Fight Like Lions Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Personally I don't see there's any more to read into it. He's not ready to commit and wants to concentrate on his club football. As we've got some important games coming up and the Ireland games are friendlies then he'll probably get away with it as far as the media are concerned. Next time England or Ireland come calling he's going to have to make a choice. Seems to me that the lad has his head screwed on and getting good support from his family and Villa. Hope he manages to stay this down to earth as it's becoming more of a rarity in football these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No wonder MON is unhappy, he obviously doesn't like somebody walking out at the last moment* *Jack didn't actually do this. But MON is a word removed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 'Waiting until the end of the season' and 'concentrating on my football' tends to mean, 'I'm going to leave and upset the fans'. If he really wanted to plan for Eire then I think he would have accepted a call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think all the reports that Wayne Rooney has had to put up with in last 10 years or so was to his benefit. Or how about Sterling in last 6 months?

Popular Post P3te Posted May 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2015 you do understand how the media work? I should do, I work in it Do you think all the reports that Wayne Rooney has had to put up with in last 10 years or so was to his benefit. Or how about Sterling in last 6 months? It's to sell papers, generate clicks or social traffic. It's got nothing to do with attempting to affect a player's form or career. People in Ireland want to hear about Grealish, so the papers give them lots about Grealish. None of the journos are sitting around plotting the player's demise through coverage 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Brilliant news. Let's hope England give him a call up and include Delph and Cleverley in the side too. Yeah because our players getting call ups usually works out well for us, doesn't it? Sod that - change your mind and go for Ireland,Jack! Before it's too late! Of course playing for England will mean other clubs will be interested in our players. That's a good thing. If nobody is interested in a player, or no big clubs, means he's probably playing poorly.

Dirtysanchez Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Jack had accepted the call up to Ireland squad today and just before the squad was announced MON and Sherwood had words, Tim apparently told him to focus on Villa for the next few weeks and not to be distracted especially as still in relegation battle and cup final, press conference was delayed by almost 40 mins because Martin was chatting to Tim at the last minute before making the announcement to the media. Fairly confident he will stick with Ireland which he has done for the past 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Whether it's true or not, I don't know. But it doesn't make much sense. Him saying yes/no to Ireland surely wouldn't make much different to Villla, would it? I'm assuming the games he was called up for are after the FA Cup Final and therefore he can focus on Villa until then, either way? Really hope he picks England over Ireland. Not just because I want him too, but playing alongside better players can only help. Edited May 13, 2015 by kurtsimonw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Likely to play more games, and sooner if he plays for Ireland. So probably best he picks England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about playing for Ireland at underage level would have helped develop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't see what all the fuss is about. Imo the guy is English until he chooses Ireland at the FIFA recognised level. He's Mum was born in England, He's Dad was born in England, He was born in England, he holds a British passport. However his granddad was born in Ireland and he has played a few non competitive youth level games for them so he's Irish? Yeah… Okay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not this shit again. Nobody is saying he's irish. Just that he's played for Ireland at every youth level up until now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
