So you wouldnt have him for Northern Ireland?
Oh sorry I forgot, he shot you down.
As I said sectarianism amd sport dont mix, well apart from in Windsor Park.
The only fans in the world that send their own players death threats and live bullets.

No but this represents your views as you posted this originally
Mybe Trapatoni only wants people from the Republic of Ireland to play for the Republic of Ireland
The two lads from Derry consider themselves Irish, the same as many nationalists and republicans in the 6 counties do and therefore declared for the Republic of Ireland. Whether you like it or not that is there right.
Paddy McCourt and Niall McGynn declared for the North and were rewarded with death threats and bullets in the post.
You are right those fans are not racist, they are sectarian bigots and there are plenty of them in Windsor Park.
Maybe you should open your mind and move on from 1690. We are in the 21st Century now and Irish nationalist footballers will no longer accept sectarian abuse from the billy boys.
Your original post I highlighted above, told those of us from a nationalist backgound what your viewpoint was on this subject. It's too late to start backtracking now, you have already shown your true colours.

anyone fancy westwood as our new number 1. Haven't seen him all that much, maybe 4 games but he hasn't put a foot wrong in any of those, always in the right position, comes for and catches crosses, and good one on one as well. Reina just has to go now, no trust in him at all and no doubt he will throw in a couple of goals against sunderland next week..westwood reminds me of a younger given.

It doesnt represent my views actually. And i have never posted anything on any forum that was sectarian so im not backtracking on anything.
If those where my views then i wouldnt like Paddy McCourt, Niall McGinn or any other Roman Catholic in the Northern Ireland squad but in actual fact I do. I respect these guys for playing for their country. When we play we are Northern Irish and all the players are Northern irish, thats the way I see it, nothing else.
And I totally disapprove of anyone who sees it differently and gives abuse to any player playing for their country.
My problem is with players not playing for their country. I know its a players right like you said but I will always have a problem with countrys taking players from other countries. I see it as cheating.
For example, one of your most successful squads, the Italia 90 squad, had 16 players from the United Kingdom. Why would you want this? Its not a true reflection of how good your country is as a football team.
FIFA continues to fail in my opinion.

well your opinion is wrong. Irish people had to emigrate , and your saying their kids have no right to play for the country they descend from.

*Players should play for the country they are born in
