Quoted from Heisenberg


I just don’t agree with hedging your bets. If he feels Welsh because of his parentage or whatever, no issues from me. I just don’t agree with players seeing what options they have on the table. I honestly think players should have to announce their nationality when they become professional, and this should be irreversible. It’s just an idea.


Has it not occurred to you that some people feel loyalty to two nationalities? Some can even feel affinity to 3 (parents from different countries and born in a third). Choosing between them is impossible.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

But ultimately that player has to choose ONE at some point, right? Life is full of tough decisions, but I would say this isn’t one of them.

Why should you choose? Do you love your mum or your dad?

You’re so condescending. Of course you have to choose at some point regarding sport.

Anyway, who says Harry has chosen? Wales have chosen to call him up, we have no idea if he’s receptive to their advances. I’m sure he is, but he’ll play for Wales as they’ve called him up, not because he rang up the Welsh FA proclaiming his loyalty to them.

That’s me done on this subject, I’m not getting into your t#t-for-tat silliness.

FFS Does it really matter. He's never going to play for England and unless he's playing in the Premier League or top half of the Championship he's not going to play for Wales at the top level either. The days are gone when Wales, Ireland, N Ireland et al were picking Div 4 or League of Ireland players for full international duty. It will be an excellent experience for him tho'

Quoted from grimps


They’ll improve him , playing alongside players from leagues above will be great for him at his age .
Think of it as free coaching , plus if teams come knocking to try and poach him away from us it’ll cost them a bit more if he gets a cap or two


Just like Darrend Barnard


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.
