as an irish-American following the team from afar, I think part of the "issue" in terms of perception/pressure/etc that's been discussed last few pages is these lads get intensive coverage for a brief period of time that's maybe over the top. parrott right now is the example, but think of conor masterson on bench for Liverpool last year. sure it is a great step in his progression and we are all rooting for all of them to fulfill their potential but they get articles in all the papers/websites, interviews on RTE, etc its a lot. as tough as it is, rather than hoping they are the "next bale" or "next keane," we should just be enthused that they are making quantifiably positive steps (ie parrott continuing to score for club and country) and avoid building expectations so high that failure to become one of the best irish players in a generation is a failure

check the kenny mcevoy thread

It's great we have a striker with such great potential coming through . It's promising to hear pochettino talk about him and already rate him . But yes he has a long way to go before he becomes a premier league striker .
