GalwayGuy35: You probably dont remember Italia 90 if we didnt have that rule we wouldnt have had much of a team to do as well as we did that year.
Bloody embarressing watching them interview the Irish players and hardly and Irish accent between them
godeas69: I don't see a problem with anyone of irish ancestry declaring, after all there is 35 million of them in the states. A plastic paddy is acceptable if it makes the squad stronger. We're not Brazil.
