It's my view that all current and former Irish internationals should remain in the Ireland forum, it just makes more sense to me as they're a part of our history, whether we like it or not. If Rice is to be discussed on foot.ie in the future, it'll either be in the written or unwritten context of him being a former Irish international. I don't think anybody is going to be discussing his English or club credentials in isolation, the way one might with Gerrard or Lampard, who obviously belong in World Football.

Plus it reeks of "Betray us and you'll be banished to the cobwebs of World Football".

:D

I do get this point of view as well. We got over Grealish though and we'll get over this. Would anybody really care if the Grealish thread was in page 42 of the Ireland forum instead of World Football? There might be some interview with him at some point where he discusses the whole thing, or whatever, that would be of more interest in here than over there.

That's what I did with Grealish's thread, and people complained it shouldn't have been moved, which is why I said I'd let the discussion on the thread die and then move it

Look again at that list. Really close.

I know they're retired, if that's what you're saying. My point was that there's a place in the Ireland forum for former Irish internationals. Rice is a former Irish international.

There is no reason as far as I can see.

It's not like Stephen Ireland for example. I often wonder why people bother updating his thread as his career, since his effective retirement from international football, has had no practical relevance to the national team. However...he did play competitive games for us and doesn't play for another national side.

I don't know if any of them were ever on it but, either way, I'm not sure what that proves. Anyway, I'm really not as fussed as I might appear about what happens to the Rice thread, and I've explained my thinking.

Not a fan of this thread being here either. He really has spit on the Irish shirt by doing what he did. In any case, what he does in the future no longer concerns us. Get rid.

Man of the match tonight, presented to him by Mark Noble.

Given MOM by SKY as a gesture to say that 'Declan you are one of us now and made the right choice' sort of rubbish. I don't know why this thread hasn't been moved yet.

I'd agree with about three of those letters...
