    Canavan played for the U21s, Staunton the U18s and then Paudie who is presumably as Irish as a Guinness drinking leprechaun. Cousin Dawson you can make up your own mind on, I’m not going there.

    Kelleher Irish too!!! I didnt actually include the two kids as one is playing CM and the other RB.

    We have a thing for Irish CBs it seems.

    I didn't realise Canavan had played for Ireland u21s or was even eligible. I'd just read he was born around here when we signed him.

    Born in Bramley and lived in England all his life. He's as Irish as Tony Cascarino.

    Except Cascarino had Irish grandparents and a British passport. Only recognised as Irish through his football allegiance.

    Canavan is quite the opposite as legally recognised as Irish. Quite different I think youd agree!

    Cascarino never had Irish grandparents .
    In his own autobiography he tells of the discovery that whom he thought was his paternal Irish grandfather was not actually his mothers Father (Hope you get that ).
    He was in fact turned down for an Irish passport very early on in his International career, after a handful of caps, but somehow carried on playing for them.

    Calm down Sergio, It was just a joke.

    If you read Cascarinos book it explains that he wasn't actually eligible for Ireland and shouldn't have won all the caps.

    The magic of Jack Charlton.
    "Tony, you ever been to Dublin"
    - No Jack
    "Ok you ever drunk draught Guinness"
    - No Jack
    "Ok ever had Irish Stew"
    - No Jack
    "Ever worn Green"
    Yes Jack

    "Great, your starting upfront on Tuesday"

    Jack Charlton saw him drinking Guiness. That was good enough for him.

    Only a half mind, and only after he had picked him thinking with an Italian name he must be Irish

    Soooo…. Do we expect our backup striker to be a loan? 6 month loan deal and hold some money back for January-not in a Stuart way of ignore the squad now but more a kick on and secure promotion type manner.
    Wouldn’t mind a loan full back who can cover both sides who’s got some league experience and hopefully shift Evans and another midfielder-again could be a loan with some experience

    Having checked very few loans so far. Assume it’s the case of waiting for squads to be announced.
    Tranmere’s signings look very positive-I’d imagine they’ll be challenging for the top
