    eL / Ireland U-21 Futsal Squad Announced

    Got the notification through today of the squad that's been selected.

    2 Shamrock Rovers, 3 Bray, 1 Derry, 1 Shels, 1 Longford, 2 Bohs, 2 Cork City, 1 Galway United and 1 Bluebell United players are in there.

    Bit strange that with the lack of St Pats players in the squad - you'd think that the National Champions in the sport set-up to allow the National Team to compete in international competitions would have at least one player in there...
    Kom Igen, FCK...

    Not really when you consider they were made up of mostly foreign nationals.

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    I believe no player in the Pats futsal squad qualifies.

    Why would that rule him out?

    And Brendan Dawson for Shels is muck. Massive geezer who spends the whole game trying to kick the opposition. Eh, exactly what futsal is all about

    Qualification for the International futsal squad is exactly the same as for any other International squad, i.e. you have to be Irish or qualify through the parent/grandparent rule, etc.

    The team that represented Pats in the eL futsal has nobody that qualifies, hence no representation.

    Ya most definately. It was in the paper the other day saying that he has left cork city and returned to his native ballincollig. Shame tho he's a super player.
