“We moved to Ireland and spent seven years there,” says the now 46-year-old whose second son, Cian, now playing with Brighton, was born here. During his time with the association, he subsequently managed the under-16 and under-17 national sides and he retains strong links to Ireland both personally and professionally.

3-0 victory over Norway today.
Squad comprises entirely of lads at Irish clubs, with the exception of Aidan Cannon of Celtic. If this is him I hope he's changing who he refers to as "we": https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.st...ment%3ftop&

Ashbee, Hull City rang a bell. He is indeed a son of Ian Ashbee that played for Hull, including in the Premiership.
Can't find anything on Gabriel Kelly.
Shaun Wade signed for Chelsea from Bristol City in a "lucrative deal": https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bri...ap-5868461.amp
Any sign of a team sheet anywhere? Only really recognise Trent
Finished 3.2 Serbia
We hit the crossbar on 83 which should have been scored, they won it direct from a free kick three minutes later.
Thanks tets, checked twitter at kickoff. Should have expected the fai to be a little late with it.
Should have won that by quite a few goals. Was only able to half watch the second half but properly saw the first half. Plenty of decent looking players with a long way to go: O'Sullivan, Kone-Doherty, Dodd, Grante, Razi, Okosun, Negry-McGrath etc etc
Game is still available on YouTube
Ireland's two goals in quick succession, at 35:20(on the game clock) and the second straight from the restart after it
Crossbar is rattled at 81:50
Kone-Doherty looked good, tall for his age, and lanky
Rokas Katkauskas who is 14 going on 15 has been called up to the Lithuania u17s for afew friendlies.
This is an issue we're going to have more and more from now on. It's a lot easier for Lithuania, Latvia and Poland to call up dual eligible players from Ireland than it was for Nigeria to do it.
I’d say Poland would be the big worry (Poland even called up a Shamrock Rovers player to their squad versus Ireland) Latvia & Lithuania I’d be confident we’d keep hold of the top prospects. I’m not sure how good Rokas is but Ireland aren’t playing and being called up to a squad 2 years older than his current level is hard to turn down. I do know that Rolas is HUGE though.Originally Posted by Eirambler
He seems to be highly rated but is it just more or is he not the tallest for a CB? Or is it just players like Okosun are giants and make him look shorter in comparison?
Another one of Stephen Ireland's clients.
I watched the draw with Wales (on stream) yesterday.
We were the better side in the second half. First half was pretty end to end, Wales’ Tyler Myles was causing us all kinds of problems. But in the second half, we had about 5 chances to win it which we should have taken.
From an irish perspective, Ike Orazi was excellent. He’s raw but he’s very physically mature. He just went passed players with ease, was too fast and too strong. Serious potential, hard to tell at that age, how much is due to him being an early developer but really really exciting nonetheless.
Niall McAndrew was another one who is physically so advanced. Reminded me of Killian Phillips or Declan Rice playing underage.
Mason Melia missed an absolute sitter from a yard out but he did really well to get there, good movement and instincts. Held up the ball well throughout.
Joe Collins saved two excellent penalties. Didn’t have a lot to do in the game. Wind was hard to deal with, might have been a factor in the second goal. Not the tallest but he’s probably still growing
Kaylem Harnett was also pretty impressive. Voto, Murray and Moore all had their moments.
Interesting to see how we do against the north
Glenn Whelan is part of the coaching staff for the victory shield.
