"I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Arter told The Sunday World. "This was Irish people who had looked at a few newspaper stories and come to the conclusion that I was about to go and play for England. I never said that was happening and my stance on the whole story was that I didn't need to comment on something that was little more than a rumour. "Then I see these Twitter messages and, honestly, it was the only time that I have ever had a thought that maybe I shouldn't play for Ireland. The messages were just vile. I was shocked by what people were sending my way. Honestly, I had to check that someone had not hacked my account and put a message on there to inspire this reaction. "A lot of the messages have now been deleted, which says all you need to know about the people that thought it was a good idea to write them in the first place."Hopefully Arter continues his good form for Bournemouth and is fit for Ireland's World Cup qualification game against Austria next month. Unfortunately, the Twitter trolls, of all nationalities, will be still there, and most likely praising Arter if he plays well for Ireland.
