    I read, others want him to come back, that he would welcome being invited to come back and he just might consider the matter after that prerequisite first contact invitation has been made.

    Someone should tell him the ball is in his court with regard to contacting the FAI and letting them know he's re-available for selection.

    I disagree. He should be ignored, there is no ball, there is no court.

    Someone should tell him he's an arrogant lying bald narcissistic **** who would be best served whoring his chav self for attention elsewhere.

    Hehe, easy now. I wasn't saying anyone should select him. I just think it's a bit odd that he seems to believe it's up to the FAI to come crawling back to him again after the association went to the bother of organising fruitless meetings with him in the past.

    Take your time Stephen. Just think about it for 10 or 15 years. Just wait by the phone.

    Too many people who'd love to and deserve to never get to wear that shirt. F*** him right in his ear.

    A new poll might be in order?

    But surely, on form, he isn't worthy of a place, right? Admittedly ive only seen him play twice this season and he was very good but don't even know (or care to check) whether he is currently in the villa team or not...

    "We watch all the Ireland matches. We still totally support them, we're not like this bitter, twisted, you know . . ." she trails off, horrified at the idea that people might imagine any bad blood on their part.

    "I want people to know we're fully supportive of the whole Irish team. Like I said, we've put it in the past. We never wanted it to happen that way. We'd love to be part of that again -- love to be!" she says emphatically.
    Does she think Stephen would to like to play for his country? "Yeah," she says without hesitation. "Definitely. We'd love it."
    Does she think he believes it will happen? "I hope so. I don't know if he thinks . . . I mean there's so much politics to it. And obviously, after what happened, it's completely up to the manager. And we respect that. It's his decision. He's the one that does the team and stuff. It's up to him."

    I think she also misses the point about SI having (a) retired and (b) openly criticised Trap's arrogance. It's not up to Trap at all. Why don't interviewers press her / him on this point?

    I'd say shes right there.

    I wonder will he seem this keen to be called back into the squad after the Euros is over. I reckon deluded as he is that he still reckons there's time to force himself into the Euro squad. Its also poignant that he himself hasn't said anything on the matter. All the noise is emanating from third parties.

    She sounds fairly keen but can she do the defensive work that Trap demands from his midfielders in a 442 formation.

    From that same article, and this is one I don't remember whether it came up or not....

    Hopefully enjoying my fifth season in the first team for City and playing international football – but seeing as I can play for England, Ireland and Italy, I’m not sure who it will be for.
    Now I know things are a bit different for lads from Africa etc... but I can't think of one person who would have been born here, with full Irish parents(both of his are full right?) and who would consider playing for Italy and England.
    You'd think for someone with a 100% Irish background, it would be Ireland or nothing.... :\
    There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D

    Interview with the foreigner on Football focus tomorrow.

    If the question comes his way.........he would consider it. Going to review the situation after the euros as unlikely that he will be picked for euros.

    Seriously, this lad.....
