Been mentioned on this thread since U15/16’s. Squad update | Rory Finneran receives first senior Ireland call-up 🇮🇪🤝The 18-year-old has traveled to Murcia, Spain, to link up with the squad following the withdrawal of Cardiff City defender Joel Bagan and Ipswich Town winger Kasey McAteer, who have both been ruled out… pic.twitter.com/bQwUaoQeoL— Ireland Football ⚽️🇮🇪 (@IrelandFootball) May 8, 2026
He played one minute off the bench for Blackburn in 2024 in the FA Cup 3rd round against Cambridge in 2024. Been playing for Newcastle 21s this season, jumps from Irelands U18s to the Seniors.
He's a really good player, would probably be getting regular caps in his age group had he gone with England.
Jonathan Rowe had a birthday party this week and the cake was a picture of him celebrating the U21 win which maybe shows his commitment to Engkand.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Mason Greenwood’s relationship with Marseille is COMPLETELY BROKEN now:• Training session interrupted this week after Greenwood ignored instructions• Multiple CLASHES with staff and management• Medhi Benatia and OM board reportedly "can no longer… pic.twitter.com/Jq6sdiph4w— The Touchline | 𝐓 (@TouchlineX) May 8, 2026 More on Greenwood…….sounds like the ultimate professional!
Will have to dig up some info but think Morrison is a bit of a school kid in comparison right? Can’t recall him being accused of some of the things thrown at Greenwood. Hate to say it but Greenwood has probably already had more of a career than Morrison ever had throughout his career.
Greenwoods career far surpasses Morrisons already. Morrison has about 20 appearance in top 5 leagues in his entire career, Greenwood was the top scorer Ligue 1 last season!
Abuse against his ex girlfriend and her mother and then threatened to throw acid in their face, charges were later dropped though. Lovely chap though nonetheless…
To be fair, those charges were dropped because CCTV evidence showed that he hadn't assaulted his girlfriend when she claimed he had - in fact, she'd just slumped to the ground of her own accord, after which he helped her up and drove her home. It's a bit difficult to take her word for any of the other accusations in light of that.
🚨👋🏿 Fiorentina terminate Tariq Lamptey’s contract with immediate effect after only 25 mins played at the club. pic.twitter.com/uoKNrXSS4Z— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 11, 2026 His career went downhill ever since he declared for Ghana . Seriously though, I wonder what happened to him though, I’m presuming injuries has had a role to play with him.
I remember saying on here 6 years ago that he should be our rightback. Maybe i need to learn to look ahead
He was always a bit overrated because he had an eye-catching burst of pace but his injury record is as bad as you'll see https://www.transfermarkt.com/tariq-lamptey/verletzungen/spieler/504148 981 days out injured by age 25. Hard to imagine him ever sustaining a long period of injury free form.
🇷🇺 Amir Ibragimov | 18-year-old Manchester United player receives surprise Russia call up https://t.co/0vgGw9upXg #mufc— Sport Witness (@Sport_Witness) May 12, 2026
On this, I’m told United are yet to receive any contact from the Russian FA about Amir Ibragimov.Think it could become a touch more complicated than any other international call-up if they do https://t.co/Uvn6euRbjx— Nathan Salt (@NathSalt1) May 12, 2026
I wouldn't read too much into it just yet. It's only a friendly, and an opportunity he was obviously not going to pass up.
The cap securing of young players is actually getting ridiculous though, I mean just calling up young kids who probably don’t know what they want yet being catapulted into senior International football just to get them in doesn’t really feel like it’s right somehow. If they are young and good enough then that’s one thing but kids who haven’t even played senior football yet, seems a stretch too far.
I’m not sure Man United will be keen on having a player represent Russia who are still currently banned.
