That’s despite the English-born duo both featuring for Irish youth sides,FIFA rules at the time stipulated that players can still change international allegiances after playing three or fewer non-competitive games, which proved to be the case asO’Neill joined White and Jordan on talkSPORT to discuss a number of topics, and one disgruntled Irish listener was disappointed he didn’t manageHe explained: “First of all, you can’t coerce players into becoming international players, he played in three...
“That was never going to be the case, you can’t deceive people into playing these games, you cannot force them into that.
“But then when you have to make a decision, that decision was made by Jack Grealish and his father, his father’s also English too, you might go back to heritage as well, but that’s what they wanted to do, and I’m not going to disavow them of that.” “The players know the rules and the players’ dads know the rules, it couldn’t be more simple, so this idea of taking criticism for not coercing two players who are now playing for England.“I wouldn’t possibly have done it, and Declan Rice would have been aware of it so he wouldn’t have done it.
The Irish under age should be to develop Irish players for the first team not any other nation. Two young Irish players lost out on years of development here because of these two
Haha the hate they wanted to play and win but sit at home during big competitions it’s a no brainier tbh
O’N handled it well, a player should not play a friendly though if not sure, denying someone genuine an international appearance
Should not Sterling be playing for Jamaica john Barnes there is countless other players out playing for countries there not born in and plenty more born in countries and playing its always a English thing blindfolded again just remember ye only had a cricket captain from EIRE
FIFA should make clear rules on player international team selection. This thing of choosing with your heart favours big teams only. Small teams end up getting rejects from top countries. An there should be no way to turn back for the late bloomers like Declan Rice
Proper manager Martin O’Neill who makes sense, we’re both born in England both new the only way they would ever go far international level is under England and he as a man would never stop that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why play rice in the friendlys so
I'm not sure why they would play for Ireland at all if they were never going to play competitively. What does that say to the players who want to play for Ireland?
Makes total sense.
They quite literally didn’t playing competitive games as this would’ve meant they would be confirmed as Ireland players. They have only ever played competitive football for England.
And me too. Actually I could have never called them if I was the manager.
