    If he has actually declared for ROI it's nice to see a case where someone makes such a quick decision and doesn't hang around weighing up his options until he's 100% sure that he's not going to make it for England. I have no problem with him having played underage for England if he doesn't make a big fuss about the change over.

    This is great news. I was convinced Shane Duffy would never switch to us and felt the same about Clark. Maybe I should be wrong more often!

    I didn't think this guy would switch or make such a quick decision. Pleasantly surprised to be wrong on both counts.

    Maybe you are - more than you think.

    Couldn't resist, sorry.

    Well it's worth a try.

    I don't think Jack Wilshere would ever dream of switching to us...

    Off topic, I think the same things being written about Rooney's form right now will be written about Wilshere in ten years
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Great stuff. Would make you wonder why this guy wasnt approached sooner, by the sounds of it, he was more than happy to declare for us. Welcome on board CC.

    Well the lack of an earlier approach just goes to show that next to nobody reads the Donegal Democrat.

    As SwanvsDalton mentioned, there are a lot of potential defenders appearing and hopefully many will play for the senior side. This potentially reminds me of a time, many years ago, when a certain Paul McGrath had to play at right back as this was the only way he could be accommodated in the team! Looking at the near future our goalkeeping options, defensive options and midfield options are quite strong, but upfront finding potential goal scorers remains difficult. Murray at Ipswich, Roberts at Arsenal come to mind, are there any others?

    Stokes for Celtic, perhaps Adam Rooney with ICT, and Conor Sammon with Killie too. All scoring in Scotland.

    Looks like the irish influence at Villa may have brought left winger jack grealish on board.he is in the under 16 squad this week after been called up to England under 16 training squad last month.Irish grandfather and used to play gaelic.Has been getting rave reviews on villa forums best player to ever be in their academy apparently.Tore the north apart when he played for us at under 15 last season.

    Sure he was already ours anyway. So it's nothing major him sticking with us. The training camp probably just helped him raise his game.

    dont think it is that straight forward to be fair.His teammate graham from villa scored twice in that game and has seemingly switched to the england victory shield setup since.Think the irish setup will need to work hard to show Grealish he has made right choice and ward off england advances and call ups.

    Don't think the England training camp went well for him

    Dont think he went to the england training camp pulled out according to some posters on a england under 16 forum, which may be good sign of his intent to stick with us.He is still eligible for under 16 next season so it certainly is not because the England set up does not want him that he is with us (hopefully)

    Good, hopefully he'll stick to us 100% now.

    He travelled with the Ireland u16 squad for the tournament in Italy this week.
