Irish soccerball nil - That boy Jinky will save us (Part 2)

I think the thing we can take from the two games is the players haven’t thrown kenny under the bus and are still playing for him.

The other thing is none of this Irish team bar a handful have really established themselves in their clubs and are set up for their careers.

It must be hard enough to focus on international football at this point particularly when we’ve so few experienced players to help.

Who are these two nobodies Johnathon Hill has got in to replace the great Ruud Dokter?

Cork beat Waterford 2-0 to win the Kennedy Cup.

Too many hurlers on the Waterford side.

After being humbled in the Semis yesterday, DDSL get the job done in 3rd/4th place play off against Wexford.

Great tournament by all accounts.

Hopefully he can recover from the damage Celtic did him

No young Irish lad should ever go near that place again after what they did to Duffy/Coffey/Connell/Afolabi/O’Connor.

A new backup as well…

The 21s have landed what would seem a more than favourable draw in Israel of the play offs, avoided a few sticky ones there. First leg at home.

Calling @mickee321

Have we a chance at this?

We need to think about letting 2 or 3 of the senior squad back to play in this IMO. Maybe even Idah for a bit of firepower if he’s back from injury

Id agree but the likes of Sadlier and the lad with him in post game analysis last day did their best attempt to publicly sabotage any plans Crawford may have had in that regard.

Stumpy Connolly has faded from the senior squad due to injury and loss of form. Crawford should call him up.

He’s 22 so too old isn’t he?

Good shout. He used to destroy lads on the left wing under Spock when he was u21

21 or younger at the start of qualifying is the rule

Informative

Hasnt he lifestyle issues, dont think he is veryy professional

Yeah think James Milner was 23 playing in an U21 Euro final for England back around 2009. Connolly just about underage. Surely worth the call-up.

When are the games on?
