The Football Association of Ireland has confirmed a new full-time international coaching structure that will strengthen the development & level of support provided across Ireland’s underage international pathway 🇮🇪⚽️
The innovative model will see five full-time International Lead Coaches - Noel Hunt, Chelsea Noonan, John Cotter, Keith O’Halloran & James Scott - working alongside four full-time International Coaches - Conor McCormack, Graham Gartland, Mark Connors & Richie Smith - across all teams, from Under-15 up to Under-19 level
The structure has been designed to transition away from a traditional age-group model and instead create a more connected coaching team working across development phases, supporting player development & ensuring greater alignment throughout the pathway ☘️
“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this and that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines”
I served in Afghanistan. I saw first hand the sacrifices made by British soldiers I served alongside in Sangin where we suffered horrific casualties, as did the US Marines the following year.
I don’t believe US military personnel share the view of President Trump; his words do them a disservice as our closest military allies.
It’s sad to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our NATO partners, held so cheaply by the President of the United States.
A sobering article indeed. Putin must be overjoyed that Trump is alienating NATO and trying to split the West.
It will certainly backfire and will create a future where Europe becomes less dependent on the USA. A good thing.

Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”
Got a few incredible days with our Imagine Dragons family here in Amsterdam — And no words big enough for the gratitude and pride I felt in this moment at the Arena... @Imaginedragons#amsterdam
