Someone I know has told me this 19yr old, 2nd generation Irish lad will be called up to the next U-21 national squad, pending him getting his passport through and getting citizenship.
He's showing great promise at Watford after coming back from a loan spell at Wealdstone, who a mate of mine goes to watch.
Nice to hear of more promising talent coming through, especially at such a high flying club.

I wanted to. I told Mrs Stuttgart I wanted to watch a bit of it on telly last nigyt. "What, another useless teenage Irish kid, yeah?" she responded. Having made her watch England beat our U21s 3-0 live on TV I didn't have much to argue.
Still, from the 5 mins I saw I can say that at least he's not another Irish shortarse. -
You need a "type of box" or even a Linux machine stutts, ye wouldnt have to worry about any of this stuff!!! Ye can record multiple things at once and/or stream more than one channel in your house.....no extra cost either just the price of the box!I wanted to.

And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away -
I gotta pick my battles. Palace vs Watford to watch a guy who may not even decide to play for us wasn't worth putting up for debate.

You're painting a picture in my mind of you as a mad professor analysing him under a microscope, twiddling with the focus to record the perfect analysis of his every attribute. Originally Posted by Sligo Hornet

Ah now, no need to be so waspish (geddit!) but it's probably just in your nature isn't it. Originally Posted by Sligo Hornet

What could I do, that was the image of you coming through. Anyway, professors have to be mad, all the good ones are at least. I mean who wants to be just a plain old professor? I did toy with nutty but felt it derisory, mad gives you more of an air of mystique, perfect for one of our esteemed foreign correspondents.

Hey i must be entitled to an award for highlighting jj and playing a part in his call up !!........ how about deducting my infraction points
I have a head only Snow White would love -
I hope you're right SH - after all, i) he's a Watford player, ii) he's 2G and proud and on top of that iii) he's from our neck of the woods - but I can't help thinking "Al Bangura" every time I've seen him so far... Originally Posted by Sligo Hornet

You're right PP in as much as he is a hard tackler, like "Bang", but he has so much more in his attacking locker and a keen eye for goal ( although yet to hit the net for the first team ).....and like you say fits "our" criteria

Hopefully the first of many.. -
he did well last night when he came on, nice finish to boot. Good luck to the lad.
