@ Territorial
I know FIFA recognise football associations. Im saying all nations should have their own football associations. Eligibility shouldn't be one or the other. There are other factors to consider. I've no problem with an Irish Unionist in the Republic wanting to declare for N.I. seeing as an Irish citizen in N.I. can play for the Republic. Nationality and birthplace are other factors that can qualify you. If there is a rule that benefits us in the Republic well then the same courtesy rule should be extended to Unionists down here. I wouldn't support any Irishman playing for N.I. But they should have the right to. And by support I mean The I wouldn't be shouting for them, not that I'd be against it enough to block them.

Charming use of the collective. (Oh and just so you know, the normal Nordie term to use when stereotyping a whole group of people is "Themmuns" ) Edited by Territorial - 18 Jun 2015 at 3:03pm |

Indeed, it had very little even to do with fairness, since Irish Citizens born in NI are very much second class when compared with their fellow citizens in the Republic. You know, when it comes to important things like Voting Rights and Pensions etc. Yet when it comes to something so (relatively) unimportant as Football, then suddenly the cry is "Equality!". |

FIFA does not recognise "nations", they recognise National Associations.
Wow.

P.S. I rather try to look smart than look stupid...
But hey, if you want to turn this discussion about the rights and wrongs of the international eligibility rules into a juvenile "yah-boo-sucks-we're-better-than-you" bunfight, then knock yourself out. I won't be joining in, mind.
Which is where the concept of "fairness" comes in. Which was only the point made by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
It is always open to the likes of James McClean to follow the example of eg Mikel Aranburu, who refused to represent Spain U-21's because of his Nationalist views. No wait...

I joined this site for one reason and one reason only
I like many other Catholics in Northern Ireland are are sick and tired by those in the small minority who refuse to move on from the troubles. Now don't get me wrong people have a right to be angry , however anger should never get in the way of progress. I have been to every Northern Ireland much home and away for the last few years, I travel with three other friends one of which is also catholic. To date, I have not felt uncomfortable intimidated or singled out at any time, with the exception of God save the Queen there are no songs sang in or outside the ground that I refused to sing along with, there is no billy boys, no sash, no songs about killing Catholics or any other rubbish that has been spouted on here. If you hate Northern Ireland as a Country an Association then that's your right, but there's no need to be a f**king idiot about it. The strides that have taken place in Northern Ireland are extraordinary and everyone should be applauded, no longer do we have army on our streets, next marriages are the norm as are Catholics and Protestants becoming best friends and Schools are finally becoming integrated. How can those with hatred in their bellies move on, the hatred will drive you insane and leave your very shallow person. Someone here really need to have a look in the mirror, you are in the small minority, many young Catholics and Protestants now in themselves as being northern Irish over being called Irish or British. |

The Peace Link Complex in Clones has made history as the first facility to host the home games of a Northern Ireland Football Club. Councillors heard this week that Magheraveely Football Club have received permission to play their home matches at the Peace Link in Clones in county Monaghan.
The move has been described as an historic occasion for the development because no other soccer club from Northern Ireland has ever before been permitted permission to play their home matches in the Republic of Ireland. After a 14 year wait, the €8.5 million euro Peace Link Sports Complex was officially opened by President Michael D Higgins last September, creating 10 jobs within the local economy. A spokesperson for the facility says this development shows how ‘The Peace Link’ is fulfilling its potential in building relationships through sport. |
