Off Topic Martin Samuel ... what a ****head

Clyne, was the best RB by a mile for the two seasons upto the WC.....Now in the squad,ok>

Gerrard blocked Delph and also the arsenal crock and Gerrard too

 

Probably due to them being from a nation of almost 50m, more opportunities.

 

Well no need for the rant on Samuels then

 

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 ****

 

Samuel is can **** and deserves the **** he gets.

 

CLyne is of higher standing than Graelish that is for sure matey

you might as well say Sterling is an example

 

Samuels has no control over the rules, it is just his opinion for teh Mail FFS

 

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?

#fairquestion

 

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 know that duh, NewsFlash : "Daily Mail hack has no power to change FIFA rules" are they FIFA rules?

 

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?

 

So you reckon Samuel is ok to have a rant on the issue but reckon hash shouldn't.

or tell me when do you look at the Irish squad and think "**** we could have done with him"? not often I bet given PJs comments about sitting out the summer tourneys

 

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

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

 

For 9 of the last 15 years England never even had an English manager.

#nomoaningfromsamuelaboutthat

 

In this day and age the whole thing in all sports is the same, be it cricket atheltics football ect

Sure there are Kenyans running for Norway


Samuels argument is like several decades too late

 

Samuels arguments stink of nationalistic pride

 

My mistake not kenyan for Norway, Gambian Not laughing at the lad, but he "changed nationality" to run for Norway

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

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

 

Thing is I have used a perfectly good examples and you are now being pedantic, Sterling only really gets a game for the full squad due to playing for Liverpool TBH, Ibe is miles better

 

Who said they were FIFA rules?
