[Baile Brigín 2]

Meath had their first player capped this year. Darragh Lenihan of Blackburn. His brother was on the meath panel.

Correct and noted.

They have a replacement and shafted the schoolboy clubs to build it. Its the league of ireland. Problem is the ole ole brigade see it as beneath them

That's not a replacement
It's like saying the Tipp Junior C championship could replace the Munster senior intercounty championship

Of course it is.

Look at the Irish squad. More players there came through the loi ranks than the schoolboy. Now there has been an investment and change in structure. We will see, but the U15s beat holland over there. The genuine soccer lads I know are very happy with the change in direction so far.

Mayo

Ollie Conmy

Conmy and his family were forced to emigrate from his birthplace of Mulraney when he was eight. Played for Huddersfield Town and Peterborough United over the course of his career. Was signed by Bill Shankly at the former.

He earned five caps for Ireland in the latter half of the 1960s.

110 cap Kevin Kilbane has strong family routes in Achill and is often seen at Mayo games these days, though he grew up in Preston.

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.

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?
