Our only Rugby Leaguer of note...
"our"?
Quote:
I want to return home so I can go back to the UK to finish my Masters and to reunite with my family
Born in Ireland, raised in Ireland, lived here until he was 21. Now settled abroad. Definitely "our" rugby leaguer. Unless you think differently?
Well, i am just quoting what he said, i want to go home to THE UK, to MY FAMILY, infering is family is from the uk, playing for a team called Great Britain, that dropped the Irish and Ireland part from their name.... I am buying a flat over here, but If i go to america or australia, I am never going to call "home" the UK!!!! Nor would most people who consider themselves "Our only"....
The UK is home for him, what don't you understand?
he is british.
How is he?
Oh and another thing, were does he mention the UK? Only thing he mentions is home. The aussie media say the UK. He makes a point in saying he's not going back to Great Britain to play rugby. If he's going home to finish his education, it'd be safe enough to say he's coming back to Ireland, where he earned his primary degree...

If I'm on holiday, I don't say 'I'm going back home to my family in Ireland', when I infact live in Wales.Not hard to understand
You're wrong Soper. As usual. Ask paul...

They have 4 crests on the jersey a (shamrock for Ireland), I know thats sounds really wrong.
Look, horses for courses MAYBE, but even plastics over here say home as in ireland. Unless of course you are trying to make the distinction like "home-home" or "out-out" :D
no it is, if you say your home is in the UK and your family are from the UK, what does that mean to you?Quote:

Ireland is no longer part of the UK, just to let you know.
He isn't usually wrong Dodge.Quote:

He probably has wife and kids in UK so why wouldnt he say he is going home to UK.
What about this lad:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Joyce
ya cricket fella, there is another "irish" lad doing the same. well if you consider south dublin, ireland.
I'm confused:confused: Now that Carney's not playing rugby anymore should he ask his family to wrap a green flag around themselves and move to Éire so someone doesn't come around and take his Irish citizenship away from him?Quote:

we all know south dublin is just another "shire" and wicklow now fits into "south county dublin" :PQuote:

We all know the K-Club is in Dublin, remember the Ryder Cup, the commentators always saying, ''here in Dublin''.
Proper order too - just like Drogheda should be proud of it's location within the Pale. All hail the Greater Dublin megalopolis!Quote:

paul, the so bit could mean that he wants to come home to ireland to reunite with his family, and because we are closer to the uk, its easier for him to finish his study. then again maybe his family is some odd 'lets forget we are irish' church congregating in wigan.Quote:
