How can you relate to players who have represented more than one country or a country that they have lived in for 3 years?

Forget about the player, its the shirt on that players back with the england badge on it that matters.

Born in England
At least one parent born in England
The end

If someone lives here and they're good enough they'll get picked for their country of birth if not hard lines.

Changing national alegiance because it's convenient is ridiculous.

Why? The poster said that the penalisation of a minority was acceptable. I've simply pointed out instances where this has been the case in the past.

IWTID is a dour misanthrope, but I don't recall him advocating that anyone should be gassed.

No, but he's applying the same principles of unfairly punishing the minority for no reason.
Perhaps, with Wakefield being a minority in SL, we should charge them more than other away fans for getting into Wheldon Road?

I would argue there are more people who thought he wasn't international class than people who thought he was.

Listening to a number of fans sat around me at the game last night, the majority of the England team aren't international class.

Funnily enough the Loiner fans seemed to think the team should have more Leeds players in and I bet you could say the same for Saints, Wigan and Warrington fans...
