Quote from: LeeB on March 31, 2024, 01:57:30 PMI'm bothered about football, obvs as the kids say, but think I would've struggled to be arsed to want to play for England and would've declared for Ireland as it always looked more fun. I qualify for both Irelands and Scotland. I'm 46, a stone overweight and have a penchant for substance abuse. Why couldn't I be fucking Welsh?!

I would be eligible for England, Ireland, Northern Ireland and a small Central American country.

The St George Cross debate highlighted why I hate international football. Too much jingoistic right-wing bandwagon jumping twattery. Hopefully more players will follow White's example and the whole nonsense will fizzle away...

It’s our national flag, which I’m proud of, so why should it be changed to suit some sportswear company. No way they’d do it to the Stars and Stripes.

I’d qualify for Wales through both maternal grandparents, and was nearly Welsh myself. Thankfully, my mum got me over the border into the finest English county there is just in time.

A very feisty response but it's been done before (England kit in 2011 and 12 and Union Jack was colour manipulated for Athletes tops in 2012 Olympics) by sports wear companies. And they won't do it to to S&S because Yanks are narrow minded imbeciles.
