Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Cairan Coll The Irish left back under 19 guy that we supposedly signed at the end of August last year? I've seen a fair few under 19 games but never seen this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I won't sleep tonight till I find out;) I seem to remember some story about him saying he does not know what his situation is and that he was told to continue at his previous club on loan or something. All a bit sketchy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I think Celtic were also sniffing about this lad. I'm sure there was a story going about that he'd signed for us only to then get an offer from Celtic. BTW, How many youth players from Ireland/Norther Ireland have signed under John Murray ? And how many have actually made the grade ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Dance Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Cairan Coll The Irish left back under 19 guy that we supposedly signed at the end of August last year? I've seen a fair few under 19 games but never seen this guy. As said above, I'm pretty sure he's 16 or 17 and is only playing for the under 17s. Apparently a decent prospect.

Alan_R Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Good point. In fact, when was the last time any youngster from Northern Ireland made the grade anywhere? Andy Kirk? Not great but not terrible. and Lafferty looks a decent player imo. or do you mean making the grade = premiership quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 He's here! He played in the 17's last Monday against Hibs Hello chickalittle And how are you this evening? Cairan did play last Monday as you say, and must have been quite a confused young man with all the various indtructions being bellowed at him from the coaches. Not sure how many times he has played, but I thought he worked hard but would suggest he has a bit to go, hopefully he'll get there.

Only a Game Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Good point. In fact, when was the last time any youngster from Northern Ireland made the grade anywhere? Norman Whiteside stands out.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Good try. Who were the last Scottish youngsters to have 'made the grade'? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "good try". Anyway, what I meant was there has been a real dearth of talent from Northern Ireland recently. Healy is the only one I can think of. BTW, I agree, there are hardly any Scottish players to reach the top level, although it's been better in the last few years - McFadden, Fletcher, Hutton, Ferguson, Gordon, Brown.

Healy, Taylor, Evans, Davis, McCartney, Carroll, Johnson, Baird and Hughes are all registered with Premiership clubs. Albeit Davis is currently on loan at Rangers. Lafferty, Brunt, Capaldi, McAuley, Gillespie and Sproule are all playing for Championship clubs. Shiels and Craigan both playing in the SPL.

Charlie-Brown Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Many thanks:) There was a Keiran / Cairan playing for the U17's on Monday but he played right wing / wide right midfield....I thought Cairan Coll was reported as a left back when we signed him?....although he'd have to be a very good player to force his way ahead of left back Mikey Deland who looks a seriously good player.
