"But not everyone follows the same policy. No less than eight of the Manchester United team that beat Arsenal's foreign contingent 4-2 come from these Isles (including Ireland), with only Gabriel Heinze, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mikael Silvestre hailing from overseas."
i dont generally get hung up on things like this but i dont like Irish players being referred to as British. A nice change to see our players being recognised as Irish as was done by Andy Gray above in his column for sky sports this month.
