Norn Iron rubbish part 23452346526

[Gather round]

A game of football is 90 mins. What was the score after 90 mins? Extra time and penalties are used to decide which team progresses to the next round. We won the game but lost in extra-time.

If Crusaders beat Newry tomorrow 1-0 after 90 mins - will you accept that as a victory or will you ask for an extra 30 mins to played?

A game of football can either 90 or 120 minutes; if the Crues-Newry game was the second leg of a cup tie and we'd lost the first 1-0 yes, I'd be pretty insistent on extra time. (For the obvious reason, but also just in case some of the nutters on this thread thought Newry should progress, without actually winning but as they would otherwise be under-represented in IFA competitions or something).

You drew. Get over it.

Very proud Northern Irish family, the Evans

Yes, the Welsh must be wondering when they left....

Gibson was one case which could have ended up in the courts - an Irish citizen (identity Irish) did not have the same rights to be eligible for selection as say and Irish citizens like Kevin Kilbane (born in the UK, or any of the Irish lads born in the Republic). Gibson was being discriminated against according to the Irish Constitution as all Irish citizens are meant to have equal opportunities. And the FAI is an Irish State funded organisation.

This guy on the north’s forum needs to take a ‘chill pill’ over Darron Gibson.

“Because I hate the sectarian wee toerag to the core”

“Most of all by the scumbags at the FAI, who ripped up a gentleman's agreement to peddle sectarian sh*te in Northern Irish football to further their own interests”


Get over it lads, He’s Irish, he plays for Ireland!

Rightly or wrongly, The match ultimately was a draw. Bit like most of the matches in the group!

The point above about NI and Republic winning away against top seeds is very true. The only difference I can see is that the Republic have been more consistent at beating the lower ranked teams away and drawing aginst some of the higher ranked one. The word here is consistent, NI also have had some very good away draws (e.g Germany)

Agreed.

Yes, the Welsh must be wondering when [the Evans brothers' family] left....

Get over it lads, they're Northern Irish, they play for Northern Ireland.

In the last 10 years, NI have won three of 25 away qualifiers (against San Marino, Liechtenstein and Malta). For all the battling draws, that record just ain't any good, so being slightly better than it is neither here nor there. We haven't beaten a bigger and higher ranked country since Euro 96 qualifying (Austria) or one of the top two seeds/ favorites since WC 1986 (Romania).

He's pretty bitter, and McStay isn't the first in recent times to play for us(according to that poster), it'd probably be Mark McKeever who was playing for the R.O.I U-18's and U-21's back in the late 90's.

Shouldn't really get into this....I accept the tie was lost (have to), but you are technically incorrect. Ireland won the game in Paris 1-0. If we hadn't won the game there wouldn't have been extra time. A game is 90 minutes plus injury time. If not, we should get France back to Dublin to play the remaining 30 minutes from the first game! Extra time was played because France won in Dublin and we won in Paris.

OK, don't. You drew, get over it.

[paul_oshea]

Predator im gaa, but im sorry its still deeply entrenched in everything catholic. I mean county board meetings start with the prayer in irish still in some places.

Although everyone is encouraged to play and I personally love to see it, its still deeply rooted in catholicism

When a game goes to extra time the result recorded is the one after 120 minutes. FIFA record the match as a draw and it is recognized as such in the list of results and for the FIFA rankings. The FAI will do likewise.

Of course we should have won and would have won but for a cheating Frenchman and a blind Swedish linesman but unfortunately we didn't.

I can remember a couple of young lads called Hicks & Lagan playing for Ireland u17's in 98.

The IFA honcho at the time, David Bowen, and the North's youth manager, Roy Millar did a television interview suggesting that the youngsters `had neglected their country''.

Bowen went on to express his 'annoyance' at "the ease" with which northern nationalists could obtain Irish passports

[ArdeeBhoy]

In the last couple of series you've beaten Cyprus (once, as well as shipping a rugby score to them), and Georgia in a neutral country. Fair enough, you can only play what and where it turns up, but it's hardly that impressive. In the equally recent past, you failed to beat one sixth seed home or away and laboured to a 96th minute winner against the worst team in Europe. Oh, and draws- whether after 90 minutes or 120- don't count as wins.

Not a great record overall, but under Trapp, Ireland have become hard to beat given he doesn't even pick his strongest team! And even the most begrudging Orange bigot might admit we 'enjoyed' no luck v.the French!!!

Perhaps a better measure of international 'success' would be average FIFA(For all those C*nts are worth)'s World 'Rankings' over the last decade?

As for Maths;careful with the hypocrisy!

Not only would they have needed to have got lost between Dublin and
Liverpool- but also fail to spot the difference between an east- and west-facing coastline. Maybe the Luftwaffe crew forgot their compass that night?

A no.of relations alive at the time, told me it was accounted popularly and subsequently, as being 'in error' due to being a foggy night. And bombed Beal-feirste (and Dublin) and error.
Before you get all paranoid, some of them were no fans of the 'Dev' propaganda machine....

You what? Listen, have a word with IFK. He had some drugs available up-thread; you clearly need to change yours.

Re.above & below

People in Glass houses....

Your memory struggles with a game 23 days ago? On second thoughts, don't give the drugs to Janey Mac, take them yourself.

Get over it lads, He’s Irish, he plays for Ireland!

You want to see what they say about Marc Wilson, who may never turn out to be good enough to play for even NE Ulster, anyway....
Unfortunately there's still a substantial no.who've not taken the NB 'Amendment' !!

Get over it lads, they're Northern Irish, they play for Northern Ireland.

But they must be as British, as some of the locals with that surname??

In the last 10 years, NI have won three of 25 away qualifiers (against San Marino, Liechtenstein and Malta).We haven't beaten a bigger and higher ranked country since Euro 96 qualifying (Austria) or one of the top two seeds/ favourites since WC 1986 (Romania).

Just think how you might have benefited from an AI team then!

The World Cup as brought to you, when fixed by FIFA....

Mr Bowen might have been even more surpised at "the ease" with which Northern Unionists could have obtained (and can obtain) an Irish passport!

What do you mean?

Generally, people born in Northern Ireland are British Citizens, unless they have denounced said Citizenship by sending the appropriate documentation to the UK Home Office, and had their denounciation accepted.

I have yet to meet anyone in Northern Ireland who has done this.

Consequently, most people in Northern Ireland are Dual Nationals (something you don't seem to have a grasp of).

The irredentist Citizenship laws of the Irish Republic afford me Irish Citizenship - I am a British Citizen by birth too.

How do you think "nationalists"from Northern Ireland qualify for the IFA International representative teams...the IFA being a "British" Association, as per FIFA Statutes?

PS: Adams isn't a very "Irish" name, is it?

Just read it again.

And was being 'tongue-in-cheek', FFS. You lot are paranoid about everything.
As said before, have family born in Doire & Beal-feirste and just have Irish passports. They're not interested in a British one or denouncing something they've never had. Not that anyone has ever asked them!

If you want a Brit.one, bully for you or whoever. Maybe 'thank' them for their past colonial antics, will you?

And what's the relevance of the 'Adams' mention??

[ArdeeBhoy]

Know where yer coming from, but the smart a**es have got it right. And yes, we were robbed.

[co. down green]

No idea, Perhaps the current IFA director of coaching, Roy Millar scared them away from the sport after they committed treason against 'loyal ulster'
