Didn’t he get called up to one of the under age teams a couple of years ago but pulled out because he felt more Irish or something. I can’t remember all the details.

Yep I believe so. Was the U17s about 5 years ago. He is 22 now and was just released from Blackburn
 
Some younger players who are Australian dual nationals and should be considered for youth national teams include:
  • Delano Cecchi (2008) – Plays for Sampdoria U18.
  • Alexander Xie (2007) – Plays for Stuttgart U19; born in Australia to Chinese parents.
  • Samuel Okolie (?) – Plays for Cambridge United U18; born in Australia and has recently been selected for Seychelles.
Another player that is a bit older is Melos Bajrami who holds an Australian passport and previously represented Kosovo at U21 level.

Alex Robertson enjoying the off season on Bondi Beach on Instagram....hopefully some conversations with Popa on his return from the Middle East are planned....

He was training with Segacic for a couple of weeks, before he went to Portsmouth
 
His situation completely confuses me. He seems to see himself as Australian, but it's still unclear to me whether there's a FIFA paperwork issue involved in playing for the national team or if he's simply waiting to see how his career unfolds waiting for a better option.

I feel like Robertson wanted to establish himself at a decent club level without the burden of international football, considering his injury issues. Also, something seemed to happen between him and Arnie. I hope he circles back to the national team.
