Think you need to be registered on the foreign birth register rather than holding a passport but open to correction.

How was Aldridge not qualified? Think there's been differing reports as to whether it was his great grandmother or his grandmother being from Athlone but the FIFA regs were different back then. Only needed to be eligible for citizenship rather than actively holding it. He always said he was given an Irish passport back in 86 unlike some other players who traveled on British ones.

It was discussed previously. His link to Ireland has erroneously been reported as his great grandmother, however it was actually his grandmother. I'd imagine she moved over at a very young age and thus there was confusion as to whether it was her or her mother that was Irish born.

It has always been reported that he qualified through a great grandparent. If that is the case then he didn't actually qualify at all. He was later given an Irish passport, but that does not necessarily mean he was eligible for the football team, countries can give passports to whoever they want as a one off. Now, if he had an Irish born grandparent as suggested by another poster there then he would of course have qualified. But his qualification has always been described as being through a great grandparent. It does look as though, a bit like Callum Robinson, he got through the red tape without actually being qualified to play for us. Happy to stand corrected if anyone can prove otherwise though.

You can take it from the man himself that you're incorrect. Aldridge has stated he qualified through his grandmother. If Aldridge was ineligible, he would not have been allowed to continue to play for us for 10 years. FIFA don't just let you get away with continuing to field an ineligible player simply because you got away with it once.

Aldridge would have gotten an Irish passport at some stage would he not given that's how the thing with Cas emerged. (Not that it was the problem they thought it was at first)

It is actually making RJ sound a bit more far removed than he is. his mothers parent are both fully Irish and she just happened to be born abroad and they moved home. I really think this was a nonsense decision. his mother is FUlly Irish and it shouldn't have counted as a granny rule in this case

No link with us. Paternal grandfather Mick Doyle played with City and also his maternal grandfather Glyn Pardoe played with City. Both Brits and married Brits. There is no fada in his name like you stated above.

Didn't Shane Long ask him after a League Cup game earlier in the season if he was Irish and he said no

Apparently he did At the end, Shane Long came up to me and he said 'do you have any Irish in you?' Obviously, because of my last name, Doyle. To hear that from someone who's been around the game a massive time, and got a load of international caps for Ireland, it does mean something to me. |

Said it was his Grandmother on The Tommy Tiernan Show a few years ago and not the first time he's said it either. |

Please don't use the word brits. England, English. I know you Irish love that word because it gives you some kind of gratification. As an Englishman living in England., that word disgusts me

Relax. You're arguing with an internet alter ego; a caricature who doesn't, in actuality, exist.
