If it comes out the fanny it is eligible for us, if it comes out the arse it is eligible for both the north and England.

James Murphy of LAFC, Luke Williams of S****horpe, and Jack Kiersey of Everton are all eligible.
*Not eligible anymore but still interesting, Gibraltar international Jamie Bosio was born in Dublin.

Interesting. There is actually a Gibraltar international who shares the same name...

Dylan Fox, Scott Galloway, and Connor Pain* who play in the A-League are all eligible too.
As are Matthew Roberts of Swansea and Matthew Kennedy of Cardiff. *Pain has one cap for Australia, but it was not in a FIFA recognised competition as far as I can tell. |

As much of a popular story as it is, it's disappointing to see 31 yo Bohs goalie, Shane Supple, called up for us, when the likes of young Peacock O'Farrell (first team Leeds keeper) and Conor Hazard (young Falkirk keeper on loan from Celtic) bought being called up by the Nordies.
As we've repeatedly seen, NI has no problem calling up players who have been capped by us. We should be more aggressive in seeing if promising young players like those two 'keepers are interested in representing us. Either or both of those players could end up being international class. Unfortunately Shane Supple is unlikely to.

Shayne Lavery, young striker in the Norn Iron squad, would be another worth actively looking in to.
Would be a shame to lose players like that, as it seems we've now lost Paul Smyth, if there was any genuine interest in playing for us.

Yeah, basically doing what Wales do.
Tempting these lads with international football and capping them at senior level, frequently before they've made a senior club experience. I think Wales have about three or four lads in their current squad who haven't played senior for their club. Pity we didn't do the same with Harry Kane, Michael Keane, Jack Grealish, Ethan Ampadu etc.

Yeah I can see they have called up all the young Catholic players that look like they could have decent futures like Smyth, Hazaard, Whyte and Lavery all the while feeding Martin some bullsh*t that he has a gentlemans agreement with him which only works one way. Absoloutle joke if Martin sticks to this after this weeks events.

Personally, I think MON has been a very good manager for us (I know that's not a popular view on here).
However, unlike Wales, NI, England, the US, even Scotland, we've left way too many players slip through our fingers. We're not building for the future as well as we should be. Our national team will continue to suffer for years to come as a result.

Caps are to be earned, not just handed out to anybody to tie them down.

There is a long list of players we've lost where there was no attempt by the senior set-up to get them into the fold at an early stage, even in a developmental capacity, at senior level.
[[Amongst the many examples would be Michael Keane (no senior interest in him, but clearly the English seniors had a word, even when he was predominantly a reserve player at Utd), Grealish (no effort made when he was tearing up trees at Notts County - effort only made at senior level when he came to national prominence; too little, too late) and Ethan Ampadu (no evidence of any senior or even U21 attempt here, despite his Dad playing for Belvo and our U21s), or James Maddison, seemingly never contacted, now happily ensconced in England U21s.]]
We should have room for these young players in the senior squad, even unofficially or in a developmental capacity. The US, England, Wales, Scotland, Norn Iron do this, we used to sometimes do it, and, at least learning from lessons have done it with Rice who was called up in a developmental capacity to the Fota Island camp over a year ago, despite at the time having very little PL experience. But you don't get the impression that Martin or Roy are calling around to these players and expressing an interest in them. Whereas Chris Coleman did and Michael O'Neill does, and the results are obvious. You can bet that if Grealish, Maddison or Michael Keane had any Welsh links, they'd be capped for them, because the senior team would have shown an interest when it was an attractive option. We, on the other hand, wait without showing senior interest, and they get snapped up by England/Wales/US/Scotland, even NI! No one is saying they don't need to earn their stripes. Lawrenson, Townsend, Holland and a long list of other players would most probably have played for England before us, given the chance. However, once they were brought into the fold, their effort and commitment could never be questioned. These players could be the difference between qualifying for tournaments and not. It's no coincidence that our best teams over the years (particularly, 88, 90 and 94, with the possible exception of 2002) have had lots of dual-nationality players. But sure better to include a 31 yo from Millwall or Bohs who's not got any hope of appearing in a competitive international for us. Anyway, this argument's been had many times before here... |
