Beggars can't be choosers and we're just going to have to roll with the punches and take all of this on the chin. Declan Rice was our best player in the three games he's played for us and even though it could have been handled better, there's nothing we can or should do other than hope he chooses to play for us after all.
And Duffer referenced a great story from his time in green where one of his teammates would sing the English National anthem on occasions.
The blonde bomber knew this teammate wanted to play for England, so did everyone else and though it irked them slightly they got on with it because he stood up in green on numerous occasions.

The fact that Roy Keane had wrote the following about Holland in his autobiography probably feeding those claims."I won’t name any names, here, but I used to play with a player - for 40 or 50 caps he was with me, and I remember we all caught him rapid singing the English national anthem. Did we have a problem with it? Yeah. But I still wouldn’t change it because he brought a lot to the Irish team for, I dunno, five, six, seven, eight years.“You won’t get the name out of me, but he obviously wanted to play for England, he played for Ireland, and he brought an awful lot of happiness to our country," said Duffer.
And the jigsaw was pieced together.
