Don't we have the same problem with the Dublin District Leagues running the youths with other counties not getting a look in?

I get what you say but being a protestant has nothing to do with a persons nationality or ethnicity. Those men were proud Irishmen living in Ireland.

True. Your average RA head doesnt know that Robert Emmett and Wolfe Tone were Protestants. Sam Maguire too. |

Like our illusions/delusions on the greatness of our football history we are the same in our political history. It is also quite remarkable that in our rabid anti-britishness 99% of our revoluntary leaders including Gerry Adams are of british stock. Our two best managers were british as well. We are a contradiction and a hugely ironic people indeed.

Yet De Valera executed more republicans than the british ever did? De Valera accepted the oath to the King when he was elected into power in 1927. Collins was a traitor who sold out his own people in the 6 counties and was ordered by Churchill to put down republicans with artillary supplied by the british army. Yet these two fine Irishmen are still looked on with Godlike status in the South, and De Valera was half cuban.

NR I'm well aware of the causes of the civil war bit partitionism was a part of the negotiations. Do you think there's no correlation whatsoever between the created state of N.I. and the civil war? Come on now. Even if we had the 26 county Republic and not having to take an oath, do you think De Valera and the anti treaty aside would gave accepted that entirely. There still would have been some type of violent resistance imo. |

The fact is we had a one team Ireland football team but some people in dublin pulled away and formed their own Association creating two teams on the island.

I would never want to give legitimacy to a British statelet's football team in this country as I don't believe it should exist as a political entity. This is a political view, not a personal one against the fans,players or manager. How is that difficult for you to understand? There should be one team in this country which encompasses every corner of this Island including the statelet you live in. |

Michael has N.I. playing well as a team and there is a good spirit and optimism in the side. Created chances against Romania saturday and are playing to a plan and players playing out of their skins. If they make it to France they will have deserved it for those traits alone.

I've never really paid much attention to the team tbh Territorial so don't know who's been in the starting XI's, who's playing well this campaign? I know Lafferty is in a rich vein of form, how has Stephen Davis done? Thought he had a great season with Southampton.

The truth is Dublin broke away when there was an all-Ireland team to for their own and now we have two teams. It was a stupid thing to do in fairness.

The most annoying type of fan on the island though is the rural muck savage from the likes of Mayo or Cark (usually a Fine Gael Indo reader) who tries to make you feel like a sectarian bigot for supporting Ireland.

Anyone born on the Island is Irish regardless of religion,colour or creed. No borders or politicians or laws can alter that fact. We have Irishmen choosing the ROI as their country to play for and we have Irishmen of both religions choosing N.I. as their country to play for. It is down to an individuals choice now.

Being from the north I wouldn't say 10% support NI where I'm from. It is strange as supporting them was never really a consideration. I now have NI supporting mates and in laws and have always liked Belfast based players as we're from the same town but it genuinely delighted me when they were terrible. Nothing sectarian too it either it is just the nature of a sporting rivalry.
One point I must address re "mediocre performances under Trapp and Martin" We were having a ball in Poland under Trapp when you NI boys were having sh*t wet holidays in Portrush not too long ago. |
