[Deckydee]

If this happened where would you see him fitting into the squad Deckydee?

He usually plays on the right side of a two player midfield, supporting the striker. Cant say where Trap could put him tbh. Warnock usually plays 4-3-2-1 and he seems to excel there.

Apparently Trap is going to the next QPR home game to have a look at him and Matt Conn olly.

Matt Connolly you'll remember was once called up but changed his mind at the last minute

Yeah, it was when he was at Arsenal, was called into an U19 squad, but he pulled out and then played for the England U19s a few months later

Sunderland right-back Phil Bardsley has been handed his first Scotland call-up ahead of the Euro 2012 qualifier against Czech Republic.

I don't know if i missed this but on O'Hara's wikipedia it states

"He has declared his intention to play for the Republic of Ireland and is waiting for the FAI to make contact."

I can't see the Tartan Army liking that one. His only Scottish connection is that his dad was born there on holiday

Ah cited quite inaccurately then. Part of me assumed since he's obviously into himself based on his tweets that he'd keep an eye on his wiki as well.

[paul_oshea]

Where you seeing that ifk? Just saw an ip address which i resolved to minnesota.

Couldn't find it either.

[rebelmusic]

So the person who changed it to declared first wrote

"He has declared his intention to declare for the [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]] and is waiting for an Giovanni Trappatoni to make contact."

Then he changed Trap to Fai.

Ip address is not responding. The person who added the citation for this added the rte link. Their ip resolved to the University of Minnesota - so probably some wiki junkie who doesnt like seeing things added without citations and googled the rte link.

[rebelmusic]

Wait resolving now -

it benefited france and holland the french can take players from the carribean and holland can get players from surinam. ruud guillet and edgar davis and jimmyfloud hassibank ect were born outside of holland. if a player is good enough he should be picked period. nocho novo can playfor scotland now he should be picked. if a player can play for us pick him end of story

Thats not the same - Gullit etc all grew up and learnt to play football in the country they represent and as such are representative of that country.If they'd been born in Holland and spent the rest of their life in Surinam I tend to doubt they'd have become world class footballers judging from Surinam's FIFA rankings.
If you base nationality on ancestral origins it becomes meaningless, everyone would just play for Gondwanaland. If Clark really wanted to play for Ireland he's have done so by now instead of waiting til England weren't picking him any more

He definitely had a shot with England - Ricky Sbragia reckons he's the best centre halves in the country for his age and he's extremely highly rated round Villa Park. Since it took Dunney Monster to alert the FAI and give him a call, it's far more likely he decided to switch because he actually wanted to play for Ireland. And his 'ancestral origins' are an Irish mum and a Scottish born Irish dad - it's hardly a stretch, like playing for 'Gondwanaland.'

He's been left out of one England squad in his life. not even the most committed wind up merchant could argue that he left in a huff because he wasn't being picked.

[boovidge]

don't remember any of these arguments being directed at Shane Duffy even though he played youth football and accepted a callup to the senior squad of another association and actually did declare for us partly because of a fallout with the NI management.
