Must be the first player to represent us at senior level who is named after one of the country's founding fathers! In all seriousness, what kind of level is the Norwegian league? Is it much better than the LOI for example, outside of Rosenbourg? ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

It is currently ranked 29th on the UEFA coefficients ranking table - one place behind Kazakstan's Premier League and only two places ahead of Liechtenstein's top division. So the short answer to your question would appear to be: it's a fairly sh*te standard.

Most likely means 37 years old Gary Rogers of Dundalk. Honestly, our goalkeeping choices are plummeting no end. We'd be better off calling up Caoimhín Kelleher or someone like that than someone who has absolutely no future in the Irish squad. As for McDermott, well the level of the League of Ireland is as good if not better than the Norwegian league in general. I have never seen him play but I doubt a goalie from a mid table Norwegian league team is any better than a goalie from our own league.

| no the standard of the Norwegian league would overall be higher than the LOI. the facilities are light years better than anything we have. Obvisouly Rosenborg are the big name. Its irrelevant that he plays in Norway, if hes good enough then that's all that matters. We need to get away from the mindset that its England or nowhere. |

ODD played Rovers a few years ago too, I think the aggregate score was 4-1 to them. I might be forgetting a few results, but Rosenborg have been a few times over the last 15 years and ODD as well, and have all won comfortably.

I do not think the League of Ireland is of a high level by any means. However, McDermott's club Kristiansund would by no means be far ahead of some of the better League of Ireland clubs.

Well he got Kristiansand player of the year so he is obviously well thought of at his club. I have spoken to a few Norwegian work colleagues about him and they say he he a decent enough keeper and was a big part of Kristiansand finishing mid table last season after gaining promotion the year before. Kristiansand wouldn't be the biggest of clubs it would like Bristol City for example getting promoted and finishing 10th in the league. |

I do hope we cap Kieran O'Hara, at least tie him down and lets not have to deal with Grealish mark III in two years time. As an LOI fan I see no issue with McDermott being called up. Id much rather a 25 year old from a mid table Norweigen side get called up than a 37 year old keeper from Cork City or Dundalk. There is no keeper in the LOI at the minute deserving of a call up. We need to nail down O'Hara. ------------- Hometown football, cant beat the feeling... |

But only one of them is playing senior football at the minute, even though it might just be league 2 and a handful of games it's still senior football rather than academy games. Until Kelleher gets a loan and some senior games behind he'll always be behind O'Hara as it's hard to judge players off potential alone.

Their ground holds 4,000. There's more down watching Accrington Stanley ffs. Why aren't we making any effort at senior level with Bielsa's no 1 at Leeds, O'Farrell? Why haven't we made any effort with Conor Hazard at Celtic (on loan to Falkirk)? Two lads under 21 with potentially big futures. We bring in (i) Hearts reserve keeper who's biggest distinction is being transferred for £1; (ii) a thirty something GAA player who retired from soccer at 22; and (iii) a 37 yo LOI player. Jesus wept. At least O'Hara has potential, as does the young lad Kelleher. But they've a way to go. Peacock O'Farrell is much further down the line. The only other Irish-eligible keeper starting in the top two divisions.

Yes Rice would need to acquire Irish citizenship before that but how many English born players that played for Ireland went through the hassle of acquiring Irish citizenship. I know some of the lads like McGrath, O'Leary and Kilbane have but doubt the lads in the last ten years or so have.

Jaysis, that is an absolute farce. There's not a thing he could have done for either of those goals. First was a rocket into the top corner, the second a well placed finish into the bottom.

How on earth is he clearly at fault for the 1st, the ball literally rockets past him into the top corner.? I'm trying to find something to blame him for there, but there is literally nothing. Not many keepers would save either of them.

This is how I would imagine Hans describing them if they were Liverpool goals. The first was closer to the middle of the goal than the corner. The second was even more central and just went under him - he was possibly unsighted for the second goal though. Anyway I doubt those goals are the reason he was booted out after just three games!

Yeah it ended up in the side of the net but that hardly automatically means it was 'top corner'! Watch it from the angle behind the goal - it's nowhere near the top corner. I broadly agree with your sentiment that he wasn't horribly at fault for the goals, just feel you exaggerated the quality of the finishes. The pace of the shot is what beats him with the first one, whilst the second one came through a defender so he would have seen it pretty late.

It would be awfully picky to blame him for the first one, it is rocketed past him. He was a bit slow getting down to the second one alright, hardly worthy of having a contract ripped up. I would say it is more likely that the Dinamo chairman is the latest lunatic involved in Romanian football! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.
