Ryan Johansson of Bayern Munich is included. If he plays in the U19 qualifiers in October - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_U...ation#Group_10 - will that mean he's tied to Ireland, since he's already played for Luxembourg's U17 side?

interesting to See how that lines up. Smallbone Is a Centre mid not a forward looked decent against man utd 23 s a few weeks Ago and tall! Would It be fair to say brandon kavanagh Is a technical midfielder not a forward?still leaves six forwards but to be fair you would feel you could play parrott in any outfield position and he would look assured. Defensively at fullback lyons and ö connor should be exciting

I thought the young lad from Inter (Ryan Nolan) would be included.

Nah, we don't need him. He's not playing for a big enough club.

He's overage for the U19 championships next year.

Are Kian Flanagan and Ryan Cassidy unlucky to not be included?

Maybe he should have been included in the U21 squad then? There was a vacancy after all!

Think Flanagan is alright. Cassidy is still eligible for the U17s, and should be part of the squad for the finals next year

**CraftyToePoke** · 04/09/2018, 11:57 AM

Cassidy is dual isn't he ? Reverse dual, but does qualify for England also.

flanagan Is overage for the 19s. Dont think cassidy Is under 17 this season but parrott is

**tetsujin1979** · 04/09/2018, 12:09 PM

Sorry, I'm wrong about both players. Flanagan was born in August 99, players born on or after 1st January 2000 are eligible for the u19 championships next year

Cassidy is overage for the U17 championships next year. He was born in March 2001, players born on our after 1st January 2002 are eligible for the U17.

Parrott was born in February 2002, so is still eligible.

Have Smallbone and Ferry both been involved with England too? Rice paranoia kicking in.

I thought Smallbone had, but I can't find anything about it.
Ferry hasn't, but was born in Bury so is obviously eligible. Incidentally, he already has first team experience after being named on the bench for Bury in April 2017, before his move to Southampton

Kavanagh plays either side of a front three for Rovers. He'd probably slot in as a number 10 in that squad too.

Pfft... he's just using us as his back-up because he's not good enough to play for Luxembourg

**gastric** · 05/09/2018, 2:45 AM

Rumours over on ybig that Cassidy was pulled out of the Euros as his old man wasn't happy he wasn't getting a game. Can anyone verify this? At least we can't blame Roy for this one or can we?

**Charlie Darwin** · 05/09/2018, 3:21 AM

I'm sure we can blame Paul Doolin.

there might be something to it. He was on the bench for the first two games, but didn't make an appearance, and wasn't in the matchday squad at all for the second two games of the tournament

**Olé Olé** · 05/09/2018, 9:33 AM

A bit of research has told me Will Smallbone's mother is a Kilkenny woman. Healthy presence in the Southampton academy of Irish players could be contributing to him and Ferry feeling comfortable with us. You must imagine there's a camaraderie between themselves, Afolabi, O'Connor, Obafemi and O'Driscoll.

**TrapAPony** · 09/09/2018, 2:40 PM

IRLU19 team to play Wales: Maher, O'Connor (capt), Ferry, James, Collins, Coventry, McAuley, Bolger, Idah, Smallbone, Parrott.

Obafemi was in the original squad but not there now. Anyone know if it is injury or if he is deciding to play for Nigeria? Gavin Kilkenny was called up instead.

Finished in a 1-0 win for Wales
