Congratulations DB, well done.

I'm a bit surprised when he's not a first team regular but I don't want to take anything from the lad, I don't doubt that he'll do us proud if called upon.

i thought it was april 1st there for a bit.......fair play to him though!

Best of luck to him! And hopefully this will shut up all the Behan bashers!

Best of luck to Kearney aswell tomorrow!!

its live on sky sports too from what i hear so all the best to Kearney.

Thats a bit of a shock! I'd rate Nolan ahead of him.

A strong lad like Behan might be just whats needed against a physical defence like Scotland.

Fair play to Sky Sports for giving the game good billing.
No way RTÉ would ever make an U21 game look attractive.

Best of luck Liam. Run them Jocks ragged!

If current form is your guide to International selection then surely Colin P O'Brien deserved a call up, he's banging them in at the moment.

For Limerick, in the first division.
It's a huge step up to premier level not to mention international level.
No disrespect to the lad but it's stark reality.
I didn't think he was still U21 anyway!?!

As opposed to sitting on your ass in the Premier ?


Theres no substitute (pardon the pun) for playing.

fair play to denis. Have to admit I was a bit surprised, but maybe a few of those people who dismiss him as useless might think before they do so now.
