The only way Lewis could be more woke as a Black Muslim NI player is if his given names were Jamal Padraig Piaras 😀Quote:

Looks promising for such a young player.
Josh Martin (18) has 2 for Norwich in first half of a preseason friendly.

Saka is tipped to join Canaries stars Max Aarons, Ben Godfrey and Todd Cantwell in the England U21 set-up soon but international recognition is yet to arrive for Martin - who has options.
“I was in a training camp once but not anything recently,” he said of his England youth hopes.
“I’m not 100 percent sure but Republic of Ireland, Portugal I think and England. (Portugal) is on my dad’s side, I’d have to speak to him about that.
“One-hundred percent international is something I look towards and is something I really want to do but it’s not something that plays on my mind too much.
“For me it’s just play as well as I can at the club and I’m sure if I’m doing well in the first team then I’ll get some international recognition.”
i read somewhere that Paul McGrath said that it may be a chance for Jacko Grealish
Did u? !

And I saw the Grealish point on YBIG. So the poster is clearly coming across to take the absolute p*ss.
He’s a sap. Get him out of here
Sorry but i just brought information that i thought might be useful about the eligibility.
Perdón a todos muchachos. Ya aclaré las cosas les pido perdón a todos estimados compañeros, el fútbol es pasión.
Y que hariamos sin la pasión de este juego hermoso en nuestros corazones?.
Yo soy argentino y he sido hincha de Irlanda desde la época de Brady en Inter año 85 cuando jugaba Maradona en el calcio con Napoli.
A veces la pasión nos juega una mala pasada. Mil disculpas a todos. Best regards.
by the way, my name is javier François i am a professor and a journalist. I am from Argentina, it is not a joke. I have been reading this forum for the last 8 years or so.
Probably better for everyone if ya just go back to reading it ~ ~ Cheerio !Quote:

The whole thing is so obviously implausible, and his writing full of tells, someone calls him out as being from say, Templeogue (good shout). And it continues on and on and on, like some kinds of deeply unfunny and tiresome skit...
You see Sean, thats not the answer from an irishman your anwer is very elitist. My country was built by some proud irishmen and irishwomen one of them my granny.Quote:

Mark Sykes has asked not to be named in the NI squad this week because he wants to switch allegiance to the good guys.
23 years old so a Nations League cap would still tie him to the North under the new rules.
Looks like a slightly later developer, in fairness given his career trajectory until recently it would have been difficult for him to justify switching to us before now, however coming off a big season with Oxford and with his career on the up he has seemingly decided to go for it - fair play to him.

Fair play to him is right, backing himself.

This is the first lad that has switched to us in a while. There definitely have been very few from Belfast of late. Were the Hale brothers the last to do so? Paul Smyth appeared to have been considering his options.
Y'know, it might be just a co-incidence but Michael not being there to talk someone like Sykes around could have had an impact.
im tired too. anyone can call me to. im telling the truth i talk about facts because people here call me an impostor a fake. I ve been following Ireland since Liam Brady for Inter when Maradona was at NapolesQuote:

I think there was definitely an O'Neill factor to it alright. Both in terms of NI's period of relative success on the field (actually qualifying for something) and the fact that having O'Neill at the centre of it all probably made playing for the team more palatable from a nationalist point of view if we're being honest.
Then again, I always think these things are a win for both sides, if he genuinely would rather play for us I'd imagine most NI fans would prefer if he didn't play for them anyway and it certainly doesn't seem like there's been any agent or media pressure on him to make the switch, so quite different to the Declan Rice situation.
Sorry to lower the tone but with a name like that is he the first person from the unionist community to swap sides? Who knows
I did a bit of research. Looks as though he went to school at St. Mary's, a Christian Brothers' school in West Belfast.
Rice crispy so
The hypocritical meltdown here in the north is in full swing.
Names aren't everything in NI - a huge amount of crossover between the communities over the years. Players with names like Gibson, Wilson etc playing for us on one side, Healy and Lafferty on the other. I would be amazed if a NI player from a fully unionist background ever switched to us.Quote:
