    Thing is too, his Dad is also English, and he no doubt helped him decide on this matter, Samuels wants to deny others like him the choice in future, he's a ****

    Lets look at Samuels bitterness from another angle, how many top players in the last 20 years have England been denied by Irish scouts snapping them up?

    That's not what he's saying at all though.

    He's saying that the grand parent rule is tenuous and allows nations to go sharking for players, who have no real link with that country, and pointing out that if the larger countries went hunting for young star players in the likes of Ireland that the same tenuous links could be used to the detriment of their 'real' Nation, brought about by bungs and dodgy agents.

    I can see the ppint when you make it Tobes, but having read Samuels whole argument it smacks of other agendas

    But a fair question is how many top talents have been nabbed by Ireland this past 20 years using this rule?

    The ancestry rule is there for all to avail of, heck Januzaj could play for England if he waited another 5 years or something.

    Samuels is a **** end of <ok>

    Those rules are there to promote the best players to playing in international football, if not with their home nation then another, even if their is no ancestry criteria met

    This is modern sports, Samuels is a ****s stuck in the past <ok>

    he is only trying and failing to create a logical argument because of his feelings that are probably not legal to publish :bandit:
