🎙️Ireland squad reaction 🫡 - Bosun Lawal to start next week? 👀 - Who’s in & out 🤝 - Heimir signs new deal + look at U21s squad 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/m0KRpJ2e0ak 🎧 Listen here👇🏼 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/5dF87f9xH… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/lan…

Bosun Lawal has been included in the Ireland squad while Conor Coventry has been left out, with his physicality seen as a strong fit for what Ireland need against Czechia 🇮🇪 With Cullen unavailable, it looks like Lawal could come straight into the midfield alongside Molumby and he may play a key role in the future of Ireland's midfield. He’s long been seen as a future midfield option but he could now be thrown into making his debut in a huge game for Ireland. Will he be in the starting lineup next Thursday? 🤔

On this day 9 years ago Derry City Captain Ryan McBride died at the age of 27 “Young boys grow up dreaming to move across the water to Man United or Celtic, but my dream was to play for Derry City and to captain them” He will never be forgotten❤️

Full U21 presser released tomorrow on the channel at midday.

There’s real excitement around the wide options in the U21s squad with a number of new additions coming through 🇮🇪 Jaden Umeh gets a big mention after a brilliant performance and looks like a serious option with pace and trickery while lads like Orazi, Franco Umeh, Adam Brennan and Aaron Ochoa add real depth. Umeh has been highly rated for a long time, involved at underage level and now getting his chance to step up and show what he can do at U21 level 👏

World class touch by Troy Parrott😮‍💨

An assist now for the 🦜

“Troy Parrott has done it in Prague” 👀

Troy Parrott has done it in Prague!🇮🇪 Parrott has just doubled the lead with a brilliant finish into the top left-hand corner. Hopefully the first of many in Prague over the next week. What a player, delivering when it matters most.

Bosun Lawal is back in the international fold!🇮🇪 Lawal has been named in the squad for the upcoming March internationals and could be on a collision course to start in midfield against Czechia next Thursday. When I asked Hallgrimsson about picking him over someone like Conor Coventry, who’s been playing more regularly - the reasoning was clear. Lawal’s size, physicality and overall profile are seen as a perfect fit for this specific game. Even coming off an injury, there’s a real trust in what he brings. He’s been in the setup before, even if still uncapped, and from the sounds of it, the manager is a big admirer. And it’s no surprise. Anyone who’s watched Lawal knows the level he has. Now it’s about delivering on the big stage.

RT @LRoar_Pod: The Ireland U21 squad set to take on Moldova and Kazakhstan. 🇮🇪☘️ 🆕 Jaden Umeh, Sean Patton, Adam Brennan, Aaron Ochoa Molo…

Andrew Omobamidele starts!🇮🇪

Heimir Hallgrímsson has confirmed he has extended his contract until after the Euros, committing his future to the Ireland project 🇮🇪✍️ He says the focus stays the same regardless of results with the aim to keep building and growing while feeling backed and wanted by the association. A big statement ahead of the playoffs as stability and long term planning continue for this Ireland squad Is this the right move for Ireland going forward? 🤔

Troy Parrott starts!🇮🇪

Heimir Hallgrímsson has left Conor Coventry out of the squad despite his recent run of games with Charlton which has raised a few questions 🇮🇪 Bosun Lawal gets the nod instead with his physicality seen as a better fit for what Ireland expect from the upcoming games even though he’s only just returning to full fitness. Coventry has still been involved in recent camps and could be called upon again but for now it’s a tough call that highlights the competition in midfield Should Conor Coventry have been included in the squad? 🤔

@blackrock0778 Are you high

@reptracker No Patrick Finn? you were clamouring for him to be in the last squad.

James Abankwah has been called up to the senior international squad!🇮🇪 Abankwah returns to the senior squad for the first time since March 2025 and will look to make his debut after an excellent run of form with Watford.

@reptracker Who is going to be in the u19 squad if Jaden and noonan aren’t in it

Mason Melia will remain at Spurs as he builds up his fitness.
