The fact that he shunned the England under-19's for the Ireland under-21's is interesting. Makes me wonder what would happen if he got a call up to the England under-21's..."you want to play at the highest level you can don't you (sic)." In this case there would be a conundrum; Ireland would have to offer him senior football to ensure we offer him the higher level. Although he states "But what I know is I do want to play for Ireland at the moment", what would happen when he had to commit to one side or the other? Playing for England under-21's competitively would be sufficient to tie him.
His words remind me of when you're sleeping with a girl and she wants commitment. But you don't want commitment. You're enjoying the sex and all but you don't want to commit so you tell her you like her and things are fine the way they are... A prettier girl comes along and your head is turned. The prettier girl could burn you and might not be as committed as you and maybe you come to realise that the first girl was the one for you.
Well, Jack, we're the average girl and we want you to commit to us. We love you, Jack.
