    Well as the central hub of the United Kingdom and indeed the old Empire you've been sucking up our best and brightest citizens for a good couple of centuries. Please excuse us for trying to nick a couple of decent ones back.

    Yes, one wonders what state the roads of England would be in if it weren't for our friends from the emerald isle.

    I think it's a good thing, let's face it he'll never play for England so why not look at other options, he won't be the last player to do this. At least he does have a legitimate link unlike Tony Cascarino!

    I don't get the attraction. I know it opens up the opportunity to play international football but if it was me, it would be England or nothing. I couldn't play for another country, I wouldn't be able to wear the shirt with pride.

    First we had Caleb O'Folan and now it's Paddy O'Gerrard.

    He'd be the fifth Irish international player from our team in the past couple of years and only one of them was actually Irish.
