The cheek of this fucker, I bet he couldn't find Ireland on a map. Pennant wants call to play for Ireland Tuesday, 8 March 2011 14:25 Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant has revealed he qualifies to play for the Republic of Ireland and would appreciate a call-up from Giovanni Trapattoni. Pennant has been capped at underage level for England but has yet to pick up a senior cap, meaning he is still eligible to play for the Republic through an Irish grandfather. He told BBC Radio Stoke: 'I'm 28, I'm not getting any younger and I'd like to play international football, whether it's with England or Ireland. 'I'd love to play for England but it's just never happened. 'I don't think it's going to happen, not because of my ability, but maybe misdemeanours in the past that have put that to a halt. 'They're looking at younger, up-and-coming talent which is great for England.' He added: 'Who's to say that Ireland can't get to the next World Cup? If I could be a part of that with Ireland, that would be great. 'If I've got a chance to play international football with Ireland, I'm going to take it with both hands. 'They've asked previously and I said "I want to try and play for England", but I never closed the door on it. 'I actually looked into it and texted my agent. I think he's contacted them to say "he's eligible to play and he's interested", so we'll see what happens. 'Now they know that I'm interested, maybe they'll start watching me in games. 'You can't just click your fingers and say "pick me for the team". 'You've got to be playing well for your club before you play for any country.' RTÉ Sport: Pennant call to Ireland would be considered Yeah, thanks Gerry. We'll be in touch.
