Cunny agrees with me.
If those lads declare for us then they are the football equivalent of Mary Lou McDonald.
Make themselves available for another country/party when another country/party refuses to select them and claim allegiance.

Mary Lou became disllusioned with the centre right policies & corruption of FF
Its a scenario Ive put up here before and takes a bit of imagination to work it out.
Imagine 20 years from now. Ireland have a decent quality LOI and players capabale of playing for Ireland at international level are playing in the league.
Ragball Rovers out in Tallaght have a player - Jerzy Dempsey. Born and bred in Dublin, same as his parents. He is a hardcore Dub and goes to Croker to snort coke on the Hill with the rest of his mates. This boy is good and has been tipped for the top since the age of 12. Suddenly at 17 Jerzy decides to declare for Poland. Suddenly the hopes an dreams of watching this lad play for Ireland are crushed. You think for a second that lad wouldnt get unimaginable abuse all around the country?
James Connolly hardly considered himself Irish either NCC.
And then declared for the party of Donaldson and a range of other scumbags all on the take in some way or other.:mad:
When did she take to the pies or was she always a slobby minger?

Isnât there already players in the league capable of playing for Ireland?
Anyway, what position is this lad?

Jerzy Dempsey is currently in an embryonic state but is expected to be a striker of much repute.
Iâll email the FAI and alert them to his elgibility so. In 20 years time he can visit Don Givens in his retirement home so they can have a row and he can throw his lot in with Poland.

From the same fellas that boo Rangers players who play against Ireland in Croker? Yes, most likely.
From the rest? Nah.
Some of the vehement âwe donât want these fuckersâ crew will be over in the rugby thread in another while saying what an addition Mafi will be to the Irish squad when he qualifies

Mafi will have lived longer in Ireland than either of these fellas in question here.
Mafi also will never qualify to play for Ireland.
KIB Keown did want to play for Ireland and only didnât because he didnât get on with Jack Charlton.
In my view there is a big difference between players who werenât born here but always want to play for us like McGeady and Kilbane and these lads. If they want to make themselves available fine but they have to want to represent us and have identity with Ireland

When would Keown have come into contact with Charlton?
Donât know but he said he wanted to play for Ireland and regarded himself as Irish in an interview with Irish Times about a year ago and the reason he didnât was poor relationship with Charlton
Regarded himself as Irish but played for England
He was obviously talking horseshit.

Yeah fair enough but I think he would have chosen us over them all things being even
All things were equal larry. He had a choice Ireland or England.
