Currently 2-0 up against Albania in the second game of the mini-group.

Top two in the group go through to the next round so if Norway beat Malta later today, both Ireland and Norway will have qualified.
2-0 up at half-time. Goals from Roberts and Murphy.
Through to the next round with a 2-0 win.

Could anyone tell me what they make of Roberts? I have read that he is a tall, skilful player, similar to Thierry Henry.
I love the match report "leaving the team unchanged proved a tactical masterstroke"!
I love name watching: Bradley Garmston. I hope he makes it all the way to the senior team. Poor old Travis Binnion never quite made it.
Young Bradley has certainly got paceOriginally Posted by Stuttgart88
Good piece that. Second fastest in the country? Nice.

Binnion's a coach at Sheff Utd now according to wikipedia. Not bad for a 23 year old.
So does Alan O'Brien
Whatever happened to him? He came on for us over in Stuttgart didn't he or did I dream that?So does Alan O'Brien

God bless Wiki. 5 caps for us!!!
He was Stans secret speedy weapon. The unfortunate thing was that he didnt turn out to be much a weapon.

Full-time: Ireland lose 1-0, and end the first stage in second place. This will still take us through to the next round, as we had qualified before this match began. However, second in the group means that we’ll most likely play two first placed teams and a second placed team in the Elite Stage of Qualifying next Spring.
We got through to that stage the last time too, but you need to win the group to qualify then. And we all know how good Ireland are at winning groups!
They begin the Elite Phase V Denmark (1pm KO Irish Time)(Uefa link)
According to the FAI website, manager John Morling has gone the unusual route of starting with 12 men.
Republic of Ireland U17 team v Denmark:
Joe Coll (Manchester United),
Colm Horgan (Salthill Devon),
Tommie Hoban (Watford),
Steven Smith (Arsenal),
Sean Kavanagh (Belvedere),
Kealan Dillon (Derby County),
Darragh Lenihan (Belvedere),
Luke Gallagher (Cherry Orchard),
Kenny McEvoy (Tottenham Hotspur),
Philip Roberts (Arsenal),
Paul George (Celtic),
Sam Byrne (St. Josephs Boys).
Greece beat Latvia 2-0 in the opener.
Panathinaikos' Vangelis Anastasopoulos in the 2nd minute, and a stoppage time goal from PAOK's Kostas Demirtzoglou.
George is the 12th man. He's only on the bench.
Joe can't count as good as he can tag a link
Woah, woah, woah....... I can count plenty good!
It was the FAI website that named 12 people in the starting lineup.
Anyway, Match underway.
