Givens has faith in Galway ace

November 17, 2009

Republic of Ireland under-21 manager Don Givens has invested his faith in Galway United youngster Seamus Conneely.


Conneely comes into the side against Armenia today (Tuesday) for his first start at international under-21 level.

Regularly utilised at right back by Galway this season, he has been compelled to show his versatility in a green shirt following a spate of injuries to first-choice players.

With Everton’s former Sligo Rovers youngster Seamus Coleman, Crystal Palace’s Sean Scannell and Ipswich’s Owen Garvan all unavailable to play in Yerevan, and four other certain starters forced out before the squad departed last week, Conneely will play in midfield in Yerevan.

Nevertheless, Givens has no doubt about his ability to leave his mark. He said: “[We have] seven of the original squad gone and all of them would have been in contention to start.

“You sometimes lose squad players but the likes of Alan Judge, Brendan Moloney, James McCarthy and Ian Bermingham were all starters for us and they had to pull out already.

“It opens doors for other people. Seamus Conneely is playing everywhere for us. He made his debut at centre-back and now he’s playing midfield, where I know he has played for his club. I think he can do it.”

Bohs, Chelsea young guns added to under-21 squad

November 17, 2009

Paddy Madden and Conor Clifford have been added to the Republic of Ireland under-21 squad for the Uefa Championship qualifier against Armenia this morning (Tuesday).

Manager Don Givens was left short on numbers after Everton defender Seamus Coleman (ankle), Crystal Palace winger Sean Scannell (hamstring) and team captain Owen Garvan of Ipswich Town (suspended) were all ruled out of the Yerevan encounter.

With Alan Judge, Brendan Moloney, James McCarthy and Ian Bermingham all having withdrawn from the squad prior to the trip to Georgia, it leaves the team well short of full strength for the meeting with Armenia.

Striker Madden, who broke into the Bohs side this season and helped the Gypsies to the League of Ireland title, is handed a debut call-up, while Clifford is a regular for the international under-19 side.

Lanre Oyebanjo, the Histon full back who has been linked with a move to Peterborough United, Galway United defender Seamus Conneely and Celtic wide man Graham Carey – who scored against Georgia at the weekend after coming on as a substitute – have all been named in the line-up for their first under-21 starts.

Starting XI Republic of Ireland under-21 (v. Armenia): Redmond (Nottingham Forest – on loan to Burton Albion) - Oyebanjo (Histon), Morris (Newcastle United), Dennehy (Cardiff – on loan to Hereford United), Hughton (Lincoln) – Conneely (Galway United), Gleeson (MK Dons), O’Shea (Birmingham), Carey (Celtic) – Collins (Aston Villa – on loan to Darlington), Sheridan (Celtic – on loan to Plymouth Argyle).

4-1 hiding handed out to us by Armenia....I ask you what is the U21 all about ? From constant crap results like this I suspect that it is just been used as  feeder team for the senior setup unlike say England where they have a full structure and try to be competitive...just goes to show that brian kerr was genuis with the young fellas .

How can Givnes look at himself and say that he is the man for the job and at this stage nobody else deserves a tilt at this .......and i am refering to Armenia NOT Argentina here...it's a disgrace that our boys are constantly subjected to this type of hammring ...no wonder we hve a lack of confidence and are used to losing at senior level.

CHANGE IS NEEDED NOW

An under-strength Republic of Ireland Under-21 team slipped to a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Armenia in Yerevan.

Without seven first team players through injury and suspension, Ireland had to ring in the changes.

Ireland’s first effort on goal came on 18 minutes when Graham Carey’s free kick from 20 yards went narrowly over the crossbar.

Cillian Sheridan almost broke the deadlock on 22 minutes. Lanre Oyebanjo played a neat one-two with Jay O’Shea before crossing into the box. However, Sheridan’s header went wide.

When the opening goal did arrive, however, it was for the home side. Hovhannes Goharyan received the ball on the left and played in Henrikh Mkitaryan who produced some clever footwork to make space and fire past Shane Redmond from 16 yards.

The hosts almost doubled the lead on 35 minutes. Graham Carey was dispossessed in midfield and a swift counter-attack saw Karlen Mkrtchyan’s shot blocked before Redmond produced a good save from Mkhitaryan’s rebound.

James Collins almost got Ireland back into the game on 44 minutes after he ran onto Redmond’s long clearance, but the striker’s effort went over the bar.

Callum Morris was the next Irish player to pose a threat when he connected with Stephen Gleeson’s free kick on 59 minutes. However, his glancing header went narrowly wide.

Just one minute later, the hosts doubled their advantage. The lively Mkhitaryan played a one-two with Malakyan before calmly slotting past Redmond from just inside the penalty area.

Ireland pulled one back on 64 minutes – Seamus Conneely crossed into the box and Cillian Sheridan rose highest to head past Hovhannisyan.

Advantage was restored on 73 minutes, however, when Hovhannes Goharyan’s brilliant effort from 20 yards sailed into the top corner of the Irish net.

Mkhitaryan secured his hat-trick from the penalty spot on 82 minutes after Oyebanjo was adjudged to have taken Malakyan down.

Armenia: Hovhannisyahn, Edigaryan (Khachatryan, 72 mins.), Yespashyan, Arakelyan, Hayrapetyan, Manoyan, Voskanyan, Mkrtchyan, Malakyan, Mkhitaryan, Goharyan (Badalyan, 90 mins.)

Substitutes not used: Fishyan, Ghazaryan, Andrikyan, Yagan, Tadevosyan

Republic of Ireland: Shane Redmond, Lanre Oyebanjo, Cian Hughton, Callum Morris, Darren Dennehy, Seamus Conneely, Graham Carey (Conor Clifford h/t), James Collins (Paddy Madden, 65 mins.), Jay O’Shea, Cillian Sheridan, Stephen Gleeson

Substitutes not used: James McKeown, David Meyler, Kevin Long

Referee: Radek Phihoda (Czech Republic)

This is a f**king joke at this stage, he has to be the only manager at any level in world football who's job safety is not based on results. Any example of how amatuer an organisation the FAI are

Givens has to go.
He really has the best job in football. Our u21s dont get much media coverage, and lucky for Don, his mess goes unnoticed.
 
What were the criteria needed to have this job??????
How much does he be paid???????

im worried lads for our players because, sean mcCaffrey has the best bunch of under 19 players we have had for years... We have not seen this talent for so long.....

HOWEVER, i am really fearful that Givens will get his hands on these lads and it will lead to .........

bust ups,

bad results,

waste of talent,

bad morale,

and much more.... He should be let go...he really should...

Dunphy (finally) highlighted this after the match last night, said Don Givens was corrupting our young players

In an ideal word he would have left the job 4 years ago and Stan could have cut his teeth there instead.

he is one of the big players in the fai and has alot of support, he is unsackable to be honest, he should do the decent thing and steo down.
 
he has had numerous run ins with players over the years, handled the s.ireland situation poor enough, i have seen a few u21 games and they play with fuuck all coaching or leadership, the man does nothing he sends them out and hopes for the best.
 
he will never be sacked he plays the fai game goes along with the suits and will be there untill he decides to leave

I seen an interview this week where he is basically disgusted that anyone would consider his position after the Armenia defeat and goes onto state how he’s done such a great job blah blah blah sh*te! His record out of 49 games is something like 13 wins, that is embarrassing.

Another U21 campaign, another embarrassment under this clown. We don’t have an incredible 21’s side I admit, but we have been under achieving at this level for years under this gimp. Another farcical situation at the FAI.

i'm sorry, but we all know he's doing a terrible job, but I wouldn't call one of Ireland's greatest strikers a "gimp". Yes, he should be removed, but still treated with respect. As should Stan, as it goes.

Agree totally that Givens has to go, I know that for small countries u21 grade is difficult because the best players will be in the senior set up but the way our u21 team is treated is crazy...obviously the fai dont care how we progress at this level and never really have..
 
Proper structure must be in place and a proper coach in charge maybe even some one who is involved with senior set up...maybe Tardelli... or someone with experiance of developping players...Heighway maybe...
