Declan Rice

I’m no O Neill fan, nor a fan of Keanes coaching abilities but piss off with your ridiculous relentless posting about them & trying to link them to absolutely f**king everything. 

Any link??

Crikey.....that was Brian Kerr's theory this week. He said he was gobsmacked to hear a senior international who had been capped a few times would want to change country at a moment's notice and wondered if an "incident" had occurred behind the scenes to make him want to leave.

If Keane is behind the Arter and Rice situation, he has major questions to answer.....this is really serious stuff.

Kin ell  My speculation may have been right all along

Had O Neill not already announced that?

And a grown man calling a man doing his job a big nose rat needs to take a long hard look at themselves

My first taughts were f**k off Declan, but in hindsight it is obvious that he is under massive pressure from his employer. He may also feel he needs WHU more than they need him and be fearful of upsetting them.

I also see if from WHU's point of view, and would like to think if the roles were reversed as in a LOI club had a kid in sane position who was eligible for us and such a good prospect that they would try influence the player to play for us.

Sadly I see Rice has a choice of WHU and England or Ireland and a transfer request, which nay be his best option. A move to the likes of Liverpool or Utd / City where the clubs do not particularly care (IMO) about England and only care about winning the Premiership etc would be best for Rice and us . Such clubs probably privately would prefer their players not to play inyer national football.
