Claims in the Daily Star today that he wants to come back: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/...ttoni-call-up/
Someone should tell him the ball is in his court with regard to contacting the FAI and letting them know he's re-available for selection.

Hehe, easy now. I wasn't saying anyone should select him. I just think it's a bit odd that he seems to believe it's up to the FAI to come crawling back to him again after the association went to the bother of organising fruitless meetings with him in the past.
Take your time Stephen. Just think about it for 10 or 15 years. Just wait by the phone.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
More about the family wanting him to come back.
"Even the kids are putting me under pressure."

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
A new poll might be in order?
But surely, on form, he isn't worthy of a place, right? Admittedly ive only seen him play twice this season and he was very good but don't even know (or care to check) whether he is currently in the villa team or not...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
"We"!"We watch all the Ireland matches. We still totally support them, we're not like this bitter, twisted, you know . . ." she trails off, horrified at the idea that people might imagine any bad blood on their part.
"I want people to know we're fully supportive of the whole Irish team. Like I said, we've put it in the past. We never wanted it to happen that way. We'd love to be part of that again -- love to be!" she says emphatically.
Does she think Stephen would to like to play for his country? "Yeah," she says without hesitation. "Definitely. We'd love it."
Does she think he believes it will happen? "I hope so. I don't know if he thinks . . . I mean there's so much politics to it. And obviously, after what happened, it's completely up to the manager. And we respect that. It's his decision. He's the one that does the team and stuff. It's up to him."

Men just ain't like what they used to be, are they?
I think she also misses the point about SI having (a) retired and (b) openly criticised Trap's arrogance. It's not up to Trap at all. Why don't interviewers press her / him on this point?
I'd say shes right there.Does she think Stephen would to like to play for his country? "Yeah," she says without hesitation. "Definitely. We'd love it."

I wonder will he seem this keen to be called back into the squad after the Euros is over. I reckon deluded as he is that he still reckons there's time to force himself into the Euro squad. Its also poignant that he himself hasn't said anything on the matter. All the noise is emanating from third parties.
Nice little set-up from Steven for Weimann's screamer today.

He just loves any sort of attention!
you really do have to question his upbringing!

this is hardly new information
from 2006 (seriously, 2006!): http://fourfourtwo.com/interviews/bo...0/article.aspx
Team supported
Manchester United until I arrived at City aged 14 and everything changed.
From that same article, and this is one I don't remember whether it came up or not....
Now I know things are a bit different for lads from Africa etc... but I can't think of one person who would have been born here, with full Irish parents(both of his are full right?) and who would consider playing for Italy and England.Hopefully enjoying my fifth season in the first team for City and playing international football – but seeing as I can play for England, Ireland and Italy, I’m not sure who it will be for.
You'd think for someone with a 100% Irish background, it would be Ireland or nothing.... :\
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
Interview with the foreigner on Football focus tomorrow.
If the question comes his way.........he would consider it. Going to review the situation after the euros as unlikely that he will be picked for euros.
Seriously, this lad.....
