If he's not going to turn up to pick that up then
that is a bit disrespectful.
I see that Manager Mick decided to call up Glenn Whelan. We finally have loads of central midfielders again and Mick Mac reckons we need Glenn Whelan. FFS.
Well, at least Stephen Kenny won't have to worry about starting with high expectations.

They said they "had to preserve the integrity of the voting process " which I understand, what I don't understand is who would vote for him when his commitment to the national team was in serious doubt.

For what it is worth, I think that players should be able to represent multiple countries. We live in a globalised world with mixed nationality being more and more common. Let somebody declare at the beginning of every qualification campaign who they want to play for. They can change again at the beginning of the next qualification campaign.
In the 2015 World Championship in Qatar, Qatar had an acknowledged policy of paying to naturalise players so they could qualify to play for Qatar. Most of the players brought in had not played for another national team but some, like Danijel Šarić (who has played for Serbia, Bosnia & Qatar), were people who were no longer part of their original national teams setup and had moved on to play for Qatar.
