There are players in the Irish League good enough to come across. And yes Baraclough will be aware of them. The IL has four full time teams, and it will be five shortly. This means players don't have to move for a full time career. Finding bargains is the issue. Fairly recently we've had one transfer between two IL clubs of £100,000. The Linfield manager was offered the Raith job this season, but I can't think of any examples of an IL manager moving to Scotland and being overly successful. That's not to mention the League of Ireland which in my opinion is a much higher standard than the IL. Whilst manager of NI Baraclough will have watched games at a level commensurate with the NI team. Therefore he will be aware of lower league players from all parts of these islands. Something some people on here don't give him credit for. Sorry for rambling. Last night was great.
