Good discussion! High fives all round for getting this one resolved! Yeah!
please see the two attached quotes from the James McClean thread in the Irish forum. Posters are looking for clarification on what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in a players thread. I stringly believe and always have, that the players thread should relate to player news and performance and things of that nature. The eligibility thread should be about player eligibility and other political issues that a huge majority of posters are not interested in and/or do not get involved in. The James McClean thread has been taken over in the last week with debate about eligibility and for those who have no interest, it is quite tiring.
We would like to see some debate here leading to the mods clarifying the intent of player threads and the eligibility thread and to start moderating accordingly.
Thanks!!

I have no opinion on this either way tbh.
My opinion is that his thread should be about his footballing career solely because those who are actually interested in hearing about his football have that thread to keep up to date and get opinions and those that want to talk about political stuff already have to their own thread to do that.
I notice that certain posters only seem to post about the political stuff and were McClean not from the North there wouldn't be a peep from them in his thread.

It would be odd for them to get involve in a discussion about Wes Hoolahan's eligibility as being from Dublin is hardly contentious in that area.
Of course a thread regarding any player from Derry, Antrim, Down, Armagh, Tyrone or Fermanagh is going to have an element of discussion about their provenance and if they had played for the IFA's underage teams before as well, then inevitably there is going to be a political discussion.
I don't know why that's a surprise?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
