What are the rules that exist as regards playing for the nation that is not the one you are from,
could I have played for the north hypothetically?
Who the fuck is callum o dowda
What???
If all your parents and grandparents are Muldoons, no.
So McClean, Duffy and the others are playing under the grandparent rule, is it pre 1922 stuff or are the parents really from one of the 26 counties?
Its called the Good Friday Agreement mate
Good Friday agreement, all 6 counties folk are legally entitled to class themselves as Irish and have an Irish passport.
The Norn Iron FA tried to challenge this and FIFA told them to get stuffed.
Are any of that team that are actually from ireland from outside dublin?
That’s interesting, was it something that was genuinely agreed on (international sport) or did it come about as some sort of loophole dealing with something else?
edit: explained above
Yes
Randolph, Duffy, McClean and Murphy
Where are they from?
Wicklow, Derry, Derry and Waterford
Informative. Now who is callum o dowda.
Young winger, plays for Bristol City. Has looked good for Ireland whenever he’s played

Interesting.
Clark as captain!
So Brady central then with Hendrick and Arter holding? McCarthy for Arter and that’s the midfield that did well against France and Italy at the Euros.
