    Ah but sure, all I said was true.
    No rush getting back. When you do respond, just as now, nothing will have changed.
    All NI-born players will be eligible to play for the Republic, should they wish.

    More FAI training camps:



    Unfortunately, I don't have data for every English, Scottish and Welsh local government area breaking down the number of Irish Republic passport holders/ grandsons of de aspora/ owners of Riverdance downloads, but you can keep the map for your kids to use as an advent calendar at Xmas.

    The words pot kettle and black come to mind.

    I believe the FAI are setting up camps in Zambia, Norway, Canada and Germany among others to poach your players.

    Could you contact the major news agencies next time you post, just in case you ever mention something either accurate or amusing??
    Obviously the word 'diaspora' has escaped you in both its spelling and meaning and if you can ever find an 'Irish Republic' passport, let the rest of the world know!
    And there are now only 7 days in December?? Still in the unionist 'revisionist' calendar, the month of March does tend to rather go on.....

    Like said upthread there are more pressing matters, financial and medical, for you to attend to....

    I always find it amusing when the North’s supporters go on about the number players born outside the island who play for Ireland.

    Its almost as though they get amnesia when reading through their own underage squads.

    Seeing as maps are the popular medium at the moment, here’s one showing some of the Birthplace’s of the north’s current u17 to u21 squads, i'm sure their are more English born players in the current squads, maybe even a few Zambians or Germans.


  15. Thanks From:

    Such an ability takes years of practice.

    This was at the time of the 2001 census so this is where all the 13 year olds an younger are situated now if sombody wants to draw training camps on it.

    If we ever want to do an over 75 Ireland team (aka father ted) this map is better to allow us to set up training camps.

    Yes that criticism always brings a smile considering there's a long list of players the IFA has approached only to be turned down. We currently have a number of senior internationals that will attest to that. Nigel's planned recruitment drive of established professionals has failed so the focus is now on recruiting kids that don't know better.

    Animated GIFs are great. Shows the tide going out.

    What I cannot understand is what is going on in parts of West Tyrone. There seem to be a few house swaps going on!!

    I forgot about our own former Ireland u16 international John (Johnny) Gorman who is playing for the North, now added.
