Not that he’d ever play for them With just the *checks notes* 25 caps as well. Scott has Northern Irish heritage, definitely. Don’t think that’s on his radar somehow..

The dump is called Newport and it’s several miles from the service station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Jay is about as Welsh as my big toe. I bet he can't even sing their National Anthem or speak any Welsh. It's getting beyond ridiculous. I certainly don't expect him to be donning wellies and chasing sheep around a field, which I thought was a prerequisite. He might be coming round the mountains though for all I know.

Not in the fraternal sense, but apparently he's very partial to roast lamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercially available DNA tests are something of a nonsense diversion. You'll have a similar halotype to that mostly found in Wales, but as Ancient Britons living in England and Ancient Britons living in Wales were identical that merely means you have neglibile Saxon or Norman (or more modern migrant) ancestry. It doesn’t mean you are not "English". Extremely non-swarthy people I know are routinely told by these kit testers that they have Spanish heritage, when what is probably the case in most tests is that they carry some DNA markets common among the "beaker folk" who migrated to the UK from the Iberian Peninsula in the Bronze Age. Spain didn’t exist back then and modern Spaniards - although many will also have beaker folk halotypes - are of a very different DNA profile than these ancient people. 16 hours ago, E.G.Red said: So you'd deny someone the opportunity to play on the World stage ie The World Cup? If they are English like Jay, yes. If anything he's more Brazilian than Welsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
