We would have to have agree on anthems. Either we play both, or a comprimise (not necissarily Ireland's Call, though I actually like it), or none. In any case, we definately couldn't play one without the other at away games, though possibly could for home games (depending on whether they were in Belfast or Dublin).Quote:

I voted no on the national team, purely because I'm a realist. It might seem like a good idea but if you stand back and take a look at it, and think, the lot of them Unionists/Nationalists - they can't even agree on how much concrete you should pour in a hole full of Semtex, so they'll never agree to it. I'd hazrd a guess that most of the nationalists in the north support ROI anyway.
The league idea may be easier to overcome but I'd say the actual re-organization that would have to be done would scare evryone off.
We are not ready politicially or sportingly for a merger yet.
