Simmer down. 

Why? I'm not allowed criticise him? I've never complained about an Irish-qualified player who has chosen not to play for Ireland. (There've been many. No issue with them whatsoever.) But I've never known one who's played at every level up to and including senior level before. It's an absolute piss take.

His career is coming to the boil nicely so I can see why you'd feel aggrieved.

Sorry. I'm pun-ignorant while angry.

Gutted that Rice has chosen England, but best of luck to the lad. 

 

He's a quality player. 

 

I fully blame oneill for not capping him when he had the chance, and Keane did being a massive wanker. 

 

It's fairly common knowledge that both Rice and Harry Arter where in treatment tables with the physios when Keane had his massive argument with Arter. Apparently Rice was completely blown away by the situation, he was just a kid to be fair. 

 

You can imagine besides the obvious monetary advantages of playing for england, the negativity around the Ireland camp and the fact the kid was born in england then the decision was probably rather easy. 

 

Ah well.

Alex Bruce was capped twice for the Republic before switching to Northern Ireland. </pedant>

Burritold me he knew you 

[Aventus]

Can't imagine him being a success for England, reckon he'll float like a cannonball.

Statement on Declan Rice

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Should've signed for Germany, he'd have been tasty for them alongside Müller.

Alex Bruce, not that he was much of a loss, switched to Norn Iron after two friendlies for the Republic. I think he may have been capped by an underage team for Norn Iron as well though!

[manwiththestick]

Same request as last night; a tight game that keeps focus on the return fixture and a couple of spurs injuries please.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Come on injuries!

[aRdja]

I know it’s early still, but Dortmund don’t look anything special. 

[Pureblood]

Moura almost hit than one too well.

[aRdja]

Their left back looks shite.

[aRdja]

Dahoud looks a lovely player. Cultured.

[Baltar]

BT creaming themselves over Sancho, calm down lads.

[aRdja]

Sancho can dribble.

[Captain Turdseye]

Dortmund starting to look a bit lively here.

Well, he is barely out of nappies.

[manwiththestick]

First time I have seen this Sancho but it seems he is worthy of some of the hype. Looks very good on the ball.
