Based on his "L33T" talk i'd say he's happy at home playing World of Warcraft

It never seems to have occured to him to play for Ireland the last four age groups when he was in the England set-up, and is it seriously possible the FAI with their genealogical charts of every professional footballer in Britain didn't know he had a Irish Mum before? If he was current England under-21 capatain and he's volunteered himself for the ROI team without having his ear chewed by his senior club teammate I'd have had a little more faith but its never happened that way and likely never will, except maybe for a Northern Ireland lad because playing for them doesn't seem like such an appealing option!

Take a look at the England U-21 squad - every player in it has been playing first team football this season or at the end of last. Clark hasn't, hence his exclusion. That's the only difference between their U-20 and U-21 squads and he'd have to be a bit thick not to understand that.

The kid's taken a leap of faith at a young age to play for us - you can criticise him for it but I'll wait around and see what he has to offer.

Clark started the season in the first team and made a good fist of it too.

With Mark Noble now being touted as a possibility, and Paul Greens current presence in our first 11, along with St. Ledger, I wondered if regulars on here thought there would be value in taking a look at Matthew Connolly of QPR in a friendly, a regular starter in the meanest defence in the Championship, (4 goals conceded) and highly likely to be a Premiership player this time next year. I feel he would be worth a look at and Id be surprised if he werent at least approaced and sounded out about it.

Also, does anyone know of Lewis McGugan of Forest being eligible? Ive heard that he is, and although he had some 'lifestyle issues' a season or so ago, the Forest manager seems happy enough with him again of late, he certainly has talent.

That was his seventh of the season, he's starting to turn heads, may not be a Forest player next season if he keeps it together off the field. And I think he is eligible.

Where did you hear that he is eligible, by the way?

Have a look at the Irish Abroad thread. There is recent some info there.

Cheers. It appears he has an Irish father then. I wonder if he'd be interested in playing for us as that's quite a strong blood connection for even the purists who'd object to the likes of Mark Noble lining out for us on the basis of having an Irish grandparent.

Connolly was called into an U19 squad before, and pulled out. A few months later he played for England U19's

Yeah, I remember that, think he was at Arsenal at the time, looked like he was going to drift down the divisions for a bit but has recovered it. I'm sure the question has been asked behind the scenes and we will know soon enough. The QPR goals against column this season is very impressive and he is at the heart of it.

No it doesn't, his elligibility seems to rest on the fact he's got a Mc in his surname. Even Uefa's lax eligibility rules wouldn't allow him to play for us on that basis

UEFA don't have and don't make the eligibility rules. FIFA runs the game. Most everybody here knows that.
You are ignorant about one of the most basic fundamentals of football. Why am I not surprised?:rolleyes:

Good point, completely refutes my point as I used the wrong acronym. I have been known to refer to the Netherlands as Holland before in conversation also even though I am aware it actually only constitutes one province of the Netherlands. I think people still understand what I'm referring to though. Well spotted all the same..........

Adrock, I think the rational people will correctly suspect your motives in posting exclusively on eligibility threads and question your actual interest in football matters.
As I suspect you have little interest and knowledge of football and just like those occasional posters who have come here before, you have only the one politicised agenda.

i wouldnt be surprised if he was a NI fan posing as an Ireland fan. Thats what crossed my mind. Either way, meh - pinch of salt required.

Simon Cox scored 2 for West Brom tonight, he has expressed his interest in playing for us before. Surely worth a look given our lack of depth up front?

Yes Cox has declared for Ireland but his only starts this season for the Baggies has been in the Carling Cup. He has been on the bench quite a bit. If he breaks into the HIGH FLYING BAGGIES team (yes I am aWBA fan) then he might also do a job for Ireland.

Surely he should be looked at even if he's on the bench for WBA. Some players currently in the squad are warming the bench quite regularly....

Agreed. Andy Keogh for example is usually just a late sub for Cardiff City. Surely Cox is much better than him.

Sounds similar to the O'Hara situation. In fairness though, strikers are the one area where we don't really have any talent coming through, stokes probably being the best.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 values Keogh two and a half times higher than Cox. :bigsmile:

I thought Long did quite well in the last game against Slovakia. Arguably our man of the match.

There's plenty of options available to Trapattoni but there not to be found in the WBA reserves.

Ah, I meant new talent. We've known about Long for ages, and i don't think he's the next Robbie in fairness.

Rebel I agree. If Don Givens is working to some blueprint in terms of recruiting, I would say that the forward area is in need of work. When Robbie retires, Stokes, who is improving, becomes striker no 1. But who else is there? Robert Brady I believe is a winger playing as a striker and Arsenal websites talk quite highly of Roberts. Outside of these two prospects, it's all pretty quiet.

Aye, i notice myself taking a huge interest in Adam Rooney in the SPL hoping, and that's pretty sad really! Maybe the young Murray lad with Ipswich is something to look for but he's not getting much game time.

I thought he said he wasn't interested in playing for Ireland a few years ago or was that myth? I assume his great-grandparents must have been Irish then.

Don't think he can play for Holland either. Think he said that on Soccer Am.

Some quotes from Nolan on this (Ireland) matter in today's paper :

''I spoke to them (the FAI) and we tried to work it out but because my grandad is only half Irish and so is my dad, we we couldn't do it. Someone in the family has to be full-blown Irish, so it was put to bed then. It would have been fantastic, but there you go.''

Surely with all the crookery going on in this country that this one could easily be pulled out of the fire.:rolleyes:

I'm a bit puzzled. Surely his father must be quarter Irish?
