Who's our biggest rival ?

I can fully see why people do see them as bigger rivals though, just personally for me its England, everyone has their own opinion and reason.

Of course its not the same for england, we never invaded them! They are huge country, in size and in football terms, were not so much. Dont be fooled into thinking that all english people cheer for us, theres many of them that dont. Our rivalry with England will always be number one, beating them would be almost better than 20 other victories put together for me, exaggeration but you know what i mean. Us and the north will be back to bein one country in future anyway

      HAVE u ever been to an eng/ire game outside ire ? well i have , and let me tell u it is not a very nice expreiance to be any where near them, i have witnessed an irish girl geting punched in the face at euro 88, irish fans attacked in dusseldorph euro 88, the filth & vile aimed at irish fans at euro 90, irish pub full of irish fans being attacked prior to match , wembley 91, fans attacked on tube on the way to same match, and all this from fans , who according to this fourm support & love us. If i can offer advice. if we ever play them, keep as far away from as possible,because they will draw u in and then turn on u like a knacker does.Every where they go they cause trouble, and there not fighting with themselves. BEWARE

The rivalry with England is more of a friendly rivalry these days (even though I do like to see them beaten in everything they play).

You just always want to get one over them especially cause they think they'd beat us 'Paddy's' everyday of the week.

England without a doubt ,no contest, we will be one with the north in the future anyway.

'Our Wee Country' for me.
