Trying to think who the last Irish person to play in the Bundesliga was?
Patrick Kohlmann played - or was in the 2. Bundesliga?
Struggling for another, though there's probably someone obvious I'm missing

Noel Campbell for sure? Cologne wasn’t it???
Linked with a loan move to Schalke now. Couldn't do any harm.
If he plays then brilliant. they are a big club in a bad place at the moment
Interviewed on Borussia's website after making his second appearance for them yesterday

Scored in a friendly against Ukraine for Monchengladbach yesterday. Ukraine are preparing for the World Cup qualifier and nations league games

Nice finish from him.
I've been checking, and if he does score in the Bundesliga, I think he'll be the first Irish player to do so?
Can't find any record of a goal for Alan Clarke, Patrick Kohlmann, or Noel Campbell
By the way this is the same Conor Noss who Crawford didnt think was good enough to be in the last U21 squad
This is the midfielders and forwards named in that U21 squad against Sweden: https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/u21-...eden-qualifier
Of those, only O'Neil had played less minutes then Noss at the time of the squad announcement. He's actually not made his senior debut yet, but he had scored the winner against Sweden in November, which probably kept his position in the squad. Noss came on at the same time as O'Neil in that game, and had a fierce shot saved by the goalkeeper. Five minutes later, O'Neil scoredMidfielders: Conor Coventry (MK Dons, on loan from West Ham United), Dawson Devoy (Bohemians), Gavin Kilkenny (Bournemouth), Will Smallbone (Southampton), Ross Tierney (Motherwell)
Forwards: Festy Ebosele (Derby County), Evan Ferguson (Brighton & Hove Albion), JJ Kayode (Rotherham United), Mipo Odubeko (Doncaster Rovers, on loan from West Ham United), Ollie O’Neill (Fulham), Colm Whelan (UCD), Tyreik Wright (Colchester United, on loan from Aston Villa)
You could make a case for including Noss ahead of Kilkenny, Smallbone, or Ferguson, but we did win that game, so Crawford probably knew what he was doing
1st team football can be misleading though. Would I rather have a guy playing 1st team football for UCD or Colchester or someone on the fringes of a Bundesliga team?
Its the Managers job to look at whos actually a better player regardless. Personally I just dont trust Crawford to make the right decisions
