows his stuff so the more the merrier on that front.
Anyone know anything about Matthew Sean O'Riley for Fulham
O'Riley is an England youth international and also eligible to represent both Denmark and Norway
Mentioned in this article by Miguel Delaney, as are Troy Parrott and Louie Barry.
The link doesn’t work. What does it say? Who’s King?Quote:

Thanks
EDIT: Just realised its about himself......sorry :o
Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) has played U-19 for England, but has he any Irish connections?
Yeah his dad is irish. Donegal i think.
Is he the lad who won the U17s WC with England ?
If so he is dual, and I think his dad was pro Ireland fairly publicly around the time they won it.
Was James Shea the luton keepers eligibility ever established? Played all games this season after getting in to Side in last few months of season last season when they got promoted. 27 years old but we are chronically short of keepers
Yeah think you are spot on here. I think he is likely to be one who comes on board for us as he gets olderQuote:

That said, while these lads are good or even very good, it's important for a small-ish footballing nation such as ourselves to have an outstanding keeper if we want to achieve the goal of regular qualification for major tournaments... the type of goalie who regularly makes the saves he shouldn't be able to. Hopefully one of the youngsters coming through will be able to be that for us. And there is reason to hope, with Kelleher and Travers as third choice at Premier League clubs, Bazunu on his way to Man City, Corcoran established at Preston, O'Hara getting regular first-team action (and plenty of practice) on loan from Man United at Macclesfield and Bossin as regular stopper for Forest's U23sQuote:

I can't find any article in English but it looks like he has signed for Dinamo Bucharest of Romania this week.
Is Conor Henderson over there too ? The Arsenal lad.Quote:

Great shout. Bonham completely flew under my radar. Looks like he was first choice for Carlisle in League Two the previous season and is first choice in League One this season so steady progression.
O'Malley and Lawlor have some work to do at League One at present. Both are more out than in at their clubs.
Lawlor is out with a shoulder injury until the end of the season so the work will have to wait.Quote:

William Hondermarck has signed for Norwich from Drogheda: https://www.canaries.co.uk/News/2019...marck-signing/
Not sure of any international caps, but he's eligible for Ireland and France
<EDIT>
According to the42, he has applied for an Irish passport: https://www.the42.ie/william-honderm...52646-Jan2019/
Quote:
Hondermarck was born in France, but moved to Ireland at the age of five. He has been involved in the Republic of Ireland set-up, and was called up to the U19 squad by Tom Mohan last year. He is currently in the process of getting an Irish passport.
Did drogs getting anything for him.
Yes, there were a few clubs negotiating a fee with Drogs.Quote:
