Doyle Misses Out On Record

The Royals striker iwas just one goal away from becoming Ireland Under 21's all-time goalscorer and Givens has confirmed that he will not be picked for Under 21 duty again as he intends to field players born after 1983 for future games.

"Unfortunately for Kevin I had to speak to him and tell him that those lads born in 1983, of which he's one, are finished now in terms of the under 21s," Givens told the official Reading website.

"We have two qualifiers coming up but unfortunately we're not going to qualify and I have to look forward.

"I know Kevin is only a goal away from the record but unfortunately he's not going to get there."
