    Unless under Maltese citizenship laws, having a Maltese great grandparent means you are automatically entitled to Maltese citizenship from birth?

    In the same way as someone born in NI is automatically entitled to Irish citizenship at birth, and so entitled to represent ROI? I mean, aiui such a NI-born person could have exclusively overseas ancestry going back generations and still quailfy for you.

    Meaning that it is citizenship which qualifies young Carragher to represent Malta, not ancestry (though citizenship happens to come from that ancestor)?

    Not at all sure about this, mind.

    I'd say the most likely scenario so is that it's a typo in the article. Either that or because of Malta's shady citizenship laws it's gone unnoticed somehow.

    The FAI have been in touch with Paul Nebel again, but I don't see it happening. He's currently with the German team at the U21 European Championships

    How do you go about translating a web page like that ?

    The positives:


    "...dann muss man sich auch Gedanken machen, weil auch Irland in meinem Herzen ist."
    "I have to think about it, because Ireland is also in my heart."

    "Meine Oma kommt aus Irland, meine Mutter ist Halb-Irin, ich war als Kind dort sehr oft"
    "My grandmother is from Ireland, my mother is half-Irish, and I visited there a lot as a child,"

    "Irland ist schon ein bisschen zweite Heimat für mich, deswegen mag ich das Land."
    "Ireland is a bit of a second homeland to me, which is why I like the country."


    Heimat is a nice word, it implies a sense of belonging and cultural identity and emotional connection to a place.

    He basically says that he has ambitions to play as a senior international, preferably for Germany as he's played for them since u15 but the FAI have been pursuing him more aggressively since the season ended, which is also good, and if things don't work out or progress with the DfB, it's something he'd need to think about.

    Have we not already established that if Delap played in this u21 he'd be unable to make the switch to us, how would it be any different for Nebel

    Interesting turn after his recent commitment to Germany. It reads like a warning to Germany though rather than any real intent. Still though..

    Isn't he able to change if he already has an Irish passport?
