Footballers - who's Brexit and who's Remain?

Matt Doherty - Remain - He holds no responsibilities, so if he could have he could not have possibly left himself responsible for leaving the EU.

How do you figure that out?

I assume he means local elections, which were limited to property owners in Derry (and the rest of the North) back in the day, and basically no nationalists owned their own houses in Derry.

Harry Redknapp was thinking of voting Brexit, until he realised he wouldn't have been able to pick Nico Kranjar, so he's firmly in the Remain camp.

Er, the referendum was a national vote. Such votes have carried a one person, one vote franchise throughout the United Kingdom since 1928. So unless McClean's grandfather was a woman, born before 1907, he won't have been excluded.  P.S. We might have a better idea of Jamesie's view on Brexit if we knew how he voted in the Referenda on the Lisbon Treaty in 2008/9. No, wait...

Ah, I didn't get the reference to the original 1970s referendum.

Except that in the history of NI "in general", votes for Stormont and Westminster were one person, one vote, with the exception of Stormont's first 8 years, when they used a franchise of single transferable vote (PR) for 8 years before reverting to opov.

If their opinions are the same today as they in this 2009 article, Jimmy Greaves and Ian St John probably are brexiteers.
