and if you feel differently mark, why not ask one of the lads in a cliftonville who has made the long journey from belfast at our next match how he feels about being put in the foreign section?
 
I'm sure he'll ask me what the f**k I'm talking about LOL 
 
"being the team that represent the views of and being the national team of the minority of nationalists in the 6 counties."
 
And disagree with that, I would much rather see a staunchly unionist footballer come play for us. We are open to all, regardless of race, religion, political persuation.
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

so would i mark. but the staunch unionists have made it clear that thats not going to happen for some time. until then, if that time hopefully comes i am very happy with the way the nationalists community in the north have looked to us as their national side. but to put these clubs in a section of foreign leagues is a disgrace. there is no difference between derry city and cliftonville in this sense. i actually have seen more cliftonville jerseys at games. you as much as anyone are encouraging people to support their local irish club. yet when fans from belfast do this, they are believed to be supporting a foreign team?

thats nonsense. i never said that. however the unionists have decided that on general they want to support what they feel to be their national side. i would love to see a 32 county team. but until then, the current arrangement suits me, as long as technicalities such as that teams and more iimportantly fans in the irish league are not foreign.

There is no difference between Derry City and Cliftonville?

Plenty.  Please don't associate us with the glue sniffers.

Ginn as a supporter of a 1st division team, myself and others fought tooth and nail to have even a 1st division thread in the LOI section. It was a battle but we eventually succeeded. Having to fight for one sticky for the LOI 1st should highlight the size of the task youre facing here. I agree every ROI fan on this island should be able to discuss their local club even if it is based in the dark side. Keep up the good fight

Jeez I dunno about that Sham. It would be wall to wall English Premiership teams if they alowed that Tongue.
 
On the question being asked in this thread - does it come down simply to supply and demand. Very little demand for that section so a bit pointless doing it!
