Players eligible for Ireland

I do have some sympathy for him. I know from experience how all-encompassing tracking player appearances can be. He says himself it was dictating when he slept, when he ate, and when you think that on some weekends MLS games can start here at 2am, Australian A-League games are early morning, then English and Scottish games are on from 12 until 8, and then it starts all over again the next morning, he's had little free time for the last two years.

Any journalist that was putting out the updates as frequently as he has been since he started the account would be well compensated for the time put in, and he was doing it for free.

Thats an incredible achievement for him, you've got to be technically good to play in la liga and for such a young lad... Do we know anything more about him? I believe he's a forward? Do we know where he is in terms of playing for ireland. You'd hope someone in the FAI has reached out

Can't see his name mentioned anywhere on the flashscore lineups.....does he have a Brazilian nickname? Aye, Patrick.

Ah right, was hoping it would be Cucu....don't know why

When do you ever see a European footballer, or basically anyone who isn't Brazilian, avert using their surname or modify their name like that?

I thought his ban was temporary?

You'd hope someone in the FAI has reached out  On off the ball yesterday, Johnny Ward said Finn hadn't been deemed good enough to be part of an underage training camp not long ago. This suggests he has been on the FAI's.  Appearing in La Liga at 17 is a great sign. Is Mr. Snrub able to cast any light on the FAI position? Haven't heard anything
