Potentially eligible players thread

[Olé Olé]

He seems to have grown up in Ireland and lived here for at least 10 years, so potentially eligible. A bit of a journeyman pro though, unlikely to ever get the call I would say.

Fair enough. Although he's on an upward trajectory and still only 25. Stranger things...

[Charlie Darwin]

25 years old and playing in League One at least gives him a shot. What age was Vardy when he went to Leicester?

[elatedscum]

Saw that game. Thought he was Blackpool’s best player. He and Blackpool looked excellent in the first half, while Liverpool were really poor.

[greendeiseboy]

His mother is Irish or of Irish parentage, I think, fairly sure his grandparents are from here, so that would make him eligible. I stand corrected on this, his mother and one of his sisters still live here and she’s mates with a friend of mine.

I’ll try find out if he qualifies and if he has any interest in declaring

Bit of background on him in this article:

There is a sixteen year old goalkeeper called Ciaran Dalton on the bench tonight for NY Red Bulls second side. Seems he also plays GAA in NY after a quick Google.

it this him?

[CraftyToePoke]

With the big crucifix and the Ireland jersey, yep, sure is tets.

[tetsujin1979]

Could be a J1 student who couldn't get a flight home!

[Fixer82]

Will Crowley be available too us with the new rule change?
Could he do a job for us at no.10 if McGoldrick is injured?
i haven't seen much of him at all I must admit

Correct
If those rules change he becomes eligible and like you I would have him as mcgoldricks understudy

[Stuttgart88]

I'd still have Jack Byrne!

I really cant see any way mcgoldrick can play as a 10 in a 3 man midfield. He just doesnt have thar work ethic for it and is an awful tackler , crowley wood be a real option he has improved his athleticism and seems he will play as a 10 for karanka instead of out on the right like he did for pep

[Diggs246]

Neither can I actually. I was saying in another thread this 433 is going to be a bit of a disaster. For me he is a 10 with the 9 ahead of him in a 451

[MancIrishWolf]

Couple of Lads coming through at Blackburn who could be eligible. Rankin-Costello (21) and Dolan (18) both Manc born attacking midfielders (which fits the bill), played yesterday after coming through United and City’s academy respectively.

Is there an FAI email to forward on to? (sure I’ve seen this in the past).

[tetsujin1979]

You used to be able to mail info@fai.ie. Not sure if it's still active

[Bielsa´s irish]

Paddy scored vs Liverpool yesterday. Is Paddy gonna declare? Wasnt impressed by him, he is a poor man's Nial Quinn. Doesnt offer something different than Hogan or Collins.

[DeLorean]

Doubt it. If he was ignoring Mick's calls while scoring at an average rate in the Championship, I'd imagine he has far grander notions now that he's terrorising Virgil van Dijk.

the goal was a result of an overconfident Virgil , but Bamford was clever it was a fluke goal anyway
