In last nights Eire v Wales match, of the 27 players who saw action, 10 were born in England, 8 in Eire, 7 in Wales and 2 in Northern Ireland.

Not on point but great work the way you came up with three English internationals over the last 35 years who weren’t born in England.

Of the 13 on the Irish team who saw action, 10 were Irish (including 2 born in occupied Derry), none were born in Northern Ireland you forelock tugging royalist. So 3 non-Irish born players. Both Clark’s parents were Irish as well so not exactly a plastic.

I’m not sure why you’d deliberately muddy the waters by including the servile Welsh in your comparison? No one gives a fuck about them. They are nothing. Not even a country.

Jaysus.

In total, 106 players born abroad have represented England, of a total of 704 players.

That’s 15% of all English cricket players, ever, that aren’t from England!!!

It appears the English soccer public are really enjoying the Irish win

@Tassotti

The English are very sporting and full of goodwill towards the drunken simpletons from Oireland

The English are the most fair minded people you will meet anywhere in the world. The English football public invariably always wish Eire well. Essentially the Eire soccer team is a product of the English football system. All 13 of the Eire players who featured in Cardiff last night play for clubs in England and a few of them were born in England as well. That’s the way it always has been.

On a personal level as an England supporter, I was happy for Eire last night. It really is David v Goliath stuff, no professional domestic league for its players to play in, no soccer stadium to play their home games in and the only 4th seed from Europe still left with a chance of going to the World Cup

Clark chose to play for Ireland when he was captain of the England u21s iirc. Clearly sees himself as Irish

Not that I am aware of.

Sure we don’t even have anything near a LOI club.

Quislings like yourself should take credit for this too. A true ambassador for the stereotypical pub talking Mick. They see us as harmless oul divils.

If only lads like Clark and Artur - what, with their tenuous Irish ancestry through blood relatives - were half as committed to the Irish cause as true patriots like CJ Stander, Rikard Strauss, Michael Bent and Jared “Jimmy” Payne.

Ooooft

[Tassotti]

the Oirish are just happy to be there and it gives the country a bit of a lift, everyone is a winner, for England supporters like you and I, The World Cup is a very serious compeition
