Hat Trick for RGC

Excellent result and start to qualification for the U21s - our best ever start at this level, I reckon. And I had a quick look at the squads for Norway and Israel and both their sets of players have far more first-team experience than our lads. Good to see RGC get a hat-trick - he has seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough a few times over the last few years but hasn't quite been able to make it stick as yet - let's hope he can build on this and finally break into the QPR first team in the near future
When is their next game and who against?
away to Norway in a month: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_U...cation_Group_5Originally Posted by swinfordfc
Germany are four points behind us, and will have played three times before we kick off against Norway
Thanks! ....... So what your really telling me Germany will be on 15 pts after 5 games before we kick a ball again! ... The Norway game is huge so to get to 13 pts and we 2 pts behind them at the half way stage!
Mentioned on Eir Sport coverage yesterday that they'll be showing the game in Norway live.
Norway level with Germany at HT. Chance.....tiny but chance.
Norway have done us a favour. Currently 3-1 up on Germany with 5 mins left.
That's a great win. Kosovo Norway and Israel will be very tough away games not to mention Germany. In other 21 campaigns we prob wouldn't get more than 1 or 2 points from these last 5 games. Hopefully we can buck the trend
Wow - that 0-0 against Norway looks pretty good now after last night result!
How is Chiedozie Ogbene not in this squad? He's a great prospect with serious pace and power.
He's stated his preference is to play for Nigeria.
I'd be asking why Conor Masterson and Glen McAuley are still excluded
Is McAuley not a tad young at 17?
I meant from across the underage sides
mccauley not making himself available for the 17s euros in may because idah was going to be the central striker and he was going to be playing wide in a front three clearly is a problem especially when the only previous example of similar behaviour I can remember is Stephen Ireland walking out of a qualifying tournament at under 17s in cork which wasn't as it turns out a great omen. Also mccauley hasnt managed a full game for the pool 18s all season, has only played a few mins for the pool 19s in the euros youth league and has not made any under 23 appearances. Ayoola at stoke has played at under 23 level and also didn't make the 19s squad. Mccauly needs to earn his recall and respect the privilege it is to play for your country.
An article from the Derry Journal on the experience of Derry City's Ronan Curtis as the only LOI player in the most recent Ireland under-21 squad (besides Ryan Delaney, who's on loan at Cork from Burton Albion): http://www.derryjournal.com/sport/fo...ence-1-8194726
It mentions that Wales manager Chris Coleman is Curtis' Godfather, although I'm not sure how that came about.
There are 3 targets in there for us also. McDermott is supposed to be a serious prospect. My worry is that Shiels being their clubs boss isn't exactly the ideal environment for any of them to switch over.
If McDermott was too switch in the coming months. Am I right in thinking he wouldn't be available for our U21 campaign because he's already played for the north in their qualifying?
