They define who a player has represented. Is Owen Hargreaves Canadian or English?  Do many plumbers in Nigeria get international caps? National associations determine rules over nationality, overseen by fifa and eufa depending on the competition. Do SFA, fifa or UEFA deem Gough to be anything other than Scottish? Footballing context has differences on terms of nationality due to grand parental nationality and now years of schooling in certain countries. It's not as simple as country of birth or colour of passport. Made a cunt of it but won't hold your hand up it seems ?  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only played for Scotland. In the same way Murty played for Scotland but is English or Costa plays for Spain but is Brazilian. You should make sure you actually know what you're talking about before attempting to be a smart arse. In a footballing context he's south African eh? How many caps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizenship and Nationality are not the same. It's possible to be a citizen of a country without that being your nationality.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a cunt of it but won't hold your hand up it seems ?  No they don't. They detemine whether or not someone is allowed to represent a certain country at football. That does not alter your nationality. Is Owen Hargreaves English? Is Tony Cascarino Irish? Clearly not. They may have represented England and Ireland at football but there nationalities are still Canadian and English. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing rings true about you and as I said I think you're either a pathetic fantasist or an obsessed taig, probably both tbh. Ps I don't come on here for looking likes, if I did I wouldn't have spent most of my time in the boardroom section arguing with the usual suspects.
