He's only started a few games at Championship level and there's talk of him starting a crucial World Cup qualifier away to Portugal? Ah lads, we need to calm down. He's a good prospect and MAY be in the squad but there isnt a hope in hell he features in the match. Cullen is starting every game for Anderlecht and has been a consistent pick for Kenny lately so he surely stays in the team. I'd be guessing Kenny goes with a few of the more experienced lads in midfield as we need to figure out a way to stifle Portugal for as long as possible.

It's a fantastic pass that is beautifully executed from deep. I don't think he should be playing for Ireland yet. I thought the video was worth sharing and I think the pass is awesome- perfectly weighted, timed and aimed. There's nothing worse on this forum when a lad gets a few words of praise but other posters have to come in and lash about accusations of young players being blown up. Take your comments to the Troy Parrott thread.

It's a good pass and fair play to him but the whole "should have gone viral" etc is well over the top.

Kilkenny should be in the upcoming squad.
The fact he's so inexperienced and yet still should be in shows where we are when it comes to midfielders.

Kilkenny is playing well in the championship but you are very much correct in the the Portugal is too early. However, let's look at his competition in the team Molumby - no time on the pitch, needs a new team Hourihane - no time on the pitch, needs a new team. Hendrick - no minutes on the pitch, needs to earn his place at club level Brady - no club, probably injured Browne - playing for a team at the bottom of the league, form has nosedived

Pretty clear himself and Cullen need to start against Portugal it would be mad to throw in Hendrick when he isn't even playing.

While I agree that lobbing a guy in for his international debut away to Portugal probably isn't ideal, what do people think will happen? He'll sh!t his pants, curl up in a ball and have to be removed by stretcher?
