    Johnston is supposedly pretty highly rated -- apparently Chelsea have been following his progress. Irish Sun had a report of FAI approach in May: https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football...g-for-ireland/

    Our hopes of persuading Ethan Ampadu to play for us seem to getting slimmer: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41042598

    Wales seem to be a bit more pro-active in getting these young lads in the first team training squads or first team senior squads .

    Not saying it would make any difference in this case but it would be a pity to lose a good young talent for the lack of a bit of nurturing.....

    We need and have always needed to get as much talent from as far and wide as we can .

    They do still need to want to play for us mind .

    one day later... Will Keane targets World Cup spot with Ireland: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/w...land-slkc9w0gf
    Will Keane has spoken of his desire to play for Ireland at the World Cup next year. The former Manchester United striker is nearing a return for Hull City in the Sky Bet Championship after a long-term injury.

    He told The Times: “They have some good strikers, but I was on their radar before the injury. I am an outside bet but if I can get back scoring goals I would like to think I have a chance.”
    rest of the article is behind their paywall

    It would be slightly bizarre if former Ireland player Michael Keane lined out for England against former England player Will Keane for Ireland!
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    This is the rest of the Will Keane part of the article-

    The twin brother of Michael Keane, the England defender, admits that the tournament in Russia has been a motivation. “It is every player’s dream to play in the World Cup. Ireland are doing well in their group so they might make it,” he said. “If I ended up playing in a World Cup, all this hard work would be worthwhile.”
    I'd feel better about him if he said this instead...

    “If I ended up playing for Ireland, all this hard work would be worthwhile.”

    Seeing as they are twin brothers it's more than slightly bizarre, perhaps worthy of penning another application to the Guinness book of records .

    He will suit us nicely so!!

    Amazing how careers can pan out. He was on a whole other level of expectation compared to his brother when they were in the utd youth sides

    I dunno. 3 in 13 games for Wednesday is good by their standards.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Agree entirely. Very, very dubious attempt to pass the gut test.

    Until he starts doing the business at club level, It might as well be Will Shatner declaring for us

    Derry Citys Rory Holden to make the move to Bristol City tonight. Called up to Norn Irons under-21 training squad earlier in the year but still potentially eligible either way.

    The apparent delay appears to have been related to either finding his birth certificate or getting it in order. He has had to do that before being able to apply for the passport. Not sure what the latest on it is, mind.
