Great stuff.

Just one or two corrections:-

The ROI U-19s also have games against Kosovo in Vila do Conde on March 24 (15:00) and Portugal on March 27 in Barcelos at 17:00.
You can remove the Serbian U-19 matches as Bojan Goals is not in the squad.
Norway U-21s (Normann/Bjordal) also have a friendly match tomorrow in Italy (Perugia) at 17:30.
England U-17s (Tareq Shihab) play Brazil at the Pinatar Arena in Spain on March 23 (12:00) and March 26 (14:00).
The Scotland match in Hungary is in Budapest.
Northern Ireland's match against Panama is being played on MAY 29, not March 29.
England U-16s (Haydon Roberts) play their 3 Montaigu Tournament matches at Venansault in France against Russia on March 27 (17:15), Cameroon on March 29 (17:15) and Brazil on March 31 (15:00).

Rian O'Sullivan back row, second from left; Aaron Connolly front row second from right.

Slovakia have just taken the lead; 1-0 with about 25 minutes left.

By my reckoning, there will be (or have already been) nineteen different Albion players heading off for international duty at full and various age group levels this month.

And that doesn't include a further six players who have represented their country already this season and are either currently injured or not selected for this round of fixtures.

So, Albion have at least 25 current internationalists on their books.

All of which didn't look very likely at half-time at Edgar Street on the afternoon of Saturday May 3rd 1997, did it?

Crazy Albion times, folks, crazy Albion times.

I'll see your 25 and raise you eight more...

He scored in the 60th min and subbed in the 63rd min game ended 1-1 according to sky sports website.

Actually, perhaps he did. Whilst the Italian FA twitter account reported the goal as being scored by him, the Norwegian FA twitter account and website initially reported it as being scored by Morten Thorsby:-

However, the Norwegian FA website has just been updated to show Bjordal as the scorer, so who knows?

I have only seen it via the sky website, they were doing live updates, hopefully it was him that would make 2 academy players scoring international goals in two days. Good signs for the academy I think.
