but he's only playing for Australia because he didn't get on the pitch for Wales

fair enough like, but he's not categorically Australian, far from it, he probably has no memory of ever living in Australia

in the same way Australia aren't categorically Asian even though they are playing in the Asian Cup

like Gethin, they choose to switch federations in order to get a decent competitive game

I agree with you. I think it’s bollocks. Must of been an odd conversation with Iredale. Good luck to him though.

He's eligible but he's not Australian 

Like McAteer and Coyle are not Irish but were eligible to play for Ireland along with a whole host of other Brits who've turned out for them since the 90s 

Everyone knows how it works 

Except you it seems

"I've lived in Wales pretty much my whole life and speak the Welsh language. I'm 100% Welsh."

I'd guess that was more of a Bolton fan POV than an actual eligibility statement.
Sometimes the written word is open to interpretation and not always a case of black or white.

I know, I get all that, he switched because he wasn't getting a senior game for Wales

it's understandable, lots of footballers do it

but it doesn't make him categorically Australian though as you suggested

he's still Welsh

he's just a Welshman with other options

Or he's an Australian who was brought up in Wales...

Anyway, it's a groin injury and they're awaiting the results of a scan.

you'll have to take it up with Gethin, he's the one who thinks he's Welsh

someone needs to tell him he's now Asian as well

You're the one who's got a problem with him playing for Australia, not me.

I've no problem good luck to him, I made a jokey comment about it being a piss take what with him not being Austraian (because he isn't) and Australian not being in Asia (because it isn't)

 and then you waded in tyring to be all literal and explicit about things. so now here we are, arguing the toss

I didn't "wade in". Wading is a descriptive term for walking through a liquid.
