I always thought Simon Geoghegan sounded and looked like the archetypal British toff, but then that's Rugby so maybe more appropriate

I didn't see any of the game myself, I just saw this elsewhere.

Bamford should get a couple of game ban for that.

We've recruited worse than him & are picking worse than him, in Keane and O'Brien.

Also, I think lukas jutkiewitz would be a decent addition.

Jutkiewitz has never been able to prove his eligibility, despite trying, so he’s a non-starter. 

No word on grant, but you’d have to assume the FAI has enquired.

 

Even if he's not sure if she was born there, the fact he refers to her as "Irish" suggests her residence her would have been long enough to naturalise her, and thus entitle him to citizenship. In any case, that's not my concern; I'm simply wondering if there's ever been anything official that he can't prove his eligibility, or if it's just idle speculation.
This is the idle speculation speculation thread is it not? Suggesting any footballer in the world is not Irish qualified could be considered idle speculation if there is not definitive proof they aren't but circumstantial evidence would suggest the vast majority of them are not. Won't stop most of their names coming up in this thread sooner or later though.

I've no issue with idle speculation, I'd just like to see it acknowledged as such rather than passed off as fact, if that is indeed what it is. 

On an aside,  you really need to calm yourself. You seem to take everything as an attack when all I'm doing is posing a fairly simple question; has there ever been any formal acknowledgement of Jutkiewicz inability to prove his eligibility or not? That should be a rudimentary yes or no answer, but as per usual you've taken it as an opportunity to launch into a rambling rant against me.
We're decent enough..

Given that we have needed another target man since Murphy retired and he has gone through a few periods of form since then, I think it is fair to assume that he would have been in the picture had he been able to prove eligibility.

I’d say that’s the biggest reason there hasn’t been an official press release from the FAI on his lack of prove-able eligibility

No word on grant, but you’d have to assume the FAI has enquired.

Where has that rumour even come from? I've seen it repeated a few times, bit it's never been stated anywhere officially AFAIK. It seems to be a case one non-source fuelling others.
jutkiewitz has an Irish grandmother. He spoke about it


I know he does, I mean where has the rumour that he can't substantiate he Irish connection come from. I've never seen those words uttered by either Jutkiewicz or the FAI.

Took a look for the source there, but can’t find anything. I definitely heard it from an FAI bod on Twitter (maybe Mark Scanlon?) so I’ll look for the tweet when I’m logged in. 

That quote from Jutkiewicz would certainly indicate that he’s not 100% sure if the connection is legitimate re: his grandmothers place of birth. If the player himself can’t be sure, then there is little for the FAI to go on. 

Even if he's not sure if she was born there, the fact he refers to her as "Irish" suggests her residence her would have been long enough to naturalise her, and thus entitle him to citizenship.

If Granny Jutkiewicz wasn't born in Ireland (which he doesn't even know or seem that bothered about) then he's not eligible if she was his only link to us. The lack of certainty on his part, combined with the fact that the FAI have been all over other mediocre Championship granny rulers in his position but he's never mentioned would suggest a degree of doubt as to whether he could actually play for us or not. At least to those of us able to interpret facts with any amount of objectivity.

So in other words, you're speculating? Thanks for clearing that up.
