Gordon McQueen slags off McGeady & McCarthy

[Haston]

Matt Gilks should not be allowed to play for Scotland, the other three are ok as they have Scottish parents.

The grandparents rule should be thrown out the window and Aids and McCarthy to represent there home nation of Scotland.

Gilks will be lucky to ever play anyway, he's got three top keepers ahead of him in the pecking order! He's only in the squad because McGregor is injured

Worst argument ever - Nationality is not determined by your place of birth. If your bird was pregnant and gave birth on holiday in Spain, is your child Spanish only then? NONSENSE. Nationality is determined by a combination of:
1) Self-belief
2) Place of birth
3) Family history/heritage
4) Culture
5) Several other factors

I can rest assure you that McGeady & McCarthy both feel that they are truly Irish, raised by Irish parents into Irish culture. Just because their parents left Ireland for whatever reason shouldn't affect their right to be Irish.

Mark Lawrenson, Tony Cascarino, Matt Holland, James Morrison (Scotland), etc are a disgrace, "choosing" a nationality so they can play International football. As would Arteta if he had of exercised his 'right' to play for England.

Lennox Lewis is solely Canadian then etc?

But, McCarthy and Aids parents are Scottish. It was the grandparents who were Irish.

I have to agree here; but it should also count on where you were raised, as your parents may be living in army quarters in Belize for a year so you would have to play for them (if Belize has a football team) so birth country can be ignored in special circumstances
