Great peno for the U19s yesterday. He's clearly got a lot of confidence. You'd think with him, Idah, McAuley and Ronan Hale coming through, we'll get at least one gem of a striker for the senior team in years to come. Hopefully Irish strikers are like Irish buses in one respect: you wait for ages for one to turn up, and then four come at the same time. As opposed to just big, dirty, slow and likely to break down.

Owen never played for Wales at any level, I think that rule changed shortly after Giggs played for England. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to pick the English players we do at under-15 and under-16 level.

It is really difficult to blame the players themselves. I know that I wouldn't have been able to handle all that at 17, most of us wouldn't. The clubs have to take huge responsibility in developing human beings as well as footballers, something the English(Abu Dhabi, Russian, American ) almost deliberately ignore, especially at the richest teams . This is one of the hundreds of reasons we need them to stop stockpiling players at the richest franchises there. They only need a couple to be sold on, not to even make it at their team, and they will have made a profit and stopped another club that will get them. The whole system is sick. Anyway, rant over! It is unfair to be discussing this on the Parrott thread, there has been no rumours that he is anything other than a well behaved young lad with a promising future filled with bird jokes. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

He'll be 17 by the time out next games. If he continues to bang in the goals at Spurs then he has to be at considered I'm not saying he should be starting for us next year but I can see him being in a squad if he continues his form and perhaps given a run out against a 5/6th seed

He's still only 16 and he's obviously still got some physical development to do, but that's a very promising sign. I wonder if Mick might do something similar and call him up and allow him to train with the seniors as Lee O'Connor did recently. Terry Dixon, also of Spurs, was called up by Stan when he was still 16 and actually made the bench for the match against Chile.

Encouraging words from Poch . All the players that we have in the squad, the younger ones like Oliver Skipp or Troy Parrott, who was involved today for the first time, it's because they're involved in the first team during days, during weeks, during months, and it's only to give the possibility to play. I don't doubt and I am not worried about players who are injured or don't perform in their best, because we have another who can replace them.

If social media had been around when Paul McShane was 18 he’d have been the most hyped player to come out of Ireland for years. McShane was exceptional in his late teens. A mate of mine played with him and said he was the best player he’s ever played with. As far as I know, McShane made a mess of his career with United by taking on Ferguson - a battle he came out the wrong side of.

Ah he was. The fact that he was with Man United was a big deal. I also recall a story doing the rounds when we were 1 up at home to Czech Republic at half time after getting jockeyed in Cyprus the previous week. Some of the players were high fiving each other and apparently McShane, despite only being one of his first appearances, went bananas in the dressing room telling the lads to cop on as there were 45 minutes to go. He then went and gave Janker too much space and they got a draw out of us but the feeling at the time was that he would be a big star for us.
