       Several mentions on social media pages relating to Irish sport
       also saying he had been approached

       Apparently our under 21 manager is at the Cliftonville game
       tonight, you'd imagine to watch Moore

       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.
