    depends on what age you have the cut-off for a 'young player'

    Barrett is definitely up there, but (an obvious answer from a city fan i guess) John O'Flynn is still U-21 and few in the league can compare with him at any age.

    Zayed from Bray would be an obvious pick for a 1st div young player

    For us has to be, Darren Beasley. I think he's 23. Quality playmaker and is deserved of the nickname, "Zinedine" Beasley

    Keith Fahy is probably our best prospect. He played the first half for Ireland u20s last week (by agreement with Pats) and the manager said he was the best player on the park.

    He's actually a class act but he seems a bit of a pussy when it comes to 50/50s anytime I've seen him. What happens when Osam isnt there anymore to kick people around for him, how has he played when Osam hasnt been there next to him like?
    Oh no not them again

    Well he's mostly played wide right for us so tackling wouldn't be his main job. Only played centre mid v you (after Davey got injured) and v Rovers when PD went off.

    I think centre will be his best position. He's not afriad to get stuck in but definitely its his football skills that take him above most.

    Did he play on the right against us in the 1-1 game? Ye had one fella who took all the frees and was excellent when he had the ball but when we got it he dissappeared, am I think of the right guy, I think he wore 7?

    yah hes a wuss but got a sweet free kick on him ,took over from Russell with some superb free kicks (which teams still give away frees to Pats around the box and complain when it inevitably ends up in the net).


    El Kharerjhkjsdh ehh Viera is superb for Pats but a loaner and dont think even his parents know his real age.

    Lucky

    We're lucky that at saints at the minute we have an extremely young squad and each and every youngster has bags of potential. I rate Anto Murphy quite highly, McPhee is still under 23 as is Freeman, Quigley, Fahey, Adamson, Foley and Maguire are not exactly old mid 20's I think . Future is very bright

    Zayed is the 1st name that springs to mind but we have some very handy other youngsters -

    Flood - striker/lef mid
    O'Reilly - right full/centre half
    O'Connor - goalkeeper
    James - centre mid/right mid
    Forsyth - left mid
    Lawless - right mid/centre mid
    Kilkenny - striker/left mid
    Fitzpatrick - striker
    Smullen - right/left/centre mid/striker
    McGuinness - right/left/centre mid

    All these players are in the 1st team or knocking on the door, there all under 21 as well, its looking pretty good for bray at the moment, young players blearning the hard way, hopefully devo/mcguirk will contuine to play them in cruical fixtures to give them experience they need, it'll stand them good next season when were in the premier ! and of course we'll go up as champions !

    We have a couple of handy youngsters, the most obvious is Dan O'Connor, possibly the best young eL goalkeeper.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

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

    shane barrett is definitly one for the future and also adrian murphy rovers fans might remember him cos he came on last game of the season and scored a cracker with his first touch hasant really played that brilliant with the u-21's this season unlike last season but still gets on the score sheet nearly every game. i suppose kevin mc hugh from harps id be a hot prospect.
    sean dillon, paddy mulvihull and gary casin all have caps underage for ireland. Longford seem to have alot of good quaility young players and they just signed another under 21 irish player, graham gartland

    Stephen o'Mahony (current Ireland U-19) is our best prospect though players like Eoin Keating (21), Paul Finucane (21), Brendan Sweeney (20 I think) Stephen O'Flynn (22) and even Paddy Purcell (23) are all good young players. There's only one player on our panel over the age of 23 now.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.
