Deserves a thread since he's got a cap now. 63rd player provided by Shamrock Rovers to the Republic of Ireland, more than any other club.

I asked this question once in a quiz, nobody got it.
 
All the idiots saying Arsenal, Liverpool, Utd, Celtic etc.
 
The answer is so obvious.

Home Farm have a far more impressive claim to "providing" Irish internationals than Rovers. They actually developed the players rather than just having later signed them.

Is this confirmed as caps won whilst at Rovers?

Yes.

Frank O'Neill has the most with 20 caps. Other notable players capped while at Rovers include Paddy Moore scorer of our first goal in a World Cup Qualifying game and Liam Tuohy scorer of our first goal in a European Championship qualifying game.

And what about the players that Home Farm poached from other clubs who 'developed' them ?

Let's get to the bottom of this. I'm nominating "Sunny Happy Days" kids Montessori in Kimmage as the Mecca of Irish underage talent development. 

I know you're involved in underage football and fair play to you but what do you think is the right course of action for youngsters and clubs? Surely, it's best to get all top players at the elite level whether that is DDSL Premier or LOI u13, u15 etc at the expense of the so called smaller clubs?

Yes of course.
 
DDSL 15 Premier used to be 'the' league and I agree with the LOI u15 but its argued that the LOI u13 is too young and putting too much pressure on young shoulders.
 
Every team (in the lower levels) has a gem or a late developer, AFAIK Conor Masterson didn't play top division football with Lucan Utd and there's plenty of other examples - the 14 year old that went to Atletico Madrid (with Coerver) that nobody in Dublin had heard of.
 
There is also a matter with the new system about compensation when players are 'sold on' to England.
 
Also the so-called smaller clubs are not that anymore.
 
A quick scan of the top divisions show teams from Ballyoulster, Newbridge, Leixlip, Corduff, Palmerstown, Esker etc at the expense of some of the 'so-called' Top Six. My teams this season have already beaten the Orchard, Belvo and Joeys. Got bashed by Rovers though LOL

Fair play Gary. Yeah, I think u13's is too young an age group for the LOI also but hopeful that it will work out. Regards to compensation pay outs, how this is managed is going to be key. The LOI underage set up is going to be a big financial drain on the clubs unless the money is coming in from somewhere. It will be interesting to see how it is all balanced. 

I'm glad to see Burke getting some recognition for the league anyway. The added exposure hasnt seemed to do him any harm either looking at his performance vs Pats the other week. I thought he was really superb that evening.

Guessing he'll move from Rovers at the end of the season. Any ideas where? Championship? League One? Or to Dundalk/Cork to make a European push?

Hard to know what will happen with Burkey, I don't think he would be well suited to League One football and reckon he probably knows this himself having spent time over at Notts County. He would make a better living I'm sure but would it increase his chances at an Irish call up? I doubt it. But I also don't think he is good enough to play Championship level so not sure what his options will be. Definitely a player who would suit a move to a completely different league in Europe but not often do we see LoI players make that move.

Of all the clips Soccer Republic could have used with passes in the game, they used the one where he went to clear it, hit it off his right foot out for a throw in and fell on his hole LOL Great moment for him to get a cap, and seemed comfortable in possession which is unusual for one of our players.

I predict a hat trick against the yanks and a summer move to the Cleveland city razzamataz
