Discuss your league, who are the favorites to win the league this season? Who will be promoted/relegated, how are you doing in the cup?
National Side (43)
How do you feel about our National side..was really impressed with our World Cup performance never expected us to get that far a good few of the players played in this League too so we may not be far off European football!
European Qualifiers aren't going so well..
Do ye try to grow up and train Irish players for the team?

might be the best idea, I love how, as this game grew, our team got better as the seasons went by, and rose to damn near top 20.. loved it, and proud to be a manager that had players being a part of it.
Yeah its been crazy considering our League size,we've actually recently broke top 20 were 18th now..won't last as we didn't qualify for the European Championships but still unreal.
So we've broke top 20 for the 2nd times this season... :D thats good... tis a shame we'll probably fall to the outer reaches of top 30 but the hope is not many pass us in the rankings.
Yeah hopefully we bounce back for the World Cup Qualifiers
we have a poor national team and a good coach.
Gaz has 7 NT players, david has 5, and i only have 1 plays for wales.....

Thats one way of putting it...
Haha thats kinda the blunt truth alright..our team is aging quite a bit too i noticed..i plan to keep giving priority to Irish players so hopefully see improvements
I plan on running for the manager of the Irish Side this time round think i understand the game a lot better now and will hopefully rebuild an aging squad to do some damage for the upcoming qualifiers!
Haven't given much insight into the team recently.
Some promising players who you you'll be seeing more of in the future

We've now only 5 players that are 30+ years old and i've phased out most of them recently now.
Overall our squad no was an average age of just under 25

Few changes made to the new team couple new faces playing in the Irish League will be getting the chance :D
Tough Friendly against a superior Croatia side tomorrow good few changes to squad,see can the young lads step up!
European Qualifying kicks off tomorrow.
Best of luck to fencer and this squad.
Were pretty evenly matched with Turkey there Midfield is there strong point so crowding them out of it there might be our best bet as we have a solid Midfield ourselves.And our Defense is just a bit above there's as a whole .A close game will be had that's for sure.
Ukraine are probably the strongest outfit in the group closely followed by Northern Ireland. There just finished there World Cup campaign and will be looking to qualify again and all round solid team with depth in all positions. Park the bus i'd say as our defense has proven solid in the past
Georgia similar in strength but have some older players in defense which is something i dumped from the Ireland team in favour of the speed and fitness of younger players which may pay off here. But again another talented Midfield and striker but there weakness is there defence.
Northern Ireland. Big rival game,first time meeting them i think..they have one superstar midfield player that'll need to be watched but apart from that we match them in most areas
Russia is another good shout at a win they have one top notch defender but he isn't likely to be up front much and we match them in every other area a dogged fight will ensue to get anything out of the fixture.
Player to watch : Ross Mckenna new young striker coming up who has nearly a 7 star potential should be our go to man for goals.
Hard to predict where we will come as ive found internationals can be very random at times and cruel too ha,our young team should grow well throughout the campaign and hopefully see us battle for that 2nd spot it'll be tough as the top 2 teams are a good bit above us but we beat the Austrians in the WC qualification and they made it to the R16,so fingers crossed and best of luck!!!

thanks, David. I will not change the NT list this time, hope we can pass through the European Qualifying so everyone can get more exs.
