Stoke City's Jermaine Pennant may switch flags to play for Ireland

Press Association
guardian.co.uk, Tue 8 Mar 2011 15.50 GMT
The Football Association of Ireland has indicated that it would consider Jermaine Pennant's desire to play international football for the Republic of Ireland, if he should make contact. The 28-year-old Stoke City winger, who has represented England at Under-21 level, has admitted that he has given up hope of winning senior caps for the country of his birth and has said that he wants to turn to Ireland, for whom he believes he qualifies through a grandfather.
Pennant made his comments in an interview with the Stoke Sentinel. He said: "My grandad is Irish, so there's a chance I can play for them. I'm not getting any younger and I would like to play international football. And who's to say Ireland can't get to the next World Cup? If I could be a part of that, then it would be great.
"Of course, I would love to play for England, but it has never happened and I don't think it is going to. That's not because of my ability, but maybe misdemeanours in the past have put a halt to that coming about."
The Nottingham-born winger, whose former clubs include Arsenal, Birmingham City and Liverpool, was jailed in 2005 for a drink-driving offence. He has since rebuilt his career and is back in England after a spell with Real Zaragoza in Spain.
The Republic of Ireland manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, has worked hard to increase the depth of his squad and Stoke's Glenn Whelan, Marc Wilson and Jon Walters have been selected. However, the Italian has a strong group of wide midfielders already, with Damien Duff, Aiden McGeady, Liam Lawrence, Stephen Hunt, Keith Fahey and Andy Keogh having played there and the Everton youngster Seamus Coleman emerging.
Trapattoni's team will resume their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign at home to Macedonia later this month. Victories over Armenia and Andorra were followed by a defeat by Russia and a draw in Slovakia. The Irish are second in Group B, behind the Russians on goal difference. They finished behind the then world champions, Italy, in qualification for the 2010 World Cup and missed out on the finals in South Africa after a controversial play-off defeat by France.

Actually the only thing that could make this in any way palatable would be if he was selected and then never got a game. The thought of him sitting on the bench cursing his "dodgy character" and not the fact that he's fucking shit would be perfect.
 
He'd fit in well with a lot of them and he'd slot nicely into the number 2 position on my list of hated Irish internationals.

Are there a lot of carrots?

Yes - but apparently there was once a shortage of potatoes.
 
The poor deluded simpleton honestly believes it's his misdemeanours and not lack of talent that has resulted in him not being called up by England! He hasn't quite reached Bendtner levels of delusion but he's heading that way.

It goes without saying I would be disgusted if we capped him - apart from anything else he's just not good enough.
 
Guess who wrote this:

Tennants is playing well for Stoke, and he's probably just clever enough to realise that he has little chance of playing International football for England, so I don't see why this is a problem for him or Eire.

It's not like they have talent coming out of their ears at the moment.

And let's face it, when it comes to incoherent halfwit dipsomaniacs, it's a decent fit.*

* that was a joke. Some of my best friends are Irish.
And my parents. And all of my extended family.
