Jack Grealish will regret turning his back on ROI as England won't want to know him as he's now playing in the championship, he's fallen into obscurity now and he won't get anywhere near the England team now.
ephabouyed Actually Grealish has just had his best season by far and even if he never plays for England can you blame him for wanting to play for the Country he was born and raised in?
Ireland should concentrate on nurturing their own talent rather than poaching English players. Both Rice and Grealish were born in England and only qualified to play for Ireland through their grandparents. The team Ireland put on the field by Jack charlton in to 94 World Cup could have been an England B team. Ireland's top scorer is Tony Cascarino who qualified through an Irish grandparent; only to find out post career that he is adopted and does not have an Irish bone in his body. A world class player like Mark Lawrenson who is Preston born could have turned England from a decent team into a team challenging for honours. Better to field Irish players who want to play for their country than players just not good enough to play for England or too young to realise they will be good enough to play for England.
Isn't it ironic that we had to listen to the English supporters whinging about the English born players choosing their own team of their historic family and now they are nicking our players BTW I am convinced that Grealish can take care of himself on the pitch because of the years he was playing gaelic football in Birmingham Good luck to the lad
you either want to play for Ireland or you don't, it's that simple. all this fannying about over Grealish was embarrassing. Look at him now? Relegation looms for Villa, and Ireland are off to France. Good man Jack, you made the right choice.....NOT!
++EnglandFanatic+ the toulon tournament...are you serious?!😂 the guy is going to end up playing in the lower tiers at the rate he's going. He couldn't even get into an absolutely dire Villa team. Isn't delusion a grand thing when it suits!
++EnglandFanatic+ We won both the U-16 and U-18 European Championships in 1998 and not everyone cut the mustard when it came to making it. Grealish will be the same. He's probably a bit like yourself - as useful as a chocolate teapot. You lot behave yourself over there, your reputation precedes you....the original cretins I may add.
Nick? You mean we rob players and put them in our team while they're not looking? I hate to shock you but everyone born in Northern Ireland is Irish, the clue is in the name.
An English player not playing for Ireland can hardly be compared to an Irish Catholic born in the occupied six counties of Ireland, hardly the same scenario.
The Republic hardly nicked Shane Duffy and McClean, they wanted to play for the Republic probably because Northern Ireland is a fake sectarian state who would get abused by the bigots up north like they abused Neil Lennon.
@@joesmith4703 no they didn't lol, Britain drew the war with Ireland yet despite that the idiot Michael Collins agreed to give up the North, the North was then illegally divided purely on sectarian lines, they carved up a sectarian apartheid state equivalent to South Africa all because of religion. Learn some history you fool.
@@benrobinson6954 Ireland have always plucked people of Irish descent to play for them, regardless of whether they are actually worth it or not. Some have close relations like Mick McCarthy but some are way off like Steve Staunton (who famously didn't know ROI's own anthem at WC1994). It's the consequence of having a really weak professional league in Ireland and relatively few Irish players at EPL/SPL clubs . Ireland are acting like several African and Asian countries who scout Europe looking for eligible players because they can't produce their own.
If he eventually chose Ireland, I wouldn't want him. Why do we want english players playing for Ireland? They just use us as a way into international football

He is in a pickle, he turned his back on Ireland but England have turned their back on him! I don't think Southgates wants him as he dad is Irish? Its a shame he is a magnificent player who has been badley advised.

@@haseebmudassir451 well if that was aimed at me, no I don't feel like a fool. He may be in the squad but Safegate wants to pick just anyone instead if Grealish....

Listen, if you don’t want to play for Ireland, that’s fine. I can accept it. England are better than us. But if you play for our youth teams at every level and then decide you’ll go to the enemy, that just speaks of your lack of appreciation towards the country that built you into the player you are. And if you don’t feel proud to pull on the green of Ireland, you can piss off to England for all I care. If you don’t want to play for Ireland and only see us as a last resort, don’t play for us. We want players who actually want to represent us in the first place. Not be England’s rejects team or a stepping stone for an England career.
Plenty of reasons for grudges both ways if you're out looking for them. Or you could look at all the things that are held in common by the two nations. Just a matter of perspective
