[JimmyHillsbeard]

Son of ex Cov youth defender Barry Ferguson. His mum is English. His parents met in Cov.

Apparently much of the Irish media is concerned that he could still be poached by England before he plays a fourth senior international game for the Republic of Ireland.

Me neither but as I say much of the Irish media (still sore about losing Rice and Grealish who they thought had chosen Ireland) making it a story ahead of the next internationals. Apparently the convention is he can swap if he plays no more than 3 times for the senior squad.

I suspect it’s a storm in a teacup and it won’t be a possibility after this international break but I was amused to find a Cov connection.

Should be made to play for the city his parents met in first and foremost.

He’s already played more than 4, I think. Regardless, there’s zero chance of him switching.

He can be the new excuse as to why we don't win anything for the next 20 years 'yeah but we had a problem on the left & if Giggs had chosen England' ...

Did his dad play 4 games for the city?

I’ve seen Barry Ferguson named a couple of times on here. I don’t remember him. on both occasions on seeing his name I’m surprised, thinking that at some stage we had his more famous name sake on our books.

Was a youth player in the 90s/2000s wasn’t he?

Yeah, a quick google has set me straight.

Glad for the Republic that it appears they've finally produced another top class player

Honest interview with his dad here that he wasn’t good enough to forge a career in England. He went on to play back home

'There's no hard-luck story with me. I wasn't good enough to play Premier League football'

Ex-Ireland underage international Barry Ferguson looks back on his career with Coventry, Longford and others.

The relation he has is too far back to be eligible, Ireland have already inquired

I always thought a player could swap as long as he hadn't played a competitive game?

Players can now switch if they have played no more than three competitive matches at senior level prior to them turning 21.

International eligibility rules loosened

Fifa's annual congress votes to allow players to switch countries if they have played no more than three competitive matches.

Interesting, thanks. Every day's a school day. But not sure I like that rule really, as it probably only helps the 'bigger' countries.

Yeah but we have Marcus Rashford playing for England.

 

[Rugby Sky Blue]

Saw an interview with him on RTE a few months back and he was asked the question and he laughed and said no chance I am Irish and my Dad wouldn’t speak to me again.

Man City already showing interest in him allegedly.

I'll be honest if I were him I wouldn't be interested in that if Haaland hangs around. Ferguson seems like a ready made United signing.
