Thanks for that. The interview with his dad on the athletic is very good. He was down in Dublin at assessment days with the Fai in 2021 when he was maybe 12 or 13 so just shows the fai do put in work with northern players to have them involved Ed which is great. Catholic family celtic fan played gaelic up to last summer and grandad former Gaelic and soccer star

just on the age, I read on twitter about a 13 year old with Northampton that's been called into a training session.
Not sure how that sits with me to be honest, 13 is really young for that

I didn’t even know we had u13 squads.

I think it was just a training camp, the youngest squad I know of is the U15s

i suspect that is BS. The FAI run these "development squads" that are basically kids that werent good enough through a range of ages to be picked up by a LOI academy and generally its the FAI coaches pals and contacts kids as everyone knows none of them are good enough and thus no one really cares but its enough to tick a box and pretend that the FAI coaches are doing something.

Interesting stuff

Northern Ireland’s gain may turn out to be the Republic’s loss. Christopher, who has an Irish passport, was on the pathway to represent the Republic of Ireland and impressed during Dublin trials in 2021, but the Northern Irish FA’s head of elite youth performance, Andy Waterworth, intervened and persuaded Stephen to bring Christopher to them.

Stephen speaks glowingly of Waterworth and his staff, who he says have helped develop Christopher at training in Belfast over the past year.

If he's 13 then he's more than likely an u14..he's probably attending assesement days which they are doing for that age group at moment, so they have idea when they get to u15 squads. Not sure if Northampton should be announcing it like they did though.

[JR89]

Definitely assessment training sessions. We'd a couple of lads that were called up to them about ten years ago. As exgrad said they were getting a closer look at lads for the u15s squad.

Signs for West Ham

[elatedscum]

problem is, he'd probably be called up within a year just to cap him. we've seen with mcclean and sykes that they were both nearly victim to allowing themselves to be capped by NI while always dreaming of playing for ireland

in the end was capped less than three months after i wrote this (about Callum Marshall)

Did Kelly refuse a call up there do you know ?
Both were tipped.
