You're quite happy to publicly spout these cynical claims against a young kid's character with zero evidence, and then you've got the brass to take the high ground about your "strict moral guidelines". Pffff yeah right I spouted about a strict moral upbringing in answer to a scenario I was given I will be more than happy to be proved wrong about the persuit of financial gain Maybe you could help with a list of professional footballers who have chosen to put football before money Well your strict moral upbringing seems to have bought you a lot of happiness in your life,so you can at least console yourself knowing what misery these multi millionaires have inflicted upon themselves.

My personal happiness is neither here nor there As a qoute by Kevin killbane this morning if he was such a proud Englishman why choose to play for Ireland in the first place You and others may have a higher regard or more faith in the modern footballer than me I personally believe the modern game boarders on the obscene awash with money And is not the game I fell in love with

As an Irishman this is terrible news as I had watched him play at all levels for us and realised that he was a bit special.Professional footballers can do and indeed do do whatever suits them I just wished he hadn't dragged out a decision he had probably made two years ago for so long.

He had to make sure England wanted him before burning his bridges. Presumably, if he was not picked for England, he could still play for Eire?

Obviously you can tell me to mind my own business, but I've got to ask two questions about what you've said here... Are you not divorced? Are you saying you haven't put your cock in the holiest of holies for more than 20 years? To be honest I probably shouldn’t of posted what I did I was having one of my more difficult days Leagly I am divorced and brought my four sons up on my own As far as I am concerned I stood up in front of god and said my vows and I will stick by them Maybe I am nothing short of a idiot but hey ho you have to believe in something Fair play to you mate. And I apologise, for seemingly trying to trivialize your beliefs. Have a good day.

www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/ireland-in-no-position-to-raise-a-hue-and-cry-over-rice-s-call-1.3793003Comfortably more than half the squad he took to Italy for the World Cup in 1990 were born in Britain and the notion that every one of them would have played for Ireland if somebody else had asked first seems, well, a little fanciful.
Andy Townsend, famously, cheered England on against Ireland when the two sides met in 1988 then played against the country of his birth in the rematch two years later. And a year after scoring in Stuttgart, Ray Houghton said he still didn’t feel “the slightest bit Irish”. Some others clearly did but in all honesty few fans seemed to care all that much while the party was in full swing.

Another example of the me me attitude of the modern football He made his choice and chose the republic he should be made to stand by that choice The fact he is a good footballer is nothing to do with it This isn't a modern thing, Alfredo di Stefano played for 3 different nations.....

Ireland have played the game taking all comers no matter where they were born. Tony Cascarino played despite having no Irish relatives and they've taken Northern Irish players who've played u21.
Tough shit.

Should he? He's just turned 20. Did you know what you wanted to do with your life at 20? He'll have agents and representatives from both FA's not to mention family blowing in his ear. So at 20 you've been out with this girl a couple of times, she's nice enough homely girl and you actually quite like her - but you're not engaged and she's not up the duff or anything - and then suddenly this super model rocks up in your life and says she really, really fancies you and knows you'll upset your current girlfriend by leaving her but she'd really really like to go round the world with you. What would you do? Fuck them both, hopefully both at the same time🤗

I also believe that in an increasingly multicultural world nationality and nationalism is anything but binary anymore but also has potential to create far bigger problems than who some 20 year old chooses to kick a bag of wind for. As you said earlier - maybe you were having a bad day yesterday - we all do - but when that happens to me I usually make it a day to give social media a wide berth - otherwise it typically only serves to make me feel worse. That and perhaps leave passing judgement on the motives of an individual to your God. Afterall - that's his job.

Rules need changing,you can only play for the country you were born in. If your Mother drops you in New York whilst on holiday,tough titty,USA it is then Laddie. Raheem Sterling, Owen Hargreaves, John Barnes, Terry Butcher etc. As for so called Team GB in the Olympics. The list is huge

What would you do? Iwould stop with my current girlfriend As I was brought up with strict moral guidelines In case you assume I’m answering a hypothetical question My ex wife walked out on me and my four sons over twenty years ago I have not touched another woman since and will not contemplate doing so until she is dead as I stand by my marriage vows before god WOW. Fair play to you, that's some principles! My missus did one on me and my year old boy, but after 12 months I had a right forearm like Lou Ferringo so decided I'd give it another wirl

He'll regret it when he ends up an also ran with England which is highly likely. You make your bed and you lie in it. Doesn't matter how young you are and he's old enough anyway. Dubious character in my opinion.

There is no evidence whatsoever he’s doing it for money I didn't say he has done it for money. I just believe in the principle of making a decision and sticking to it when that decision has resulted in serious investment in you. He has used Ireland and when the better option came along he's dropped them like they're hot. In my personal opinion that shows a serious character flaw.

Players are allowed to change their minds based on the current rules but when there has been such an investment in time and money from under 16 level through to the senior team it leaves a sour taste. Maybe there should be a compensation fee applicable to the FA in question, similar to in club football..... They should apply the loan rule as well..
