Brendan Clarke is the better keeper alright. Has an ankle problem at the moment and Quigley has played pretty poorly in his absence. Quigley is a great shot stopper but his handling has been pretty poor ever since he practically threw the ball into the net when we where playing shels last year. Loss of confidence since then. Clarkes handling and kicking has been much better and over all looks the more calm and assured keeper.

As far as I know he is still young enough. should definitely be in the squad imo.

I'd say a few Derry players, but some of our best performers have been our youngsters (whole team!

), like Shane and Patrick McEleney who are both in the U19 squad and James McClean (appears to be a NI U21). Ruairí Harkin could be a good shout. Think he's 20. He got a few U19 caps when he was at Charlton.

Yeah your right just checked it. Born 85. I thought he was a bit younger.

Do you really think Timmy Purcell, presumably in the role of striker, is even up to U23 standard?

We're playing him on the right wing, and he's put in some excellent performances so far this season. So I'd love
to see him get a call up.

Sorry I forgot to mention this in the previous post.

A question for Fingal fans, how has Kenny Browne played for ye so far this season ?

Great. Wins everthing in the air and very little gets past him. Our best defender so far this season.

I've seen him in action when he's been like above and I've seen him when he's been outstanding, I only pick him by default as there is a lack of quality and established under 23 eligable keepers.

You're right, he's 24 and born in 1986!

Shane Duggan is the main man down in Cork.

Top class player.

Yesterdays story - unless he gets games for Bohs. Has he made any league starts this season? A Bohs team without a league victory in four games (2 points out of 12?) and he still can't get game time.

Thought it was under 23. Are you sure these lads are over 23? Dont think they are!

On Harps website Ive just checked Liam Mailey was born 20th July 1987 and James Doherty was born 22nd July 1988, still under 23

I'm delighted to hear that. Fletch is a fantastic player, and an absolute gentleman. I'd love to see him go on and have a super career.

Thanks for the info Lamper.

Does anyone know if Paul Doolin has a management team for this gig? I presume he does, but they weren't announced at the time of his appointment if I recall correctly. Still no sign of squad being named. Would expect it by end of week considering game is on 3 weeks tomorrow.
