Can’t blame him. Blame the shambolic irish set up. Blame incompetent John Delaney, Blame hard man bully Roy Keane, blame the dinosaur Martin O’Neill
Choose life
Bertie Blenkinsop
Can’t blame him as England are the better bet currently but he shouldn’t have played the friendlies.
Jack Grealish is playing really well for Villa. It’s a matter of time before he’s playing with a bigger club. If Levy wasn’t such a penny pincher he’d currently be playing for Spurs.
Rice looks the real deal.
He was part of the Irish set up and witnessed first hand how shambolic it was. He witnessed Keane bullying Arthur. He witnessed Martin O’Neill not coaching players and announcing teams shortly before games to unexpecting players. He witnessed that this was a footballing nation going nowhere under the guidance of John Delaney
Brother Barnabas
that’s all probably true
also, though, west ham know that the difference between rice being an Ireland player or an England player is probably £30 million when they eventually sell him
scottser
more to the point, i remember in the secret footballer, kitson advises a young lad to declare for england over ireland on the basis that even one cap for england would be worth a million quid to the player whereas 50 caps for ireland gets you sod all.
Brother Barnabas
apparently the contract on offer to him up to now was 30k a week, which he was stalling on. interesting to see what it gets upped to after this.
Otis Blue
So Dave Kitson was the Secret Footballer?
Bertie Blenkinsop
The Secret Footballer was Sidwell wasn’t it?
rotide
i thought the secret footballer was an amalgalm of a few of them
Balls.
Ollie in 3,2,1….

I hope he goes the way of Jack Grealish.

Any others in the frame?

Grealish isn’t playing for England was my point.
to be fair to rice, he’s a better player than grealish
I know. I think he will be once he does sign for a better team which seems to be imminent
Sure we’ll see.
I think Grealish is too inconsistent but I’ve been wrong before
( damn you Jimmy Carter! )
definitely shouldn’t have played the friendlies
he knew back in May that this was coming – that’s when David Sullivan stated publicly that rice would go on to “the rock of the England defence”
pressure from his club was a big factor
bet my nuts he doesn’t get more than 10 caps
Well said
so he’s retiring from international football
hahaha
??? To play with a team who got to the semi finals of the world cup.
To watch a team who got to the semi finals of the world cup.
Admittedly from a very good seat.
+lol
He has made the right choice given the abuse he was receiving from so-called Ireland supporters
I hope he signs for Everton dav, you’ll be so conflicted if he wears a blushirt.
Lol. Never ever seen a comment from dav without blushirt in it.

look away now dav!
must be a slow day in merrion sq. Leo mustn’t have an envelope opening to go to..
ah, did the blushirts steal your sense of humour too, you miserable person
unfortunately they’ve stolen the future away from Irelands citizens
yup and the kit is so much nicer. that garish green can be improved on. Making the supporters buy it with a sponsor too is appaling.
Everything the fai does is appalling, they’re an absolute shambles of an organization run by a gobsh!*e.
