He deserves this to tail spin badly, he deserves to end up like Grealish who will likely turn 24 in the Championship thank f*ck. No problem with dual lads, know plenty, but don't learn the anthem, kiss the badge knowing this was brewing, give the interviews he gave, and then swap that for money, & swap it for money over family at that. He's nowhere yet, still early days, and hopefully he doesn't get there at all.
Those quotes from his father originated in the sun, but the story has been taken off their website.
Read into that what you will
I read "son, you're a dissapointment to me".
I read "when even the sun isn't willing to stand behind the quotes on their own website, you probably shouldn't put too much faith in the story"
I don't put any weight at all on the story.
I'd like the FAI to remove him from the squad page.
TBF they have removed Grealish
Bar wanting him to play for Ireland I would love a change of heart / rejection from fifa to occur in order to stick the fingers up at Gary Lineker and David Gold amongst others for rubbing all this in our face and just for being ****s.
On the positive side after Brexit he will be ineligible to play in the UEFA Champions League or other UEFA competitions unless Mrs May can sort something out

Of course. It is not an EU competition.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I think it's time to move the thread.
Agreed. Let's kill it and move on. He has done enough damage
Please do. I'm actually so bloody incensed over this lad. Grealish was at least demonstrably a ****. This lad seemed one of ours. God it's terrible.
Personally I think anybody who has ever played for Ireland at senior or underage should remain in the Ireland forum. They're a part of our history and we should be able to discuss them as such in the relevant forum. I know the Rice situation is pretty raw right now though, maybe it should be just locked for a while and allowed fall down the pages.
Crowley moving over and back from World Football is a good example of how pointless it is. It's simpler to leave them all here and there would be less inconsistencies (why wasn't Patrick Bamford's thread moved to World Football, for example?).
Declan Rice has 3 Ireland caps. 3 more than me. His thread should stay here.
This was all discussed when Grealish's thread was moved: https://foot.ie/threads/205422-Crowley-Grealish
I'd forgotten about Bamford's thread, but it should have been moved as well
Crowley seems to be a unique case - a thread that was started on an underage player who switched to England and has now switched to Ireland
Everything Rice does for the rest of his career is going to be irrelevant to Irish football, and so will any discussion on his career. Why should it stay in this folder?
Should have been gone they day he announced it tets, this is our happy place, the Ireland section. Our escapism. That p*ick in here is like watching your ex dancing with someone else while you order triple Jamesons to cope.
