Saaaaaaaammmmmm Just shows how quickly things can change in football, and for any young player what's possible for them
A year ago this month he'd never played a professional game, and had just joined Bath City in the NLS, a year later he's getting called up for the Irish senior squad
It's also a measure of how far he's come by the fact he was never once considered for the Republic Of Ireland U21s, and only ever made four appearances at U19 level (2 as a sub)
Exactly a year ago during the same international break as this one upcoming, Sean Long, Shane Griffin, Niall Keown and Josh Barrett all played for the Ireland U21s against Slovenia, safe to say he's moved onto bigger things than all four of them this season

Yep, fair comment. Think we're currently ranked 24th, which sounds about right. Much harder these days for Irish players to play in the PL, with all the competition. And rugby is encroaching on soccer in youth take-up terms.
The main boys school in my hometown for instance doesn't have any soccer teams. Gaelic football, rugby, rowing, basketball, hurling. No soccer.
I don't think 10, 20 years ago a player with as little experience as Liam Kelly, would be getting a look-in in the squad.

Can't argue with that.
Similar in a lot of ways to maybe ICELAND....

If they were French, Spanish, Italian or African names then a lot of them probably would be in the Premier League. Not enough lower league shopping these days

bobby1413 Kevin Doyle is still in the squad? For some reason I thought he'd been dropped ages ago
