It’s good to see the under 21s doing well. But I would personally prefer to see more players from loi clubs getting a chance. Irish underage teams seem to be picked only from Dublin and England. There should be a quota from all parts of the country. How else will the game progress.
@prop joe: wasn’t a Derry city striker playing in this game for the under 21s ?
@Joey McCarthy: one out of how many?
Apparently there are signs of some good things now starting to happen in Irish youths again & some grassroots investment is paying off. Be great if it was true but be greater if we got Brian Kerr going again. He is the Eddie O’Sullivan of Irish soccer
