Good to see Danny Invincible, Predator and The Fly all over this thread.
Our 'barrack room lawyers' are way ahead of the EG/GR's of this world.
Men against boys and all that.

* Each of the four British Associations is recognised as a separate Member of
FIFA.
Northern Ireland is not the territory of the FAI - Northern Ireland is the territory of the IFA.
Isn't it technically 'both' after the CAS ruling though, NB??
As in your potentially relative loss and our gain?
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you AB.Quote:

And you'd still be wrong. I inferred nothing about posts I wasn't replying to.Quote:

But if that's what floats Lord Justice Ardee's boat, fine.Quote:

Apologies for responding to the other distorted interjection, but stand by the point that certain posters have very visibly lost on the very tenuous points they were alluding to make.
And just as well had no legal standing, as they would have been laughed out long ago!!!
;)
They should quit before they fall further behind.
More seriously does the CAS ruling differentiate between potential nationality and territory in this instance?? As in the subsequent national association.
As in it can fall both sides of the fence, as it were.
Despite the odd, er, 'protestation', guessing Messrs. Invincible, Pred & Fly have answered either here or in threads passim.....
8 pages already... I'm coming over all nostalgic for the Boundary Commission...
I just hope this kid is worth all the fuss. Somehow I think not.
Fly knew well, he was saying he holds inference as in EG speaks in flowery language.Quote:

Which would disprove that theory fairly quickly!!
I agree.Quote:

I'll give you a clue - Bruce did not acquire a new nationality.
However Barton may be eligible for the Republic Of Ireland, it is not because Northern Ireland is the territory of the FAI.
What little credibility the Belfast Telegraph sports writers had, has, in my opinion, been torn to shreds by their last few articles on the affair.
Are you saying Bruce qualified to play for us under article 15 then? That's kind of the idea I was mulling over in post #131 regarding Barton. I can certainly see how it's possible.Quote:
