Where is this alan smith lad from?
i'm not trying to open up a can of worms but just wondering as wouldn't have thought too many irish youngsters at rangers.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
I know of another goalkeeper from Dublin who has been over to Rangers on trial in the last year. However I think he is going to an English club. Was treated very well over there though. Seemingly Ally McCoist is a very decent man.
Always look on the bright side of life

Niall Burdon sticks out a bit in the Stade Rennes youth photo:
Burdon was born in France and qualifies to play for us through his Dublin-born father.
He's been in other underge squads. Going back to u15s I think
The non Irish/British clubs always stand out

All a bit low key for these qualifiers obviously with the senior send off this weekend. Drennan out injured unfortunately i think he would have been up top on his own shame good finisher. lyons from ucd in who looks handy strange no burke or roberts seein very few strikers involved. Must be best midfield we have put out at this level since the heady days of mcphail(god he was amazing underage), quinn and partridge(he was crazy amazing underage)
forde just missed a peno after 10 mins against portugal ukraine won other game pity
Typical, missed penalty in first half.
87 Mins, Barker OG
Portugal 1-0.
Anyone know what the line-up was for the game?

Missed the peno had it retaken and missed again!!Sounds like very good performance
I see Cafu still passes for an 18 year old Portuguese player.

Just kicked off against Ukraine. We probably need a decent win to have any chance of grabbing the one qualifying spot. By all accounts we battered the Portuguese and were beaten by a sucker punch own goal on the counter in the final minutes.

2-0 down after an hour.
3-0 now. Carruthers sent off for a second yellow, seemingly for mouthing off after a penalty was given.

Unlucky again not to win it seems. Hopefully a few of this batch will progress in the game. I wonder if doolin will be up for Koevermans job if he heads to india
