Ahead of Ogbene? I'd say that's unlikely. He'll be competing with Sykes to be be the other right-wing in the squad I'd say.

Can't wait for him to get his first cap

There is the chant

Whereas I keep thinking of Kasey Ryback of the USS Missouri 

Is he Jason's son

He did. Was followed by much speculation as to who this new winger from the Championship would be. 

I'd play him and Ogbene either side of the central striker. He looks a fantastic player

No 

If he was he'd be ineligible.

How do you know. Jason has an Irish passport therefore is an Irish citizen and would have been an Irish citizen when Kasey was born.  Therefore if he was his Dad he would be entitled to an Irish citizenship and an Irish passport.  

That wouldn't allow him to play for Ireland though. Great grandchildren can get citizenship in certain cases as you say, but they can't play for Ireland. Jason qualified through a grandparent so his son would be a generation out (unless of course the son qualified through his mother).

If someone has an Irish passport, their children can get one, if they have a passport they can play for the country. Going by that, he'd be fine.

Anyway, moot discussion, couldn't be his soon, we'd have long known. 

Trust me you are wrong.   Jason has an Irish passport and therefore is an Irish citizen. If Kasey was his son he could get an Irish passport as he would be the son of an Irish citizen. Where they are born is irrelevant.   FIFA allow anyone who is a citizen of a country to play for them.  

Having an Irish passport wouldn't be enough though. FIFA eligibility criteria specify you'd also have to have been born here, five years residency or parental or grandparental birthplace. Otherwise anybody could play for any country simply through having a passport dished out to them

FIFA rules outline it here.  The difference is that we hand out citizenship differently than many other countries.  We hand it out to a child or a grandchild of an Irish citizen as long as that person was an Irish citizen when the child is born.  Most countries don’t do that.

Looks a good prospect from the little I've seen. Has good pace anyway. Already scored against Bazunu, Kelleher & Duffy this season.

Some highlights (he's no.35):

Did you scroll down as far as article 6? 

ART. 6 NATIONALITY ENTITLING PLAYERS TO REPRESENT MORE THAN ONE ASSOCIATION 

1. A player, who, under the terms of art. 5, is eligible to represent more than one association on account of his nationality, may play in an international match for one of these associations only if, in addition to holding the relevant nationality, he fulfils at least one of the following conditions: a) He was born on the territory of the relevant association; b) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of the relevant association; c) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the relevant association; d) He has lived on the territory of the relevant association for at least five years. 

There's no exemption specially for Ireland to those terms.

Trust me I'm not, you are.

You can qualify for Irish citizenship as a great-grandchild of an Irish born person provided that your parent, the grandchild, obtained Irish citizenship before you were born.

However this does not extend to football. In terms of qualifying through lineage FIFA rules only allow it to go back as far as a grandparent, not a great grandparent. So it's possible to have Irish citizenship and not be eligible to play for Ireland, albeit it's a rare occurrence.

Best thing I take away from those clips are the runs into the box hes making and the areas he gets himself into in the box, really top class movement youd expect more from a striker rather than a winger.

He's eligible because of the GFA.

Was waiting for somebody to mention the GFA as Newryrep's head would then explode.

The GFA has zero impact on eligibility to play for Ireland 

A cousin of mine is a Leicester fan and he speaks very highly of Kasey. 

Not sure about that one as NR is more relaxed these days ever since he found the LORD 

Surprised no one had said it sooner.

McAteer was on the Quickly Kevin podcast and (pinch of salt required) he wasn’t even sure if the correct grandparent was used when he got his passport. Said the FAI had narrowed it down to 3 McAteer’s and just asked him to pick one and no one ever checked.

His paperwork didn't come through in time for November, but Kenny has now confirmed that McAteer is the player currently switching to us. He won't ever play under Kenny now, so hopefully the next man wants him after he's gone to the trouble of getting his paperwork sorted.

Really like Johnston, but he hasnt even made a Celtic squad this season has he, nevermind got game time

I see Tom Cannon is back on the bench. Does anyone think he will be welcomed back now at this point? 

He'll be welcomed back if he decides to come back. If he doesn't he doesn't, we have plenty of others coming through. Presumably it will run into next year now until he makes a call either way.

Just shows he is on the line up I looked at.

Playing out wide, Pereira + Justin the full backs

Sound cheers

Who???

Was flying before the injury & is having to get in line to get back in that side, which is strolling to automatic promotion & has picked up another injury too. Their bench tonight has a lot more established guys, several internationals in the line too. He's a decent player. 

The Vardy with 20 odd England caps and a major tournament finals with them you are on about is it  ?

No i meant the other one 

Rebekah?

Ffs Parker  yes Hamilton 

I'll give you Evan Ferguson.

Started the season with 4 goals from 5 Championship appearances.

He's been in and out of the side ever since. Had a few injuries.

Fatawau has become their 1st choice RW.

Eh thanks so much.

How did he play? 

pretty sure O'Shea said that he wasnt called up because he was injured, expect to maybe see him in the summer

He did yeah

Probably going to be a patchwork squad called up in the summer due to the low-stakes games with an interim manager and a setup that's in flux. Can foresee a good few dropouts. Hoping but not expecting for that reason that O'Brien will get an earned start. Azaz as well. And hopefully a few more call ups out of left field. Even if O'Shea wants to pick the most uninspired team as possible for his own self-serving reasons hopefully his hand will be forced in that regard.

Absolutely will be with the likes of Ferguson, Bazunu, Ogbene recently injured, on top of other long term ones like Molumby and Egan. Colemans fitness has been touch and go all season too.

Just watch the meltdown when he recalls Duffy, Stevens, Hourihane ...maybe even McClean to the squad

I'd expect a good few of the senior players to drop out, especially the ones who have played a lot of games.

Coleman will definitely be involved, as captain and as a senior player more than anything and probably the same with Duffy. Although I would probably expect Duffy to be sunning himself somewhere.

Regardless of the drop outs, it's a great opportunity for others to stake a claim in the squad, if not into the starting 11.
