We drew Germany, Israel, Norway, Azerbaijan & Kosovo. Could have been worse. That said would not rate our prospects of qualifying with King in charge. https://twitter.com/FAIreland?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/FAIreland?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor |

How the f**k is King still in that job  Someone like Kilbane would probably be better. Certainly no worse anyway ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one". Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn |

would ya go way with kilbane. we should have a proper decent manager with expierence in charge of our u21's. someone like brian mcdermott of the top of my head. hes out of work at the minute, he may not want the job but i'd like to see someone of his like in the job.

me too.  Went over the border in 2011 before the Macedonia game but don't really count a country now until I see a football match there. Assume they will be allowed to play U21 games at home. Senior games are played in Albania at the moment. Nice draw. Germany will obviously be strong favourites but hopefully we can challenge for 2nd.

Here are the weeks on which each game will take place - no exact dates and who we will be playing on each date.
• Kosovo and Gibraltar are making debuts among a record 54 teams competing in qualifying. • The nine group winners will qualify automatically for the finals. • The four runners-up with the best records against the teams first, third, fourth and fifth in their group will go into the play-offs and be drawn into two ties to decide the last pair of qualifiers.

2018 March 27: Ireland v Azerbaijan September 7: Kosovo v Ireland September 11: Ireland v Germany October 11: Israel v Ireland October 16: Germany v Ireland Forget Azerbaijan away as it is on the day of Serbia home. Kosovo away in Sept 2018 will depend on Nations League fixtures. |

Yes Stephen Kenny, but i'd like to see him remain with Dundalk at the moment and see if he can carry on his good work. I don't think there is anyone else within the league at the minute who might get us to a majoe finals. Possibly Kerr.

whats more worrying is someone in the FAI isn't doing something about it. every year were useless at u21 level but these people still stay in a job year on year. it should be in the FAI's interest for us to have a good u21 set up/manager etc. what do you have to do to get sacked at u21 level?

Anybody know the venue for our home games? I see Waterford are at home on the 25th so it seems unlikely we will continue in the RSC. Cork City are also at home as are Galway. Shamrock Rovers are away as are Sligo Rovers. Both have been used often enough in the past. Any chance of the Markets Field in Limerick?

Should have a decent midfield with those available, a lot of those are breaking through with their clubs and in some cases are regular,s isn't Liam Kelly still eligible too? What are our opponents like? Norway have a decent reputation for producing talent at the moment and, Odegaard aside, have a few players well known to talent scouts and football manager aficionados like Ajer, Sorloth, Thorsby and Samuelson. Anybody have any information on Israel or the others? As an aside, anybody know how Baba is getting on? Hadn't heard his name in a while. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I think MON has already said that Rice would be included in the U21s. That was before his exploits at the weekend against Southampton. There must be a fair chance he'll get a late call-up to the senior squad given the game-time he is now getting (currently playing against Cheltenham). Hope he is.

Yes, good squad  A lot of lads with plenty of Championship or SPL experience there. Most experienced U21 squad we've had for a while. Only omission you might question would be the boy Ronan Hale, who seems to have great potential. However he's not yet made his league debut for Birmingham, so fair enough.

The thing is though the FAI really don't seem to be remotely bothered by the results and development of players, as any other country in the competition is. The under-21 set up is a mechanism for tying as many english youngsters in to the irish system for as long as possible as an insurance in case they turn out to be any good. That is Noel King's sole remit as under-21 manager and in that respect this employers will perceive that he is doing a swell job. That is the mentality of the federation that runs our national football set up unfortunately and there are all to many Ireland fans who buy in to that mentality all too readily.

I don't know what King's remit is but Conor Dimaio cannot get a start for Chesterfield. Same for Kinsella at Walsall. Trevor Clarke is a talent and was superb for our u-19s last year. |
Posted By: Conan
Date Posted: 28 Aug 2017 at 12:55am
If you look at our under-21 squads from the last several years it is usually three quarters english players and mainly from under-23 squads and players in lower division squads who rarely amount to anything. Put this together with the FAI's satisfaction with the mediocrity of our performances and results over as long as you can remember (thinking nicking a win against Andorra is a great triumph) and the persistence with Noel King in charge, and the fact that Noel King is also in charge of British player recruitment and is judged and incentivised by how many english youngsters he can get capped in ROI squads. Then think of the meticulous dedication to unearthing grandparental connections of kids at english academies and contrast this with the pitiful neglect of player and club development on these shores and its clear they are putting all their eggs in the granny rule basket. Other associations look to improve the quality of their national team by investing effort, time and resources in to developing youth football within their jurisdiction. Belgium is a great example of a country that has turned around their fortunes by doing just this. The FAI on the other hand think it is easier to just tap up as many players as they can get hold of from a neighbour who has this structure in place. This is ethically dubious, lazy and parasitic and it is also unfair on the irish born kids who get neglected as a result and denied the opportunity to represent their country in favour of players from abroad who couldn't get in their own national age group squad. Also if a bunch of mediocre english players who can't get anywhere near qualifying for the under-21 finals ever are so much better than the best Ireland can produce then there's something seriously wrong with the development of young players in this country. That isn't going to change until the mindset of Irish football and its governors changes.

Thats arguably our strongest u21 side for quite some time. With a number of players playing for large clubs in England. And no, Whelan is from Chester.

| I think a lot of our youngsters have more potential than a lot of Youngsters we have had for years (Not all youngster's though but we have more with good potential). Im a big fan of a few players in the U19 that I'm stunned weren't included in the 21's e.g Jason Molumby. |
