QuoteAidomo Emakhu and Dara Costello called up to replace Johnny Kenny (injury) and Rocco Vata (family reasons). Pity about the two lads missing as Kenny made an impact in March and Vata has impressed me most amongst the 2005 attackers.

It seems mad that some of the lads above in bold are still 21s, given how long they've been talked about - I suppose that comes with being more aware of potential starlets from a much younger age.
That said, I struggle to think of other lads who could be in these squads
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Friendly vs Gabon now off as Gabon decided not to travel for it.
Not to alarm anyone after the Cannon thing but.... Vata has pulled out of this squad for "family reasons"
The Crawford Curseevery time he comments on how committed a dual player is, something happens in their family.
To be fair, the Vata thing is very different to Cannon, I was just being a bit of a d1ck bringing it up like that. Vata has played regularly with us all through the ranks and has never shown any reason to doubt his commitment to play for us. Family issues happen, and with this being a fairly meaningless u21 camp its not the end of the world to miss it.The Crawford Curse
Think someone said he's in Albania with his family. Possibly something happened and they've travelled over. It's a pity he is missing cause he was one of the players I was most looking forward to seeing how he got on in this camp. Would have liked to seen them call up another 04 or 05 player to replace him rather than Dara Costello. Assuming it's Costello who replaced him and not Emakhu.
They should at least be streaming them on youtube or something. In this day and age it doesnt take much
Its international football, how can anyone object to game being televised. Its not the 1950s
Its an international game thats not behind closed doors
All three friendlies from the 2021 training camp were on telly.
Presumably it’s a 4-3-3 with Abankwah on the right, Lawal and Anselmo in the centre, Roughan on the left. Hodge and Phillips sitting, Moran at number 10, O’Neill and Okoflex on the wings and Carty up top.
Depth at centre forward has really taken a hit with:
1) Ferguson and Parrott with the seniors
2) Cannon taking time
3) Sinclair Armstrong not fit to start
4) Kenny injured
5) Mipo a bit lost
I like Conor Carty, he works hard and he’s a good footballer but he’s not the most prolific, he’s been playing wide a lot lately and he’s still pretty raw.
Yeah I'd say that's the way they've lined up alright. 1-1 at half time in the U21s match. Ukraine penalty early in the first half and Andrew Moran leveled it with the last kick of the first half. Moran has supposedly been good the first half and tested the keeper a couple of times.
