    there's no fixed amount of time for a change of allegiance to go through. Nacer Chadli played for Morocco in November 2010, and made his debut for Belgium three months later. Michael Duffy stated last August he was changing allegiance to the Republic national team, but it wasn't processed in time for him to appear in either game in November.

    Surely the family can see how pathetic and manipulative the FA are being here, part of me honestly thinks are they being held to ransom as all this drum beating from the FA really smacks of desperation and sounds as if they dont believe they are as attractive as they look, you sure as hell wouldn't see Germany and Spain making this much noise as they at least know there value.

    Shane Duffy's took a long time. IFA seem to drag their feet and make the process as long as possible.

    Balls.ie sharing that someone called Rice a future Ireland captain on Instagram and Rice liked the comment.

    could mean something, could mean nothing.
    There's another comment on the same photo with the same text that he didn't click "like" on.

    I'd like to think if he does switch - the FAI mysteriously lose the paperwork and draw it out for as long as possible.

    Yes I'm that rancorous.

    Oh Crikey, we're all getting a little obsessive over Rice. So let's try to give things a "glass half full" view. So even if we do lose him, remember that over the last year we've gained a very decent Championship striker (Robinson), a talented young midfielder playing in the Eredivisie (Crowley) and held on to a teenage striker who has broken through at EPL level (Obafemi) - so I think we're still ahead in the area of recruitment of players with multiple international options... still be great if Rice sticks with us, though

    Maybe he liked the irony of the comment?

    Allow me to delve further into my obsession with this Tweet from the FAI: https://twitter.com/FAIreland/status...472477698?s=19

    Whether it's linked or not, the odds have been slashed into 4/6 that Rice is sticking with Ireland.

    Paddy Power. England were 2/5 yesterday. They're 11/10 now.

    Even if it's true, I don't think the bookies' odds reflect anything other than a way to get the punter to part with their money.

    I'm feeling fairly philosophical about it all now. He'll make his decision one way or the other and good luck to him either way.

    Part of me wondering if this is all going to end up as no more than context to him storming out of an Ireland training camp in the Seychelles 2 weeks before the start of the 2022 World Cup after a blistering row with Mick McCarthy.

    I dont know to be honest...what about the tweet from the FAI > (Shirt is from September) https://extra.ie/2019/01/14/sport/so...IXapzA0K7b7FaI

    His facebook profile pic is also interesting > https://www.facebook.com/declan.rice.90

    EDIT: Shirt released in September > https://www.balls.ie/football/new-ir...-201819-396080

    Ireland play Wales in Cardiff in the opening game of the new UEFA Nations League on September 6th. That will be followed by a friendly against Poland in Wroclaw on September 11th. The first home of the new season will be on October 13th against Denmark.

    Rice pulled out around the end of August > https://www.theguardian.com/football...neill-west-ham

    The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.

    It's not a recent photo, nope. His hair is shorter at the moment.

    Obsessive, yeah.

    He has his West Ham contract done and dusted so one would really have to wonder why he is now dragging the arse out of his International situation.
