Declan Rice

[Neiler]

He sounds pretty English to me....a kid who was born and bred in South London cant really 'do the dirty' on Ireland...a place he's never even lived. If his name was Harry instead of a very Irish Declan no one would even mention it

"Rice was born and raised in Kingston upon Thames, London.[4] His paternal grandparents were from Douglas, County Cork.[5] He grew up in Kingston upon Thames and joined the academy of Chelsea in 2006, as a seven-year-old.[6][7] In 2014, after his release at the age of 14, he joined the academy of West Ham United.[8][9]"

Harry Kane is a plastic paddy as well though, second generation Irish.

If the FAI had any nous to develop the grass roots football here, we would be producing very very decent footballers instead of world class Rugby players.

If Harry and Declans respective parents hadn't left the mother ship and moved to England neither would be professional footballers.

Cant remember a time when there was more of Celtic streak running through the English team.

Looks very ordinary at the moment

 

[Walken]

gotten a bit lost as we dominated but showed some nice touches and athleticism, first time I've really watched him but he looks talented

At least he’ll have something in common with England fans, seeing as no one else brings up the IRA so often.

I couldn't care less, so voted for the fact that Jackson was a paedo.

Was he the scrawny kid with the JD sports model haircut who did the square route of nothing for them in the middle?

He was one of their only decent performers. He aint going to make the whole team play better.

Looks good on the ball.

Good, but not good enough to sleep in bed with young boys.

Agree. Would love to have him at Everton.
