So we are coming under fire already !

I'm just suggesting you keep your powder dry for the right pun.

[DeLorean]

Yeah, no need to jump the gun.

3 goals and 2 assists is an explosive performance.

OK, back to business - only 5 games in the U18 Premier League but Irish players were still among the goals:

Charlie McCann scored two for Man Utd against Sunderland: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...land-v-man-utd

Shane Flynn scored one and was credited with the assist on the other Leicester goal as they lost 3-2 to West ham: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...am-v-leicester

Conor Carty and Festy Ebosele were the goalscorers in the 1-1 draw between Wolves and Derby: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...wolves-v-derby

Class he starts with the knee bandage on his left knee at the end it's on his right knee. Rory delap comments on it obviously in and around same age group as his son pity he is not involved with us

Following on from this. The Sun have gone in on it again. They reckon Celtic are in for him. And Arsenal.

Kenny's Kids is a brilliant platform. I'm sure they looked at the success of the Irish Abroad page and decided there was a gap in the content market. Two huge tools for all of us engrossed by all things international.

Smart move - there's more likely to be continuous football played in Germany than England over the next year

Excellent move for him. Germany is probably the best country in the world for developing keepers. In general they’re comfortable giving keepers games at a young age and accept the mistakes that young keepers will make.

Schalke was the club that developed Neuer albeit a long long time ago.

Currently they have Nubel who was the Germany u21 keeper that played against Ireland in the last campaign (he’s off to Bayern at the end of the season) and Schubert who is the current Germany u21 keeper, so the road could be blocked for a while.

Nonetheless, if he’s good enough, he’ll get game-time when he’s ready and further evidence of the keepers that Schalke can produce...
