The FAI has announced that Pat Devlin has joined Stephen Staunton's team as 'B' International Team Manager and eircom League co-ordinator. Commenting on the appointment, Senior International Manager Staunton said that when he took the manager’s job he recognised that the potential in the eircom League could be explored and players given further opportunity to make it to senior international level. He said that Devlin will monitor the eircom League and report on potential International players. “Pat will report on talent in the eircom League and through the re-instatement of the “B” Internationals, provide a development opportunity for home based players”, he said. “The “B” Internationals can also provide a focal point for players over the age of 21 who have yet to graduate to full Senior level”, he added.

Staunton said he wants to create a strong link between the eircom League and the Senior International set up. “We’re trying to build a club ethos around the International set up and that takes time but creating stronger links between the under-age teams managed by Vincent Butler, Sean McCaffrey and Don Givens helps and in a similar way getting closer ties with the eircom League should contribute positively to what we’re trying to achieve”, he added.

Devlin said he was delighted to be part of Staunton’s management team. “The development of home based players is very much part of Stephen’s long-term plan and I’m looking forward to joining the team and contributing to that plan”, said Devlin. “We hope that with more focus on the League we can provide more opportunities for home based players to come through to senior international level”, he added.

What do people think? Perhaps this could lead to the Eircom league recognition at international level that some people on here have been calling for.

I think the 'B' International games are a good idea and its great to see them back,who are they going to play as most "B" teams have disappeared.
