Hold on, Morrison took his own sweet time answering Ireland's call, he gave Sven every chance to call him up - it was very clear he was waiting on an England call up. How soon we forget ;)

I'm not for this get anyone who once had a Boyzone/Westlife/Bewitched album meself as it makes a bit of a mockery of our team (and nation). Only lads that have always felt they are Irish (Kilbane and Breen) should be considered.

I'm happy to be corrected on this if im wrong, but didn't Houghton turn down the Sweaty's to play for us?
Personally i'd rather have 'not real Irish but good pros' like Ray, Townsend and Cascarino then proper Irish lads, if the proper Irish are non-tryer Bentley Boys like Carr, Kennedy and (dare I say it) captain Robbie
