6 months with no progression at club level (for whatever reason) could set you back a year or 2 for International recognition ....add in the fact he's found himself at a club in a mediocre state on the field would be another 2 or more years..........my gut feeling says Ireland are a poor 2nd choice for Hogan |

Some appalling attitudes on display here.
The only reason this lad hasn't declared before now is because after serious knee injuries he wanted to make sure he got himself right for the club. Screw that up then he screws his entire career up. He has bust his bollocks to get where he has. Only 4 years ago at the age of 21 was he playing non league football in Lancashire. Anyone who says otherwise is talking through their hole and doing our latest player a major disservice. It's actually insulting. Edited by colemanY2K - 17 Aug 2017 at 9:49pm |

I suppose in fairness people are entitled to have some suspicion about Hogan as it was going on awhile but posters on ybig rushing to judgment isn't anything new either. Bottom line is, we haven't a notion of what's going on as we're not involved but if the Irish manager who is involved, is happy enough with Hogan's intentions and declaring for us, then anything else is irrelevant. O'Neill doesn't take any sh*te so I doubt he'd entertain Hogan if Hogan was acting the maggot.

The very one's giving out about Hogan would be whinging if they saw Anthony Stokes or Connor Sammon lining up against Wales in October.
In case many people haven't noticed, we have always been a fall back option for English born players yet if a player is good enough to tog out for Ireland when selected then isn't it obvious he wants to be there? |

Exactly. And when you see how successful it has proved bringing in British born players during Jack's time, it's a no-brainer that Hogan coming in is a good thing. If he falls by the wayside and adds nothing to us, the we're in the same position we are now and won't lose anything and if he adds something, then we'll gain out of it. There's no downside unless he comes in with a bad attitude which I doubt he would anyway.

The fact of the matter is the only people saying he was holding out for England are posters on here and they seem to do so simply because he's eligible to play for England
All this lad was concerned about in the run up to his decision this summer was trying to remain fit in order to cement his place as a professional footballer. Now he has been able to do so he's able to look a bit further ahead. Last September he said in relation to being linked to Ireland... remember he was just after returning from two serious injuries. “I know we don't go back on it but I have been out injured but it's important to be playing as many games for Brentford at the moment. “International honours is a big thing but there's only one place I want to play my football at the minute and that is here. “They look after me, monitor my fitness and everything. Due to that I've played every minute this season which is some going after what's happened.” The lad deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt. http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/brentford-striker-scott-hogan-plays-11904368 Edited by colemanY2K - 18 Aug 2017 at 7:41am |

Are we Ireland supporters??? Who cares if England was his 1st choice...it probably was since he grew up in England. He has now chosen Ireland and it is in a position we badly need. Remember Andy Townsend grew up supporting England...he even said he was so upset about Ireland beating England in 1988 that he cried!! He then became our captain.
If Hogan scores the goal that qualifies us for the World Cup will people not be happy because he MAYBE wanted to play for England first?? Best supporters in the world me hole

Sure he's not in the squad. Can he be called into the provisional squad before the final 23 is named? |

Yes he can. I believe MON expressly left that possibility open when asked about it. Has happened many times before.
