[Albion] Does Dunk qualify to play for any other international side?

Only counts if it was for the senior side in a competitive match. Zaha had a hissy when it was obvious he'd never make the senior team & now plays for Nigeria.

Isnt the ruling that it must be a competitive match so if he was called up for the friendlies and it transpired he had Irish ancestors he could still switch. Well that how I read it.

It still wouldn’t even if he’d appeared for the under 21s. For a player to be tied into one particular country he has to have played In a competitive full international. Otherwise they can switch if they are eligible for another country. It is why Haha can represent Ivory Coast despite playing for England at various levels to under 21 and a couple of friendly appearances for the senior England.
It means we are still able to dream of an England call up for Ashley Barnes despite his glittering under 20 career for Austria.

He has a touch of the Guinea Bissau about him, or is it The Faroes?
I hope it's the latter so we don't miss him at the African Nations Cup each winter.

For a minute when I opened the BBC link,I thought he was going to play for Cape Verde!So if he has a British passport,can he only play for one of the home countries,or anybody he likes?Could a country,theoretically,buy a player

I am not grizzling just stating a fact that you have never to my knowledge ever offered anything constructive to a thread or even an arguable point to induce a discussion. You appear to have adopted the attitude of not being able to argue so resort to either trying, unsuccessfully, to take the p..s or belittle everybody. Others with a similar failing tend to be trying to do the same.
Hey [MENTION=257]The Large One[/MENTION] pop over to '2 strikers', perhaps you can offer something constructive to the thread, as I sure as hell can't be bothered to point out how Tomer is one of Europe's best penalty takers, and GM's effort on Friday was poor/lucky, at best.
No prizes for guessing who sees it differently.

Totally pie in the sky because he scored Had he not it becomes a different situation but he did what he had to do be it poor or lucky. How many has he missed for us?

So not only do you not remember anything, you don't see anything.
You're not very good at this debating thing, are you?

I can marry an elderly relative if it helps; might cause some severe surname confusion if he feels he has to adopt it (Duffy)
....whereas your usual debating tactic is to make a point, have it roundly dismissed by virtually everyone as nonsense (exhibit A being Dunk’s inability to carry the ball) then claim you can’t remember any instances to back up the point you made in the first place ?

You forgot claim loads of people agree with his point but conveniently none of them come on NSC.
