Kenny is not going to have much time for these chancers. You either want to play or you don't.
Considering Smallbone has come though the ranks under Kenny, I'd be surprised if jumped ship. |

Think it was more O’Brien and Mohan. Don’t think he’s played for kenn yet. I think and hope your right on the first point.

I think if the u21s were playing tomorrow he'd start. Looks a very good player from what little I've seen of him.
I'd chance that smallbone, molumby, knight, parrot, connolly, obafemi and collins are the players most likely to see some/further senior caps.

I just checked there and he hasn't played for the 21's. I thought he did. |

He wants to play for us.
And as Stephen Kenny this week at last has the opportunity to scout out talent for the senior Ireland squad which he will select in September, Smallbone says his hopes are to follow club-mates Shane Long and Michael Obafemi into the senior Irish squad. "It's a massive dream of mine to go on and become a full international. To have people like Michael and Shane in the team who have both played for Ireland is really helpful," Smallbone told the Southampton Daily Echo. |

This is excellent to see. Smallbone has great potential and he could not be at a better club in terms of development and getting his chance. The NL could be a great opportunity for him if all goes well.

That's what I took from it too. He didn't say that it was a dream of his to play for Ireland. He said it was a dream of his to play international football. I really hopes he sticks with us, but until he's tied to us I won't be getting too excited. |

Its the truth of it, what you took from it. Very simple to say any combination of the following - I want to play for Ireland / only for Ireland internationally / dreamed of playing for Ireland / I am Irish / I feel Irish But he didn't and that was no accident. Anyone not hearing alarm bells on reading this has a short memory or is a fool. |

To be fair Paulie us lads are far too long in the tooth to be getting excited by anything that doesnt involve getting up out of a chair without making a noise and of course the pubs reopening

The paranoia is real
After that line, he didn't mention Nathan Redmond or Ryan Bertrand, he mentioned Long and Obafemi. The obvious implication being that he's discussing Ireland. Its normal speech to say "I want to play international football" and expect that the context makes it obvious who you're talking about. Your childlike desire for explicit confirmation is heartwarming though. Perhaps he should start referring to himself as "Irish" Will Smallbone, the "Irish" footballer, who plays in "Irelands" midfield, etc |

Like Rice mentioned Randolph when he was in the chose your words carefully phase you mean ? :) paranoia is justified, until a ref blows to start a game for points with him on the field.

No, paranoia is not "justified", it's chosen. The excessive scepticism really is ridiculous when you think about it, what percentage of underage players who line out for us actually end up defecting? 5% perhaps? Simply assuming that everyone is Rice or Grealish has no more basis than assuming everyone is Kilbane or McGeady. You can only take each case on it's own merits, and the merits of this case are that Smallbone has indicated he wants to play international football (citing his two Irish international teammates as examples), and has made absolutely no indication that he wants to play for England.
