Not familiar with Davis (or Duffy), who does he play for? - I'm curious, not being smart a..d

Davis Rangers via Villa

Duffy is at Everton

The egg chasers can have it It's an alright anthem as I've said before .

On the all ireland football issue , the FAI split from IFA . Not the other way around . I do wonder how it would be administered though , would IFA get control because it was the original football association for Ireland ?

The IFA couldnt run a bun fight in a cake shop. They sacked Wells because he gave tickets to the remaining 1958 guys rather than the wives of the executives

thats only a cod,wouldn't mind that old rubbish, we all need to be inclusive and if that means including people from the 6 in our team I'm all for it so we can be a truly all Ireland team.

Not sure which school you went to but most of that sounds par for the course for any schools match.

I know Regent, Sullivan Upper, Royal School Armagh and a few others, and have nothing but a good word to say about all of them. Never came across even an iota of trouble (excluding one guy from Regent who called us Fenian bastards ), so that's why I'm sort of mystified by your bias/disdain claims.



Like I said, rugby people generally keep it about sport. Which is why it won't be changing any time soon. If we didn't split during the Troubles, we won't split now.

personally think Regent were a shower as well as Rainey.

Maybe different years different rivals and motivations

we welcome all to our inclusive team.

If inclusive is pursuing a policy that discriminates against people actually from your country.

How many Brits does it take get the ROI to a world cup quarter final again?

again as i say its about the man who pulls on the jersey and how well he plays for his country. you shouldn't be getting into name calling. As long as they want to play for Ireland thats good enough for most supporters.

The poll never asked if they wanted a United Ireland, and it certainly never asked which soccer team they identify with. More lies.

Furthermore, how does your 21 per cent claim jive with the 400,000 plus passports sent North in the past decade alone, or the fact that Nationalist/Republicans like Sinn Féin (who won the biggest share of the vote) and the SDLP currently hold 8 or NI's 18 Westminster seats???

Have you been hitting the Bushmills again???

I have protestant friends from east Belfast with Irish passports.

Out and out Unionists who just fancied getting a second spell in Australia on the working holiday visa cause they'd already used their British one.

That should go some way to meeting the balance of fervent Sinn Fein voters who have British passports because they're cheaper.
