Twitchy Courting Controversy Again

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

You'll find that both Bale and Giggs were eligible to play England.

 

Don't think it was ever an option for Giggs as he played only played for England schoolboys as he was a schoolboy in England.

you said they both chose Wales because its easier to cry off. My guess is they chose wales because they are both welsh. Cant be that difficult to understand surely?

[Yukon]

Is there any shame in not wanting to play for England [your country]??

 

Not at all but you should have the power of your convictions and declare yourself unavailable, you shouldn't get your manager to make excuses up for you if you get the call

I agree 100%

I would be amazed if it wasnt Peter Crouch. Didnt he get asked to be on standby for the last euros by Hodgson and told him where stick it?

 

I have no problem with players not wanting to represent their country, however they need to be man enough to let the people of the country know.

I think he was joking about them missing so many matches for Wales

Go on 'arry..name the person and then they can sue you for slander when you can't prove it

 

Idiocy at it very best (or worst)

[JOHNNYAITCH]

He's probably said enough to get sued..after all loads of people wil now be certain it was A or B and that's enough to damage their reputation

 

 

He is a silly s0d

Danny Baker said on 606 years ago how when talking to the then England players that they hated playing in some mid week game in Eastern Europe, and they would come up with a strain or a pull so they didnt have to travel.

The question is did Harry do it for them, clubs do it all the time. How many times have English players not been allowed to represent their country because they are "injured" only to be in the clubs starting line up 3-4 days later. The problem is the Premier League has now become more important than the England national team.

As I see it, World Cup aside, when Australia needs its top players from the European 'League competitions their respective 'Clubs can be more than a little creative to making them unavailable.

 

Come January 2015 Australia will be hosting the Asian Cup and my guess is we will be fielding a different squad to the one returning home from the World Cup.
