Why didn't he try out for the GB Olympics team if he "felt" so British?
I was born in this country, correct.
I have dual nationality, own houses in both countries, was called up for the Italian National service, my son has represented Italy in sport, unfortunately I wasn't good enough to, otherwise I would have done.
You seem so upset and insulted that I don't "feel" English, I'm waiting for the next comment about "well if you're so Italian, why don't you fuck off over there?" Because that's what it feels like is coming.
You do make me laugh Beanz, with your little Englander attitude, yet on the off topic forums , you jump down people's throats for perceived ganging up etc. 😂😂
well why don't you fuck off back there is you are so intalian

on the 'why didn't he try out for the GB Olympics team if he 'felt' so British' point, I could be completely wrong but and this is just a guess, but could it have been a case of confidence?
you often hear of footballers playing for countries that they don't actually come from because they feel they will get more games, English players who have a wee bit of Irish in them often have to make the choice of 'shall I stick with England and run the risk of never getting picked or shall I go for Ireland where there is a much higher chance of me getting picked'

for what its worth my dad hates Lennox Lewis purely because he believes that he is Canadian.
Your Dad talks a lot of sense , I think I'd get on well with him. although hate is a bit strong.
My dad is very much like me, it takes a helluva lot less effort to hate someone than it does to tolerate someone, its a family trait.

Once when he was watching Emmerdale he got really annoyed at some woman on it and he turned to me with a steely look in his eye and he growled at me ''that slut deserves to get raped by a cow''
