https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Stadiums confirmed for the tournament: https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/venu...under-17-euros
The Carlisle and Whitehall. FFS. Seriously, Markets Field or Galway are within the threshold, even Athlone for god sake.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Looks like it yeah

Nice to see odubeko included up front.
Looks like hodge is sticking with us for now very surprising as he was starter for England and they have their qualifiers this week.
McCann s first call up has played loads for utd 18s .
With bazuna, obesele and parrott to come into this for the euros hopefully we will be strong. Sotona who made utd 18s debut at weekend also eligible.
Be interesting to see if oko flex is in the England 17s squad this week .
McKinley was on bench for derry again bohs last week
Strange that England's U17 side hasn't been announced yet, they start their elite qualifiers on Thursday
FWIW their U19 side has been announced - http://www.thefa.com/news/2019/mar/1...g-round-140319 - and includes Chelsea's Conor Gallagher, who some on here had been enquiring about
The Elite Qualifying Round for the U17 Championship starts this week.
List of groups and fixtures on wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_U...on#Elite_round
Okoflex not in England 17s squad. Just noticed both their keepers are from man city so man city have the best Irish under 17 keeper and the 2 best England under 17 keepers!and the Irish under 16 keeper doherty is there as well. Ho
ITs a mad one isn't it?Don't think there is any Scotland link. No one seemed to be able to explain how he is England eligible not even the lads over on bigsoccer England forum who could only argue the home nations agreement of going to school for 5 years in England but I can't see how that applies when you were born in ireland. Would he need to have English citizenship and is that likely given he moved over at 11 or 12?
He obviously has Nigerian father but no mention of English heritage. On the other hand seems unlikely Brits would have in loved him so much if he wasn't going to be eligible when it came to these qualifiers. The other option of course is he is not good enough for them. In fairness I thought he looked class in our under 16s victory shield win last season.
This means he could be eligible for Ireland in the summer so. Not sure I want him if money and resources mean more to him than national pride at this stage, I don’t he will though as I feel if he was going to be involved we would have seen him picked for Ireland u17s already.
The final qualifiers completed today, so the 16 qualified teams are as follows (more details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_U...ualified_teams )
Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and France all quailfied with 100% records. The Dutch scored 12 goals in their three elite qualifiers!Republic of Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, England, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, France, Austria, Russia, Hungary, Sweden, Greece, Czech Republic, Germany
The draw for the finals is on Thursday night at 6:30.
