FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

U23 is Olympic team, LoI selection. I assume you mean U21?

Wpuld be the second Cavanman to play for the senior team if he made it.

Meath, Offally, Carlow, Tyrone and Leitrim are the only ones to not have produced an Ireland player.

Villa U23s not Ireland.

[rodney trotter]

Inter Milan have a young Irish player Ryan Nolan. He was captain of the youth team, named in a few first team squads.

A few more Irish playing around Europe would be no harm. Instead of half the squad in the championship, although it's a good standard.

I guess winning All-Irelands takes precedence.

Yes. All three of them.

They've produced for Norn Iron ok.

Which Mayo man has played for Ireland?

Kevin Kilbane?

[An Watcher]

Shay Given's a good tyrone man sure.  Strabane n Lifford are one and the same!

[rodney trotter]

One of his Kilbane parents is from Mayo and the other from Longford. He was born and raised in Preston..

Don't think Roscommon have had any?

U23 is the reserves for English League sides now. Jake Doyle Hayes starts most games for Villa at this level. Was on thr bench last week for first team v Nottingham Forest.

Darren Fletcher has Mayo connection too. I wouldn't call either Mayo men though

Dean Smith is the right man for his development.

Actually, I think I confused Kilbane and Fletcher.

Kilbane's dad is from Achill as is Fletcher's mother.
Both have been to recent All Irelands to support Mayo. Indeed Kilbane was at the first league game against Monaghan this year.
