Yes 1/1/2000 is the cut off. Possibly 2000 and 2001 are our strongest years in recent memory in terms of depth of playing pool so lots of options for the management team.

Ah OK, cheers for pointing that out. So is this comp for those born from Jan 1st, 2000 and on?

I think Danny Grant is overage unfortunately. I would see the options for the early part of the group as:
GK: Bazunu, Maher RB: O'Connor, Ebosele LB: O'Malley, Richards CB: Collins, McGuinness, Omobamidele CM: Hodge, Coventry, Connell, Kilkenny, Noss, Bowden, Staunton(assuming Knight is with the senior team and Smallbone is long term injured) WG: Ferry, Wright, Okoflex FW: Parrott, Obafemi (when back fit), Afolabi, Kayode, Cassidy, hopefully Odubeko (assuming Connolly and Idah are with the seniors) Other younger players that might feature later in the campaign would be Roughan, Ferguson and Furlong.

True, hopefully someone can post a list of who is eligible for this new campaign and a list of key players we have lost to both ageing out and promotion to the senior team. EDIT, see the post at the top of this page for some of that already 
Out of that list, Knight, Connolly and Idah are surely seniors, Collins not far behind him, Smallbone out until next season. We should be looking at promoting the likes of Hodge and Odubeko for a start. Danny Grant, Conor Noss, Oko-Flex, Deji Sotona....who else? Am hopeful someone like Gavin Kilkenny can really shine in this team. I'm thinking the likes of Ferguson and Zefi are too young but there is a train of thought that they are such promising talents they should be fast-tracked. Ferguson has played senior football in LOI and looks well able physically to hold his own against anyone he'd face in this comp. Interesting times.

Draw made and it's almost the same as the last comp!
That's mad, and a bit of a shame really as I doubt Sweden will be as easy next time around.
Bosnia a tough pot 4 draw also. No word yet on fixtures in March... Group F: Italy*, Sweden, Republic of Ireland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Luxembourg |

Reviving this now as I read this over the weekend:
https://www.uefa.com/under21/news/0265-1140e6c2f1d2-9e5a29437f36-1000--2021-23-under-21-qualifying-draw-28-january/ So the draw on Jan 28 will show us our opponents for the next tournament and off we go again. We are in Pot 3 this time so have moved up a pot from last time. I'm looking forward to this kicking off again as there's no doubt we can field a strong squad from the get-go and will also be interesting to see what new names are brought in. Bad news is that the early games will be Covid-afflicted, which may affect the squad breadth and make us rely more on UK&I players only. Anyway, onwards and upwards. |

Yeah completely over for us.
Roll on the next campaign and hopefully we get U19 and U17 football back in 2021 also. We certainly need some younger players to talk up and hope to Make Ireland Great Again* *we were never really great.

Is this campaign completely dead or we just assume Iceland will hammer the Armenians. Iceland game was the clincher.Pity the senior team needed the players.

Going off this campaign starting March 2019 I'd assume next March matches can start but because of Covid and the seniors playing three games in March the FAI would be wise to try get the first games played in June or September if the Toulon Tournament is a possibility next summer. Because of Covid and two tournaments happening next summer they might push the qualifiers to that September anyway. Probably hear more in the next two weeks as it's early December they normally decide the hosts, ourselves and the North put a bid in and draw the groups.

Strong squad and there will be others to come up from the 19's I'd hope. Edited by Fozz - 19 Nov 2020 at 9:59pm |

Missed the first few mins as the VPN sorted itself but watched the rest.
Mostly workmanlike against an opponent we dominated. This isn't a negative as our lineup was far from 1st choices. Ronan sprayed it around well without creating much. Mandroiu was a passenger. Kayode looked OK and took the goal very well but looks a tad sluggish. Leahy was bombing down the wing all night and looked dangerous. Overall we only won by one and didn't create many chances but we took two of them and completely dominated the game. Fair play to the players who picked themselves up from the bitter disappointment of Iceland. Roll on the next campaign. |
