Is Giggs foreign?

[emurf]

[QUOTE=shammy feen]I wouldnt regard players from Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland as foreigners with regard to the premiership. ;)

not getting into the nationalist stuff in the sports forum but The FA is english and the premiership is in england and seen as Wales and Scotland are different countries to england and northenIreland is actually part of Ireland they are foreign players

[xvis]

Is Giggs foreign?

no.
scots, welsh, norn iron all hold same passports as english,

so, strictly with the thread title should be not considered.

Ask any Scotsman if he doesn't consider himself a foreigner living in England.

It's the English Premier league. Any Englishman living in Scotland is a foreigner and vice versa. If it were the British Premier League you'd have a point.

Why do some scottish fans wave the george cross at games then?

For the same reason SOME Scottish fans wave the tricolour. Some Rangers fans follow England but they're still not English.

Mate have a look at the name of the thread. "Premiership". Giles and Brady never played in the premiership.

Think he's just listing the top four Irish players of all time - to emphasise his point that Mgrath is a valid inclusion

Good call.

[Otto_the_bus_driver]

Some man to take a free kick, didn't savo make it big else where. I admired his goal celebrations

[emurf]

did Jan Molby Play in the Prem or was he retiered before it started

[Otto_the_bus_driver]

well prem was 92-93. Think the fat man may have been gone by then. Think Souness had wright, harkness and all that crowd instead of jan

[emurf]

Pity. The Great Dane was the best footballer to never move out of the center circle.

"Top 10 Foreigners in premiership - the thread "

if in doubt check, with the Home Office what the term foreigner means.

Scots, Welsh etc are not deemed as foreigners, ..so when Giggs works at United with his National Insurance number etc... he's just not a foreigner.

...and everyone knows Wales are 'just Englands bitches' anyway.

most of McGraths career is before the premiership.

Who doesn't deem them foreigners? The English?

How come they don't all qualify to play for England then if they don't belong to a separate country? Yes they'd qualify for British citizenship of course but they are not English. Tell Craig Bellamy he's English, tell Scott Brown he's English and wait for the reaction.As for the "England's bitches" comment...

Yep and the first one in the premiership for that matter.

..their national government.

tell Craig Bellamy to go off and apply for a Welsh passport and let me know how he gets on.

they can qualify for England, any foreigner who gets a British passport can choose to play for any of the Home nations, players such as Grobelaar(sp) had a choice.

Thats why they call them 'the Home Nations' ...because they're not foreign, they're home-based.
