They were reporting it as if it's real news on Newstalk earlier as well, also sighting 'reports'. A bit underwhelming that The Star seems to be the source but hopefully it comes good.

Im very curious if we will get a statement today from Rice or if it was the media up to thier old tricks

Jason is still waiting patiently too.
We were hoping you might be able to tell us, Jay.
He is now saying on his twitter account "He never said it {for} sure, which doesn't fill me full of confidence, but lets wait and see to be fair
*tumbleweed bounces by...*
Anyone else get a mild panic attack when this thread is bumped?

Still in the dark.
Not that he was as sought after as O'Brien but nice word from Aiden O'Brien on his choice at the bottom, demonstrating his genuine pride at debut goal.
Love that from O’Brien.
Love his attitude.
We could do with more like him.
Thought he held the ball up really well the other night too.
I’d have him ahead of Robinson in the pecking order for sure. And possibly Hogan.
I wouldn't say O'Brien and Robinson are in direct competition. O'Brien is competing with Long and Walters for the strong target man role. Robinson, Hogan, Maguire and Burke are probably all competing for a role off one of them.
I wonder if Cairney turns southgate down, would it put a little pressure on Rice to stay with Ireland and vice verus

There is nothing in that article to suggest Cairney is thinking about switching or England are looking to call him up.
Cairney was genuinely injured for Scotland's September games - that's the reason he didn't play.
It's clickbait rubbish.
Stephen Kelly on radio today saying with Rice's good performances it's increasingly likely he will opt for the Brits
Folding my way into the big money!!!
It makes me sick, everytime he plays well he is on his way to England, everytime he is dropped he might stay with Ireland
When did we lose such confidence in ourselves. We are a brilliant country, small but great. I really hate this selling ourselves short business
I'm not a big fan of ultimatums, but I do think in this case he should decide before the next squad is announced
Its grossly unfair on the management team and the fans to continue to "deliberate"
When? Could it have been during the home game against Austria last campaign?
Or maybe it was after those imposters in green shirts took the field in Georgia the following September?
Or maybe as recently as our last game in Cardiff? Who knows?
But what I do know is when you continue to play like muck, eventually muck sticks to the wall.
We are a brilliant country. Absolutely true. But we continue to accept mediocrity and pretend that its greatness.
We know what it takes to become great. Just ask our rugby players. They didn't become feared across the world by sitting there and complaining and pointing fingers at one another.
They worked their tails off, unlike the FAI and LOI who have spent all of my lifetime failing to get out of their own way.
A completely different sport, but I am a big fan of the New England Patriots. I have watched that team come up from their bootstraps twenty years ago.
They never accepted mediocrity and fixed problems any time they arose. They are the greatest team I have ever seen in any sport and it was a joy to see how hard work and correct decision making can reach
the highest of all highs and beyond. To be a supporter of Ireland and the New England Patriots at the same time is a classic example
of how to do things and how not to do them (ie to tear one's hair out on a regular basis).
