    No sponsor on the kit he's wearing in that image - Blackburn are sponsored by a vaping company, and at 15, he's too young to advertise vaping.

    Quite right to. This vaping nonsense is probably a really bad time bomb.

    Physically imposing, dark-haired defensive central midfielder with Irish parternal grandparents that was previously with a recent Premiership winner, rocked up at a smaller club and progressed rapidly through their ranks to the first team. What could go wrong?

    Thinking through these examples some more, the grandparents really do need to step their game up a bit and start demanding some non-negotiable commitment to the Irish cause or, ideally, start making some dying wishes like Jimmy McCarthy's grandad. The underage expat GAA teams and summer holidays in Ballydehob only go so far these days.

    His name is Rory and his sister is Maeve. That must put an end to it no?
    Although I never thought someone called Deco would go and play for England
