He's the only one I've seen so far.Originally Posted by liamoo11
Doolin seems to be ecstatic after what he considers a great win over tough opposition.

As long as the goalscorers have good Irish names like Fiacre Kelleher then that's ok. It at least preserves the perception that it's an Irish team
Not to mention that he plays for Celtic; the real club team of any Irish fan!As long as the goalscorers have good Irish names like Fiacre Kelleher then that's ok. It at least preserves the perception that it's an Irish team
2 up at half time. stokes and manning. anyone seen much of manning at galway?
He's decent. Drifts in and out of games, little lightweight. Hopefully we hold onto him next season.
cheers. would he be more likely to leave for bigger club in league here or abroad
finished 2 all.maybe ran out of legs alot of same lads had to play from 2 days ago
Not sure, it might come down to if we get promoted or not. He did his leaving cert in June so he's ready to move away if an offer comes.
Paul Doolin is the only manager I heard off though who had been to Terryland to watch him.
Any idea where the games will be played in November as its not up on the UEFA site as of yet?
Edit: ok, see its in Ireland

guardian picked out most promising youngster at each premier club this lad the only irish one
Which lad?
Khius Metz of Burnley...
It appears to me that all the players in there were English-born with 4 representing different nations at international level (Willard-Scotland, Lewis-Wales, Metz-Ireland and Carter-Viclers-USA).
liamoo11 - I wouldn't worry about it too much. To be fair, you're either involved in the underage setup at club level, or you keep a really close eye, so I'd always follow your posts on the underage setup.
The reason I say don't worry is that as the Premier League continues to grow, and football starts developing in even more countries, then it's natural that Irish players are going to feel the squeeze.
I have one example that I can stand over, albeit from about 15 yrs ago. At the time, the boy was a very-well regarded underage player in Dublin, and he was courted by Arsenal. They promised everything. Player joined Arsenal. Within 3 weeks, Arsenal signed the Spanish and Italian under 16 captains, who just so happened to play in his place.
Now that fella went on to become an Irish international, despite a circuitous route. He wouldn't have featured on any list coming out of his club, because he has two International captains in his way, but he was extremely decent in his own right, and another player who would have had a better career on the continent.
That was 15 years ago, and the Premier League has exploded since then. The academies of Premier League clubs has become so big, from what I've looked into anyway, that some of the most influential transfers a club makes, isn't necessarily players, but what directors, coaches and scouts of a rival academy.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Sorry I thought I had linked the Metz link. Guardian site seems a bit awkward
