also saying he had been approached

According to the BBC although I wasn't 100% sure myself. Moore
has just scored as well

fair enough comments from McLaughlin who is his club manager and
has a duty of care to to protect his player.
But the blame lies with the FAI for trying to tap him up in the
1st place (if they actually are and its not just paper talk -
obviously then the journo is at fault). At present Moore is
legitimately playing for N.I - it would be good if McLaughlin
called those out who are responsibile for this 'noise' in the
1st place, be it the FAI or the media.
Also, when he has a go at the 'coaches who have worked with him'
"Going by reports he's had so many coaches all playing a part in
his development, fair play to them as Sean must be nearly 30
given how may coaches have worked with him
is this a subtle dig at Ger Lyttle for his BBC article on Moore?
Cos its the only comment I've read on Moore from any other coach
who has worked with him apart from McLaughlin

I interpreted it as a dig at Lyttle as well. Lyttle was open
about not picking Moore in a previous squad when he was playing
as a left-back. I've seen a few comments along the lines of "how
did NI sleep on him until recently" and the answer is probably
fairly mundane - he wasn't this good until recently.

Seen those comments myself (mainly from Cliftonville fans).
Lyttle outlined in the BBC article why he didn't pick him before
and as hughes18 has said it wasn't part of any great conspiracy
theory - he just wasn't ready in the eyes of the people who were
monitoring him. I would be a lot more worried if they hadn't
been monitoring him in the 1st place and had no idea who he
was!! It's now solved as he's in the U18 squad and now FAI are
apparently tapping him up - can't see what more the IFA/Lyttle
could have done - but select a player when you don't feel he's
ready, in the off-chance he might turn out good and be tapped up
by another country.
