Many thanks JR. I know a few of these kids as my own lad was in this age group. Some of the Pats lads are promising.

**elatedscum** · 19/10/2022, 11:59 AM

Real shame that their best player isn?t in the squad. I wonder if Liverpool refused to release him.

Beyond that, I like O?Sullivan, Wade, Okosun and Dodd. McGrath and Razi also have a bit about them.

**tetsujin1979** · 20/10/2022, 2:42 PM

Games to be streamed on LOI.tv

**Kingdom** · 20/10/2022, 5:10 PM

Just gone 1-0 up vs Armenia through Romeo Akachukwu. Norway 4 up against Belarus in the other match.
It sounds like we've been battering them,

**Kingdom** · 20/10/2022, 5:37 PM

2-0 Mason Melia literally just on as a sub. 20 to go, that should be that.

**Kingdom** · 20/10/2022, 5:51 PM

Brilliant. Razi & Grante have made it 4 with a few mins to go. Great start. 21 attempts vs 1.

We play Belarus first the next day, a good win there will put some pressure on Norway ahead of the final match vs them.

**elatedscum** · 21/10/2022, 12:08 AM

Good performance. My LOI.TV stream was poor, not sure if it was my internet or the stream itself.

We were dominant from the get go. Disappointed we didn?t convert chances in the first half considering the ball barely left their half. Thought Wade was excellent in the first half. Corey O?Sullivan wasn?t as impressive without TKD in front of him. Kehir wasn?t the same out ball down the line and didn?t show for it as much. First time seeing Orazi play. He was impressive. Won the penalty well, quick feet, good turn of pace.

Looking good to qualify, the game against Norway will be a good test?

**tetsujin1979** · 21/10/2022, 12:13 AM

I had no issues with the stream, might have been your connection?
There was a chance around 10 minutes into the first half where we spent about 20 seconds in their box, but couldn't get a shot away for some reason!

**tetsujin1979** · 23/10/2022, 11:20 AM

Second game of the qualifiers today against Belarus

**JR89** · 23/10/2022, 4:26 PM

Poor result for the U17s today and will likely lead to a poor seeding for the elite round play if we don't beat Norway.

**tetsujin1979** · 23/10/2022, 6:08 PM

Norway beat Armenia 7-0 in the other game in the group today

**Kingdom** · 26/10/2022, 3:53 PM

Drawing 1-1 at half-time after being one nil down. Few changes from the side that had a few changes against Belarus.
Belarus beating Armenia 2-0 at ht, but would require them to hit 6 and us to concede 3 or 4 in the second half to be eliminated.
Of course if we win we qualify as group winners.

**elatedscum** · 26/10/2022, 4:34 PM

Could really use some fresh legs - I’d be inclined to bring on Melia, Dodd and Wade

**elatedscum** · 26/10/2022, 4:37 PM

Keeper saved a penalty. Thought it was a bit of a harsh penalty anyway. He’s in the school of Brian Maher, Jimmy Corcoran tiny keepers.

It’s the Norway side we beat 3-0 recently with our best team, so more than capable of getting a result

Pot C: Türkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, Poland, Cyprus, Scotland, Croatia, Latvia

Draw completed earlier: https://www.uefa.com/under17/news/02...und-draw-made/

Group 1: Serbia, Israel, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus
Group 2: Montenegro, Wales, Scotland, Iceland

Group 5: Portugal, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia
Group 6: Italy, Ukraine, Cyprus, Republic of Ireland

Group 8: France (holders), Switzerland, Latvia, Albania

tough group, but the seven best runners up go through so still in with a good chance
Italy topped Group 8 - beating Kosovo, Finland, and Greece
Ukraine topped Group 2 - Beating Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein, and drawing with Bosnia and Herzegovina
Cyprus finished second in Group 11 - beating Gibraltar and losing to Serbia. Russia were originally drawn in that group and were removed due to the invasion

**SkStu** · 08/12/2022, 2:19 PM

Is the elite phase a home and away series?

edit: Says hosts TBD so assume it is like the U19s - one location, one game against each team...

**tetsujin1979** · 08/12/2022, 2:46 PM

Yeah, it's going to be held in Cyprus: https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/uefa...-for-u19s-u17s

The Ireland Under-17s beat Armenia and drew with both Belarus and Norway to reach the Elite Round, where they will meet Italy, Ukraine and Cyprus in Group 6, with Cyprus hosting the games.
