under 21s squad?

**Predator** · 22/03/2011, 5:56 PM

Another centre half? That adds to Duffy, Gunning and Keirnan, right?

Mark Connolly too

Think Gunning at this stage is more of a left back/wing back. Dunleavy of wolves is a possible centre half option that is not in the squad.

Connolly was highly thought of when he walked out on wolves. Turned 19 in December hopefully will get a look in at bolton before end of season. Captains the reserves where he plays holding midfield sometimes.

McEleaney has been called up to the under 19s. Surely he will move back to uk soon. Roberts from arsenal called up to under 17s for their qualifiers promising striker.

game is listed on the usual streaming sites if you want to watch it tomorrow, it should be available.
not sure about the commentary language, mind

That's unfair - there has been far less reason to swear since Given departed.

Is Daniel Kearns not playing well enough for Dundalk to be called up?

**Predator** · 25/03/2011, 11:06 AM

Probable lineup according to the Independent:
Ireland U-21 v Portugal (probable) -- McLoughlin; Towell, Canavan, Kiernan, Gunning; Connolly, Henderson, Barton; Clifford, Doran, O'Connor. Subs: Hourihane, Murray, Madden, Duffy, Quirke, Oyebanjo.

Yes. But he wants to look at the British based players in this game.

I've only seen him on mns but Kearns looks like a decent player. How do people who know more about the league rate his chances of "making it"?

Who wood play up front?!!!Doran is obviously a winger and O Connor had played all his senior football at full back even though he may have gone to liverpool as a winger/striker

I wouldn't fall into that catagory but the few highlights I've seen of the kid, he looks the business to be fair, composed.

Only seen him live once but he looked a class above anyone on the pitch playing against the Champions.

**boovidge** · 25/03/2011, 4:22 PM

Actually I've just realised Pat's are playing Dundalk tonight so I'll be able to see first hand.

**Charlie Darwin** · 25/03/2011, 4:44 PM

Just tuned into a stream now. One of the Portuguese players managed the most ridiculous embellishment of an injury I've ever seen. It was like a killer whale majestically emerging from the ocean. And Bebe's playing!

**tetsujin1979** · 25/03/2011, 5:04 PM

0-0 at half time.

**Noelys Guitar** · 25/03/2011, 5:05 PM

Very impressive first half performance from Ireland. Look the stronger team

**Predator** · 25/03/2011, 5:06 PM

We've had the lion's share of possession.

**Charlie Darwin** · 25/03/2011, 5:08 PM

Henderson looks like the sort of creative player our teams lack. Clifford too. Both of them like to drop deep to pick up the ball too. Doran looks very impressive - bigger than I remember him being, but perhaps it's just the small opposition.
