It's not even shown the scoreboard in the stadium from the win against Spain in 82, tricolour on that and all.

It's the reason Camoige and Ladies Football won't join the GAA.

Probably as good as time as ever if we were going to do it. 
Think there is the will of a majority of people who would like to see it happen. There could only be a benefit having more heavily supported teams in one national league too.

I need to out myself but id love to see a united ireland and football team on top, even if it meant a new flag and anthem

I wouldn't. I want to see a United Ireland, but even that would have to be federal. I grew up loving the Republic of Ireland and still do, I am not sure I would have the same enthusiasm for a new  team.
We have an all-Ireland team as it is.
