Is this more of your Jimmy Cricket 'Thick Paddy' Act? What is it you call it if it weren't for PC gone mad? Being 'Irish'? Cian Hughton qualifies through his grandmother.

As for the Brazilians, sorry but did these people never accept Brazilian citizenship? Were they registered at birth with the Qatari embassy as Qatari citizens by Qatari Brazilians whose own connection with Qatar extended one or two generations beyond the grandparents?

Of course. If you don't understand the statement it's 'horlicks' to you. Perhaps you should ask whether you're intelectually up to posting on any forum except the appropriately named ourweeminds.

[QUOTE=EalingGreen;

P.S. I have absolutely nothing against Cian's right to represent the ROI should he want, since it doesn't in any way affect NI.

Then why are you posting huge posts of b@llocks about it then.:D :rolleyes:

Was just reading about him playing in the Spurs reserves so I figured I bump this.

Has played for the u18s and u19s
