QuoteWas an underage Irish player woth Borussia Dortmund a couple of seasons back called Patrick Kohlmann was an under 21 in 2005/2006 I think his mother is Irish. Dunno where he is now not the same fella by any chance
Sorry I don't know if this is posted somwhere else but someone told me that some young lad playing for St. Pauli has declared for Ireland. Does anyone know what his name is? St. Pauli might play in the German lower league but it's still nice to see someone coming through from the continent, although if I remenber right there was some brothers that played for Haarlem in Holland an few years back and nothing ever came of them.

His name just reminds of Celtic Tim.
In Trap we trust
There's another lad whose New Zealand born, Tim Pilkington, who plays for Freiburg in Germany and he's declared for us
You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser - Vince Lombardi
Here's a recent thread about him- http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=85926
Well it beats having to have a work permit, doesnt it?

Nonsense, Selcuk doesn't need a work permit.
if GavinZac is referring to Pilkington he could have chosen to play for New Zealand and still had Irish (and crucially EU) citizenship
Yeah I was, but if i recall correctly, the rules in the German league are slightly different to those in England (where citizenship is enough; hence arsenal buying a Belgian club and sending their foreigners there to get Belgian citizenship), in that to qualify as non-foreigner for their 5-foreigner rule, you have to actually have declared for an EU country, á la Asamoah. However I'm going on what someone told me, rather than any actual knowledge of the German league.

Interesting article on him here.
His mother is from Belfast, the story gets better.
could this be another one of those threads?

Please God no.....
will the IFA protest against his elegibility ala Bruce and Gibson or is that all dead and buried now?
Yes, dead and buried as in cast in stone.
It was just a small unfortunate mischievous gloat on my behalf.
The "normal" sane poster around here do not want threads about prospects ending up with an avalanche of posts about FIFA eligibility.
Anyone have any idea what happened to that Dutch born lad that was playing for us a few years back? Think his name was Emmelkamp, can't remember his 1st name and I think he was a keeper...
