Liam Delap scores tonight for Man City
Liam Delap scores tonight for Man City
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
I am frantically trying to find those quotes- the quotes where Delap passionately states his kids would pick Ireland.
lets get Rory on the phone and pronto! Trap really bottled it with Rory once he recovered his injury.
If we cant nick this guy out of the english we are doomed. This guy has his entire family from Ireland, weve got there the whole nine yards.
What Rice and Grealish did to the national team as a whole is unforgivable, they cheapen Eire , in a way they didnt realize.
Is there even a 10% chance he will declare for us?
there may be a way, dont understand those guys from England with a strong irish background. Dont they know England can only name 23 guys each time?

From the article in 2014:
“They’ll listen to him quicker than they will me,” laughed Delap. “But you hope the importance of being Irish resonates with them. It meant everything to me growing up. We’ve gone back to the same places I went to when I was a child in Donegal and Meath. They loved it.
"Their granddad has drilled it into them that if they’re any good at anything, it’s Ireland they have to represent. When he said it, they took it all in. So that’s one issue done and dusted then.”
I'd imagine that Delap has previously been approached and since he's still with England has decided to play for them. Would be harder to get him now he's on the fringes of Citys 1st team
Sorry still trying to understand the new eligibility situation. As he's third generation, if he hasn't been registered as an Irish citizen before representing England, would he still be eligible for us?
That wouldn't be a problem at this point for Delap because he hasn't turned 21. It's not completely gone though - if a player plays for another country's underage teams after their 21st birthday and didn't have Irish citizenship before their first appearance for that country (even if that was back at 16 or 17 years of age) they would still be ineligible for us. As you can play under 21 up to the age of 23 at times this could still be an issue for us at some point.
Just heard the news there on Todayfm and Phil Collins was referring to Delap and his son and the goal. I reckon this is going to get noisy for a while if this kid kicks on. Early days though. Which might mean it rumbles on longer!
I think the way England (and specifically Gareth Southgate) led Grealish up the garden path will help us in the long term. No matter what England promise you obviously can't believe a word they say.
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.

You can say that again!
if a guy with a name such as Liam Delap cant get a game for Ireland theres something wrong in football.
England is capping guys from Cananda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago..... had capped guys from Australia in the past.
We must nick Rory's son from angelterre
