He should join LFC. Rafa seems to think a hell of alot of James. He sounds like exactly the type of player Rafa craves. NOt only that, but he would be getting the opportunity to play for the most passionate fans to be found anywhere in the world, in an invironment that is only on the way up with their new owners. You only get one chance to play infront of the Kop and nobody ever regrets it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bazza76 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Liverpool? If passionate means illiterate (invironment?), then you're right. Otherwise, he should go to the club who really have the most passionate fans: Celtic. I imagine that he is a Celtic fan, also, as he is an Irishman from Hamilton. Thesean43 20:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

It has to be made clear that this boy is Scottish and a British citizen; having an Irish grandmother does not make him Irish; as far as I understand it, and maybe I'm wrong, he was born and raised in Scotland to Scottish parents. He has never played for the Republic of Ireland either; doing so, should he ever, will not make him cease to be Scottish either, as sporting teams are just sporting teams. If this teenager has any personal views on his own nationality, the outside world has not been made aware of it, as his reasons for apparently choosing to play for an Irish youth team (which wouldn't make him a legal footballing Irishman either) have not been revealed.

Yes, he has now played for Ireland at under age level.--Vintagekits 19:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
